Extract category attribute value desgin question

I created a search application which returns a result set of documents that have a custom category. I need to extract the values of the applied category. Right now I'm doing some looping a getting the requestedAttributes until i have the CUSTOM_ALL. I get the values using the internal names.
Document -> Categories -> CUSTOM_ALL -> Custom Attributes Values
Is there a better way to do this?

Unfortunately no, at least as far as I know. I wrote some procedures that I can use in all places where I need category information (procedures like getCatInfoFromFolder, mapInternalToDisplayNames, ....), it took me a while but it saved me a lot of time in later coding.

Can we update the Category attribute values of a file

Can we update the Category attibute values of a file with out checkout the file?
I have set the version configuration to folder and try to update the category attribute values of a file under that folder,
It is asking to checkout the file before modifying the category attibute values.
Is it required to checkout the file before modifying the category attribute values of that file?
Is there any way to update the category attribute values without checkout the file?
Please help on this

One of the ways i can think of is using Batch Loader script for large number of files. Mention such files in Batch Loader script, and it will update category and all meta-data required in terms of next revision.
In case number of files are less manual checkout and check-in will help.

Extracting the Attributes values of an XML Element

Dear Forum Members
Please tell me any XML Function which is used to extract the Attribute value of an XML Element.
Given below
<BRKCD_STREDSWTINVIN_C Key="6708">
is an Element With some Key value.
I want to have that Key value.
Using Extract and Extractvalue I am not able to get the Attribute value.
Is there any way..
Regards
Madhu K

Your xml is not really complete ;), but this should get you started:
michaels> with t as
(select xmltype('<BRKCD_STREDSWTINVIN_C Key="6708"></BRKCD_STREDSWTINVIN_C>') xml from dual)
select d.xml, d.xml.extract('//BRKCD_STREDSWTINVIN_C/@Key') key
from t d
XML KEY

Category attribute value in OCS DB

Hi !
Im doing a SQL search directly in OCS DB and so far Im able to search via oracle text in documents content. My question is: where are located the attributes values that the user
enters in attributes when creating a document ?
By attributes I mean the elements of one single categories.
i.e.: My category name is MyCategory and I have one attribute in it MyAttribute which is a String value.
Where is that value located in the database when its created on document creation?
Thanks

Sorry
This answer is valid to Oracle Content Database. I am not aware if it works for OCSDB also.
Hope that helps,
Dani
Hi,
The values of the categories attributes are located on the tables of the categories. All the categories and attributes are managed by internalnames. I hope this query help to answer your question:
SELECT odmv_metadataschemacategory.displayname as catname,
'ODM_'|| odmv_metadataschemacategory.ASSOCIATEDSCHEMAOBJECT || 'AH' as tablename,
odmv_mdataattrschemacategory.displayname as atrname,
odmv_mdataattrschemacategory.name as columnname
FROM odmv_metadataschemacategory,
odmv_mdataattrschemacategory,
odm_schemacategory,
odm_classobject
WHERE odmv_mdataattrschemacategory.associatedschemaobject =
odmv_metadataschemacategory.id
and odmv_metadataschemacategory.id = odm_schemacategory.id
and odm_classobject.id = odm_schemacategory.associatedschemaobject;
Best regards,
Dani

I have already posted this in the XML DB forum, but am relying that some of you might help me.
I have been searching for a solution for this and couldn't quite get it. I'm trying to get attribute values from multiple entries in a Node. It workes for a single node, but for multiple nodes, it fails. Could you please give me a solution?

Extract Category, Attributes data in Multilingual

Hi experts,
I'm using the MDMGX to extract the Categories data using the F/M "MDM_COMM_CATEGORIES_EXTR".
data is populated (in debug mode) in all languages but, when the XML file created its showing only English language data. did I left any configurations / parameter values ?
Same with the CategoryAttributes data, using F/M "MDM_COMM_CAT_ATTRIBUTES_EXTR".
Let me know how to extract the Category data & Attribute data in multilingual and also explain the use of SETTYPES in the extraction part.If there is another way to extract data ? Please guide me.
Regards,
Rupesh K

Hi Rupesh,
For given port code define lang dependant field to be extracted under LANG_FIELDS field
e.g. for extracting country related data the entry should be like given below
MDM_PORTCODE = LT_Countries
Table_name = T005T
LANG_FIELDS= SPRAS=langkey,LANDX=Name,NATIO=Nationality
here it will fetch data from T005T table from which spras field will be mapped to langkey, landx will be mapped to Name & Natio to Nationality.
Just check data u entered under 'LANG_FIELDS' .
Refer to standard upload files given by SAP delivered with MDM Business content.

Category attributes default values updating

Hi,
I'm developing an application that, upon upload of a file to the specified root folder(through the application), reads some values from a file, creates a folder structure based on those values, and moves the file in the bottom folder. Now, a predefined category should be attached to the file, to enable search by category attributes. My idea is to set the category as required on that bottom folder (or the first), and modify it's attribute default values, so that the file inherits them when moved in it. I have found mshannon's examples in some other thread ( Updating a document with category metadata using updateDocument(): error! ), the first one works only with files, not folders, and the second one doesn't work for me at all, I get an error:
javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: ORACLE.FDK.AggregateError:ORACLE.FDK.AggregateError
here is my code:
public static void updateAttributes() throws FdkException, RemoteException{
login();
FileManager fm = s_WsCon.getFileManager();
Item fajl = fm.resolvePath(prop.getProperty("userhome") + "/root folder/folder1/readme1.txt",
null);
long docID = fajl.getId();
NamedValue[] catInstAtr = new NamedValue[] {
new NamedValue("CUSTOM_138297", "changed value for att1"),
new NamedValue("CUSTOM_138299", "changed value for att2")
NamedValue[] catDef = new NamedValue[] {
new NamedValue(Options.UPDATE_CATEGORY_ID,new Long(139054)),
new NamedValue(Options.CATEGORY_DEFINITION_ATTRIBUTES, catInstAtr)
NamedValue[] docDef = new NamedValue[] {
new NamedValue(Options.CATEGORY_DEFINITION, catDef)
AttributeRequest[] reqAtr = new AttributeRequest[]{
new AttributeRequest(Attributes.DESCRIPTION, null)
fajl = fm.updateDocument(docID, docDef, reqAtr);
logut();
This example is (I think) only for updating on document level, but I could use a solution for folder-level updating, as I explained before. Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Pedja

Pedja,
Here is my code to get category from Folder this is updated version from sample code TestCategory2.java
1. It will get the required category of a folder.
2. gets the internal category attribute names
3. get Category id if uploading file along with category attribute values OR
updating file and also updating previous category instance values..

Get Folder Content with category attributes

Hi Gurus,
I want to get all documents of a folder with few custom category attributes values.
How can I query this?
Thanks
JO

Yes, you make a SearchExpression tree that holds all your attributes and values to compare them to. Here is something I used for a category with 7 attributes:
        AttributeRequest[] ar = new AttributeRequest[]{
            new AttributeRequest(Attributes.CLASS_NAME, null),
            new AttributeRequest(Attributes.METADATA_ATTRIBUTES, new AttributeRequest[]{
            new AttributeRequest(Attributes.ATTRIBUTE_NAME, null),
            new AttributeRequest(Attributes.DISPLAY_NAME, null)
        NamedValue[] SEARCH_INCLUDES_VERSIONHISTORY = new NamedValue[] {
            new NamedValue(Options.SEARCH_VERSION_HISTORY,Boolean.TRUE)
        NamedValue[] PRI_SORT_NAME_ASC = new NamedValue[] {
            new NamedValue(Options.PRIMARY_SORT_ATTRIBUTE,Attributes.NAME),
            new NamedValue(Options.PRIMARY_SORT_DIRECTION,Boolean.TRUE) // asc
        NamedValue[] options = (NamedValue[])FdkUtils.combineArrays(PRI_SORT_NAME_ASC, SEARCH_INCLUDES_VERSIONHISTORY);
        AttributeRequest[] reqAtr1 = new AttributeRequest[]{

How to extract attribute value from an XML

I have column where all my diffrent structures of XML's are getting stored. I want extract a patticular attribute value from all the XML’s. Can any one help me with this?

Updating category attribute (metadata) value

How do you update the value of a category attribute ?
For exemple, I have a document x with a category myCat with an attribute myAttr.
I want to change the value of myAttr once in a while. Is this possible?
How can I update that value ?
Thanks

Hi,
With removing category(using the categoryManager.deleteCategory) and reassigning the updated category attribute back to the document using (filemanager.UpdateDocument), this can be achive,
Have you worked out any other way?
Regards,

Extracting attribute value works in 9i, but not in 10g

Hello,
My XML goes as following:
<msg:msg xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.scala.net/ScaInternalMsg/1.1 http://scshost/schemas/Scala/ScaInternalMsg.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:msg="http://www.scala.net/ScaInternalMsg/1.1">
<msg:req tag="Customer Invoice In">
<msg:ers><msg:error type="logic error"><msg:number>8004AA0E(-2147177970)</msg:number>
in Oracle 9i (9.2.0.6) it worked fine when we were extracting the attribute of "msg:error" tag
declare
xDATA clob := <xml definition from above>
xt XMLTYPE;
result varchar2(512);
begin
xt := XMLType(xDATA)
result := xt.extract('//msg:error[1]//@type').GetStringVal();
end;
and it returns the attribute "logic error"
but in 10g (10.2.0.2.0) that same line
result := xt.extract('//msg:error[1]//@type').GetStringVal();
gives error :
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00601: Invalid token in: '//msg:error[1]//@type'
if you could help, i'd be very thankful

You need probably the namespace parameter in extract function:

Attributes and attribute values for a Product

Hi all
Is there any table or FM from where I can get a list of all the attributes and the attribute values linked to a particular product?
I got tables which link product with Prod Category, Prod Category with Set types and so on.
Could anyoe please provide me an FM which will give the attribute and its values for a particular product?
Please help!!
Regards
Debolina

Attributes created under s settype will be under the table with the name of that particular settype itself i.e Table name and the settype name are the same.
The other part of your question of where to find the list of all settypes and their corresposing attributes, you can make use of COMM_PR_FRG_REL.

Hi,
The issue here is the mapping of the interface to the service in question, and usually points to a possible mistype or rename of something within your service architecture.
You need to make sure your namespace and service name here match your service name itself.
For detailed information, you could refer to:

Parsing XML data stored as CLOB in DB and save attribute values in table

Hello,
I have a CLOB column in table that is holding XML data as follows,
<banners>
<banner-image id="0">
<type>BANNER</type>
<local-path>http.gif</local-path>
<click-through-url>www</click-through-url>
<make>Acura</make>
</banner-image>
<banner-image id="1">
<type>BANNER</type>
<local-path>http.gif</local-path>
<click-through-url>gfrty</click-through-url>
<make>BMW</make>
</banner-image>
</banners>
Now I need to parse thru the above XML data and pull the attribute values to store in another table as follows,
BANNER_IMAGE_ID | TYPE | LOCAL_PATH | CLICK_URL | MAKE
0 | BANNER | http.gif | www | Acura
1 | BANNER | http.gif | gfrty | BMW
And XML data doesn't always end up with 2 rows in this table....some times it may be 3 or 4 as well. It is just that in this example it ended up with 2 rows.
So, I would appreciate if someone can help me find a generic way of doing this,
Thank you in advance,
Madhu.

This is not a reply.. sorry.

Read a XML node value/attribute value from a CLOB

Hello,
I can write SQL/ - PL/SQL "straightforward" but now I have a problem what is to big for me. I hop that someone can help.
We create by code a xml structure and write these into the oracle database CLOB field. I'm sorry to say that a xml text structure is written into a clob in stead of a xmltype field. (it's a design failure?) It's a large xml structure. I believe I can't attach a file so I put at the end of this discussion a light example of the xml structure.
It's a xml with quartervalue's, so there are 35040 detail rows (24h * 4 * 365days). I want to accumulate the the attribute Amount value 9. The amount value is in the Detail node a attribute but at the end you can see that for the DST are also 4 value's, but these are not attribute value's but node value's. (In this case it are four value's in some cases there is one DST amount value.
Can somebody help me how to accumulate all the detail attribute value Amount with the node value Amount of the DST tag?

From what I know, extracting the "Amount" values in the Details section and the "Amount" values in the DSTS section would be two different SELECT statements.
Both of these will use XMLTable() to extract the values.
BTW - If you need more information on this, post up in the XML/XML DB forum section for more complex help. (eg getting YEAR with the DSTS Amount values)
as far as XML size goes, I've seen oracle handle a 100MB XML document without problems.
(just understand, it will be 'slow')
This one will give you the Amount values from the DSTS section:
