Creating XML from raw data

I am trying to create xml from raw data. It works well in the format builder but
when I instanciate the MFLObject and run convert to xml, the output only contains
wrappers for my first field described in the mfl. Are there any known issues
using this progmattic conversion to XML.
My mfl is the following:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE MessageFormat SYSTEM 'mfl.dtd'>

<MessageFormat name='BossRecord' version='2.01'>
<FieldFormat name='Header' type='String' length='102' codepage='windows-1252'/>
<StructFormat name='TransactionControlRecord' delim='999'>
<FieldFormat name='TransactionTypeNumber' type='String' length='3' codepage='windows-1252'/>
<FieldFormat name='TransactionData' type='String' codepage='windows-1252'>
<LenField type='Numeric' length='4'/>
</FieldFormat>
</StructFormat>
<StructFormat name='Generic' repeat='*'>
<FieldFormat name='GenericTypeNumber' type='String' length='3' codepage='windows-1252'/>
<FieldFormat name='GenericData' type='String' codepage='windows-1252'>
<LenField type='Numeric' length='4'/>
</FieldFormat>
</StructFormat>
<FieldFormat name='IgnoreTheRest' type='Filler' optional='y' length='1' repeat='*'>

</FieldFormat>
</MessageFormat>
Are there any issues with this that are easy to spot?
Here is some sample output:

Okay, I've got some coding off a site that looks like it will do what I want. It's quite a robust applications which will do more than I need but as long as it does at least what I want, i could care less. As it will extract files from the datastream for me, it is going to save them to disk.
I believe I have to specify a directory to save it to. I believe this is the line I'm going to modify, so assuming that's the case, how do I specify a directory here:
private File fileOutPutDirectory = null;
Do I have to use absolute paths or can I use relative. Also, what directory construct is expected by java? Anyone with an example of what urls are supposed to look like in this case?

Grabbing xml from raw data post to my webserver

Trying to figure out how to catch xml being posted to my webserver. The client's instructions are:
The HTTP and HTTPS delivery method performs a text/plain mime binary data post to the supplier's webserver. Suppliers must develop a catch web page. This page will receive the binary post.
This is an xml document that I must capture and write to disk. I'm intending to use a java servlet to grab this data but java is new to me. It looks like HttpServletRequest is what I'm looking for. Anyone with any pointers?

Use 1 stylesheet to translate 2 xml documents(raw data)into one result xml

I have one java application which can generate two xml documents (raw data), now i want to have one result xml which contains contents of these two xml documents(raw data) by using one stylesheet. is it possible?
how to match template in the stylesheet?
how to let the stylesheet know that it should read second raw xml?

Yes it is possible.
You didn't say whether you want to do this by invoking the transformation from a Java program, or with a stand-alone transformer, and which one.
I've done an application where I had a main XML file and a secondary XML file. I invoked the transformation from Java, and passed a parameter to the stylesteet. It winds up looking like a variable ($parm for example).
Here is the declaration of the param in the stylesheet.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:param name="list" />Next, I use the document function to read the file and produce a result tree (like a DOM object, in a sense).
<xsl:variable name="phonemes"
select="document($list)" />Then, you can use code like the following to look for content in the secondary file:
<xsl:if test="$phonemes/phonemes/allsounds[phoneme=$sound]" >This was complex, but it works.
Another approach would be to have a small XML file with the names of the
two XML files you want to process. You could do a for-each to process each of the tags in this little file, use the document function to read in the file and copy th eoutput to where you need it.
So, in that case, you would be processsing 3 files rather than 2. If you are invoking from Java, the third file could be coded in a String rather than having to physically write it out.
You've got a few ideas to consider.

How to view AR dunning letter XML file (raw data)?

Hi,
Can anybody tell how to view AR dunning letter XML file (raw data) as I like to modified the dunning letter and like to know which fields I can add to our dunning letter layout. thanks.

Hi
These are the steps you need to do to get the output in XML Raw format.
Step 1
1- Go to System Administrator -> Concurrent -> Program - Define
2- Query the Dunning Letter Print
3- Set the format output as XML
Step 2
1- Ftp Oracle E-business suite Server
2- Get the file ARDLP.rdf from $AR_TOP/reports
3- Open the report using Oracle Reports
4- Change the output to XML.
ARDLP.rdf is a report provided by Oracle Corporation so it is a good idea to make a backup of the same,
before making any changes. Hope this will help.

Not able to create XML from an existing relational database

Hi,
I am trying to create and xml from an existing relational database. I am not able to get any XML data, I receive "XMLTYPE()" as the result.
Here's the query -
SQL> select o.order_id, XMLELEMENT("order", XMLATTRIBUTES(o.order_id as ID)) AS "result" from order_
info o where order_id=2793;
ORDER_ID
result()
+2793+
XMLTYPE()
I was expecting to get +<order id=2793 />+ instead of XMLTYPE().
I am using -
SQLPlus: Release 9.0.1.0.1*
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
I have also run some checks to confirm XML DB installation -
SQL> select 1 from all_users where username = 'XDB';
+1+
+1+
SQL> desc RESOURCE_VIEW;
Name                                      Null?    Type
RES                                                SYS.XMLTYPE

RESID                                              RAW(16)
I think, I have something wrong with installation or configuration.
Any idea about what have I done wrong here?

Works fine now. Got the result "<order ID="2793"></order>".
Thanks. :-)

Create XML from XSD

Hi,
Is it possible to create and populate XML from an XSD without knowing what the XSD elements are beforehand (all the examples appear to know what the input XSD will be, and therefore know what the set and get methods should be called)?
Can a user browse for an xsd to input, and the java will dynamically create the get methods, and be able to create instances and populate variables before converting to XML?
I have looked at JAXB and the purchase.order examples mainly, and it appears the input XSD was known before writing the java to populate the variables.
Thanks
John

Hi,
Is it possible to create and populate XML from an XSD
without knowing what the XSD elements are beforehand
(all the examples appear to know what the input XSD
will be, and therefore know what the set and get
methods should be called)? I think it is possible--you would have to recompile each time (unless you can dynamically recompile, which would be neat), but using the classes getMethod() function, you can list all the methods. You would then have to do some tricky logic to determine which of the getMethods you want (for example NOT getClass()), and you can basically call them in sequence. You also need to worry about handling lists & recursively call xxxType classes.
I'm experimenting with this, and it can get a little frustrating because there are a lot of odd cases to handle (for example, while setting the elements of a list, you need to actually get the list & add elements to it), but I think it's possible.
>

What I'm puzzled about is where you'd get the data to populate the variables? Perhaps a database, or a bean? If you just want to make a test xml file, then it doesn't matter, but with real data, I think you'd still have to change how you actually get the variables you want to populate the xml file with, right? In other words, if your schema changed, the parameters you're passing to the set methods would change as well.
Maybe we'll see some more packages in the future to make this task easier.

Building XML from relational data

I need to create XML documents from relational data that conforms to an XML schema document. We need to store and query the XML documents we create.
Therefore, we have decided to store the XML using the object model rather than as a CLOB
i.e. register the schema with the XML DB which in turn creates the tables and object types that represent the schema.
What is the best way build the XML document from the relational data ??
Can I pass the relational data to the default constructors of the object types created by the schema registration ?? (and then create an XML document from the top level object instance using SYS_XMLGEN)
Or should I build the xml from strings using XMLELEMENT,XMLFOREST built-in's when retrieving the data from the relational tables ?? OR use the XMLDOM package to build the document ??
Would appreciate any advice on the best approach.

There are basically two ways to join your document fragments with SQLX:
1/. With xmlForest
e.g. SELECT XMLELEMENT ( "Emp",XMLForest(e.employee_id, e.lname, e.salary)) AS "result"
FROM employees e WHERE employee_id > 1500 ;
result
<Emp>
< employee_id >1769</ employee_id >
< lname >Smith</ lname >
< salary >200000</ salary >
</Emp>
2/. With nested invocations of xmlElement
e.g. SELECT XMLELEMENT("Emp", XMLELEMENT("name", e.fname ||' '|| e.lname),
XMLELEMENT ( "hiredate", e.hire)) AS "result"
FROM employees e WHERE employee_id > 200 ;
result
<Emp>
<name>John Smith</name>
<hiredate>2000-05-24</hiredate>
</Emp>
<Emp>
<name>Mary Martin</name>
<hiredate>1996-02-01</hiredate>
</Emp>

Creating XML from query result (how?)

Hi,
It's a very general question. That is the simplest way to create XML containing data returned by a query?
I've got 3 tables: 2 primary and a linked table. One of the primary tables contains a CLOB column. I need to export the tables to a XML file. That is the simplest way to do that? (There is many XML-related functions in Oracle XML DB and I don't know which may be good.)
Thanks in advance,
JackK

Creating XML from large result sets

We are trying to create XML docs from queries that return somewhere in the neighborhood of 13000+ rows, each with as many as 30 columns. It seems someplace deep within the xmlgen utility or the xsu methods, we throw an OutOfMemoryError. This happens whether we run as a java stored procedure, a pl/sql stored procedure, pl/sql script or java servlet. It looks like the top of the stack shows the problem occurs trying to extendCapacity in a StringBuffer. We're running 8.1.6 with java 1.2.2 and xsu 1.2. Has anyone had to query large amounts of data like this and if so, how did you go about it? Is there a slick way to break things up and then string everything back into 1 big xml doc? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I guess you can use pagination,
either using xsu or Top N Queries and then you could merge all the pages in an unique XML or DOM tree prior to persist it to disk.
With XSU:

Creating XML from XSD, Only create The First Element

Creating XML from Oracle Tables

Would it be possible to post me a snapshot of the ODI Flow diagram for an Oracle to XML conversion? Does the staging area have to be on the Target (XML)? What KMs & CM should be used? Can the XML be written straight back to an .xml file? What should the XML Schema look like?
These are the KMs I use: LKM-SQL to SQL; IKM-SQL Incremental Update; CKM-SQL.
My flow is straight from source (oracle) to target (xml), with staging area on target (doesn't feel right).
My Oracle Dataserver & Schema work fine. Not sure about the XML dataserver setup though - I think this is where the problem lies. These are my JDBC settings:
- com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.xml.SnpsXmlDriver
- jdbc:snps:xml?f=E:\Oracle ODI\Member.xsd
I am evaluating ODI for a client and I wanted to throw together a quick demo showing how easily ODI can generate XML from any source. I know this is the case as I understand the concept of ODI's components - just haven't had time to read manuals thoroughly.
Many thanks for your help,
Steve

Hello,
1. Try to test the connection to the XML dataserver.
2. Create a model and reverse-engineer this dataserver. You'll see what the XML structure is mapped to immediately.
3. Integrate data to this model (using standard KM targeting "SQL").
You can put the staging area on the Oracle source or in the XML driver if you want. Both solutions will work.
just haven't had time to read manuals thoroughly.I think you should quickly read the "Sunopsis ODI with... XML" section in the manual.
It is not very long and very helpful. Have also a quick look at the XML driver documentation.

Create Tree from Preordered data

Here is a quick summary of what I'm trying to do:
I have a file with formatted like this
Does it have legs?
Dog
Fish
and the resulting tree for it should look like this
     Does it have legs?
     Dog        Fishand I'm trying to write a function that takes in a Scanner object that should already be tied to the data file and create a tree from this data that is already listed in Preorder fashion. I know tha recurison is probably the best way to go about this but everything that I have written hasn't worked. Also, I cant really figure out a way to use recursion when the function is taking in a Scanner I dont know how it would work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is what I have now:
     public BinaryTree<String> readTree(Scanner data)
          BinaryTree<String> temp = new BinaryTree<String>();
          temp.attachLeft(data.next());
          temp.attachRight(data.next());
          return temp;
     }I know this function wont go through the whoel file, but I've tried many loops but I cant figure out how to get it to work so I'm convinced that I need to figure out how to make it recursive
(yes I know that everything that can be done through recursion can be done with a loop)

@OP:
Here's how you could do it:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Stack;
class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException {
        Scanner file = new Scanner(new File("data.txt"));
        BinTree tree = new BinTree(file);
        System.out.println(tree);
class BinTree {
    private BinNode root;
    public BinTree(Scanner file) {
        // create the root (first line in the file)
        root = new BinNode(file.nextLine());
        // create a stack
        Stack<BinNode> stack = new Stack<BinNode>();
        // push the root on the stack: we need it to add nodes to the left and right of it
        stack.push(root);
        // call the insert method to build the tree
        insert(stack, file);
    private void insert(Stack<BinNode> stack, Scanner file) {
        IF 'file' has no more lines left
            stop this method
        END IF
        BinNode 'next' <- the next line in 'file'
        IF the left node of the last node on the 'stack' equals null
            the left child of last node of the stack <- 'next' (but leave the stack in tact)
        ESLE
            the right child of last node of the stack <- 'next' (remove the last node of the stack)
        END IF
        IF 'next' is a question
            push 'next' on the stack
        END IF
        recursively call the insert(...) method here

    BinNode right, left;
    public BinNode(String data) { this.data = data; }

Create Report from HFM Data Grid

Hi All,
I need to create a report out of the Data Grid created in HFM and then publish that as a PDF. I found the Reporting feature in Manage Documents that uses system reports.
And if I want a report from a data grid the Data Explorer option has to be selected for Report Type.But in this case I guess I need to create a Report Definition File and then upload it which seems to be complex.
But am not able to figure out how I can directly take a HFM Data Grid as the source and generate a PDF Report out of it.
Can this be done using BI Publisher? If so can anyone please provide the steps?
Or, can it be done using the Financial Reporting Studio ?
I sincerely appreciate any help!
Thanks in advance!

from mgmt$ha_backup b, mgmt$target t
where b.target_guid = t.target_guid
order by type_qualifier1, end_time;
