Creating xml schema from database attributes

Hi,
I am trying to generate dynamic xml schemas from a java program.
Please suggest me some solutions.
The scenario is like this.
The input to the java program is a table[oracle] name
and based on that table's column headers, i need to define and
create the xml schema dynamically.
The purpose is that at a later point of time, i may
need to copy the content of the database to xml files.
Please reply with your suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
Dilip

XML Schema itself is a well formed XML document. You can write a small utility class which can do this for you by using any XML API available in Java.
Thanks,

XML shema is basically an XML file. So u need to know how to create an XML,

Creating XML Schema from tables With Constraints

Greetings,
I'd have an interesting question. I finally am getting familiar with the various kinds of xml solutions provided by the oracle database, but hey here I have another interesting question I can't seem to get into life. I'm currently generating XML Schemas (XSD) from the tables of my database. Its nice its cool however I'd need to have the table's constraints with the xsd:elements also. And heres my problem, I can't seem to insert the table constrains. I'll show you what I mean:
<xsd:element name="MESSAGE_TABLE">
<xsd:complexType>
    <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element name="MESSAGE_RECORD">
        <xsd:complexType>
          <xsd:all>
            <xsd:element name="ID" type="xsd:integer" minOccurs="1" />
            <xsd:element name="HEADER">
              <xsd:simpleType>
                <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string>
                  <xsd:maxLength value="255" />
                </xsd:restriction>
              </xsd:simpleType>
            </xsd:element>
          </xsd:all>
        </xsd:complexType>
      </xsd:element>
    </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>


<xsd:key name="PK_ID_PRIM">
    <xsd:selector xpath="." />
    <xsd:field xpath="ID" />
</xsd:key>

<xsd:keyref name="FK_HEADER_FOREIGN" refer="PK_HEADER_ID">
    <xsd:selector xpath="HEADER" />
    <xsd:field xpath="ID" />
</xsd:keyref>

<xsd:unique name="UQ_..." ... />
</xsd:unique>
</xsd:element>That would fit my business needs, however I may be so blind that I can't see the forest from the tree. Currently I got so far that:
          xmlElement
              "xsd:schema",
              xmlAttributes
                  'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'      as "xmlns:xsd"
              xmlElement
                "xsd:element",
                xmlAttributes
                  target_table                            as "name"
                xmlElement
                  "xsd:complexType",
                  xmlElement
                    "xsd:sequence",
                    xmlElement
                      "xsd:element",
                      xmlAttributes
                        target_table || '_RECORD'         as "name",
                        'unbounded'                       as "maxOccurs"
                      xmlElement
                        "xsd:complexType",
                        xmlElement
                          "xsd:sequence",
                            xmlAgg(ELEMENT)
                xmlElement
                  "xsd:Key",
            )As you can see this won't be good since I have put a single xml element in there. I guess I'd need something more like an xmlAgg(CONSTRAINTS), however in that case I'm wondering how will the select's FROM part look like.

Thanks for that, answer. That helped me a lot managing primary constraints. However I still have problems managing foreign keys. I come up with the following formula:

Create XML file from ABAP with SOAP Details

Hi,
I am new to XML and I am not familiar with JAVA or Web Service. I have searched in SDN and googled for a sample program for creating XML document from ABAP with SOAP details. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything.
I have a requirement for creating an XML file from ABAP with SOAP details. I have the data in the internal table. There is a Schema which the client provided and the file generated from SAP should be validating against that Schema. Schema contains SOAP details like Envelope, Header & Body.
My question is can I generate the XML file using CALL TRANSFORMATION in SAP with the SOAP details?
I have tried to create Transformation (Transaction XSLT_TOOL) in SAP with below code. Also in CALL transformation I am not able to change the encoding to UTF-8. It's always show UTF-16.
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
    <SOAP:Envelope xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
      <SOAP:Header>
        <CUNS:HeaderInfo>
          <CUNS:InterfaceTypeId>10006</InterfaceTypeId>
          <CUNS:BusinessPartnerID>11223344</BusinessPartnerID>
          <CUNS:SchemaVersion>1.0</SchemaVersion>
          <CUNS:DateTime>sy-datum</DateTime>
        </CUNS:HeaderInfo>
      </SOAP:Header>
      <SOAP:Body>
        <xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
      </SOAP:Body>
    </SOAP:Envelope>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
In ABAP program, I have written below code for calling above Transformation.
call transformation ('Z_ID')
       source tab = im_t_output[]
       result xml xml_out.
call function 'SCMS_STRING_TO_FTEXT'
    exporting
      text      = xml_out
    tables
      ftext_tab = ex_t_xml_data.
Please help me how to generate XML file with SOAP details from ABAP. If anybody have a sample program, please share with me.
Is there any easy way to create the XML file in CALL Transformation. Please help.
Thanks

Try ABAP forum, as it seems not to be PI related.

Error while retreiving xml file from database

Hi-
I am trying to configure Planning and getting the following error message at instance configuration step:

We looked at PlanningSystemDB.properties, changes server name to its ip, reinstalled planning, made sure both auth methods are selected (sql server and windows), created new relational repository.. still the same error.

After spending 2+ hrs with Hyperion Support nothing got resolved.. Just to give more background on this problem, we originally reconfigured all Hyperion components to use different SQL server, that is when the problem started happening as soon as we got to Planning Instance Configuration. Could this be the situations when old server name is still somewhere in the system?.. Could this be Shared Services problem.
Here is another quote from SharedServices_Security.log

"Error retrieving xml file from database"

Hello All,
I have installed and configured planning with Shared services. While I try to create an instance in Configuration Utility by entering the Instance Name, Host Name, Port (8300) and Click "Next", I get this error -
*"System failure:Error retrieving xml file from database".*
My RDBMS is - SQL Server 2005
OS - Windows 2003 Server
I am unable to work on planning for few months due to this error.. I would sincerely appreciate if someone can provide me a solution for this..
Thanks much,
Varma.

Hi,
Ive seen this before.
If this is a new environment could you create a blank database and configure it as your System database? Then try again and you should be fine.
I think you may have some invalid entries in your sys database.

How to create Default Schema from within the application

Hi friends
I am creating users using the following within my application using this syntax
BEGIN
APEX_UTIL.CREATE_USER
(:P124_USER_ID, :P124_USER_NAME,:P124_USER_FIRST_NAME,:P124_USER_LAST_NAME,' ',:P124_USER_EMAIL_ID,'xxxx');
END;
The default workspace for the user is set as blanks. I would like to set it to be the default workspace as per the current logged in user.
Can you help me with the syntax for this
thank you in advance
Laxmi

Laxmi,
The subject of the post is "How to create Default Schema from within the application".
But your question asks how to set the "default workspace" for a newly created user.
Those are different questions and not the ones I think you need answered.
Let me answer this question "How can you set the default schema for an account when creating the account and set it to the same value used for the default schema attribute of the administrator account used to authenticate to the currently running application?".
In the apex_util.create_user call use named parameter notation and fetch the information about the currently logged-in user first, e.g.,declare
l_workspace               varchar2(256);
l_user_name               varchar2(256);
l_first_name              varchar2(256);
l_last_name               varchar2(256);
l_web_password            varchar2(256);
l_email_address           varchar2(256);
l_start_date              varchar2(256);
l_end_date                varchar2(256);
l_employee_id             varchar2(256);
l_allow_access_to_schemas varchar2(256);
l_person_type             varchar2(256);
l_default_schema          varchar2(256);
l_groups                  varchar2(256);
l_developer_role          varchar2(256);
l_description             varchar2(256);
begin
apex_util.fetch_user (
p_user_id                  => apex_util.get_current_user_id,
p_workspace                => l_workspace,
p_user_name                => l_user_name,
p_first_name               => l_first_name,
p_last_name                => l_last_name,
p_web_password             => l_web_password,
p_email_address            => l_email_address,
p_start_date               => l_start_date,
p_end_date                 => l_end_date,
p_employee_id              => l_employee_id,
p_allow_access_to_schemas => l_allow_access_to_schemas,
p_person_type              => l_person_type,
p_default_schema           => l_default_schema,
p_groups                   => l_groups,
p_developer_role           => l_developer_role,
p_description              => l_description);
apex_util.create_user(
p_user_id        => :P124_USER_ID,
p_user_name      => :P124_USER_NAME,
p_first_name     => :P124_USER_FIRST_NAME,
p_last_name      => :P124_USER_LAST_NAME,
p_email_address => :P124_USER_EMAIL_ID,
p_web_password   => 'xxxx',
p_default_schema => l_default_schema);
end;Scott

Heap space error while creating XML document from Resultset

I am getting Heap space error while creating XML document from Resultset.
It was working fine from small result set object but when the size of resultset was more than 25,000, heap space error
I am already using -Xms32m -Xmx1024m
Is there a way to directly write to xml file from resultset instead of creating the whole document first and then writing it to file? Code examples please?
here is my code:
stmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
result = stmt.executeQuery();
result.setFetchSize(999);
Document doc = JDBCUtil.toDocument(result, Application.BANK_ID, interfaceType, Application.VERSION);
JDBCUtil.write(doc, fileName);
public static Document toDocument(ResultSet rs, String bankId, String interfaceFileType, String version)
    throws ParserConfigurationException, SQLException {
        DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
        Document doc = builder.newDocument();
        Element results = doc.createElement("sims");
        results.setAttribute("bank", bankId);
        results.setAttribute("record_type", "HEADER");
        results.setAttribute("file_type", interfaceFileType);
        results.setAttribute("version", version);
        doc.appendChild(results);
        ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
        int colCount = rsmd.getColumnCount();
        String columnName="";
        Object value;
        while (rs.next()) {
            Element row = doc.createElement("rec");
            results.appendChild(row);
            for (int i = 1; i <= colCount; i++) {
                columnName = rsmd.getColumnLabel(i);
                value = rs.getObject(i);
                Element node = doc.createElement(columnName);
                if(value != null)
                    node.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(value.toString()));
                else
                    node.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(""));
                row.appendChild(node);
        return doc;
public static void write(Document document, String filename) {
        //long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
        // lets write to a file
        OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(document); // Serialize DOM
        format.setIndent(2);
        format.setLineSeparator(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
        format.setLineWidth(80);
        try {
            FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(filename);
            BufferedWriter buf = new BufferedWriter(writer);
            XMLSerializer FileSerial = new XMLSerializer(writer, format);
            FileSerial.asDOMSerializer(); // As a DOM Serializer
            FileSerial.serialize(document);
            writer.close();
        } catch (IOException ioe) {
            ioe.printStackTrace();
        //long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
        //System.err.println("W3C File write time :" + (end - start) + " " + filename);
    }

you can increase your heap size..... try setting this as your environment variable.....
variable: JAVA_OPTS
value: -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m

Create a schema from web service in eclipse

Hi all,
I'm trying to export some data out of SF to an 3rd party via a web service. In the webUI I have the possibility(Attachment 1) to create a schema from web service so my outgoing file matches the requirements. In Eclipse I cannot find that option and I'm encoutering some errors (attachement 2).
Can anyone tell me if there is a possibility like the web UI in eclipse?
Thanks in advance.

Are there any standard methods in Java 1.5 to create XML file from java bean,

��//Initilize the Factory Classes
��dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
��db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
��doc = db.newDocument();
��//Assign the root elements to document
��rootElement = doc.createElement("entity");
colData = getColMetaData(tableName);
��rootElement.appendChild(colData);
��doc.appendChild(rootElement);
��TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();

Connection con = db.createConnection();
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
String sQuery = "select * from " +tableName;
rslt = stmt.executeQuery(sQuery);
rsmd = rslt.getMetaData();
iColumnCount = rsmd.getColumnCount();
Element currentElement = doc.createElement("field");
for (int i = 1; i <= iColumnCount; i++)
currentElement.setAttribute("FieldName",rsmd.getColumnName(i));
currentElement.setAttribute("Position", parseString(i));
rootElement.appendChild(currentElement);
return currentElement;
catch(Exception ee){
logger.info(ee.getMessage());
return null;
/* End of Method*/
Here when I printing the document it is giving out put like :
<entity >
<field FieldName="X_ID" Position="1"/>
</entity>
The is displaying only one field information even though table contains more then one column.If we maintain all the aboue code in single method it is working fine.I want to decouple the like above.Bcz I may have more then one set of elements like this.
