Help needed badly Insert text data from xml files into tables

Hi all, I have asked to do insertion of text from a xml file into tables upon receiving using pro*c. i've done quite an amount of research on xml parser in c but there wasn't much information for mi to use for implementation...
Guys don't mind helping me to clarify few doubts of mine...
1. Where can i get the oracle xml parser libs? Is it included when i installed oracle 8i?
2. Is there any tutorials or help files for xml parser libs where i can read up?
I need the xml parser to recognise the tags, followed by recognising the text after the tags.
eg. xml format
<studentID> 0012 </studentID>
<student> john </student>
<studentID> 0013 </studentID>
<student> mary </student>
text willl be inserted into tables like this:
studentID | student
0012 | john
0013 | mary
by the way i'm using oracle 8i on HP-UX. Thanks in advance.

I can answer one of of your questions at least
1. Where can i get the oracle xml parser libs? Is it included when i installed oracle 8i?You need the XML XDK. You can use http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/xml/xdkhome.html as your starting point. I believe the 9i version works for 8i.
I have no pro*c experience so I can't offer any other suggestions regarding how to do this in pro*c.

So, it got compiled successfully but when i execute it gives me error as:

What does this mean?
So I browse through forum & i got to know that i need to initial the UTL_FILE_DIR ="C:/OracleProject" in init.ora
So can i edit the init.ora with notepad.When i tried to do that it says permission denied
In my system it shows the init.ora file in path C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\config\scripts
but there is also other file initXETemp in the same path do i need to do the changes in it.
I have tried even editing the SPFILE as mentioned below:
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\dbs\SPFILEEXE - I had edit this file using notepad & set the value of UTL_FILE_DIR ="C:/OracleProject". So next time when i restarted i'm unable to log on to the database.
So i had reinstall the software again.
Could you please let me know how to proceed..

Load data from XML files into BI

Hi All,
Can any one guide me through the steps which involve in loading data from XML files into BI?
Thanks
Santosh

Hi James,
I have followed upto step No: 12 .
Please could you let me know how to link the XML file on my local drive to BI,
I am not able to find figure out where to specify the path of the XML file to be loaded into BI.
Thanks In Advance
Regards,
San
1. Create a Infosource(ZIS), with transfer structure in accordance with the structure in the XML file. (You can open the XML file with MS Excel.This way you can get to know the structure).
2. Activate the transfer rules.
3. After activation ;from the Menu Bar , Select Extras>Create BW Datasource with SOAP connection.
4.Now Activate the Infosurce again, this creates an XML based Datasource(6AXXX...)
5.These steps would create two sub nodes under the Infosource(ZIS).
6.Select Myself system and create a data package and execute it run in Init mode(without Data Transfer).
7. This would create an entry in RSA7(BW delta Queue)
8. Again create another Delta Infopackage under it, and run it. Now the Datasource(6AXXXXXX..) would turn green in RSA7.
9.In Function builder(SE37) select your FM( do a search ,F4, on the datasource 6AXXX....) .
10.Inside this RFC based FM , from the Menu Bar select Utilities>more Utilities>Create Web services>From Function module.
11.A wizard will guide you through the next steps .
12.once this is done a Web serrvice would be enabled in WSADMIN. Select your FM and execute it.
13.From here you can upload the data from XML file into BW delta queue.

Insert the record from XML file to Tables.

Hi guys,
I ill be getting the XML file from FRONT-END.It ill be stored one permanent location(Directory).I need to Insert the data to the corresponding table.Anybody knows Pls give some suggestion for this.......
Regards....
GKM

Using the Oracle XML DB Webdav are is one method as it acts like a file system, but essentially get's the documents directly into the database so they can be queried through the resouce_view.
Other methods involve reading the file as if it's a CLOB and then using XMLTYPE constructor to change that CLOB to an XMLTYPE which can then be stored as that datatype in the database or processed as you need.
The best place to look is over in the XML DB forum, which has it's own FAQ detailing various best practices for all sort of XML stuff, including reading XML files and shredding them into relational tables etc.

How to retrieve data from xml file into obiee reports

Hi all,
I've got a situation here. A xml file is stored as blob in oracle database table. Now i need to retrieve data/info from that xml file into obiee reports. How am i supposed to proceed with this ?

I will go for a table function:
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/database/oracle/table_function
In two words, you can create a function that behave as a table. Then you create a function to pick up your xml, you parse it and you send back the rows.
I know that Oracle has also a library for XML files but I never use it until now.

Embedding data from xml file into metadata of a pdf

Hi All
I'm wanting to do the following, but struggling to figure the right way to go about it.
I want to embedded data from my MIS into a pdf's metadata (as scrnshot). I can create a standalone xml file with all the data I require, but I'm unsure how to automate that being embedded into a pdf's advanced metadata. I know this can be done, as it worked at a previous employer, but I didn't get chance to find out how they did it.
I'm wanting to do this so I can carry out a more advanced search of the metadata in Bridge.
Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi Northern,
 I have modified the modifyingXMP sample for you. After this change, put your xmp file as sample.xml and also put pdf file in the same folder where ModifyXMP executable is. After merging my changes, ModifyXMP file will read the sample.xml and will embed it into pdf file.
 Please follow the following steps
1. Download XMPToolkit SDK and follow the steps to compile Sample
2. Open ModifyingXMP file, replace all the content of that file with the below content
3. Compile the ModifyingXMP file.
4. The ModifyXMP.exe will be generated in folder (samples\target\windows\Debug), if you have changed the output folder it will be generated there.
5. In parallel to ModifyingXMP.exe put the sample.xml (the xml file you have) and also the pdf file (say pdf file name is mypdf.pdf)
6. Go to console and change directory to the directory where ModifyingXMP is and pass the following command
ModifyingXMP mypdf.pdf
7. Open the pdf file and check that value/properties
For your reference, I am putting the content of the sample.xml file too, put this content in sample.xmp and any pdf and you will find subject field is getting added.
************** content of the sample.xml file. Create a file name sample.xml and put that content. Put sample.xml in parallel to ModifyingXMP.exe*******

Import data from XML file into ICM script

Hello,
Is it possible to read data from an XML file into an ICM Admin script? If yes, using which node?
Thanks,
Justine.

Hi,
as far as i know not directy. Only Method i could think of right now is via CVP Application (Java Class, Custom Node) or IVR Script.
To import data you only have the Database Node which does only allow sources form the Database Lookup Explorer ir passing data along to/from external scripts.

Storing data from XML files in Oracle DB

Hi!
I just started to work with XML and need to save data from XML files into Oracle database. I tried to run sample from Oracle web site. The code was following:
public class xmlwritedb
public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException
String tabName = "EMP"; // Table into which to insert XML data
String fileName = "emp.xml"; // XML document filename
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
// Initialize a JDBC connection
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:oci8:scott/tiger@");
// Insert XML data from file (filename) into
// database table (tabName)
OracleXMLSave save = new OracleXMLSave(conn, tabName);
URL url = save.createURL(fileName);
int rowCount = save.insertXML(url);
System.out.println(" successfully inserted "+rowCount+
" rows into "+ tabName);
conn.close();
But it does not work.
OracleXMLSave object does not see file name.
Please, help me solve this problem. Also,where is it possible to find any documentation on oracle.xml.* classes API.
Thank you.
Maya.

Read data from xml files and populate internal table

Hi.
How to read data from xml files into internal tables?
Can u tell me the classes and methods to read xml data..
Can u explain it with a sample program...

<pre>DATA itab_accontextdir TYPE TABLE OF ACCONTEXTDIR.
DATA struct_accontextdir LIKE LINE OF itab_accontextdir.
DATA l_o_error TYPE REF TO cx_root.
DATA: filename type string ,
 xmldata type xstring .
DATA: mr TYPE REF TO if_mr_api.
mr = cl_mime_repository_api=>get_api( ).
mr->get( EXPORTING i_url = 'SAP/PUBLIC/BC/xml_files_accontext/xml_accontextdir.xml'
 IMPORTING e_content = xmldata ).
WRITE xmldata.
TRY.
CALL TRANSFORMATION id
 SOURCE XML xmldata
 RESULT shiva = itab_accontextdir.
CATCH cx_root INTO l_o_error.
ENDTRY.
LOOP AT itab_accontextdir INTO struct_accontextdir.
 WRITE: / struct_accontextdir-context_id,
 struct_accontextdir-context_name,
 struct_accontextdir-context_type.
 NEW-LINE.
 ENDLOOP.</pre>
 
Description:
In the above code snippet I am storing the data in an xml file(you know xml is used to store and transport data ) called 'xml_accontextdir.xml' that is uploaded into the MIME repository at path 'SAP/PUBLIC/BC/xml_files_accontext/xml_accontextdir.xml'.
The below API is used to read a file in MIME repo and convert it into a string that is stored in ' xmldata'. (This is just a raw data that is got by appending the each line of xml file).
mr = cl_mime_repository_api=>get_api( ).
mr->get( EXPORTING i_url = 'SAP/PUBLIC/BC/xml_files_accontext/xml_accontextdir.xml'
 IMPORTING e_content = xmldata ).
 Once the 'xmldata' string is available we use the tranformation to parse the xml string that we have got from the above API and convert it into the internal table.
<pre>TRY.
CALL TRANSFORMATION id
 SOURCE XML xmldata
 RESULT shiva = itab_accontextdir.
CATCH cx_root INTO l_o_error.
ENDTRY.</pre>
Here the trasnsformation 'id ' is used to conververt the source xml 'xmldata' to resulting internal table itab_accontextdir, that have same structure as our xml file 'xml_accontextdir.xml'. In the RESULT root of the xml file has to be specified. (In my the root is 'shiva').
Things to be taken care:
One of the major problem that occurs when reading the xml file is 'format not compatible with the internal table' that you are reading into internal table. Iin order to get rid of this issue use one more tranformation to convert the data from the internal table into the xml file.
<pre>TRY.
 CALL TRANSFORMATION id
 SOURCE shiv = t_internal_tab
 RESULT XML xml.
 CATCH cx_root INTO l_o_error.
ENDTRY.
WRITE xml.
NEW-LINE.</pre>
 
This is the same transformation that we used above but the differnce is that the SOURCE and RESULT parameters are changed the source is now the internal table and result is *xml *string. Use xml browser that is available with the ABAP workbench to read the xml string displayed with proper indentation. In this way we get the format of xml file to be used that is compatable with the given internal table.
Thank you, Hope this will help you!!!

Hi, extract data from xml file and insert into another exiting xml file

RandomAccessFile? If you know where you want to insert it.Are you sure about this? If using this, the receiving file would have to have bytes inserted that exactly match the number of bytes replaced. I'm thinking that you'll likely have to stream through the second XML with a SAX parser and copy information (or insert new information) as you stream with an XML writer of some sort.

JDBC + SERVLET: inserting text data to access file from Html form

Hi everybody !
I'm trying to insert text data from my html form to access database using servlet and jdbc technologies.
The problem that I'm that the data is TEXT, but not the English language !!!
So my access db file gets - ???????? symbols instead the real text.
This is the form line that sending data to my servlet:
<form
method="POST"
ACTION=http://localhost:8080/servlet/myServlet enctype="text/html">
And this is servlet line that defines response content:
res.setContentType( "text/html" );
What can I do to get in access db file the right text format and not a ???????? symbols.
Maybe I must to ad some <meta ...> , but where ?

You're dealing with Unicode, I'd guess, and not ASCII.
I guess I'd have two questions:
(1) Is the character encoding on your pages set properly for the language you're trying to use?
(2) Does Access handle Unicode characters?
Access isn't exacly a world-class database. (If it was, there'd be no reason for M$ to develop SQL Server.) I'd find out if it supports other character sets. If not, you'll have to switch to a more capable database that does. - MOD

Extract data from xml file and insert into another exiting xml fil

hello,
i am searching extract data from xml file and insert into another exiting xml file by a java program. I understood it is easy to extract data from a xml file, and how ever without creating another xml file. We want to insert the extracted data into another exiting xml file. Suggestions?
Regards,
Zhuozhi

If the files are small, you can load the target file in a DOM document, insert the data from the source file and persist the DOM.
If the files are large, you probably want to use a StAX or SAX.
