Generate lowercase XML tags

Hi,
In my PL/SQL procedures, I generate XML files based on SQL queries, like this:
SELECT XMLELEMENT ("web_vpreparations",
XMLAGG(
XMLELEMENT ("web_vpreparation",
XMLFOREST (CODE as "code",
COMMERCIAL_NAME as "commercial_name",
As you can see, I rename my column names to their lower-case equivalents, because the client-side application which processes the XML file expects them to be in lower-case.
I now have a huge view with hundreds of columns and would like to avoid having to rename each one. Is there a chance I can tell the PL/SQL or the SQL to return the XML nodes in lower-case?
Suggestions on the "SQL and PL/SQL" and "XML DB" forums range from using XMLTable (incompatible with 9i, which some of my customers have) to transforming the generated XML via XSLT (I'd rather change the client-side code than add so much extra processing). Also, I see that DBMS_XMLGEN has a function called useLowerCaseTagNames(); but that means dumping XML/SQL for DBMS_XMLGEN, which - according to Ken Atkins' "XML Data Into and Out of Oracle – Using PL/SQL" - is limited in use for "real World" projects.
I'm currently learning PL/SQL, experimenting with all the possibilities, and seeking the best solutions for the long-term (in terms of development time, performance, functionality, support).
I'll appreciate any help on this problem.
Chris.

Does anyone know if XMLFormat passed to SYS_XMLGEN can convert the tags to lowercase? Its processingIns (processing instructions) parameter seems like it might help, but I'm unable to find a good description/example on the Web...

Generate own xml tags

Hi,
I have to generate an xml file out of a table in oracle.
Thats my test function
DECLARE
queryCtx dbms_xmlquery.ctxType;
result CLOB;
BEGIN
-- set up the query context
queryCtx := dbms_xmlquery.newContext('Select
empno "EMP_NO"
, ename "NAME"
, deptno "DEPT_NO" from test_emp'
-- set row tag name and row set tag name
dbms_xmlquery.setRowTag(
queryCtx
, 'EMP'
dbms_xmlquery.setRowSetTag(
queryCtx
, 'EMPSET'
-- run query and print out result
result := dbms_xmlquery.getXml(queryCtx);
printClobOut(result);
-- free resources
dbms_xmlquery.closeContext(queryCtx);
END;
the result is an xml like that:
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<EMPSET>
<EMP num="1">
<EMP_NO>7369</EMP_NO>
<NAME>Smith</NAME>
<DEPT_NO>20</DEPT_NO>
</EMP>
</EMPSET>
but now i have to set own tags around a row in the table... for example:
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<EMPSET>
<EMP num="1">
<ownTag>
<EMP_NO>7369</EMP_NO>
<NAME>Smith</NAME>
<DEPT_NO>20</DEPT_NO>
</ownTag>
</EMP>
</EMPSET>
I searched now around two hours and nothing found..
can anybody help me

Generating target XML tag from a value in the Source XML document

Hi there,
I have a scenario where the following transformation needs to occur:
Source Message...
<Catalogue>
<key>abc<\key>
<value>123<\value>
<key>def<\key>
<value>456<\value>
<\Catalogue>
Target Message...
<Catalogue>
<abc>123<\abc> --> Value of KEY becomes the XML tag and the VALUE gets assigned to it
<def>456<\abc>
<\Catalogue>
The target message is written to an xml file using the receiver file adapter.
I would like the target message generation to be dynamic so that when a new key-value pair is added, it would not require a change in the XI mapping layer. Is there a way to accomplish this without having to code or enhance the adapter. I am trying to avoid doing this in the mapping because that would mean changing the mapping every time a new key-value pair needs to be added.
Any suggestions to accomplish this are welcome.
Thanks all.

Hi,
I doubt if it will work for you. you can generate dynamic values using this but not tags dynamically. You need to see if there are any methods to generate tags dynamically.
One way of doing this is by using Java Mapping and playing around with InputStream and OutputStream.It will work for sure with this.
Thanks

Hi,
Here are two possible solutions :

I'm sorry for being so dense, but I'm not quite following, although what I've tried makes me think if I can follow you, it will work :)
To answer your initial questions, you are correct with both your assumptions:
1) detailType is the parameter that specificies YTD/Weekly, this is a "report defined" parameter that I am using to determine which Row Group to display (either YTD or Weekly)
2) SchoolDaysActiveWeek is the parameter that is being set to either true or false -- this is a field in the cube that states whether that record is for the current week or not
So in following your instructions, well that's the problem I'm not quite following :)
1) When you say Delete the SchoolDaysActiveWeek parameter from the report only, do you mean to mark the parameter as Hidden? If so, I've done this.
2) I'm not quite sure where to use the statement you provided me. You said to put it in the dataset, but I don't know which dataset. I assume you mean the "main" dataset (as opposed to the hidden dataset that gets generated when you mark a field
as a parameter). If this is the case, the only place I could see that would allow you to use such a statement is in the Filter section of the properties. I tried this, and it did not generate any errors, but it also kept my report groups from displaying
-- it just showed a blank report, so I think it probably wasn't bringing back any rows to populate them with.
I also tried going into the Expression section for the SchoolDaysActiveWeek parameter in the second screenshot and placing the statement there. When I did this and ran the report, I would get the following error:
The 'SchoolDaysActiveWeek' parameter is missing a value
So what am I missing!?
Also, thanks for taking the time to respond!!

URGENT start tag needs to be generated in xml output

I am getting the xml output as below
since my value for each element is empty doesn't generate the start tag. BUT I NEED START TAG also to be created with this xml file. What property need to specify while generating it thro' Transformer and TransformerFactory. Please help me
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<address>
<addressID/>
<streetNumber/>
<addressLine1/>
<addressLine2/>
<addressLine3/>
<city/>
<zipCode/>
<lastUpdatedUserID/>
<deletedFlag/>
<phoneNumber/>
<country/>
<state/>
</address>

I don't quite understand your question. You want to have the start tag of each element outputed or you want one root element start tag to be outputed?
If it's the first case, try separating start and end tags from your elements instead of having them combined, i.e. do the following:
replace
<addressLine1/>by
]<addressLine1>
</addressLine1>I don't know if this is the answer you expect, reply if not.

Generating xml tags with stored procedure

Hi Friends,
I have to create a xml report using procedure .the code is given here to generate xml tags.
create or replace procedure sri_xml (errbuff out varchar2,
retcode out number) as
/* create cursor to fetch the records*/
cursor c_emp is select empno,
ename,
deptno,
sal,
job
from emp;
begin
/* first line of xml data should be "<? xml version = "0.1"?>" */
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'<?xml version = "1.0" ?>');
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'<per_emp1>');
for c in c_emp loop
/* for each record create a group tag <gemp_name> at start */
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'<G_EMP_NAME>');
/*EMBEDD DATA BETWEEN XML TAGS */
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'<empno>' || c.empno || '</empno>');
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'<ename>' || c.ename || '</ename>');
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'<sal>' || c.sal || '</sal>');
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'</G_EMP_NAME>');
end loop;
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'</per_emp1>');
end;
i run the procedure in the concurrent program with output mode as text and i got the xml tags as the out put. i have created the template using the data definition and registered them in the xml publisher administer but i am unable to get the out put when i run the concurrent request it is giving the message "AUTHENTICATION FAILED".
please help me to solve the problem and to get the desired output with desired template.
thanks in advance,
siddam

Hi Siddam,
Please post your query on BI Publisher forum.
There are number of folks who can resolve the issue u faced.
Please go through the bi publisher developers guide and then design the report.
I am not sure about the process ur following for report development...i think you have to create data defination and rtf layout and then attach it to oracle xml administrator responsibility.

Kind Regards,
Praveen Reddy

Hi Praveen,
Are you trying to make the xml into a string? I think if you remove the first tag, it will either automagically reappear or it will throw and error as being poorly formed xml.
In general, you can remove the nodes by the use of indexes. Since you are operating at the root level, I am not sure how well it will work, but if your xml is in a property, you can reference the specific nodes by something like this: myXML.Output{/*[1]} which if you put it in a tracer will display the contents of the first node (or blank if there are child nodes). The node index can be dynamically set, but start with the simple hard coded one. I would also start at the lowest child level to verify that it is working properly (a tracer will display the contents specified by the index). You can also google xml indices (or indexes) and it will point to some other useful xml operators.
I suggest that you play around with it and also work with the Link Types (hint: removeXML).

Mike

Generating XML Tags in PLSQL using XMLELEMENT

Hi All,
I am trying to generate XML Tags using XMLELEMENT. Does anyone has an example for this. I have special characters in my DATA so the normal Concatenation does not work.........
Thanks In Advance.

try select xmlelement("ELEMENT_NAME",column)
into var
from dual;
var must be defined as xmltype

Using a variable value in CDATA for generating an XML type in Oracle

Hello,
I have prepared a function given below where I have some input variables & I have to generate one XML with those input variables as tag attribute value:
create or replace function NEW_PROJECT_DETAILS
( p_ReferenceId in varchar2 ,
p_Project_No in varchar2,
p_Project_Name in varchar2,
p_Project_Desc in varchar2 ,
p_Project_Type in varchar2,
p_Project_Location in varchar2,
p_Project_Status in varchar2 )
return xmltype
as
payload xmltype;
begin
dbms_output.put_line('Payload Started');
payload:= xmltype('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ProjectDetails>
<RefID>'||p_ReferenceId||'</RefID>
<ProjectNo>'||p_Project_No||'</ProjectNo>
<ProjectName>'||p_Project_Name||'</ProjectName>
<ProjectDesc>'||p_Project_Desc||'</ProjectDesc>
<ProjectType>'||p_Project_Type||'</ProjectType>
<ProjectLocation><![CDATA[p_Project_Location]]></ProjectLocation>
/* <ProjectLocation>'||p_Project_Location||'</ProjectLocation> */
<ProjectStatus>'||p_Project_Status||'</ProjectStatus>
</ProjectDetails>');
dbms_output.put_line('Payload Comp1');
return payload;
end;
This procedure works absolutely fine.
Now the problem which I am having is that the variable p_Project_Location has value like "6747:BBO&M SBV".
Due to the '*&*' in that value I have to use CDATA. But i dont know how to pass this variable directly in the CDATA in the XML.
Please help me with this asap.
Thanks & Regards,
Divya Aggarwal

Hi,
If you absolutely want to use a CDATA section, then :
payload:= xmltype('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ProjectDetails>
<RefID>'||p_ReferenceId||'</RefID>
<ProjectNo>'||p_Project_No||'</ProjectNo>
<ProjectName>'||p_Project_Name||'</ProjectName>
<ProjectDesc>'||p_Project_Desc||'</ProjectDesc>
<ProjectType>'||p_Project_Type||'</ProjectType>
<ProjectLocation><![CDATA['||p_Project_Location||']]></ProjectLocation>
<ProjectStatus>'||p_Project_Status||'</ProjectStatus>
</ProjectDetails>');Alternatively, you can escape non valid characters with DBMS_XMLGEN.CONVERT, e.g. :
payload:= xmltype('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ProjectDetails>
<RefID>'||p_ReferenceId||'</RefID>
<ProjectNo>'||p_Project_No||'</ProjectNo>
<ProjectName>'||p_Project_Name||'</ProjectName>
<ProjectDesc>'||p_Project_Desc||'</ProjectDesc>
<ProjectType>'||p_Project_Type||'</ProjectType>
<ProjectLocation>'||dbms_xmlgen.convert(p_Project_Location)||'</ProjectLocation>
<ProjectStatus>'||p_Project_Status||'</ProjectStatus>
</ProjectDetails>');which outputs :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ProjectDetails>
<RefID>1</RefID>
<ProjectNo>1</ProjectNo>
<ProjectName>PRJ1</ProjectName>
<ProjectDesc>This is project 1</ProjectDesc>
<ProjectType>P</ProjectType>
<ProjectLocation>6747:BBO&M SBV</ProjectLocation>
<ProjectStatus>S</ProjectStatus>
</ProjectDetails>Any basic XML parser should then convert back escaped characters when processing the document.
You can also use SQL/XML functions, which will take care of that automatically.
For example :
SELECT appendChildXML(
        XMLType('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><ProjectDetails/>'),
        XMLForest(
         '1'                 as "RefID",
         '1'                 as "ProjectNo",
         'PRJ1'              as "ProjectName",
         'This is project 1' as "ProjectDesc",
         'P'                 as "ProjectType",
         '6747:BBO&M SBV'    as "ProjectLocation",
         'S'                 as "ProjectStatus"
FROM dual;or,
SELECT appendChildXML(
        XMLType('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><ProjectDetails/>'),
        XMLForest(
         '1'                 as "RefID",
         '1'                 as "ProjectNo",
         'PRJ1'              as "ProjectName",
         'This is project 1' as "ProjectDesc",
         'P'                 as "ProjectType",
         XMLCData('6747:BBO&M SBV') as "ProjectLocation",
         'S'                 as "ProjectStatus"
FROM dual;

Error for fetching long text in xml tag for xml publisher report

My requirement is to fetch a large document which is in text format in XML output which can be printed in PDF format by using RTF method to generate PDF.But during XML ouput i got the following error-
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh
button, or try again later.
The following tags were not closed: XXBG_EAMWRREP_V1, LIST_G_WO_ACTIVITY_CODE, G_WO_ACTIVITY_CODE, LIST_G_MEDIA_ID1,
G_MEDIA...
XXBG_EAMWRREP_V1 is the rdf and LIST_G_WO_ACTIVITY_CODE, G_WO_ACTIVITY_CODE, LIST_G_MEDIA_ID1, G_MEDIA are the groups name. In the group
G_MEDIA i am fetching long_text from attahcment in application. In Database table the datatype of the text attachment is 'long' and there is a huge text
data loaded in large data editor of that column. If the text data volume is small enough then there is no problem for fetching the xml output.
If we change the output format as HTMl then there is no problem for fetching the output for long text but for xml output format we are unable to fetch the data
in xml tag.
One thing to mention the oracle report is the copy of Maintenance Work Order Detail Report. The seeded report is HTML format in 11i. The requirement is to make it in xml report.
Please help.

Generating an XML Document from an internal table in ABAP

Good day to all of you;
With ABAP, in the R/3 system, I'm trying to figure out a way to accomplish the following:
1) SELECT a set of Purchase Order data into an internal table.
2) Generate an XML document, containing the above data, using a specific schema.
I've been playing around with function module SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT which has the following interface:
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT'
      EXPORTING
      I_FIELD_SEPERATOR    = ''
      I_LINE_HEADER        = ''
        I_FILENAME           = v_fname
      I_APPL_KEEP          = ''
      I_XML_DOC_NAME      = v_docname
      IMPORTING
        PE_BIN_FILESIZE      = v_byte
      TABLES
        I_TAB_SAP_DATA       = i_SapData
      CHANGING
        I_TAB_CONVERTED_DATA = i_XMLData
      EXCEPTIONS
        CONVERSION_FAILED    = 1
        OTHERS               = 2.
I'm uncertain as to whether or not the Export parameter, I_XML_DOC_NAME refers to some schema or definition and therefore have been excluding it. In doing so, the generated XML document seems to use the field name/type information from my itab for the tags.
If this function module requires an XML Document Name, how do I create one and where do I store it in R/3? If this is not the recommended solution, is anyone familiar with a way to load an XML schema, retrieve some data then have SAP generate an XML document using the schema?
Many thanks for any help available.

To achieve what you'd like to do, you will need to use Data Templates as a data source. The data template can then reference the JDBC connection to the BI Server. Using data templates will allow you to solve both of your problems (non-flat result sets and linked queries).
Using Answers as a data source or using SQL against the BI Server will always result in a flat XML structure getting generated.

Jsf generates ?xml version="1.0"? in xhtml source

Hi,
I have a simple xhtml page that looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
Here is the content
</body>
</html>when I open it in a browser and look at the source code it has generated this:'
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" >
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title>Insert title here</title></head><body>
</body></html>Why the <?xml version="1.0"?> tag on top? IE expects a doctype and gets confused on how to render the page.
I think this has to do with jsf, because if I look at the page with this URL it's ok:
http://localhost:8080/pages/test.xhtml
But with this URL it has inserted the <?xml version="1.0"?> tag on top.
http://localhost:8080/pages/test.faces
Also if I remove xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml then the xml tag is not generated, but I need this code to render the the page correctly.
Anybody have an idea?

Had exactly the same issue with an external supplier who would not change the interface to remove this line. We created a java proxy which was called instead of the BPEL, then stripped out the invalid line and then called the BPEL. Not pretty, but worked.
