Functions needed in Data Template for XML output

Hi ,
Are there any oracle functions like abs() available
in data_template to be used as follows
group name="listItem" source="Q2">
<element name="amount" value="abs(amount)"/>
<element name="serialNumber" value="TXN_SERIAL_NO"/>
I want the absolute value of the amount .
OR
Can I HIDE the xml Element like
<element name="amount" value="amount"/> (i want to hide this tag in output?)
Please do not suggest to do the same in the SQL query as I am using the SQL query to do something else and resolve another issue.

You can do this abs in Template.
use xdoxslt:abs or abs from xsl.
if you want the data in the xml to habe absolute value , then write pl/sql package to this .
<element name="amount" value="yourpcakage.yourabs(amount)"/>
or do it in sql query, which you dont want to.

It's really a little difficult to answer your question without a bit more information. What version of JDeveloper are you using? What's your technology stack?
If this is JDeveloper 11+g+, with the Fusion technology stack, you can use a technique like the one described here:
http://groundside.com/blog/GrantRonald.php?title=jdeveloper_11_business_services_cascadin&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
If it's JDeveloper 10.1.3, with the default Web technology stack, look here:
http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2004/09/23/notYetDocumentedAdfSampleApplications.html#62
If, as it looks like, this is really a question about generic JSPs (no JSF), you might actually have a bit more success on a generic JSP forum--using scriptlets hasn't really been best practices within JDev since...well, since JSTL became available, really. That was a number of years ago.
Like I said, there's really no direct way to use Javascript output in a scriptlet--unless you mean something like storing Javascript output in a hidden field, and using the value in a scriptlet on the next request. But by the time Javascript runs, any scriptlet from the current request will already have executed.

I Need Matrix Report Template for XML

can any one give me matrix report tample for XML

Numbers does not have anything specifically called an event registration template. There are several options:
1) search using your favorite search engine (google found quite a few hits when I searched using "Event Registration Template"
2) build your own in Numbers
Option (2) shouldn't be too difficult.
It could look something like:

Hi Vladimir
Can you test the data template posted here. http://static7.userland.com/oracle/gems/leslieStuddard/EMPLOYEES.xml
It needs to connect to the sample scott schema, hopefully you have it installed?
Let me know if you get the same error.

Data template with xml over http

Hi!
I have a data template what should get data from xml file.
<dataTemplate name="ccbXML" description="For xml output">
<properties>
<property name="debug_mode" value="on"/>
<property name="include_parameters" value="true"/>
<property name="include_null_Element" value="true"/>

<url method="GET" realm="" username="" password="">http://my.site.sise/00000000070000000001.xml</url>
</xml>
</dataQuery>
</dataTemplate>
The result is:
<CCBXML>
<LIST_data_xml></LIST_data_xml>
</CCBXML>
When I use:
<url method="GET" realm="" username="" password="">file:///D:\files\result.xml</url>
then I get a parsal result from the XML (it is not structuated and it does not show all the xml content, only random tag's).
In the end it is not possible for me to use the file protocol because the xml is generated dynamically in a http page. Is it even possible to use the http protocol in data template? Or is anything else wrong with my data template that I'm not getting the right result (even with file:///)?

How to modify Data Template ARXSGPO.xml

We are on EBS 12.1.1. My client want to customize AR Customer Balance Statement Letter. They need rtf to be modified as well as some additional info for which I need to modify Data Template ARXSGPO.xml .
But I am not able to modify above xml file. Update File button has been disabled. Could someone tell me how I can update existing xml file ?
Thanks in Advance

Hi
You could use the XDOLoader command to upload data templates.
http://bipublisher.blogspot.com/2008/01/bi-publisher-xdo-loader.html
But it would be better if you could create a custom report and attach the new date template, instead of modifying the standard report.

What should i put in Schme while creating Data server for XML

I am new to XML and ODI also.
I was trying to create a data server for XML technology.
I don't know what should i specify as a schmea in JDBC URL.
e.g. jdbc:snps:xml?f=../demo/xml/1/file.xml&ro=false&ldoc=true&case_sens=true&s=LEO_FIZ&dod=true
here schema is LEO_FIZ, so my doubts is LEO_FIZ is a database schema or what ??
Please help me out.

The schema referred to here is going to be used by the XML driver for the instantiation of the temporary schema used for the xml data. It can be any name, I recommend you keep it short, as if you use an external database for the XML data instantiation it is used as a part of the "table" names.

Error of Creating Data Server for XML

Hi all,
When I want to create a new data server for XML in ODI, the error occur.
error information:
connection failed
java.sql.SQLException: Unexpected token: EMP_TABLE in statement [create EMP_TABLE]
My JDBC url is: jdbc:snps:xml?f=../demo/xml/MOP/MOPEMP.xml&rt=Export&ro=false&case_sens=true&s=EMP
It seems that the error is caused by the schema "EMP". But when I changed the name of schema, the error still occur...
Could you give me some advices about this?

Calling a package function in the data template

Hello All,
I am not able to understand the concept of calling a function from the data template.
In my data template, I put the sql statement as
<sqlStatement name="Q_SEL">
<![CDATA[ Select l_period_name PERIOD_NAME
from xla_tb_ap_report_pvt.get_period_name(1) ]]>
</sqlStatement>
Is it possible to call a specific package function as shown above in a select statement?
I am getting the message "ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended" when I tried with the above. Could you pls. point out what the error is in the above sqlStatement?
1) My instance is R12.1.3
2) The base pkg function 'xla_tb_ap_report_pvt.get_period_name' expects a number to be passed in as 'IN' parameter.
Thanks,
Monkey

I tried another version of the sql statement (after going through some older posts) like:
<sqlStatement name="Q_SEL">
<![CDATA[ Select xla_tb_ap_report_pvt.get_period_name(1) PERIOD_NAME
from dual]]>
</sqlStatement>
My group is :
<group name="G_PERIOD_NAME" source="Q_SEL">
<element name="PERIOD_NAME" value="PERIOD_NAME"/>
</group>
Now getting the error message:
ORA-00904: xla_tb_ap_report_pvt.get_period_name : invaild identifier
What is it that i am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Monkey

Need 2010 calendar template for Indesign CS

I am trying to do a calendar for a high school and need a 2010 template for Indesign CS. I can find it for every other version of Indesign but not the plain Creative Suite version.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thankx

Not likely. CS is very old and you should note that once CS5 comes, if the upgrade policy remains the same, you won't be eligible for upgrade pricing anymore.

I need tables for prepare the master data templates for PM

Dear Experts,
can we prepare the master data templates by using the tables? if its possible means how we can prepare and what we have to considered ? is it right way or wrong?
please suggest me to prepare the masterdata templates for ever use. if any small corrections we can correct it at usage time.
please help me
thanks a lot in advance

Dear Jalu,
Master data Templates have to be prepared based on Client's requirement after understanding their Business.
For example, in Equipment master there are ~ 60 to 70 feilds, no client requires all of them. Some are inherited.
After client requirement freezing, record LSMW and based on that prepare the Template.

MLN Prasad

FUNCTION Variable within Data Template

Hi Im calling a function within my sql and i want to use the result as a bind variable.... here goes...
Data Template...... XML
<sqlStatement name="Q1">
<![CDATA[select function_name(ppp.id) the_main_one,
:the_main_one + 10 new_value
from per_ppp]]>
</sqlStatement>
I get null value .... but from the_main_one i get a value..... any ideas... i checked for number and nvl(,0) and all that no luck
is there a grouping thing involved here... where as i need to call the function from within another sql statement...

It can be done.
Step 1: Setup package.
Step 2: Create a global variable for your function value
Step 3: Before the calling function returns the value, set a global variable (placeholder)
Step 4: Create a new function that returns the global variable, make sure it's after the first function call. Returning the value you might want to reset the global variable to null....
Your good to go.
