Creating schemas using xml data

Hi
I have a situation where I need to create
database schemas dynamically using <xml> data.
Any help in this regard will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Radheep

I'm not sure how to write a Web Service, however data can be read from a flat file using XML Data > Load, however the flat file has to be formatted with appropriate XML tags, such as...
<data>
<variable name="Test">
<row><column>1</column><column>2</column></row>
<row><column>10</column></row>
</variable>
</data>
In addition, you have to write a scriptlet that resides on a web server, with which Xcelsius can communicate. Once your data is formatted, it is as simple as referencing the file location in the XML Data URL: field.
Web Service is a very popular solution, and probably better than XML Data in this case due to the large volume of data. If you do a forum search for "Web Service" you'll find many threads regarding its usage.

How to create a report using XML data source from Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
Iu2019m having Crystal Report Designer XI R2 SP4. Iu2019m trying to create a report using XML data source stored on disk. This is a customer order report and the xml is structured in such a way that it has an order details header part (master) and then it has several order lines (detail). One order line can have several order line characteristics (detail-detail). So what I need to know is now I can design this layout from the designer. If this was done using views I can do it with sub-reports but using xml data this seems to be different. Can you help me to design this layout? I have included the xml and xsd as well.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Chanaka

Hi Sourashree,
Thank you for the response and ideas you have given me so far. I can get the fetch the data from the data source without any problem. That is I do the following,
1. New Report
2. From Create New Connection-> XML
3. Provide the u201CLocal XML Fileu201D and have u201CSpecify Schema Fileu201D checked -> Next
4. Provide the u201CLocal Schema Fileu201D -> Finish
Then I can see the following under XML
+ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
And from here if I add the following three I can get all the fields I need to the report
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
Then I come to the Linking section. Here I canu2019t link anything. There is a common field called u201CInternal_IDu201D but I canu2019t link using it. So I get a message when I click Next. From here I add all the fields.
For this point onwards only I need help. How do I group, add fields and design the layout so I can get an report output as follows.

Characteristic details belonging to Order line 5
How can I achieve this kind of a layout using the give xml and xsd? Should I use grouping if so how should I do the grouping?
I have included the full xml and xsd in the first mail I posted but I canu2019t see it now. I can include that again if you want.

Create jms queue xml data server

Hi,
What's the difference between jms queue and jms queue xml data servers and how to create jms queue xml data server.
Thanks.

Hello,
JMS messages can principally be processed by Oracle Data Integrator in two formats:
- JMS Messages: containers for rows of data, handled through JMS Queue/JMS Topic Technologies. With JMS Queue/JMS Topic technologies, each JMS destination is defined similarly to a flat file datastore. Each message in the destination is a record in the datastore.
- XML Messages: containers for XML files, handled through JMS XML Queue/JMS XML Topic Technologies. With JMS XML Queue/JMS XML Topic technologies, each messages payload contains a complete XML data structure. This structure is mapped into a relational schema (XML Schema) which appears as a model. This use the Oracle DI Driver for XML (see the driver documentation in Oracle DI documentation).
Find below a step by step creation process for such a destination:
1. Data Server
To create a JMS XML Queue data server, you declare a simple JNDI connection. The only JMS XML specific information is added to the URL. This information defines the XML file format.
The JNDI URL should be : <JMS_RESOURCE>?d=<DTD_FILE>&f=<XML_FILE>&s=<SCHEMA>&JMS_DESTINATION=<JMS_DESTINATION_NAME>
- JMS_RESOURCE: JNDI resource corresponding to your JMS queue that will contain the XML payload. You would specify this URL if you were managing normal JMS messages.
- DTD_FILE: path to a DTD file that describes the XML structure. Mandatory if the parameter XML_FILE is omitted.
- XML_FILE: path to the XML file with a structure similar to the expected XML messages. Mandatory if the DTD_FILE parameter is omitted.
- SCHEMA: schema name that will contain the XML structure. This value must match the one set for the physical schema attached to this data server. This parameter is mandatory.
- JMS_DESTINATION_NAME: name of the JMS queue or topic. This parameter is mandatory.
2. Schema
Creation is straightforward: In the Schema (Schema) and Schema (Work Schema), enter the name of the <SCHEMA> defined in the data server JNDI URL.
3. Model
Use standard reverse-engineering. As the Oracle DI Driver for XML is used the XML structure will be reversed as a relational structure.

Dynamically populating more than one field using xml data binding

Hi All, I have the following code that works fine to dynaically populate a second drop-down list2 from a choice in drop-down list1 using xml data biding. var tempString = "xfa.record." + this.boundItem(xfa.event.newText); var oItems = xfa.resolveNode(tempString); var nItemsLength = oItems.nodes.length; myinfo.page1.state.clearItems(); myinfo.page1.state.rawValue = null; for (var nItemCount = 0; nItemCount < nItemsLength; nItemCount++) { myinfo.page1.state.addItem(oItems.nodes.item(nItemCount).value); } Here is my xml file <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <myinfo> <country/> <countries> <item uiname="United States" token="US"/> <item uiname="South Africa" token="SA"/> <item uiname="Australia" token="AU"/> </countries> <state/> <AU> <item>Australian Capital Territory</item> <item>New South Wales</item> <item>Northern Territory</item> <item>Queensland</item> <item>South Australia</item> <item>Tasmania</item> <item>Victoria</item> <item>Western Australia</item> </AU> <US> <item>California</item> <item>New York</item> <item>Texas</item> <item>Michigan</item> <item>North Carolina</item> <item>South Carolina</item> </US> <SA> <item>Eastern Cape</item> <item>Free State</item> <item>Gauteng</item> <item>KwaZulu-Natal</item> <item>Limpopo</item> <item>Mpumalanga</item> <item>Northern Cape</item> <item>North-West</item> <item>Western Cape</item> </SA> </myinfo> I have two questions: 1) I want to be able to structure my xml in a way that I can populate a third drop-down list3 from a choice in list2. I need to know how to to include the different capital cities of the states in my xml data so that they can get populated in list3 from a selection in list2; 2) And be able to script the third list3 to get dynamically populated from a choice in list2. Thanks in advance for your help.

I would like to ask someone for help.
I have an XML file a result of the XSLT transformation. A schema was created based on this XML and this schema is bound to a form as a data source. When I preview my form using a Preview tab with transformed XML as a Data File in LiveCycle Designer 8.1, I can see only the first form data across 3 Text fields on the form. The rest of the forms are not getting displayed. What am I doing wrong?
Here is the part of the XML file Im trying to display on the form:
 FORM 1
 FORM 1 DESCRIPTION
 $5000
 FORM 2
 FORM 2 DESCRIPTION
 $7000
 FORM 3
 FORM 3 DESCRIPTION
 $4000
Part of the schema that was created based on the XML file from above:
Thank you.

SELECT statement using XML data taking way too long.

Hi all, I am using SQL Server 2005.
I have an issue which I find hard to describe. The server that I am using contains two test databases which are (supposed to be) identical. They both have tables named EVENTS with identical fields. I am using XML data to query and update data to this table.
When I run the SELECT in one database, against the EVENTS table it takes a long time. The longest I've kept it running is 2:30 minutes. When I run it against the EVENTS table in the other database the results are almost instantaneous. I've created a test
query to duplicate this behavior:
declare @ValidXMLInput xmlset @ValidXMLInput = '<EVENTS>
<EVENT EID="8077" EDATE="2014-07-20 10:15"
USERID="GTJ789" LOCID="7016" STATE="0" />
</EVENTS>'
SELECT Col.value('@EID','VARCHAR(5)'),Col.value('@STATE','INT')
FROM @ValidXMLInput.nodes('//EVENTS/EVENT') Tab(Col)
left join tblEvents on
tblEvents.EvIdNum=Col.value('@EID','VARCHAR(5)') And
tblEvents.EvDate=Col.value('@EDATE','DATETIME') And
tblEvents.UserId=Col.value('@USERID','VARCHAR(8)') And
tblEvents.EvLocId=Col.value('@LOCID','VARCHAR(8)')
where tblEvents.EvIdNum Is Null
Basically, the above query returns all rows in the XML table that are not in the database table. The results are then passed on to other statements.The columns in the join are key fields for tblEvents and have a PK index for both tables (in each db).
Now the issue that I am having. When I use an EID in the XML data of any other value (as presented in the example above), such as '3477' the query runs fast on both databases; however, when I specifically use an EID of '8077' then the query slows down to
a point where it takes more than 2:30 minutes (after which I cancel the execution). This only happens with one of the databases.
For testing purposes I've created an XML structure with only one item. Both tables have approximate 111 million records. One table contains about 900K records with an EID of 8077. The other table contains about 930K records with this EID. There aren't many
differences in the data. The records with the EID of 8077 (the slow one) are for different dates, users and locations. I should also mention that although the data presented here for EID consists of number, provisions exist where the number may be prefixed
by a letter; hence the varchar designation.
My question to you all is: How can I start troubleshooting this issue? Should I be looking at indexes?
I had some doubt about this because the query is fast for other EIDs. Why would it get "stuck" with this particular one?
Any troubleshooting advice is welcomed. Thanks! Saga
Insanity is the prelude to discovery

Some thoughts:
Is there a hardware difference between the two databases ? E.g. are they on the same disk (array) ?
Is there anything else running on your server besides your SQL instance ?
Do you see spikes in I/O, CPU or both ?
Maybe there is locking on one DB that's not happening in the other.
You should check indexes and statistics plus compare estimated execution plan between the two DBs.

How to get & use xml data with jstl libraries? (URGENT PLZ)

I am using jstl to get and use xml data
I needs to perform operations on the parsed xml document with other libraries of jstl. How can i do that.
I used Dom variable to parse my document as:
<x:parse varDom="test"> <c:import url="project.xml"/> </x:parse>
where my project.xml is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<project> <projectName>myProject</projectName> </project>
I can dislay this value in html by
<x:out select="$test/project/projectName"/>
But I need a string value sotred in variable such as <c:set var="pname" value="???">
HOW CAN I SET THIS VALUE IN CORE VARIABLE THAT IS, USING <c:set...> SO THAT IT CAN BE USED ANYWHERE IN JSP PAGE TO CONCATE RETURNED STRING IN OTHER STRING VARIABLES DEFINED BY CORE LIB?

I believe that <c:set> should do that but i am facing problem in it. Look into this jsp scriptlet:
1-<x:parse varDom="test"> <c:import url="project.xml"/> </x:parse>
2-<x:set var="ds" select="$test/project/projectName"/>
3-<x:out select="$ds"/> 
4-<c:set var="tt" value="${ds}" />
5-<c:out value="${tt}" />
In line 3 variable ds returns: myProject
In line 5 variable tt returns: [[projectName: null]]
perhaps on line 4 ds is storing some array to tt and i am not calling correct array element. I tried many options but still could not find solution. Plz Plz do something urgent for me. Thanks

Dynamically update swf file in sharepoint using xml data

Hi,
I need some help/enlightenment on how to auto-update the swf file in sharepoint using xml data.
I am encountering an error "Cannot access External Data" and pointing to adobe's Cross-domain policy file extension.
My questions is:
1. Where should the cross-domain file be copied? In the sharepoint webserver's root folder?
Right now, we generate the swf file from xcelsius and manually upload them in the sharepoint. However, we wish to automate the data content of this file.

GetFileByServerRelativeUrl.... since you're getting a FILE, you'll need a URL to a FILE (not just a library)... by SERVER relative URL, so you'll need to include the site collection path and such, not just the subsite relative URL.
Now working fine....

Creating rows Using BC4J Data Tags

Hi!
I want to create rows using BC4J data tags.
I have 2 jsp pages: one containig forms and one to insert data.
Is it possible to insert new rows into 2 or more tables?
How can I differ the attributes to one table and to another?
How can I do this?
Thanks!

The path is:
Select "File/New" in the menu.
Select "BC4J JSP" in the gallery.
Select "Browse & Edit Form" wizard.
This is in JDeveloper 9.0.2.

Interactive Report uses XML data saved in database for creating PDF files?

Hello all,
I installed Apache FOP to allow a PDF "Download" in the Interactive Reports.
Correct me if i'm wrong, when a PDF file is created with the Interactive Report option "Download", it uses a XML data to make it. Right ??
I would like know where in the database is this XML code located.
Regards Pedro.

After some searching i found that XML its stored as a BLOB and it is used as XML based report data and RTF or XSL-FO based report layout.
I didn't find yet where is located the XML used by Interactive Reports. If someone knows where in the APEX database is the XML located please share.
Regards Pedro.

File is corrupted error while creating excel using xml

Call to createxml with a schema url does not create schema based xml

Unfortunately I am unable to post the exact creates that I have done, but I am having a problem and none of my DBA's were able to help me.
Basically what I have done is, I had existing tables in our database that have legacy data in them. Our ultimate goal is to export information in xml format from the database.
The first thing I did was to create objects in oracle that wrapped the logic of these tables and filled the objects in based on on ID parameter. There are 3 separate levels of objects. One object that has tables of two other objects each of which has tables of objects themselves.
After the objects were created, I used a call to dbms_xmlschema.generateschema to generate the schema for these objects. After that I changed the schema so that the names of the elements in the schema were names that i wanted to be. I THOUGHT that this would map my oracle object names to new element names.
After the schema was generated and changed, I used a call to dbms_xmlschema.registerSchema with the following options:
local=>true, genTypes=>false, force=>false, GENTABLES=>false, genbean=>false
I tried it with gentables = true, but unfortunately i don't have access to create these tables and the dba's were not allowing me to because they aren't familiar with the xml capabilities and I couldn't explain why it was necessary. I'm not sure that it is.
Once the schema was registered, i made a call to xmltype.createxml
with a call to my object contstructor method as the first parameter, and the schema url that was registered in the database as the second parameter.
Now, here is my problem. The xmltype result that comes back from the query to createxml does not return the element tag names that i had written in the schema. The tag names are the same as the object names which are the same as it is if i didn't use the schema url at all. Does anyone know what I could possibly be doing wrong? Maybe I am misunderstanding the functionality of creating xml with an oracle xml annotated schema. Please help!

code tags and formatting are done with square brackets :-) Check out the Formatting Help on the message entry page
What does the URL resolve to when you view source on the JSP page?
Try it just "/ViewScores" rather than "/servlet/ViewScores"
Apart from that, it looks fine to me

Having difficulty creating pdf from XML data source

I have a 'rpt' file built with a classic install of Crystal 10, using xml as a data source. I have tried using both ADO.NET(XML) connection and ODBC CR ODBCXML Driver 4.20.
The rpt file was built on Windows2000 NT platform. The report runs, and displays data from the sample xml file in the preview tab.
I am attempting to feed xml data into the rpt file with the intent to create pdf formatted output. I am using java with the Crystaldecisions packages. I am running this app out of an Apache server on an Ubuntu VM Hardy Heron release. This does not have any version of Crystal Reports installed on it.
I have followed the examples and I am comfortable that I have the correct package imports, I am able to open the rpt file, and convert both the xml and xsd to byte arrays. When I issue the command
reportClientDocument.getDatabaseController().setDataSource(xmlDataSet, '', '')
I get the response
Cannot find corresponding table information in the XML file
Set data source failed: The table 'criminal_case' could not be found.
Request failed and JRC Command failed to be undone
JRCAgent1 detected an exception: The table 'criminal_case' could not be found.
at com.crystaldecisions.reports.reportdefinition.datainterface.g.a(Unknown Source)
The xsd does validate the xml which contains a noNamespaceSchemaLocation pointer to the xsd.
The xml is the same data that was used to design the report on the NT box. This means that I see the same elements being byte streamed as were used to create the rpt file.
Is this as simple as I am running my webserver on Linux? I do see the connection attribute properties reference a Database DLL that is clearly windows based. What can I do?

So why develop a report if there is no data? I can only think that you have a bunch of static text, maybe an instruction page you want to publish? If so, you still need a data source, it can be a dummy source
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROOT/>
ie no data per se. BIP needs a source even if there is not data to merge.

Fill in form using XML data source usable in Reader

I have a simple example of a scenario we need to solve. Different branches will fill out a form (designed in LiveCycle 8) and by entering their branch number static information will be filled in. I want to store the static infomation for all branches in an XML sheet that will be stored on a shared folder on the intranet.
The problem I have is getting the script to run in Reader. In preview in the Designer and using the import data function of Acrobat Pro it works fine. I think I am missing the script to import the data to work in Reader. I have not been able to find anything in the documentation to point me in the right direction. I have also had a case open with Adobe support for 2 months.
Any help would be appreciated.
Kris
Below is the script in the exit event of the Text field BranchNumber:
----- BranchInfo.#subform[0].BranchNumber::exit: - (FormCalc, client) ------------------------------
xfa.host.resetData("xfa.form.BranchInfo.#subform[0].Party_Code")
Party_Code.clearItems()
var BList = ref(record.Branches)
for j=0 upto (BList.nodes.length -1) do
xfa.resolveNode("BranchInfo.#subform[0].Ph") = BList.nodes.item(2).name
if (BList.nodes.item(j).BranchCode.value == $) then
xfa.resolveNode("BranchInfo.#subform[0].Full_Company_Address") = BList.nodes.item(j).Full_Address.value
var List = ref(BList.nodes.item(j).SPCS)
if (List.nodes.length == 1) then
xfa.resolveNode("BranchInfo.#subform[0].Party_Code") = BList.nodes.item(j).SPCS.SPC.value
elseif (List.nodes.length > 1) then
for i=0 upto List.nodes.length -1 do
BranchInfo.#subform[0].Party_Code.addItem(List.nodes.item(i).value,"")
endfor
endif
xfa.resolveNode("BranchInfo.#subform[0].Ph") = BList.nodes.item(j).PH.value
xfa.resolveNode("BranchInfo.#subform[0].Fax") = BList.nodes.item(j).FAX.value
xfa.resolveNode("BranchInfo.#subform[0].Member") = BList.nodes.item(j).Member.value
break
endif
endfor
Below is the xml data file for this test:
<BranchInfo>

Hi Jeroen,
to have a user fill in, you first need to create a Web Dynpro application providing the offline form, e.g. through a download - tutorial at http://sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloaditem?rid=/library/uuid/2dd3dbcd-0401-0010-55b8-b10808ff688e - or an e-mail - tutorial at http://sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloaditem?rid=/library/uuid/b040e6cd-0401-0010-268d-f67cf4904358
On the return trip, the user-entered data is stored in the SAP backend via the Web Dynpro context. (You do not store the raw XML, the data is back-converted by ADS to Java.)
In the fourth step, you will have to provide a Web Dynpro
application with an online form, which can be part of the same project, but basically generates the form again for completion.
If you want to use the same form that was submitted, you have to have your app store the submitted PDF (do not submit only the XML) in the backend (through the WD context), and then call that one up in the online scenario.
Cheers,
Markus

How to use XML data stored in table column in XML Data Definition

Hi,
We are using BIP 5.6.3 (Oracle EBS R12).
We have a table which stores XML data in a column. Is there a way we can use this XML data through a SQL query in XML Data Definition of BI Publisher report instead or writing whole SQL query to fetch same data from Oracle EBS?
Can some please provide a sample SQL query that we should use in Data Definition?
Thanks!

Mark,
Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for.
After doing @Name in both places (SELECT and WHERE clause) it worked.
Now I have one more question.
There are multiple DIMENSION tags in my xml, and I want to see the NAME attribute values for all of those DIMENSIONs. The following query returns
ORA-19025: EXTRACTVALUE returns value of only one node.
Cause: Given XPath points to more than one node.
Action: Rewrite the query so that exactly one node is returned.
SELECT
extractValue(value(x), '/AW/@Name') as "AW",
extractValue(value(x), '/AW/Dimension/@Name') as "DIMENSIONS"
from
OLAP_AW_PRC,
table(xmlsequence(extract (xmltype(AW_XML_TMPL_VAL), '/AWXML/AWXML.content/Create/ActiveObject/AW'))) x
where
extractValue(value(x) , '/AW/@Name') = 'OMCR4'

Connecting to ADO Data Services using XML Data

Has anyone attempted to connect to a database using ADO Data Services? My understanding of ADO Data Services is that it allows querying of the database in a REST format. So if I publish a site, I can get to its data with a URL like this:
http://mysite/myservice.svc/entity where entity is a defined entity like Product, or supplier. Going to this site returns data that I have included at the end of this post, with the Entry node repeating (I only included the first Entry node). I definitely cannot use Web Service as my connection method, because there is no WSDL, but I was thinking maybe I could use XML. However, I have read the help file and several forum posts and I can't seem to figure out how to make XML work.

Hi lilutchay,
If the SQL Server Integration Services is Enterprise or Developer edition of SQL Server 2008, we can use
Microsoft Connector Version 1.2 for Oracle to connect Oracle databases with version Oracle 9.2.0.4 or higher, Oracle 10.x or Oracle 11.x. If the SQL Server Integration Services is Enterprise or Developer edition of SQL Server 2012, we can use
Microsoft Connector Version 2.0 for Oracle to connect Oracle databases with version Oracle 9.2.0.4 or higher, Oracle 10.x or Oracle 11.x.
While if we want to connect to other Oracle version databases, we can use
OLE DB provider for Oracle which has been tested in SSIS labs and is recommended by Microsoft.
For the detail steps for Microsoft Connector for Oracle, we can refer to the first blog suggested by Deric. For more details about the use of connecting to oracle using Oracle Provider for OLEDB from SSIS, please refer to the blog below:
