FDM automation directly from relational tables
Hi Experts ,
We are plan to use FDM 11.1.2 for data loading direct pull from oracle tables and then load it to planning(Essbase Cube) application(11.1.2). They want drill through to source as well .
We want to automate this process like whenever the oracle table gets updated with the new data ,the FDM has to run automatically and update the Essbase cube .
Please Suggest me the options to do it .
Thanks in Advance !
Keny Alex
It all depends on how you want to schedule the batch process. If, as in my earlier example, it is ok to run the batch load process at the end of the day to capture changes then you would simply schedule your modified batch script to run once per daya at a specified time. However, if you want your batch process to be triggered on every update event against the source table, then you could do something like the following:
1) Have a trigger on the source data table that updates seperate staging area with a value indicating whether an update has occured.
2) Have a polling pprocess that checks this value on a regular basis
3) Use upsShell.exe to cretae a command line that can be used to kick of the modified batch load script
4) If an update is indicated then execute the command line generated in step 3

XML Data from Relational Tables
Hi,
My requirement is to pull data from relational tables into xml format and port it to the user (either as a file or allow the user to access it directly from their browser). What is the best way to accomplish this. Your suggestions are appreciated.
thanks.Marco,
Thanks for your reply, did try that , but I want the users to query this view also. Due to the nature of the xml structure I am getting the correct results. May be my xpath query is not right? My xml is as below:
<node1 attribute-node1 = "somevalue1">
<cnode1 attribute-cnode1 = "somevalue2">
<cnode2 attribute-cnode2 = "somevalue3">
<cnode3>somevalue4</cnode3>
<cnode4>somevalue5</cnode4>
</cnode2>
<cnode2 attribute-cnode2 = "somevlaue6">
<cnode3>somevalue6</cnode3>
<cnode4>somevalue7</cnode4>
</cnode2>
</cnode1>
</node1>
and my requirement is like : the user wants to see only cnode2 with attribute value "somevalue3" (along with the rest of the xml) ie
<node1 attribute-node1 = "somevalue1">
<cnode1 attribute-cnode1 = "somevalue2">
<cnode2 attribute-cnode2 = "somevalue3">
<cnode3>somevalue4</cnode3>
<cnode4>somevalue5</cnode4>
</cnode2>
</cnode1>
</node1>
Need the correct xpath query for this.

Extracting data from Relational tables in 11.1.2.1
I want to extract the following data sets from relational tables
1. Attribute and its associated base member
2. Smartlist value of an account
Does any one have a code to extract this kind of data? Even pointing to the correct table names will be helpful.
ThanksThe table layouts can be found in the [documentation for EPMA|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/epm-data-models-11121-354684.zip] . If this doesn't work, there are other options to export hierarchies to text files. You can use life cycle management or the [EPMA File Generator|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epma_file_gen_user/launch.html].

Create Big XML files ( extract ) from Relational Tables
Experts: I need to create a big XML extract more than 5Gb , from relations tables using SQLX. I read the excellent FAQ given by MDrake in the following thread.
https://forums.oracle.com/thread/418001
Question
1) Is it better to use XML schema, My XML output format is pretty much going to be static, so I can register an XML schema .
2) Does Registering the XMLschema help with better memory management. I recall I used to get out of memory exception when I generated xml documents on oracle 10g using DBMS_XMLGEN.
3) Can I generate this 5 Gb of XML file using oracle's default DOM parser?
Thanks
KevinHi Kevin,
1) Is it better to use XML schema, My XML output format is pretty much going to be static, so I can register an XML schema .
2) Does Registering the XMLschema help with better memory management. I recall I used to get out of memory exception when I generated xml documents on oracle 10g using DBMS_XMLGEN.
No, an XML schema won't help for the generation.
It is useful though if you're looking for the opposite task, i.e. loading an XML file into database tables.
3) Can I generate this 5 Gb of XML file using oracle's default DOM parser?
What is the default DOM parser ? Do you mean DBMS_XMLDOM APIs?
Since you want to generate XML, there's not much to parse.
Generally, using SQL/XML functions is the way to go.
You may still hit some performance/memory issues while reaching such a size, especially with large XMLAgg aggregation context.
If you do, you may switch to chunk generation instead. I've got some pretty good result with this approach and the parallel query feature. -
How to create XML from relational tables based on an XML Schema ?
There is no automated way in Oracle XML DB to define an automatic mapping between a set of columns in some existing relational tables and the elements and attributres defined by an XML Schema.
However it is easy solve this problem by using the SQL/XML operators (XMLAGG, XMLELEMENT, XMLFOREST, XMLATTRIBUTES, etc) to generate XML documents that are compliant with an XML Schema directly from a SQL statement.
If the XML Schema is registered with Oracle XML DB and the appropraite Schema Location information is added into the generated document using XMLAttributes then it becomes very easy to ensure that the generated documents are valid.
The following example show an easy way to do this by creating an XML View that contains the documents to be validated.

SQL>There is no automated way in Oracle XML DB to define an automatic mapping between a set of columns in some existing relational tables and the elements and attributres defined by an XML Schema.
However it is easy solve this problem by using the SQL/XML operators (XMLAGG, XMLELEMENT, XMLFOREST, XMLATTRIBUTES, etc) to generate XML documents that are compliant with an XML Schema directly from a SQL statement.
If the XML Schema is registered with Oracle XML DB and the appropraite Schema Location information is added into the generated document using XMLAttributes then it becomes very easy to ensure that the generated documents are valid.
The following example show an easy way to do this by creating an XML View that contains the documents to be validated.

How to create xml file from relational tables in 10gR2
Hi,
I am very new to XML and was wondering how to create an XML file from querying relational tables. Some child tables may contain multiple rows that need to be returned in certain instances. Other queries will just be single or multiple rows from one or more tables. I would like to use the latest feathers in 10gR2. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Thanks,

Generate xml output file from relational table
Hi All,
I'd like to generate an XML file from a relational table but would like to persist the XSD in Oracle does anyone have a working example?
Edited by: houchen on Jun 2, 2009 5:34 AMFrom the FAQ on the {forum:id=34} forum, {thread:id=416001}.
If you are wanting to register the schemas in Oracle, you will find info on that as well in the FAQ. -
Colleting related information from related tables
Hi,
I have a requirement that i have to collected all related information from all related tables and store into text file.
Table_A - Table_B,Table_B - Table_C, Table_B - Table_D
if this is the relation
for each record in Table_A i have to collected the details from Table_B and from all the related tables. The structure is not definded and it can varry.
present approach is
we have designed a table with parent,child,reference and the relation we are mentioning it in the table and using this we are trying to represent in tree structure.
we have also writen recursive procedure to traverse through the nodes and flushing the record to the file.
Is that there is any better way to do?Thanks a lot for your interest
the table structure is like this
case
|----act_entry
|....|--------gbst_elm
|....|--------participant
|....|--------user
|----close_case
.....|------act_entry
.................|----- gbst_elm
.................|----- participant
.................|----- user
so i want to collect the related records of a particular
case ( let it be 100) in all act_entry (let it be 200,300) and then i have to go to gbst_elm and collect all records of gbst_elm(let it be 400,500) related to fetched act_entry based on the case.
so the result in the text file shoule be like this
100, , , , ,
200, , , , ,
300, , , , ,
400, , , , ,
500, , , , ,
then for next case
relation of the table structured in a table
case_table_rel
parent........child............relation
case........act_entry.....case2act_entry
act_entry...gbst_elm......act_entry2gbst_elm
act_entry...participant...act_entry2participant
act_entry...user..........act_entry2user
case........close_case....case2close_case

Creating XML from Relational Tables using java
I would like to create an XML document by querying relational tables in java
try {
connection = getConnection();
final String qryStr = "select XMLElement( foo, 'bar' ) from dual";
final OracleXMLQuery qry = new OracleXMLQuery(connection, qryStr);
final String xmlString = qry.getXMLString();
I would expect this to give the following result that I get from running the statement in SQL Developer
select XMLElement( foo, 'bar' ) from dual
<FOO>bar</FOO>
Instead I get
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<ERROR>oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Character ')' is not allowed in an XML tag name.</ERROR>
Is this the correct way to go about this?Is this the correct way to go about this?
Not really.
OracleXMLQuery class is the Java-side implementation of DBMS_XMLQUERY APIs.
It's mostly designed to generate a canonical XML document out of a SQL query.
Assuming a query like "SELECT col1, col2 FROM my_table", the resulting XML should appear like this :
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<COL1>123</COL1>
<COL2>ABC</COL2>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<COL1>456</COL1>
<COL2>XYZ</COL2>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
So in your test, since the resulting column is not aliased (XMLElement), you're actually trying to generate something like this :
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<XMLELEMENT(FOO,'BAR')>
<FOO>bar</FOO>
</XMLELEMENT(FOO,'BAR')>
</ROW>
<ROWSET>
which of course is invalid, hence the error message.
If you want to generate only <FOO>bar</FOO> as output, just use a regular PreparedStatement with your query and access the document in the ResultSet with the proper getter. -
How to insert into xml table from relational table
I wrote a sqlstaement that selects value from the relational tables. Now I want to replace root node "<event_start01>" with following value to the above selected xml string. My select returns root node and all nodes and elements of the root node.
I tried holding above sellected value into varchar2 variable but I get ora-00600 error. If I hold above selected values into xmltype variable then I am not able to replace root node with the following value.
I want to rplace rootnode with the following string.
INSERT INTO FRMD_EVENT_START01(xml_event_start) VALUES
(XMLTYPE('<event_start01
xmlns="event_start01.xsd"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="event_start01.xsd
event_start01.xsd">Normally, you'd do this by joining B, C, and D together. In the simplest case, something like
INSERT INTO A( col1, ... col10 )
SELECT B.col1, ..., B.col4,
C.col5,
D.col6, ..., D.col10
FROM B,
C,
D,
WHERE B.someKeyColumn = C.someKeyColumn
AND C.anotherKeyColumn = D.anotherKeyColumnYou'd have to know how the data in B, C, and D relate to fill in the WHERE clause. This basically tells Oracle how to match the data in a particular row in B with the data in a particular row in C with the data in a particular row in D.

Can we delete adapters directly from OIM tables?
Hi,
Im working in OIM 10g. we have an OOTB adapter create mailbox and we made some changes in the xml file and import that once again.after that we are getting error in the adapter. We again reimport the old one but that also taking the previous ones reference. Can we delete the unwanted one from ADP table? Does it have any dependency to other tables? what is the right way to remove thatIt has reference in EVT table as well, you can delete from both places if it is not attached to any task. If any task is completed then you can deleted task and its adapter. Deleting from database however is not recommended. Try to export from some other image and import in yours.

Generating XML from relational tables and storing back in CLOB field
I have been reviewing the documentation and trying to figure out the best approach. I am on v 10.2.0.3 and need to select from a parent table and three child tables and want to generate the results as xml that I will place in a clob field in another table. I looked at XMLQuery and dbms_xmlgen.getxml. The difference appears to be that getxml allows you to code traditional sql to join the tables.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could provide some feedback and any sample code along the line that I describe above.
Thank you in advance for your help!
JerryAny feedback to the above questions would be greatly appreciated!

Create a large XML extract from relational tables - 10g
The Oracle 10g documentation recommends using the various SQL functions such as XMLAGG,XMLELEMENT or DBMS_XMLGEN under chapter "16 Generating XML Data from the Database" for generating a XML extract file. The DBMS_XMLDOM seems like a useful structured package to create a XML formatted extract. Any idea why Oracle does not recommend the use of XMLDOM API ? Are there performance issues or likely de-support ?
Whats the best way to produce a large XML extract?
Thanks.mdrake wrote:
No reason not to use it. It just tends to require a lot more coding than the other methods. Underneath the covers they all map into the same code-line. In general, to generate a given XML document you wlll write far fewer lines of code using the SQL/XML operators. Less Code written = less code to maintan = faster time to market.Less code to parse...? -
Reading XML file from specific location&Storing xmldata into related tables
I am new to xml.
My requirement is,
1) Get the xml file from specified location (C:\xmlfiles\ xmldata.xml)
2)Convert xml data in clob data.
3)store the data into related table.
and vice-versa.
What i did,
a) I got the data from related tables and converted into xmlformat using SQLX
b)converted this resultset into clob data and stored as xml file in specific location.
It uses more then ten tables.
All this help i got from AskTom site , thanks for that.
Now i have to do vise-versa, i.e. i have to perform 1), 2), 3) steps........
Please tell me proper steps to acheive it.
Thanks in advance for giving your precious time to solve my issue.Have you read the"XMLDB FAQ" in this Forum?
You could use stuff like:
create or replace directory xmldir as C:\xmlfiles'
declare
xmldata xmltype;
begin
xmldata := xmltype(bfilename('XMLDIR','xmldata.xml'),nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8'));
-- etc, etc your code --
-- --> convert to clob by using for instance getclobval() function
-- --> then insert the data in your relational table with CLOB column
-- etc, etc your code --
end;

Data fetching from Standard tables or transaction to SAP PI
Dear Friends !
Good day ! How are you ?
I have one requirement , My client asks me to develop a solution in that I should get the data from standard SAP tables like EKKO, EKPO ( MM related ) etc.. and send it to PI system and then PI system sends it to third party system database system.
We have current scenario is working fine, I have abap proxy that I called in various standard transaction codes ( MIRO, MIGO, etc ) ' Baddis just beforethe commit stament and it passed the data to SAP PI system and it sends to SQL system.
but my client dont want me to use Baddis. Client wants like u should read from those EKKO,EKPO tables as soon as you get new entry there and send it to PI system. I have no clue How can I go further in that. Shall I use events ? but then question is same I need to trgger them somewere? Is any one have idea How I can send the data to PI system frm SAP standard tcodes and tables without using Baddis.
Please reply me. your any help will be appreciated.
Regards
NaeemThe current Approach of your development perfectly good approach,
it is not possbiel to read data directly from SAP Tables, you have to use IDoc/RFC/Proxy,if you want to avoid BADI's then better to contact ABAP Team, they will help you different approches .
But you have to use Porxy/IDoc/BAPI for sure.
