Different xml data sources possible?
Ok, after searching the forum and google a lot, i figured out, that i can specify a data file in the formproperties. When i create some sample data, i get the structure the data has to look like (does it always have to look like these, or is it possible to change these things?).
But, what i'm still tryin' to figure out:
Is there a way, to get data for special items(textfields, tables, dropdownlists, ... ) from other sources, that i (perhaps) parse or read in an initialize event of of the items? I read a lot about a javascript DOMParser and the dataObject, but before i start try'n'error-coding these, i'd like to know if its worth the time?
Or is there any other way, i'm able to read any xml data (from a file) from within an event?
any help appreciated
today i tried the:
xfa.host.importData("./data.xml", false);
i get a "general exception" at this point, which tells me that the number of arguments is wrong. If i leave out the second argument (the "false" one), i get a "NotAllowedError" exception, which tells me that security preferences deny my attempt to use that function. Where can i configure this or what am i doing wrong?
(because this one is developing away from my original problem, i opened another thread ( http://forums.adobe.com/thread/514822 ) which describes my original issue more in detail)

I followed a procedure described in a book.
1. insert "Inventory.xml" file to a project "WpfXmlDataBinding" .
2. add the XML data source through the data panel of "blend for 2013", named it "InventoryXmlDataStore" and store it in the current document.
3. dragged and droppped the nodes from the Data panel onto the artboard.
Then I checked my Xaml file against the one provided by the book
Xaml file by the book:
<Window.Resources>
<!-- This part is missing in my xaml file --><XmlDataProvider x:Key="InventoryDataSource"
Source="\Inventory.xml"
d:IsDataSource="True"/>
<!-- This part is missing in my xaml file -->
<DataTemplate x:Key="ProductTemplate">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=@ProductID}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Cost}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Description}"/>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding XPath=HotItem}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Name}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<ListBox HorizontalAlignment="Left"
ItemTemplate="{DynamicResource ProductTemplate}"
ItemsSource="{Binding XPath=/Inventory/Product}"
Margin="89,65,0,77" Width="200"/>
</Grid>
my Xaml file:
<Window x:Class="WpfXmlDataBinding.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="922" Width="874">
<Window.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="ProductTemplate">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=@ProductID}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Cost}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Description}"/>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding XPath=HotItem}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Name}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid DataContext="{Binding Source={StaticResource InventoryXmlDataStore}}">
<ListBox HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="370"
ItemTemplate="{DynamicResource ProductTemplate}"
ItemsSource="{Binding XPath=/Inventory/Product}"
Margin="65,55,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="270"/>
</Grid>
</Window>
All looks quite the same except the <XmlDataProvider ....> part under <Window.Resources>, which is gone completely in my Xaml file.
1, Why?
2, How many different ways to deal with xml data source through WPF?
Thanks, guys.
(ps My "WpfXmlDataBinding" runs without problem through.)Never do yourself down Richard.
Leave that to other people.
It's quite common for smart developers to think they're not as good as they are.
I coach a fair bit and it's a surprisingly common feeling.
And to repeat.
Never use anything ends .. provider. They're for trivial demo apps. Transform xml into objects and use them. Write it back as xml. Preferably, use a database.
You want to read a little mvvm theory first.

Whatever you do, don't read Josh Smiths explanation. I used to recommend it but it confuses the heck out newbies. Leave that until later.
Laurent Bugnion did a great presentation at mix10. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be working on the MS site, but I have a copy. Download and watch:

I'm writing an article at the moment which is aimed at beginners.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/30564.wpf-uneventful-mvvm.aspx
The sample is just a collection of techniques really.
I have a sample which involves no real data but is intended to illustrate some aspects of how viewmodels "do stuff" and how you use datatemplates to generate UI.
I can't remember if I recommended it previously to you:
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/WPF-Dialler-simulator-d782db17
And I have working samples which are aimed at illustrating line of business architecture. This is an incomplete step by step series but I think more than enough to chew on once you've done the previous stuff.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/28209.wpf-entity-framework-mvvm-walk-through-1.aspx
The write up for step2 is work in progress.

Using a SQL data source and XML data source in the same template
I am trying to develop a template for the Request for Quote report generated in Apps 11.5.10. I have loaded the data from the XML output into the template, but I am missing one field - I need the org_id from the po_headers table. Is it possible to use a sql data source (i.e., "select org_id from po_headers_all where po_header_id = [insert header_id from xml data]...") in addition to the xml data source to populate the template at runtime? When you use the Insert > SQL functionality is it static at the time the template is created, or does it call to the database at runtime? I've looked through all the docs I could find, but this isn't clear.
Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have.
RhondaHi Pablo
Thats a tough one ... if you go custom with a data template you will at least get support on the data template functionality ie you have a problem when you try and build one. You will not get support on the query inside the data template as you might have gotten with the Oracle Report, well you could at least log a bug against development for a bad query.
Eventually that Oracle Report will be converted by development anyway, theres an R12 project going on right now to switch the shipped OReports to data templates. AT this point you'll be fully supported again but:
1. You have to have R12 and
2. You'll need to wait for the patch
On reflection, if you are confident enough in the query then Oracle will support you on its implementation within a data template. Going forward you may be able to swap out your DT and out in the Oracle one without too much effort.

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

</xs:schema>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.

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.

BI Admin Tool and XSLT transformation for XML data source - How it works ?
Hello,
There is a possibility to import data from XML data source using BI Admin Tool.
In the import window we can point XSLT file. What is the purpose of that XSLT field?
Why I am asking ?
I thought it is smth like XSLT processor, but simply it doesnt work.
What I did:
- I pointed XML data source file
- I pointed XSLT transformation file
- Click OK, and still get the message that the XML file structure is not supported
After that I transformed that XML file with some desktop XSLT processor using the same XSLT file, and I tried to connect that file directly using BI Admin tool.Then it works. So it means that the transformation is ok.
So basically one question comes to my mind in that situation:
What is the purpose of XSLT field in BI Admin Tool when it comes to XML data source ?
(it doesnt look like XSLT processor)
Greetings
/MichalHi Mariano
Why you need to use XSLT for transforming XML file into ABAP table
Code is a part of some ABAP report. Looks like it is reading a file from file system and updating table after transformation
If you have requirement like you need to read XML file and then insert the data into a SAP table
You can use
File to RFC
File to Proxy scenario using SAP PI.
Please provide more inputs on requirement to help
Thanks

Create Report with CR4E and XML Data Source
Hi all,
I have a problem when create a report with CR4E that should use a XML data source. It is not possible to choose fields from the field explorer, because ther are no fields from the XML-file. Is there a general problem when using an ODA data source in CR4E? At the moment I can only create reports with a database as data source.
Please help me with a tip.
Thanks
ArnoldHi,
After Installing CR4E Version 2 the code snippet for creating a XML-report not works as JSP. Has anywhere a hint to resolve the problem or a complete JSP-file?

How to take XML data source from URL?
Hi,

DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
parser.parse(url);
XMLDocument doc = parser.getDocument();I get exception : Exception in thread "main" oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParserException: Expected '?>' instead of 'EOF'
If i used it at another page (for example [http://www.w3schools.com/XML/simplexsl.xml|http://www.w3schools.com/XML/simplexsl.xml] ), compile was successful and i can work with this XMLDocument and etc.
I try load it by InputStreamReader too:
URL url = new URL("http://eu.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=33677");
try {
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream());
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine() != null) {
System.out.println(line);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace
}i get only compiled HTML code by web browser. At second page i load successfuly XML data - not compiled by browser.
Is possible to take original xml page source from this page? And what diferent is between this pages?
Thank you and i hope, you can translate this post without headache :-) If it will be necessary, i can more specify some details. -
Problem using JRC 2.0 on Unix with xml data source
Hello,
I am experimenting difficulties using the JRC 2.0 (which I hadn't with the previous version) on a RedHat 4 machine. It takes 7 minutes (only 20 seconds on Windows) to create a pdf (1 page) from a simple report using an xml file as data source.
It takes approximately 2 minutes when opening the report
> reportClientDoc.open(REPORT_NAME, 0);
then 4 minutes are required to connect the report to the xml data source
> reportClientDoc.getDatabaseController().setDataSource(xml_ds, "", "");
Have you got any clue on possible reasons for this issue ?

Post Author: new_crystal
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi,
I am creating a report which has a xml data source.
I have a field named fieldvalue in the xml, I need to present this fieldvalue in a column format based on the name of the column heading which is another field in the database called fielddata
here is what i want
fielddata1 fielddata2 fielddata3 .......
fieldvalue1 fieldvalue2 fieldvalue3......
i have dragged the fieldvalue 3 times in the report and applied different formula for each one of them
here is the eg. of the formula
if ( = "A" ) then
but it is not giving me the correct values pulled from the data source. for the first column it is pulling correctly but for the rest of the columns it is giving values as 0's.
Can anyone help me out in this? It is pretty urgent!
ThanksPost Author: tel

I have no idea how to format it in Crystal Reports (i'm new to it too), but if worse comes to worse, you can create an XSLT stylesheet to convert the XML into a format that is easier for Crystal to use.
In case you don't know XSLT is a programming language that is designed to convert one XML format into another. -
Problem with multiple XML data sources
Hi there,
I have a template (i'm using XML publisher). I need to use 2 different XML data files in the same template, but i couldn't find any way of doing so. Can somebody help me with this issue please? You obviously cannot load 2 XML Data sources in the same template.
Thanks and Regards,
LukeIs your xml stored some where,
then
Create datatemplate and use the xml as datasource.
You can create it using the following sysntax
<dataTemplate name="Employee" description="L" version="1.0">
<dataQuery>
<xml name="xml_emp" expressionPath=".//ROW">
<url method="GET" realm="" username="" password="">
file:///C:/dept_employee.xml</url>
</xml>
<xml name="xml_dept" expressionPath=".//ROW">
<url method="GET" realm="" username="" password="">
file:///C:/dept.xml</url>
</xml>
</dataQuery>
<dataStructure>
<group name="EMP" source="empxml">
<element name="NAME" value="ENAME"/>
your element here
</group>
<group name="DEPT" source="xm_DEPTl">
<element name="DNAME" value="DPTNAME"/>
your element from 2nd xml here
</group>
</dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>
Now your two xml source will become single source for the report. -
How to Write Log Message in a XML Data Source Report
Hi Friends,
Can anyone help me out what is the process of writing a log file in the XML Data Source Report. for eg: in Plsql we use FND_LOG.PUT_LINE to print the Log message in the Concurrent Request Output. in the similar manner, when we develop a report using XML, where we write Coding in XQuery of XML, what is the process need to follow to print the logs for the XQuery.
Any inputs/Suggestion on this Highly appreciable.
Thanks in advance.Create an RMI application (for example) that writes the log, and let all logging calls call that remote application.
Something like that is the only feasible way that doesn't require you to have a drive on the remote machine mapped to the local one (which causes its own problems as you could have multiple simultaneous write attempts...). -

Logon failed when connecting to XML data source over HTTP
I am trying to create a report using the standard report creation wizard:
1) new, standard report
2) create new connection
3) xml and web services
4) xml data source
When using the sample from the SAP site, it works fine:
http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/downloads/samples/cr/customer_db/customer.xml
I have an HTTP source that generates XML. I have a schema that describes this XML. If I save the XML to a local file it works fine as a data source with the schema. However, when I try to access the same data via HTTP, I get the following error:
Logon failed.
Details: Cannot open file
Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: http://localhost:8004/report.xqy?Validate%20XML=0&Use%20WS-Security%20Config%20File=&WS-Security%20File%20Location
However, if I enter that URL in a browser it works fine. And even if I disable security on the HTTP source, it produces the same error.
Does the URL for the HTTP data source have to conform to some specific pattern? For example, must the URL end in .xml?

MapViewer with XML data source
Hello all,
We have the MapViewer read data from JDBC data source doing spatial queries. Can any one tell me if I can use XML data source as input to the MapViewer.
We have a data source that is only available thru Web services, we cannot make a database view on the schema.
If not is it planned in the production version.
ThanksHow does the xml data look like? in GML?
If the xml data set is not too large, maybe you can add them (after your application has parsed them) as additional MapViewer GeoFeatures in a map request.
Currently MapViewer (preview or production release of 9.0.4) does not support xml-only datasource.
We will look into incorporating GML or other standard-based xml datasource for a future release of MapViewer. -

KittuHi Jay,
From Delta queue(RSA7) ur BW system is going to fetch the records of R3 or source system.
After extraction process it reaches RSA7 from there when u triggers infopackage
the job is ready to flood ur D.target with records.
Ensure that records are there for corresponding D.source this has to be attained thro' various Update methods(v3).
DataSource that is generated in SAP BW on the basis of a file-DataSource and
that can be used to push data to SAP BW
for more info on creation of XML D.source refer the link
