Fastest method to load external data?

Hi,
Currently we load external xml file and parse it for our
internal use.
However, parsing take time, is it possible to reduce this
step?
Such as serialize / de-serialize?
thanks.

Are you using Xpath API to parse your xml? This will help
some doing just queries but some parsing will still need to be
done.
Another solution is to not load xml but use Flash remoting.
Flash remoting is a binary format and much faster. WIth Flash
remoting you can pass all your items in the native formats defined
in PHP, ASP.Net, or ColdFusion.

Load external data into se-main-menu

hi,
i've tried to load external data (vars,files)into a selfmade
sony-ericsson-flash-menu for the w810i.
it is possible to load the data for the current active menu
via loadVariablesNum("application://focused", 0);
so i thought i could load some other stuff into the mainmenu.
i tried to load an swf with loadMovie/loadMovieNum.
i tried to load vars from a txt-file with
loadVariables/loadVariablesNum.
and i tried to open a webadress with getURL.
but nothing happens ... :(
the files (swf,txt) are in the same folder like the
mainMenu.(tpa\preset\system\desktop\flash)
maybe the w810 does not execute the swf in the same folder
where it is at the moment?!
is it possible to figure out where the swf is executed?
the _url command is not supported by flash-lite-1.x ...
some ideas?

How to load external data without using external tables

Hi,
I'm asked to develop an ETL for loading external data into a database but, unfortunately, the vers. is 8i so I can't use external tables.
I know that it's possible by using SQL-Loader. What I want to know is whether there's another way in 8i to load external data from a text file or a CSV file directly with a stored procedure without having to write CTL of SQL-Loader on the server. I mean, is there a way to write everything on the database the same manner I'd do whether I wrote data from a table to a file using for example UTL_FILE or the unique way is to write control files of SQL-Loader directly on the server?
Thanks!

Thank you very much Karthick
I didn't know I could use UTL_FILE also for reading files. I've always use it only for writing data into external files.Yes you can use UTL_FILE to read. The version of oracle you are using i last used in 2004 :) Still remember giving the OS path of the file to open the file. That is long gone now. Its surprising that you are still in 8i.

Hi haritha,
Please check whether your file whcih you are loading is open , when you are starting the Infopackage.
Also please check this SAP Note 600246 - RSAR 234: Error 4 when you load external data.

Error 1 when loading external data

Hi BW( Best and Wise) friends,
I am not able to load data into my infocube. My source system is a PC file.
Message "Error 1 when loading external data is displayed." when scheduled.
When I checked the error details using Monitor button,
During extraction, the data request was arranged(indicated by green mark),but there was error in data request(red).
During extraction,data request was received (green),but there was some error in data selection(red).
Anticipating good solution.

HI all,
1.The flatfile matches with the transfer structure
2.The file is a .csv format file only.
3.The path is correct
I had chosen comma as my data separator.
I had declared fields in the following way in the XL csv file
Name of the candidate text
Name of the party- text
Age-number
Number of votes gained number
Calendar day text.
I had already tried the following.
When I clicked the preview in the external data tab of the infopackage, a window showing the preview parameters is opening. When I clicked the tickmark, message error 1 when loading data is displayed.
4. The details tab of the monitor showed the following:
Overall status : Errors occurred: or: Missing messages-red
4.1)Requests(messages):Errors occurred-red
 Data request arranged-green
 Error in datarequest-red
4.2)Extraction(messages):Errors occurred-red

4.3)Transfer(IDocs and TRFC):Everything ok-green

 Info IDoc 2: Application document posted-green
4.4)Processing(data packet): No data-yellow
I had initiated the discussion in the forum with this information only.

Best method to load XML data into Oracle

Hi,
I have to load XML data into Oracle tables. I tried using different options and have run into a dead end in each of those. I do not have knowledge of java and hence have restricted myself to PL/SQL solutions. I tried the following options.
1. Using DBMS_XMLSave package : Expects the ROWSET and ROW tags. Connot change format of the incoming XML file (Gives error oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Start of root element expected).
2. Using the XMLPARSER and XMLDOM PL/SQL APIs : Works fine for small files. Run into memory problems for large files (Gives error java.lang.OutOfMemoryError). Have tried increasing the JAVA_POOL_SIZE but does not work. I am not sure whether I am changing the correct parameter.
I have read that the SAX API does not hog memory resources since it does not build the entire DOM tree structure. But the problem is that it does not have a PL/SQL implementation.
Can anyone PLEASE guide me in the right direction, as to the best way to achieve this through PL/SQL ??? I have not designed the tables so am flexible on using purely relational or object-relational design. Although would prefer to keep a purely relational design. (Had tried used object-relational for 1. and purely relational for 2. above)
The XML files are in the following format, (EXAMINEEs with single DEMOGRAPHIC and multiple TESTs)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Root_Element>
<Examinee>
<MACode>A</MACode>
<TestingJID>TN</TestingJID>
<ExamineeID>100001</ExamineeID>
<CreateDate>20020221</CreateDate>
<Demographic>
<InfoDate>20020221</InfoDate>
<FirstTime>1</FirstTime>
<LastName>JANE</LastName>
<FirstName>DOE</FirstName>
<MiddleInitial>C</MiddleInitial>
<LithoNumber>73</LithoNumber>
<StreetAddress>SomeAddress</StreetAddress>
<City>SomeCity</City>
<StateCode>TN</StateCode>
<ZipCode>37000</ZipCode>
<PassStatus>1</PassStatus>
</Demographic>
<Test>
<TestDate>20020221</TestDate>
<TestNbr>1</TestNbr>
<SrlNbr>13773784</SrlNbr>
</Test>
<Test>
<TestDate>20020221</TestDate>
<TestNbr>2</TestNbr>
<SrlNbr>13773784</SrlNbr>
</Test>
</Examinee>
</Root_Element>
Thanks for the help.

Please refer to the XSU(XML SQL Utility) or TransX Utility(for Multi-language Document) if you want to load data in XML format into database.
Both of them require special XML formats, please first refer to the following docs:
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/tech/xml/xdk_java/doc_library/Production9i/doc/java/xsu/xsu_userguide.html
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/tech/xml/xdk_java/doc_library/Production9i/doc/java/transx/readme.html
You can use XSLT to transform your document to the required format.
If you document is large, you can use SAX method to insert data into database. But you need to write the code.
The following sample may be useful:

Load external data to symbol (text + images)

Hi there!
I would like to make a symbol that contains one image and one textfield. I've got three buttons, and when I click on each button the symbol shows a different content (so an image and a text depending on what button was clicked, but always inside the same symbol).
I've read that it could be done using an external JSON file, though I really don't know how to do that.
Do you have something that could help me achieve this?
Thank you very much!

Mmmh not really,
Actually I would like to load these data into a symbol by clicking on another symbol, but these specific data are extern (like an image from another folder in my project files).
What I would like to achieve actually is an image gallery: when I click on a symbol (that is kind of a thumbnail), it show that other symbol which contain the image and a description. But these image and description changes regarding which thumbnail we clicked on.
Does that make sense? =/

Error while loading external data using Business Content

Hi,
I am new to BW and I'm stuck up with this problem.
I'm trying to load data from external file using business content cube(0PUR_C01)and infosources(2LIS_02_ITM/S012/SCL).
I first installed the above mentioned cube and data sources.
Then I activated the update rules and transfer rules, without any changes.(I don't know what changes might be required!)
Monitor is showing successful load but the cube has 0 enteries.
Even the simulation of update is showing data in the data target.
Can someone please guide me through this ?
Its really urgent....
Thank you all in advance.

Loading external data

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/html/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9b90204-7cfd.html

Last example is full of mistakes, corrected version below:
var variables = new air.URLVariables("name=Franklin");
var request = new air.URLRequest();
request.url = "http://www.[yourdomain].com/greeting.cfm";
request.method = air.URLRequestMethod.POST;
request.data = variables;
var loader = new air.URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat = air.URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
loader.addEventListener(air.Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);

Trying to load external data

ive read the tutorials and searched the forums but i still
need some help. im trying to read data from a text file here (
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/realtime2/41035.spec)
what i cant figure out is how to call each value to its own dynamic
text field.
YYYY MM DD hh mm H0 SwH SwP WWH WWP SwD WWD STEEPNESS AVP MWD
2006 12 10 00 00 0.3 0.3 6.2 0.1 3.2 ESE SE N/A 6.1 110
2006 12 09 23 00 0.3 0.3 9.1 0.1 3.6 SE SE N/A 6.2 134
2006 12 09 22 00 0.3 0.3 9.1 0.1 3.6 SE ESE N/A 6.2 125
2006 12 09 21 00 0.3 0.3 7.1 0.1 3.4 ESE ESE N/A 5.9 119

Perhaps the LoadVars.load method documentation may be easier:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=0000233 4.html
Here is the example from that link modified slightly:
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
trace(this.toString());
textField1_txt.text = this.var1
textField2_txt.text = this.var2
textField3_txt.text = this.var3
textField4_txt.text = this.var4
} else {
trace("Error loading/parsing LoadVars.");
my_lv.load("
http://domain/loadvarsfile.txt");
As you can see in the example you set your dynamic TextFields
equal to the vars in the loaded file.
The other part of the equation is the loaded vars file which
might be
var1=1234&var2=Hello&var3=12/1/2006&var4=Blah
blah blah

N95-3 (NAM) - loading external data fails

Well, after extensive testing with my own code as well as
"sample" files provided by Adobe and Nokia for very simple data
loading (both for local .txt files as well as calls to a remote
server), the N95-3 (NAM) is just about useless. Fails each time.
Am a bit surprised that Nokia would release a phone without
first testing this functionality...
anyone have an "old" N95 they're looking to get rid of? Need
one *urgently* to test code for a project I'm working on...

Hi
I Have had trouble raching the network for some time.
Problem solved. My misstake, It was the cube that were set to transactional.....

Load external data on F700

Does anyone know how to connect from flash lite to an
external server on a Samsung F700?

Mark,
Thanks for your reply. The point is that I am owner of an
F700, and already concluded that it can run swf files. It has
access to local files, but I would like to connect to an HTTP
server. I already tried loadVars and an external swf file, but
without success. Could it be that you or someone else has another
way to connect to the Internet which coincidentally works?
Sincerely,
Arnold
