Form or form on report to update XML tagS stored in CLOB field.

I would like to create a form or a form on a report
where i can update xml tags. The xml data is stored in a CLOB field.
sample CLOB DATA
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE preferences SYSTEM 'http://java.sun.com/dtd/preferences.dtd'>
<preferences EXTERNAL_XML_VERSION="1.0">
<root type="user">
<map />
<node name="com">
<map />
<node name="mynode">
<map />
<node name="utils">
<map />
<node name="properties">
<map>
<entry key="Save" value="ON" />
<entry key="TM_PORT" value="55555" />
<entry key="TM_PORT2" value="7777" />
<entry key="SubID" value="all" />
<entry key="UserDBUsr" value="myuser" />
<entry key="JMS_JDBC" value="OFF" />
<entry key="Side" value="BUY" />
<entry key="HEALTH_MONITOR_CRITICAL_DISK_SPACE" value="500" />
<entry key="HEALTH_MONITOR_WARNING_DISK_SPACE" value="750" />
<entry key="HEALTH_MONITOR_PERIOD" value="600000" />
</map>
</node>
</node>
</node>
</node>
</root>
</preferences>
the goal is to have a form where i can view and update the "value" of following:
TM_PORT
TM_PORT2
SubID
UserDBUsr
JMS_JDBC
Side
HEALTH_MONITOR_CRITICAL_DISK_SPACE
HEALTH_MONITOR_WARNING_DISK_SPACE
HEALTH_MONITOR_PERIOD
I have searched around this forum but could not find an example.
it would be cool if I could also load the an xml file into the clob.
Thank you.

Hi,
I think you just study first the topics about XML DB to understand how to manupulate xml data in the database.
See:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/xml/xmldb/index.html
and
XML DB

i am trying to update XML data stored in CLOB cloumn,data is stored with the follwoing format
<attrs><attr name="name"><string>Schade</string></attr></attrs>
i am using the following query for updating the value

this query is working fine but it changing the data to the following format
<attrs><attr name="name">Schade</attr></attrs>
some how it is ommiting the <string> tag from it, i am unable to figure it out whats the reason.

Hi,
You should have created your own thread for this, and included database version.
This works for me on 11.2.0.2 and 10.2.0.5 :
SQL> create table t_org ( xml_clob clob );
Table created
SQL>
SQL> insert into t_org
2 values(
3 '<Message>
4 <Entity>
5 <ASSIGNMENT>
6 <OAVendorLocation> </OAVendorLocation>
7 <Vendorid>1</Vendorid>
8 </ASSIGNMENT>
9 </Entity>
10 </Message>'
11 );
1 row inserted
SQL> commit;
Commit complete
SQL> select '*' ||
2         extractvalue(xmltype(xml_clob),'/Message/Entity/ASSIGNMENT/OAVendorLocation')
3         || '*' as result
4 from t_org;
RESULT
SQL> update t_org set xml_clob =
2 updatexml(xmltype(xml_clob),
3 '/Message/Entity/ASSIGNMENT/OAVendorLocation/text()','LONDON').getClobVal()
4 ;
1 row updated
SQL> select '*' ||
2         extractvalue(xmltype(xml_clob),'/Message/Entity/ASSIGNMENT/OAVendorLocation')
3         || '*' as result
4 from t_org;
RESULT
*LONDON*
Does the OAVendorLocation really have a whitespace value?
If not then it's expected behaviour, you're trying to update a text() node that doesn't exist. In this case, the solution is to use appendChildXML to create the text() node, or update the whole element.
Is it your real document? Do you actually have some namespaces?

How to read XML data stored in CLOB in Concurrent prog Output

Hi All,
I'm trying to Generate the XML Data as concurrent Program output. I have a PL/SQL package which generated the XML data by using SQL/XML functions. I'm storing the generated XML data in a CLOB variable. But when i try to read the data using fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.OUTPUT,XML_Data) it doesn't display data more than 32767 bytes.
Please help me out to understand what could be done to read the data in chunks. I have tried many logic's to print chunks of data but the output tags are either chopped off and errors out saying Tag not found.
My logic is as below:
v_handler:= DBMS_XMLGEN.newContext(v_xml_query);
--Sets NULL handling options
DBMS_XMLGen.SetNullHandling(v_handler, dbms_xmlgen.EMPTY_TAG ) ;
--Set special character handling
DBMS_XMLGEN.setConvertSpecialChars(v_handler, TRUE);
-- Specified whether to use an XML attribute to indicate NULLness of particular entity in the XML document
DBMS_XMLGen.useNullAttributeIndicator(v_handler,TRUE);
-- set Checking invalid chars
DBMS_XMLGEN.setCheckInvalidChars(v_handler, TRUE);
-- get the xml data as required
v_xml_data:= DBMS_XMLGEN.getXMLtype(v_handler);
SELECT XMLROOT(v_xml_data.extract('/*'),VERSION '1.0').getClobVal() into v_new_xml_Data from dual;
-- get the length of the xml generated
v_clob_len := dbms_lob.getlength(v_new_xml_Data);
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.LOG,'The Clob length is :'|| v_clob_len);
-- logic to process string more than 32767 Processing by each character
v_offset :=1;
while (v_offset <= v_clob_len)
LOOP
v_char := dbms_lob.substr(v_new_xml_Data, 1, v_offset);
IF (v_char = CHR(10))
then
fnd_file.new_line(fnd_file.output, 1);
else
fnd_file.put(fnd_file.output, v_char);
end if;
v_offset := v_offset + 1;
END LOOP;
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.LOG,'The offset is :'|| v_offset);
FND_FILE.NEW_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT, 1);
THe above logic is for character by character which is a performance burden? Please let me know if there is any other work around for this

Hi,
Thanks for Replying. I have refered http://blog.oraclecontractors.com/?p=69 and then i added that piece of code. Basically, i'm trying to generate a report using XML publisher. To generate the XML data i'm writing a pl/sql package with SQl/XML functions. DBMS_XMLGEN would help me convert the XML Data as is. When the concurrent program runs this XML data will merge with RTF layout and generate required report. I'm able to generate the Report for data less then 32767 bytes. More than the limit i need to pass chunks of XML data to read as output. That's the reason i'm using fnd_file.output. But it reads only 32767 size at a time.
WHen i use the given logic, it works perfectly fine, but it loops for each character, for example if you have 30,000 characters it loops the same, which is peformance burden.
So i tried to write the logic of chunks but still i get the error that XML tag is not found or missing. I'm hoping this is very common issue, but after all my trails, i didn't find the right solution.
the other logic i tried was :
v_new_xml_data varchar2(32767)
v_iterations := CEIL(v_clob_len/v_chunk_length); -- v_chunk_length is 32767 and v_clob_length is length of the XML data stored inthe clob variable
For i in 0..v_iterations
LOOP
FND_FILE.put_line (fnd_file.log,'the loops v_pos :'||i||' and v_clob_length :'||v_clob_len);
v_new_xml_data := DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR ( V_XML_DATA,v_chunk_length,(i*v_chunk_length)+1);
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE (FND_FILE.OUTPUT,v_new_xml_data); -- read the output for every 32767 chunks
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.LOG, 'Chunk length is :'||((i*v_chunk_length)+1));
END LOOP;
FND_FILE.put_line (fnd_file.log,'out of loop');
FND_FILE.put_line (fnd_file.log,'length of new xml is '||v_clob_len);
Please, let me know if you need Further clarifications on the same.

See XML updating functions : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e23094/xdb04cre.htm#i1032611
For example :
UPDATE my_table t
SET t.my_clob =
      XMLSerialize(document
        insertChildXML(
          XMLParse(document t.my_clob)
        , '/Activity/Spawned'
        , 'Activity'
        , XMLElement("Activity", 'Some GUID')
WHERE ...
;Although it works, there's overhead introduced by parsing the CLOB, then serializing again.
Is there any chance you can change the CLOB to SECUREFILE binary XMLType storage instead?
You would then be able to benefit from optimized piecewise update of the XML and improved storage.

Export XML data from a CLOB field using sql developer

I have a table that contains a CLOB field, each record is a complete XML in itself. After running the select query i am exporting this data by right clicking on the answer set, while the export completes the data for each record gets truncated.
When i chose to save the export in loader format i get the complete records but now there are n files created for n records exported.
Is there a way i can get alll the records in a single file wirthout any truncation.
Thanks in advance!

You might try delimited format or csv, with no enclosures if desired.

Change the Report Title for XML Publisher, depending on the field value.

I want to change the Report Title as below.
if the field_A='B' then the report title as it is defined in report defination
else the report title is 'XXX"
Please let me know whether it is possible, if yes please guide me. how can we do it.
Thanks
Venkat

Tim covered the inline if statement, though not specifically regarding a title, in his blog recently:
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2007/12/18#a723
The syntax is:
xdoxslt:ifelse(.//WM_FLAG='C’,'Canceled','Approved')

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..
can you pls help me

POHeader details are working fine. But when i get the POItemDetails i am getting 'ARSH1332ARSH1332ARSH1556' when i issue the command
select a.extract('/PODetails/POItemDetails/ItemID/text()').getStringVal() ItemID
FROM xmltable a
WHERE a.existsnode('//POItemDetails/ItemID')=1
Pls Help..

Intermedia text search in XML document stored as CLOB

Suppose i store an XML document as clob
and i index it based on the tags ie
if i have the followind table
create table biodata (
resume_id number primary key,
content clob default empty_clob(),
applicant_id number references
applicants(id));
and i stores various resumes in the clob (content column ) as xml document ie
<experience_in_months> 22 </experience_in_months>
Now if i want all the resume_id that that have experiences_in_months >= 10
what would be the query that would fetch me this result?

We are storing data in XML format in an Oracle database (via CLOB). I can retrieve search results using the 'within' phrase, but am finding it hard to order them. Is there a utility or command I can use?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Maybe you should write a stored procedure (function )
that extracts the section from your clob
that should be sorted. Then use this function
in the ORDER clause of your select statement.

Absense of xml tags and blank text fields

I am a new user to LiveCycle and am trying to create a document that will not display the text field if the corresponding xlm tag is not provided.
I seem to be able to do this if the text field is wrapped in a subform, but as this document has many text fields it simply would not be efficient to wrap every field independantly. Currently, I have subforms consisting of multiple text fields. Each of these text fields are bound and the subform they are in is flowed and is set to repeating with no minimum or maximum records required.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
I don't think there is a particularly easy way to do this, you can add some code in the initialise event, something like;
if (this.dataNode.isNull)
this.presence = "hidden";
You can use this.dataNode to reference the value the field is bound to..
If you have lots of fields and If your users are using Reader 9.1 then you can use event propagation,

Otherwise you can try doing something with proto elements.
Hope this helps,

Way to find XML Tag name from RDF

Hi
Is there some way by which simply looking at fields in RDF, we can find out what XML Tag will be used by the data shown by it. Actually I am using a RDF's output for my XML report. Finding XML tag for a particular field is difficult job.
Thanks for your help.

Got It :-) Just check the data source of field and that is the XML tag. Thanks

Using xmldom.writeToClob to update xml clob corrupts clob

We are storing an xml document in a clob field in the db. As part of a data check we need to parse the xml and possibly remove a node. I can do that, and check the results using 'xmldom.writeToBuffer'.
When I try to write the data back to the db using 'xmldom.writeToClob' I get strange results. Data seems to be appended to the end of the clob and contains chr(13) characters at the end of each line.
Also does anyone know if the existence of whitespace in the xml clob would cause a parse/search to be slower?
I am new to xml and might be missing something fairly basic in the following code. Thanks in advance for any help.
Here is some of the code:
doc xmldom.DOMDocument;
curNode xmldom.DOMNode;
parentNode xmldom.DOMNode;
theNodeList xmldom.DOMNodeList;
str varchar2(4000);
begin
-- open xml_rec cursor (xml is the clob field opened for update)
-- Loop through all item elements
theNodeList := xmldom.getElementsByTagName(doc, 'item');
for m in 0..xmldom.getLength(theNodeList)-1 loop
curNode := xmldom.item(theNodeList,m);
--perform a check and possibly delete the current node
parentNode := xmldom.getParentNode(curNode);
parentNode := xmldom.removechild(parentNode, curNode);
xmldom.writeToBuffer(doc, str);
--I check the results here and everything looks good
xmldom.writeToClob(doc, xml_rec.xml);
--When I check the clob the data is incorrect.
null

The next cod is a sample of the implementation xmldom.writeToClob used xmldom.DOMNode in the parameter of input.
DECLARE
XMLOut CLOB := EMPTY_CLOB();
XMLIn Varchar2(2000);
XSLPath Varchar2(2000);
BEGIN
DBMS_LOB.CREATETEMPORARY(XMLOut,TRUE); -- Give permit
DBMS_LOB.OPEN (XMLOut, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READWRITE); --open the file of read and write
XSLPath := '/users/gcardona/plantillas/report.xsl';
GE_BSXMLCONVERT.createElementName('COLUMN');
GE_BSXMLCONVERT.createElementAttribute('name', 'OUTXML');
GE_BSXMLCONVERT.addElement();
GE_BSXMLCONVERT.createElementName('table');
GE_BSXMLCONVERT.createElementAttribute('name', 'X1');
GE_BSXMLCONVERT.createElementAttribute('width', '100');
GE_BSXMLCONVERT.addElement();
XMLIn := GE_BSXMLCONVERT.toXML();
XSLTranform(XMLIn, XSLPath, XMLOut);--XMLOut is a variable in out in the procedure,
--here is where is return the file XML Process
insert into in_prueba (ID,XML_CLOB) values (200, XMLOut);
DBMS_LOB.CLOSE (XMLOut); -- Close File
DBMS_LOB.FREETEMPORARY(XMLOut); --free memory
GE_BSXMLCONVERT.clearMemory();

Fetching the data in XML tags

Hi,
I am working on an upgrade from 11i to R12 on a Custom Payment Format Report.
I need to upgrade the XML tags in .rtf file so that the desired values are displayed in pdf output.
How can I fetch the values returned by a function in the report in the XML tag.
Do I need to create custom tags for it? If yes then how and if No then kindly guide me how to fetch the values returned by the Function in the Report through the XML tag in R12 upgrade.
Also kindly tell me how to use the substring function in such case.
Regards,
Karan

Please check the Oracle Database 10g: XML DB Developer's Guild for example.

Form or form on report to update XML tagS stored in CLOB field.
