How to save XML from a CLOB to a text file (size over 32767 chars)

Hi,
I am trying to export a table into an XML file. Using various examples, I have learned that is really easy to handle objects smaller that 32767 bytes (characters).
The problem is working with big chunks. My XML CLOB is just over 10 MB in size. I can easilly break it into smaller pieces but then I risk to write chr(10) in the middle of a XML Tag (which happened). I have an idea of finding a way around the problem but there are two issues:
1. DBMS_LOB.instr function returns 0 if offset grows above appx 1100.
2. I tried this in oreder to avid the limitation from item 1.:
for c = 1..dbms_lob.getlength(CLOB) loop
dbms_lob.read(CLOB,c,1,MyString);
if MyString = chr(10) then
utl_file.put_line(MyLine);
MyLine := '';
else
MyLine := MyLine || MyString;
end if;
end loop;
This way I generate perfect XML structure, and it takes about an hour of cpu time to create 2.3 MB file. I have tried to run ir for a big one, and it took just over 7 hours to get to 10.2 MB when I had shut it down.
Does anybody has any suggestions?

Getting question marks in html output when XML sourced from a CLOB...

I have noticed a number of other unanswered questions on the
same subject in this forum. Can someone at Oracle shed some
light on this problem?...
I store XML in CLOBS which contain a lot of é ö
characters. When using XSQL to select the XML from the CLOB I
have to apply a stylesheet to the XSQL (myFile.xsql) with
disable-output-escaping ="yes" in order to output well formed
XML.
I then call the XSQL file from inside another stylesheet i.e.
<xsl:variable name="sample" select="document(myFile.xsql)"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="$sample">
<html>
<body>
<title>
<xsl:value-of select="/page/title"/>
</title>
</body>
</html>
etc...
I use <xsl:for-each select="$sample"> to output the XML I need,
within the HTML. The problem is though if "é" appears in
the /page/title node the output in HTML appears as a question
mark.
Its important to note as well that the stylesheet I apply to
myFile.xsql starts with:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output doctype-system="/myFile.dtd" indent="yes"/>
etc..
and myFile.dtd has <!ENTITY eacute "é"> in order to
validate é in the CLOB.
I don't have this problem when the é character is stored
in a VARCHAR2 column and the VARCHAR2 column is in the same
select statement as the CLOB in the XSQL file. This outputs in
my HTML just fine. What am I missing here?

I parse the XML doc into a domdocument and then loop through using xpath.valueof to pull the individual values from the nodes and then build a generic insert. It works quite well with a small number of columns. I'm not sure how it would work with a lot of columns. You can get code examples from Steve Muench's book "Developing Oracle XML Applications".

Can we compare CLOB (xml received from upstream sources)

can we compare CLOB ( xml received from upstream sources) for particular business date's CLOB data with another business date in OBIEE.

Not sure, have to verify.Checkout the below link for a workaround in 10g

Substring between two words from a clob

How to extract a string between two words from a clob variable in PL/SQL?

My requirement is to extract the soap envelope from a clob. In the below code l_response returned from the http request is a clob with the below format. I need to extract all the text that is between '<s:Envelope' and 's:Envelope>'. That means I need to get rid of the first 5 lines and the last line from the l_response. Can you please help me with the logic?

How to populate target directory from the source XML in Receiver File Adap?

Hi All,
Our scenario is IDoc - XI -(Receiver File adapter) File. Is it possible to populate complete "Target Directory" from the source XML message??
Lets say we added field to maintain target directory in Idoc structure and some how populated value to it, then grab this target directory from the IDoc-XML and pass in Comunication Channel. I think its possible through Variable Substitation ...just want to make sure and if sombody has done the similar scenario their inputs would be great.
Thanx

Change over from a simple Xml call to a rpc-Http call ....

Hi there,
I need to change over from a simple Xml call:
<mx:XML id="urlsGeneral" source="http://www.mySite.com//.../AFS.xml"/>
to a rpc-Http call which is updating the readout if Xml is changed at any time.
I forgot to mention the most important item yet a very simple one: I need this only to be displayed in a title etc, and NOT a datagrid or else example below.
title="{urlsGeneral.urlGeneral.(@name==0).age}
I tried a lot today, but just can't get it right as the id="urlsGeneral" is always the problem.
Any help would be appriciated !!! Thanks in advance. regards aktell2007
<urlsGeneral>
<urlGeneral>
<name>Jim</name>
<age>32</age>
</urlGeneral>
<urlGeneral>
<name>Jim</name>
<age>32</age>
</urlGeneral>
</urlsGeneral>
Another call:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
public var myData:ArrayCollection;
protected function myHttpService_resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {
myData = event.result.urlsGeneral.urlGeneral;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:HTTPService
id="myHttpService"
url="http://www.mySite.com//..../AFS.xml"
result="myHttpService_resultHandler(event)"/>
Preferable I wanted something like this to work:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
import mx.managers.CursorManager;
import mx.controls.Alert;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
import mx.rpc.xml.SimpleXMLDecoder;

private var myHTTP:HTTPService;
private function initConfigCall():void {
myHTTP = new HTTPService();
myHTTP.url = "com/assets/data/changesAppAIRPIOne001.xml";
myHTTP.send();
myHTTP.resultFormat = "xml";
myHTTP.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, resultHandler);
myHTTP.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, faultHandler);
CursorManager.setBusyCursor();
private function resultHandler(evt:ResultEvent):void {
var xmlStr:String = evt.result.toString();
var xmlDoc:XMLDocument = new XMLDocument(xmlStr);
var decoder:SimpleXMLDecoder = new SimpleXMLDecoder(true);
var resultObj:Object = decoder.decodeXML(xmlDoc);
// Removed [0] on single node !
appUpdateAvl.text = resultObj.application.configApp.appNewUpDate;
appLastChanged.text = resultObj.application.configApp.appLastChanged;
appChangedSections.text = resultObj.application.configApp.appChangedSections;
CursorManager.removeBusyCursor();
myHTTP.disconnect();
private function faultHandler(event:mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent):void {
var faultInfo:String="fault details: "+event.fault.faultDetail+"\n\n";
faultInfo+="fault faultString: "+event.fault.faultString+"\n\n";
mx.controls.Alert.show(faultInfo,"Fault Information");
var eventInfo:String="event target: "+event.target+"\n\n";
eventInfo+="event type: "+event.type+"\n\n";

Hi again,
These days there are more quetions than answeres on any forum, and very seldom anybody shares the answer if they lucky enough to work it out so here is my answer for the above question
Change over from a simple Xml call to a rpc-Http call ....
I had it all along as a commend noted: // Removed [0] on single node !
So instead of title="{urlsGeneral.urlGeneral.(@name==0).age} it would be now title="{resultObj.urlsGeneral.urlGeneral.[0].age} and now it works perfectly well. I hope that one or the other of you can use the answer and the code !!! regards aktell2007

Problems in XML to text

I'm using Xalan to perform XSLT from XML to text file.
As I need to format the text file with carriage return at the end of every string pattern produced, I declare a variable in my XSL as a new-line character.
It works fine if I use a XSLT GUI tool (based on MS Parser SDK) but not using Xalan parser in my Java program. Somehow the newline charache
Here is a portion of my sample Java program:
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer oTransformer = tFactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(new File("C:\\actions\\transform\\", sXSLFilename)));
StreamSource oXMLSource = new StreamSource(
new StringReader(new String(aData)), "C:\\xslt\\OFT_COMP.dtd");
StreamResult oResult = new StreamResult(oStrWriter);
oTransformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD, "text");
oTransformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "ISO-8859-1");
oTransformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "no");
oTransformer.transform(oXMLSource, oResult);
aOutputXMLData = oStrWriter.toString().getBytes();
Does anybody know what's the problem? Or any other suggestions on performing this kind of "newline" separator?
Thanks in advance.

easiest just use a stylesheet to transform the xml to text... and use:
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
for carriage return

Hey Patrick / Vlad thank you very much for your help :)
I have solved it like this:
Within my proxy in Message Flow (*using Routing -- Route -- Response Action*)
I'm using the elements Assing and Replace
In Assing element (expression: Person-response.xq, variable: varBStoPS)
In Replace element (xpath : executeResponse/executeReturn/text() , in Variable: body, expression:
*$varBStoPS*)
Now, within Person-Response.xq , I am using the parameter: *$anyType1*, but this is a string, I don´t know to use a FOR loop in Xquery, as I can apply it to the XML mapping (Person.xsd)?, Knowing I get the list:
*+<example-data rows="1"><person><id>123</id><name>JHON</name><surname>MAGNESS</surname>+*
*+<code>123456789V</code></person></example-data>+*

How to merge multiple XML or Text documents into 1 Word Document?

Hi all,
We're looking for a way to merge multiple XML or Text documents into 1 Word document.
All the XML or Text documents are oriented as a 'Paragraph', meaning smaller pieces of text.
By selecting some of these XML documents, the system should be able to create a new Word document with all the selected text paragraphs included.
The Word document can then be edited for applying a correct lay-out and the document is ready.
Actually, we are trying to do some kind of 'mail merge' but with multiple XML or Text documents!
Has anybody an idea whether something exist already or give us a direction how to proceed?
Thanks in advance,
Pascal Decock

You use Assembler for this purpose.
1) Assembler can be accessed through LC Java API. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/enterpriseplatform/10.0/programLC/help/index.html
API Quick Starts (Code Examples) > Assembler Service API Quick Starts
2) Last week I posted on generating and merging PDF's from PostScript. Take a look at the assembly service instance in the .lca. Assembler uses DDX (Document Description XML) to describe document construction. NOTE the .lca was developed with ES 3 (aka ADEP). The .lca It contains the most basic DDX.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/">

<PDF source="inDoc1"/>
<PDF source="inDoc2"/>
</PDF>
</DDX>

Converting data from a clob to RTF in Oracle Reports

Hello
I have created a table in my database and one of the columns is a CLOB , data in the CLOB i've copied from a word document .
I've created a report that has to retrieve the value from the CLOB in RTF output, the problem is that the output is in binary format .
If someone can help me i relly appreciate.
Another thing , i tried saving a doc file into a html file , opening the html file with a notepad , and the content of the notepad putting into a CLOB , after putting in the text into the first tab 'text' i've checked the html tab and it appears to be ok in plsql dev,in report I used on the field properties that contains html tags = yes . But the output was not the same as in the CLOB tab html , it had other formatting and looked totally different , i'm almost sure that the problem is from tags , but modifying them takes too much time and I have too many reports that i must make in word and i cannot work on modifying the tags.
PS: I use Oracle Reports 6i
Anyone knows an alternative method for putting data from a doc document into a clob and making a query in reports that retrieves the value of the clob , and the output has to be rtf or pdf ?
Thank you in advance

XML Loaded Text Inconsistently Displays Apostrophe

i have a number of dynamic text fields, all of which have
text loaded from their respective xml files.
one of the menu items includes an apostrophe. that apostrophe
shows up in one area of the site but not in another where it is
replaced by ' .
these two sections are identical. both dynamic text boxes
with xml loaded text. one works one doesn't.
i've double checked everything. everything is embedded, i
have no idea what the problem is.
any ideas?
if you want to see what i'm talking about go
here and select WORK. JAMIES
ORGANIC TREATS has no apostrophe because i took it out - it gets
converted to ' in this location. but if you select JAMIES
ORGANIC TREATS the name pops up in the new section correctly WITH
the apostrophe.
they are separate text fields with separate xml files but all
of them are treated the same.
Flash CS3 Flash Player 8 AS2
Mac 10.5

*SOLVED*
i went back in and enabled html on the text box and changed
all of the .text to .htmlTxt and it worked. also added the cdata
tags.
but any idea why the apostrophe works correctly in the other
instance?

Removing Characterset from a Clob

Hi guys,
I have a clob of xmltype data, I was wondering, what is the best way to 'sanitize' the clob for any illegal xml characters? For example, I keep hitting the degree symbol and it will bust my document.
Thanks in advance!

I keep hitting the degree symbol and it will bust my document.The degree symbol (and many other <i>uncommon</i> characters) don't impose any difficulty with xml:
SQL> with t as (
2 select '1é23!abc@45°6' str from dual union all
3 select '1é23!abc@45°6<>' str from dual
4 )
5 --
6 --
7 select xmlelement(e, str) xml from t
8 /
XML
<E>1é23!abc@45°6</E>
<E>1é23!abc@45°6&lt;&gt;</E>
SQL>what is your issue exactly?

Hi Philip
Thanks for replying me.
I tried on that way, In my mdx query i am using one slice attribute (i.e [Customer].[Gender].allmembers) in rows so getting error "The Hierarchy already appears in Axis1".
SELECT
{[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] } ON 0,
NON EMPTY
{[Customer].[Gender].allmembers } ON 1 -- Used
FROM
[Adventure Works]
WHERE
[Customer].[Gender].&[M]
,[Product].[Size Range].[(All)]
,[Customer].[Country].[All Customers]
[Customer].[Gender].[All Customers]
,[Product].[Size Range].&[XL]
,[Customer].[Country].[All Customers]
[Customer].[Gender].[All Customers]
,[Product].[Size Range].[(All)]
,[Customer].[Country].&[Australia]
Can you provide alternate ways to get resolved.
Thanks in advance
