Regards

Hi jimmypham,
Regarding the first post in this thread on connecting to XML files- has the situation changed since your last post in May 05- is it possible to connec to XML files now in Designer?
Thanks,

Getting data from multiple XML Files

Could any one please shed some light about the best way to
read multiple external xml files through Flex? We haveabout 100
different xml files (of which only few are randomly accessed by the
users).
I tried implementing the following generic function which
takes a filename but when debugging it, it seems that the handler
never gets call after executing the service.send() line! I will
greatly appreciate your help!!!
public function fetchFileContent(fileName:String):void{
//this method is called upon clicking on a button
var service:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
service.url = "filePath/" + fileName ;
service.useProxy = false;
service.resultFormat = "e4x";
service.addEventListener ("result",fileRetrievalHandler)
service.send();
public function fileRetrievalHandler(evnt:ResultEvent):void{
fileContent = evnt.result.feed; //this line never gets
executed

Try adding a fault handler and seeing if that fires. Also,
since you're
using HTTPService instead of URLLoader, be aware that this
probably won't
ever work from your development environment unless you've
either changed the
output directory to go to the server or you've changed some
compiler flags
to allow you to get local and network access at the same
time. This is why
I always use URLLoader to load in XML files at a relative
path...it just
works, without my needing to change anything.

Getting data from an XML file and pushing it to a database

I need to create a coldfusion page that grabs an incoming xml file, extract the data and then push it into a database. I have never done anything like this, and have been reading as much as I can find. Can anyone recomend a good resource or give me a hand on how I go about doing this?
The xml file is coming from another page. Basically the source page is a simple text box that an xml file is pasted into and submited. The action page must grab the xml file, pull out the data and funnel it into a table. Then it must query the table and based on the results of the query, push a new xml file back to the user.
<my brain is already hurting>

I'd start by looking at the CF documentation related to XML and Ben Forta's books.
"About XML and ColdFusion" from CF docs:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec133ba -8000.html
Ben Forta's books
http://www.forta.com/books/0321679199/
It would be good to know:
1. What the workflow is for your task. Can you describe your task in detail and provide samples of the XML and database?
2. The database you are using and the structure of your tables.
3. The version of CF you are using.

Sending and getting data from external file.

I'm running it in actionscript 1 and 2 since 3 wouldn't work when getting data from external media. I'm trying to find out how to post data to a PHP file and getting from that file I'm trying to make the flash for something that works like a game but differently. Since I just found out how to make the HTML stuff show up but a lot of times, some of my text will not appear so I don't know what's going on.
Does anyone know how to send and get data both at the same time from a sample file?
The sample file is example.php
It has to sent information like ID and NAME
and it has to get information like Description and userID

The tutorial I pointed you to does provide the visuals you requested, both the AS code and sample PHP code, so I can't see where your learning by visuals aspect holds up.... your approach sounds more like you want someone to hand you a tailored solution that you won't need to learn from. Visuals require reading and doing. If that fails to get absorbed or you couldn't understand/revise it, what could anyone else prepare for you that would work better?
I did the tutorial and everything but every time I press the button or even load it, it keeps on saying undefined. I like the have a sample FLA file so I can figure things out. I did everything from the site but it won't work out for me.
I did step 5 too because it was almost all that I was looking for but it won't even work. keeps on saying undefined. I would show you but webcam max won't work and I can't show you an example.
EDIT:
You know it's frustrating when I don't know how the heck I'm supposed to do this stuff. I read the whole dang thing and I still can't get this dang thing working.
I did everything. EVERYTHING. I just don't get this crap.

Getting data from external system

Hi,
What other methods that are used to get data from external system to BW? I know that DB Connect is one of the methods. Also, falt files is one of them.
Thanks,

Hi,
Is there a BAPI that I can look at and start programming to get data from Informatica?
Right now we are using CSV files. Would anyone have sample code for the doing this using BAPI? Appreciate any.
Is there any How to paper to do this?

Application to Read and Write the Configuration Data from a xml file

Hi,
I have to develop a Webdynpro application that will do the following:
Read the Configuration data from an xml file
If stored in a file , and the file is not found, prompt the user to provide the file location.
Pre-Populate the screen(table) with the configuration data
Allow the user to edit the data
Store the configuration data when the user hits the Save button
The config xml file details are as follows:
Regardless of the location of the configuration data, the following fields will be stored
Application (string) will always contain u201CSFA_EDOCSu201D
Key (string) eg LDAP_USER, DB_PREFIX, etc.
Type (character) u201CPu201D = Plain Text, u201CEu201D = Encrypted
Value (string)
Since I am new to WD, I would require help on this.
Please help.Its Urgent.

Using HTTPService to import data from a XML file

Hello there!
I'm having some problem's with this import... If anyone can
help, I would appreciate it!
I'm using this type of information as data source:
public var dataCollection:ArrayCollection =
new ArrayCollection([
{ id: "P1", name: "Porto", type: "team", children: [
{ id: "R1", name: "Dr Silva", location: "Bloco 1", type:
"member" },
{ id: "R2", name: "Dra Neto", location: "Gabinete", type:
"member"
{ id: "P2", name: "Braga", type: "team", children: [
{ id: "R3", name: "Dr Santos", location: "Bloco 2", type:
"member" },
{ id: "R4", name: "Dra Sonia", location: "Piso 1", type:
"member"
But I want to import it from a XML file like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<items>
<item id="P1" name="Porto" type="team">
<children id="R1" name="Dr Silva" location="Bloco 1"
type="member" />
<children id="R2" name="Dra Neto" location="Gabinete"
type="member" />
</item>
<item id="P2" name="Braga" type="team">
<children id="R3" name="Dr Santos" location="Bloco 2"
type="member" />
<children id="R4" name="Dra Sonia" location="Piso 1"
type="member" />
</item>
</items>
I already import the file, but can not translate the data
into a array collection.
private function initApp():void {
var httpService:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
httpService.url = "dataprovider.xml";
httpService.resultFormat = "e4x";
httpService.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT,
onFaultHttpService);
httpService.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT,
onResultHttpService);
httpService.send();
private function onFaultHttpService(e:FaultEvent):void
Alert.show("Error reading data file.");
private function onResultHttpService(e:ResultEvent):void
//Convert the xml data to a array collection
Thank you

Hello Peter, and thank you for your reply's.
My problem is that I'm receiving the data from the external
file and I don't know how to get the children in place... I mean, I
also have some data being received form a file that I can convert
into an array collection, but the thing is, that file doesn't have
children structure...
It's something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<items>
<item id="T1" resourceId="R1" name="Cardiologia"
startTime="25-3-09 8:0:0" endTime="25-3-09 8:30:0" />
<item id="T2" resourceId="R2" name="Raio-X"
startTime="25-3-09 9:0:0" endTime="25-3-09 9:15:0" />
<item id="T3" resourceId="R3" name="Analises"
startTime="25-3-09 12:0:0" endTime="25-3-09 12:45:0" />
<item id="T4" resourceId="R4" name="Consulta"
startTime="26-3-09 8:0:0" endTime="26-3-09 9:0:0" />
</items>
And I solve it with this (don't know if is the best):
private function onResultHttpServiceTask(e:ResultEvent):void
var a:Array = xmlListToObjectArray(e.result.item);
tasks = new ArrayCollection(a);
protected function
xmlListToObjectArray(xmlList:XMLList):Array
var a:Array = new Array();
for each(var xml:XML in xmlList)
var attributes:XMLList = xml.attributes();
var o:Object = new Object();
for each (var attribute:XML in attributes)
var nodeName:String = attribute.name().toString();
var value:*;
value = attribute.toString();
o[nodeName] = value;
a.push(new ObjectProxy(o));
return a;
But when the children "enter in action" I don't know how to
bring them to the array...
This code you send it's preaty much the thing I need, but the
thing is that I don't know how to call the children with data as
e:ResultEvent...
If you can help a bit more, I would really appreciate...
Thank You

How to get data from external source

Hi experts,
I want to get data from a different source e.g. from oracle. How can i get the data in BW??
Sam

Hi Samir
there are different interfaces are available according to the source system.
For Oracle source system you can use DB connect interface.
you can extract data from several data sources to BI
File Interface:: Using this interface, you can access files in ASCII format or CSV format
DB Connect :: You use DB Connect to open other database connections in addition to the default connection and use these connections to transfer data from tables or views into a BI system.
UD Connect :: UD Connect (Universal Data Connect) uses the Application Server J2EE connectivity to enable the reporting and analysis of both SAP and non-SAP data. Using UD Connect, you can access all relational and multidimensional data sources. UD Connect transfers the data as flat data.
BI Service API ::
Web Service for Staging ::You use the Web service to write the data from the source into the PSA. The transfer of data is controlled externally, without placing demand on BI.
You can use this interface in conjunction with real-time data acquisition.
Please assign points if this info helps.

Error loading data from an XML file using HTTPService

Hello All,
I have a runtime error that has got me beat at the moment I am building an App in Flash Builder 4 to run on AIR.
The error is as follows: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
What i'm Trying to Do:
I have 2 DropDownList controls, the first is populated with country names and the other with language options. All the 1st DropDownList control does
is set an image control to display the country flag and enable the 2nd DropDownList.
The 2nd DropDownList sets the langCode variable equal to the chosen language code. I then call the language function and pass it langCode. Using this variable, I build up the string
so that langFilePath will be equal to the XML file (which is "Lang_GBR.xml") location on my desktop and then call the HTTPService.
As soon as the language function is called, the runtime error occurs and highlights the line with btn_LS_mainMenu.label = loadLangService.lastResult.Lang.GlobalTags.btnMenu;
where I try to assign the button label with a new value from the XML file.
I suspect this may be a trivial error but I just can't see it at the moment.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks

Don't sure about your XML structure, but for now i see the problem here between this 2 lines of code:
loadLangService.send();
btn_LS_mainMenu.label = loadLangService.lastResult.Lang.GlobalTags.btnMenu;
Think data that your httpService should receive just can't go so fast to populate the lastResult before you call it in the next line
Try adding a result listener to your service before you send it:
loadLangService.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, handler);
loadLangService.send();
function handler(event:ResultEvent):void {
     btn_LS_mainMenu.label = loadLangService.lastResult.Lang.GlobalTags.btnMenu;

How to fetch the relational data from the xml file registered in xdb

Hi,
I have to register the xml file into the xdb repository and i have to fetch the data of the xml file as relational structure through the select statement .
i used the below query to register the xml file in xdb.
DECLARE
v_return BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
v_return := DBMS_XDB.CREATERESOURCE(
abspath => '/public/demo/xml/db_objects.xml',
data => BFILENAME('XML_DIR', 'db_objects.xml')
COMMIT;
END;
Now i have to fetch the values in the xml file as relational data .
whether it is possible ?
can any one help me.
Regards,
suresh.

When you transform your XMLdata to a xmltype you can do something like this for example:
select
extractvalue(value(p),'/XMLRecord/Session_Id') session_id,
extractvalue(value(p),'/XMLRecord/StatementId') StatementId,
extractvalue(value(p),'/XMLRecord/EntryId') EntryId
from
table(xmlsequence(extract(xmltype('
<XMLdemo>
<FormatModifiers><FormatModifier>UTFEncoding</FormatModifier></FormatModifiers>
<XMLRecord>
<Session_Id>117715</Session_Id>
<StatementId>6</StatementId>
<EntryId>1</EntryId>
</XMLRecord>
</XMLdemo>
'),'/XMLdemo/*'))) p
where extractvalue(value(p),'/XMLRecord/Session_Id') is not null;
For this sample I've put a readable XML in plain text and convert it to xmltype so you can run it on your own database.

How to store ,retreive and edit data from an xml file

I am new to XML. I am creating a phone book in JSP with backend as an XML file.How can I store retrieve and edit datas from a jsp file.
Please provide me with examples.I dont want to use bean.
Please provide examples

You will have to do some leg-work yourself. You will probably want to use DOM to parse and manipulate your XML data. Xerces (xml.apache.org) is a good open source parser. There are extensive examples on their site.

Any way to find lost data from the xml file?

Is there any way I can retrieve lost metadata from my mp3’s? I have had 9 months worth deleted, the mps’s are still there but I’ve lost playlists and date added info etc. from the xml file. There are old restores from 9 months ago and now, (the iTunes librarys stored in history are from 9 months ago) the library I currently have has 5 songs ive added this week, and everything from over 9 months ago.
thanks,
guy

I have experienced the EXACT same problem... can't find a solution but am searching madly. Please post what you discover, if anything.
