Fetch attribute value of structure node

Dear All,
Please let me know is it possible to get the attribute name and attribute value of a structure node of a record model inside the program?
Can I give any name as the attribute name?
Regards,
Biju K George

Hi,
could you provide an example ?
I think you speak about using field-symbol.
--> get the attributes of a structure or a table --> same has field catalog for ALV
--> get the value of the attributes :
concatenante structure_mane attribute_name into w_field separated by '-'.
assign (w_field) to <field>
check <field> is assigned.
and <field> is the value of the attribute attribute_name of the structure structure_name.
regards
Fred

Fetching multiple values from XML node

Hi,
I have the below XML string / Data stored in one of a table column. I am trying to extract the values of ITEM_NAME node. using the query :
select extractvalue(xml_data, '/BILL/BILL_DTL/RECORD/ITEM_NAME') from XMLTable;
If i use this query i am getting the error as : ORA-19025 EXTRACTVALUE returns value of only one node
XML String / XML data
<BILL>
.....<BILL_NO>1000</BILL_NO>
.....<SRNO>3456</SRNO>
.....<BILL_DTL>
........<RECORD>
...........<LINE_NO>1</LINE_NO>
...........<ITEM_NAME>TOYOTA COROLLA</ITEM_NAME>
........</RECORD>
........<RECORD>
..........<LINE_NO>2</LINE_NO>
..........<ITEM_NAME>NISSAN CEDRIC</ITEM_NAME>
.......</RECORD>
.....</BILL_DTL>
</BILL>
The structure of the table is given below.
SQL> DESC XMLTABLE;
Column_Name ---------------Type
DOC_ID -------------------------NUMBER
XML_DATA --------------------XMLTYPE
What will be the query to fetch the values from the ITEM_NAME node.
Thanks & Regards

A late answer but just to show that it can be done with XMLTable (the built-in Oracle function) when you expect to return multiple rows from one input.
WITH XMLTable AS
(SELECT XMLTYPE('<BILL>
   <BILL_NO>1000</BILL_NO>
   <SRNO>3456</SRNO>
   <BILL_DTL>
      <RECORD>
         <LINE_NO>1</LINE_NO>
         <ITEM_NAME>TOYOTA COROLLA</ITEM_NAME>
      </RECORD>
      <RECORD>
         <LINE_NO>2</LINE_NO>
         <ITEM_NAME>NISSAN CEDRIC</ITEM_NAME>
          </RECORD>
     </BILL_DTL>
</BILL>') xml_data
   FROM dual
SELECT item_name
FROM XMLTable,
       XMLTable('/BILL/BILL_DTL/RECORD'
                PASSING xml_data
                COLUMNS
                   item_name VARCHAR2(25) PATH 'ITEM_NAME'
Returns
ITEM_NAME
TOYOTA COROLLA
NISSAN CEDRIC

How to get attribute value of a node

Hi experts
I have a mapped node in my view context from component controller context. This node consists of 2 value attributes inside
Example:
NODE1             -
> Cardinality 1..1, seleciton 1..1
   -- x_date         -
> type DATS
   -- x_years        -
> dec3
How do I get the attribute value attr1 and attr2 ??
Here is my code in my view method
DATA: lr_node_info TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node_info,
        l_date       TYPE dats,
        l_xyears     TYPE i.
lr_node_info = wd_context->get_node_info( ).
lr_node_info = lr_node_info->get_child_node('NODE1').
   l_date       = lr_node_info->get_attribute( name = 'X_DATE' ).
   l_xyears     = lr_node_info->get_attribute( name = 'X_YEARS' ).
It does not seems to work since it says < the result type of the function method can not be converted into the result type L_DATE>
I try to understand why but not sucessful, please help and thank you for your kindness

Hi Dean,
Regading uour problem of reading the attributes value of the context node, you have to use the code wizard. that ia avaliable on the top toolbar when you are inside the View Method
There is option to read context select that radio button option and then thru F4 help
if you can select the node then Code is automatically generated with variable declaration.!!
Like this :
DATA lo_nd_node1 TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
    DATA lo_el_node1 TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
    DATA ls_node1 TYPE wd_this->element_node1.
    DATA lv_x_date LIKE ls_node1-x_date.
    DATA lv_x_year LIKE ls_node1-x_year.
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <NODE1> via lead selection
    lo_nd_node1 = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_node1 ).
get element via lead selection
    lo_el_node1 = lo_nd_node1->get_element( ).
get all declared attributes
    lo_el_node1->get_static_attributes(
      IMPORTING
        static_attributes = ls_node1 ).
    lv_x_date = ls_node1-x_date.
    lv_x_date = ls_noe1-x_year.
if you can select the attribute then Code is automatically generated with variable declaration.!!
DATA lo_nd_node1 TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_el_node1 TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA ls_node1 TYPE wd_this->element_node1.
DATA lv_x_date LIKE ls_node1-x_date.
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <NODE1> via lead selection
lo_nd_node1 = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_node1 ).
get element via lead selection
lo_el_node1 = lo_nd_node1->get_element( ).
get single attribute
lo_el_node1->get_attribute(
    EXPORTING
      name = `X_DATE`
    IMPORTING
      value = lv_x_date ).
Hopes this will helps you.

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:

How to make visible value attributes of a Search Node

Hi All,
We have a requirement to enhance the search context node SEARCH ( Dynamic Query Object SVYQ ) of component SVY_S.
But the enhancement category of Attribute Structure CRMST_QUERY_SVYIL is 'Can't be enhanced'.
So we are adding value attributes to this context node. How to make this value attributes available in view configuration tab?
Please suggest a better approach if there is any.
Thanks in adv.

Hi Suchindra,
You assign these enhanced attributes to design layer. so you can see these fields in Config tab.
How to do:
IMG->Customer Relationship Management -> UI Framework -> UI Framework definition -> Maintain
design layer
Here include the enhanced attributes and then go to component work bench and in context attributes right click assign the desing layer, selct your attribute and in the bottom click on SAVE button.
Then check it in configuration tab your attributes will available in show available fields.
I hope this will solve your problem

Sagar

Hi,
You get name of an attribute by this code
<xsl:for-each select="@*">
    <xsl:text>Value of </xsl:text>
           <xsl:value-of select="name(.)"/>
    <xsl:text> is </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
Change value by providing new value in <xsl:value-of select="."/>

How to set a attribute value of a sub node binded to a table.. pls respond.

Hi friends,
I have context defined like this.
     Head_node ( table 1)
          Item_node ( table 2, sub node ). ( now this im saving in global internal table).
so now when i hit save button, im passing my internal table (it has col1- sales order no, col2 item details(table type, which can have more than one record) to a FM, to create sales order.
My sales order is getting saved.
But the function module will return some new values (like sales order number, item number etc).
Now i want these values to be updated in my context.
Meaning whenever after that i do get_attribute, i should get these new (sales order no, item no ) also.
I dont know how to set the context values of sub nodes , so im missing these values.
kindly respond back to me..
thanks in advance,
Niraja

Its very simple.
Follow these steps. e.g you want to get the new sales order number. Define a attribute in ur node (or set of attributes in ur case as per reqruirement) say new_so_number.
Check your FM, if its returning new_so_number then it's fine, otherwise you have to change the FM to return the new_so_number or you have to get from db table somehow, which best suites your req.
So once you have new_so_number after calling the FM, say in lv_new_so_number field. Then write this code to set the attribute (change the variables as per your context attributes)
DATA lo_nd_head TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_el_head TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA ls_head TYPE wd_this->element_head.
DATA lv_new_so_number LIKE ls_head-new_so_number.
* navigate from <CONTEXT> to <HEAD> via lead selection
lo_nd_head = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_head ).
* get element via lead selection
lo_el_head = lo_nd_head->get_element( ).
lv_new_so_number = new_so_number. " (You got this as a exporting parameter of FM etc..)
* get single attribute
lo_el_head->set_attribute(
    EXPORTING
      name = `NEW_SO_NUMBER`
      value = lv_new_so_number ).
Hope it works.

Select XML Node by a specific attribute value

I am newbie for LifeCyle.
This might be an easy question, but it really got me here.
I am trying bind xml data into a Drop-Down List. The databinding is working fine, but I would like to have more specific node selected from the xml file by using a attribute value.
for example Code in AS 3.0
root.node.(@id=="1").subNode
How could i do the same thing in LifeCycle Designer 8.0
Thank you in advance!!!

there's no native method for this, maybe you should create some functions for this. just like
private function setAttribute(node:XML, name:String, value:String, index:int = -1):void
    var attrs:XMLList = node.attributes().copy(),
        l:int = attrs.length();
    if(index == -1 || index > l - 1)
        node.@[name] = value;
    else
        delete node.@*;
        var idx:int = 0;
        for (var i:int = 0; i < l + 1; i++)
            if(i == index)
                node.@[name] = value;
            else
                var attr:XML = attrs[idx];
                node.@[attr.name()] = attr.toString();
                idx++;
and use it like this:
setAttribute(myNode, "otherAttribute", "abc", 0);

Sum on child nodes based on attribute value in xslt

Hi all,
Any one can post helpful code to calculate the sum of child nodes based on the attribute value of other child node.
Let's say for example.
I have one child element has attribute value let's say Tax so I have to put condition on child element having value of "Tax" I need to calcualte sum of Invoice amount that element is also child node
After calculating sum I have to apply that sum at the header level of the Invoice. For each Invoice I have calculate sum and apply at the header level.

It isn't working :(.Got the following error:

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.
I took have a similar problem only..

Get the message attribute values in Orchestration without using property promotion

I have the following schema :
Now I want to get the values of FName,LName in orchestration without using any property promotion ?
Prakash

There are also multiple ways of creating the Xpath:
- Full path with namespaces - Rahul Madaan showed this one
- Full path without namespaces:
FName = xpath(InputMessage, "string(/*[local-name()='Root']/*[local-name()='IntField'])");
I think this method is handy if you have multiple schemas with similar structure but the namespace
changes. This is also easier to read and less prone to errors if there are any changes.
If you for example wanted the node #3, then it would be
FName = xpath(InputMessage, "string(/*[local-name()='Root']/*[local-name()='IntField'][3]/*[local-name()='IntSubField'])");
- Jump directly to the field/node you need (this one works for at least xml elements):
xpath(InputMessage, "string(//*[local-name()='IntField'])");
I find this useful when picking up key-values from the message, that can be available only once.
All the examples above are for elements. Since you are picking up value from an attribute, the actual structure
is
varFName = xpath(InputMessage,"string(/*[local-name()='StudentDetails']/*[local-name()='Student']/@*[local-name()='FName'])");
And to learn the rest of the possibilities of Xpath, like count, different types, more detailed selections
of the correct Node (Like example, I want only the one where FNAME = 'MyFName') You can try something like: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/6944.biztalk-orchestrations-xpath-survival-guide.aspx
Also get DanSharp XmlViewer. It will help you quite a bit when fine tuning the xpaths.

How to get attribute value from an object inside an object in Xpress

Does anyone know how to get an attribute value from an object in Xpress in a workflow? I have an object structured as follows:
<ResourceInfo accountId='mj628' tempId='3483372b787ce7dd:-5d99a0c5:130cb238483:-3600'>
<ObjectRef type='Resource' name='Google Apps'/>
</ResourceInfo>
I need if possible to get the name='Google Apps', which is inside the ObjectRef, so I guess its an attribute value of an object inside an object.

If the ResourceInfo object is accessible in a variable, i.e. named "myResInfo", you just have to check the Java API and call the relevant method:
<invoke name='getResourceName'>
<ref>myResInfo</ref>
</invoke>

How to Get xml Attribute value from a given xpath

i'm building an xml from 3 columns a,b,c using 'SELECT EXTRACT (XMLELEMENT ("ROOT",.........)'
and my xml looks something like this
<ROOT>
<categories>
<catogory value="col a value" display="true"/>
<catogory value="col b value" display="false"/>
<catogory value="col c value" display="false"/>
</categories>
<DATAS>
</DATA>
</ROOT>
now under the datas node i want to use xpath like this
(case when '/root/categories/catogory/[@display="true"]' then '/root/categories/catogory/@value' else 0 end)
so tat i get values under data node based on display attributes.... is it possible..
if not is ther any alternative way of using xpath

What version of Oracle (4 digits)?
Are you trying to populate the Data node when you are building the XML originally via your SQL/XML statement or are you talking about modifying some existing XML to add more nodes to it based on data in the XML already?

ImportNode() does not import attribute values

I want to import one part of xml document into another xml document. I use the Document.importNode() method to do this. Here's my code snippet:
Document newdoc = db.newDocument();
Node importedNode = newdoc.importNode(xmlnode,true);
But as the result the xml part is copied into importedNode, but attribute values are empty. What do I do wrong? I'm really lost, so thanks for ANY help.

Well, the importNode() method should do this. But while using Xerces (I must use this one (currently in 1.4.4 version), not any other parser) you'll find out there is a bug in this method. It could work for you (maybe), but for me it just removes all the attribute values. So I'm still looking for an answer.
I wrote one very simple (not generic, which is enough for my case) method to just hack the behaviour, and I entered bug to Xerces bugzilla, but nobody cares ;O( for it. Sad, but true.

Oracle XML DOM parser - attribute values are not printing on the screen ??

Hi Everyone,
I am just trying to use oracle DOM parser to paerse one of my xml file, java file can be compiled and run agianst a xml file, But I cannot see any attribute values printing on the screen..
