Doc function in Xquery

Hi there,
Is there any way to provide "relative path" in doc function in Xquery instead of "absolute path" of a file.
I am using this in OSB and have placed the xml files (to be read) in the same folder where .xq file is already present.
Have tried all combinationss like:
let $mydata:=doc("/ER.xq")
let $mydata:=doc("./ER.xq")
but its not working. Please advice if this is possible.
Meanwhile i am going to try exposing the xml's over http and use the URL in doc function
Thanks in Advance
Arpit

Thanks for the reply odie....can u give some example here.
My situation:
Project Path: D:\oracle\OSB\Project1
Xquery Path: D:\oracle\OSB\Project1\A.xq
XML to read: D:\oracle\OSB\Project1\sample.xml

External document using XQuery doc() function - SEGV

The following code involving an XQuery using the doc() function to access an external document via the filesystem produces a segmentation fault on Windows XP 32 using Java 1.6.11 and BDB XML 2.4.16 + P1.
The input doc is just "<Urmel>Huhuhu</Urmel>".
Maybe some basic error of mine. How am I supposed to access external documents via XQuery's doc() function?

Generate DB DOC functionality should be able to specify a schema like TOAD.

I have created a request for this previously. I was hoping it wold be in the next release.
Its awesome to be able to specify a schema if you have the rights to generate documentation for it.
Generate DB DOC functionality should be able to specify a schema like TOAD.
Description I like the Generate DB DOC functionality.
It only seems to work for the account you are connect to.
I would like to see it work more like TOAD in that you could specify a schema and see the layout of that schema without having to find the account for it if you have rights to the objects via SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE or SELECT DICTIONARY_ANY or whatever objects you have rights to..
This is good for admins who have dictionary rights but now the password of the schema or a person who has been granted rights to a particular set of objects..
Looks like I got to sign onto TOAD to do this one for now since I don't know the schema password..

I downloaded adobe reader XI Free trial for 30 days and want to try Convert to DOC function but fail, please help!

When I click the button Subscribe now, it return: "Sorry, this Adobe product is currently not available for sale in your country."
That means I cannot Convert to DOC function??

Adobe Reader is free; there is no trial.
Regarding the ExportPDF service; see https://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2596
If ExportPDF is not available in your country, you will need to use Acrobat to convert; there is a 30-day trial available for Acrobat.
If you do have the Acrobat trial install, make sure you open the PDF to convert in Acrobat, not Adobe Reader.

Calling a java function from xquery

Hello,
I'm pretty new to ODSI and xquery, so forgive me if what I'm asking is too trivial, but I need to find a way to call a java function from inside xquery. I know xquery can do this through external functions, but can't find any example on how the query prolog declaration should be, nor how the function should look like. Could someone enlighten me?
Thanks,
Pedro Ivo

You can do this 2 ways that I know of (Mike probably has more ideas too)
1. Register an inversion function:
[How to use an inversion function|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13167_01/aldsp/docs32/dsp32wiki/Using%20Inverse%20Functions%20to%20Improve%20Query%20Performance.html]
2. Create a physical data service based on a java function. I have used this approach for both custom JDBC database operations and straight Java processing, with pretty good results.
Good luck,
Jeff

Open Doc Function to pass parameters from Xcelsius to WEBI

Hi All,
I need to have a drill through functionality from xcelsius report to WebI report I am using the following open doc URL
http://BO ServerName/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?
sType=wid&sRefresh=Y&sIDType=CUID&iDocID="Doc ID"&mode=full&lsSRegion=""&lsSDay=""&lsSPlant=""&lsSProduct%20Name=""
When I run the flash in Internet Explorer then the drill through webi report opens without any error for the 1st time
but when I try to reopen the report again with new set of parameters , the browser gets hanged
Also when I run the flash in Firefox , I get error while opening the Webi Report for the 1st time but when I try to open the report again it works fine.
Please let me know if anyone has faced similar issue before.
I am Using Xcelsius 2008 SP3 and BO XI 3.1
Thanks,
Shweta

Hi Shweta
If you place the URL un the browser directly does the report open and refresh ok? Can you try altering the parameters of the URL, also directly in the browser?
Something else to check would be if the prompts in the WebI report can be optional, store the last value etc, and I wouldn't recommend having a prompt which has a space in the name such as you have (Product%20Name). Keep the prompts as simple as possible, and make sure that the 'equal to' and 'in list' operators are properly reflected in the URL.

Charles

Including customized xquery functions in XQuery/XSLT expression Editor-OSB

Hi,
I have written a customized xquery function. I want this to be included in the List of Xquery Functions which is displayed by Oracle Service Bus in the XQuery/XSLT
Expression Editor. OSB displays the built in xquery functions in the XSLT/Xquey Expression Editor. Is there any way to add the customised xquery to this list, so that it can be dragged and dropped later?
Thanks,
Balaji.

I doubt if that is exposed out side of Oracle Engineering (Not public/documented). Please raise a support ticket for enhancement. If PM should concur you might get the steps that need to be performed for this feature.

Lexical Parsing exception using JXQI for function in XQuery

How to parse Xquery containing new declared namespace, functions and then use the same function to operate upon Xquery along with it.....
When i try to execute that XQuery using JXQI library, i get lexical parsing exception.......

Hi,
Could you post the XQuery, and a sample XML document (if necessary)?

SYS_GUID() SQL functions within XQuery

Is there any simple way to invoke regular SQL functions from within XQuery?
I would like to create an identifier attribute, and set the value to SYS_GUID(), but when I try to directly embed the function, it comes back saying:
ORA-19237: XP0017 - unable to resolve call to function - fn:SYS_GUID
select XMLQUERY('
<AgeCmf dtm="{current-dateTime()}" id="{SYS_GUID()}"/>
' RETURNING CONTENT) from dual;
I could dump the value into a temp table, or make it an input parameter via another function, but I am looking for something simple within a SQL call.
Thanks,
HW

Maybe this?:

Problem with user defined function in XQUERY

Hi,
I have a file in which I store XQUERY. My java program reads this file and executes the xquery
and output the result. I have a working XQUERY in a file, which is something like :
<feed>
let $entries := for $x in collection('/path/to/atomStore.bdbxml')/entry[matches(id,'
.entry')]
order by $x/updated descending
return <entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">{$x/id,$x/title,$x/published,$x/updated,$x/link}
</entry>
let $latest := fn:subsequence($entries, 1, 10)
for $f in $latest return $f
</feed>
After adding the following simple function(I'm not calling it anywhere for the time being),
I'm getting an error
com.sleepycat.dbxml.XmlException: Error: Error in XQuery expression:
Unrecognized character 'a' (0x61) [err:XPST0003], line 33, column 2, errcode = XPATH_PARSER_ERROR
declare function xml:convertdate($date as xs:integer) as xs:string
let $months := ("jan","feb","mar","apr","may","jun","jul","aug","sep","oct","nov","dec")
let $month := $months[$date]
return $month
I couldn't find any error with the function syntax. Anyone has any idea?
Regards,
Anoop

Hi Anoop,
The query and function work fine for me. What does the line and column information in the error point to?

Support for DbXml specific functionality in XQuery vs. Shell or API

Is / will there be any support for doing common commands in pure XQuery rather than just programmatically or through the shell? For example, in the shell I can create / list / delete indexes on a container, output query plans, etc. Are the same functions that are called through the shell available as XQuery functions? possibly in a dbxml function namespace?
In a related question, but possibly deserving of a new thread if it doesn't already have one - I know XQuilla has the ability to call registered external functions from parsed XQuery, is there a way to tell DbXml to register a function with XQuilla's static context before using it? that would make it possible for me to add the functionality described above myself without disturbing your distributed code.

Not so handy with C++ (my everday languages are PHP and Java), but if you say it can be done then I'll take a hack at it. If you happen to have examples of how other people have done it and you could point me at them it would be marvelous.
To answer your second question: "bingo." It mostly means less interface work and brings it closer to what SQL can do in relational databases.
The project allows the end user to define their own document structures (schema definitions more or less) and then create instances of these documents in a XML editing interface. For each document type, the end user is also able to define a set of named queries (abstracted function declarations) which lets us captures business rules without customizing our PHP code. Because the structure and queries that will be used against the documents are user defined its fairly impossible for me to automatically setup adequate indexes for the container of each set of documents. So I need an interface to allow the user to create / review / delete the indexes themselves.
We've already created an interface that allows the user to execute arbitrary queries against a selected document. In the future we'd also like this same interface to do result set based content updates (through the XmlModify class) and whole document addition / replacement. So inclusion of index control makes sense as well. We can find ways to use the APIs, it just seems like this could benefit more than just our project.
Placing the functionality from the shell into xquery extension functions seems analogous to having the UPDATE, DELETE and CREATE syntaxes of SQL.
