Help on XML output challenge needed

Hello,
I need some help on getting different data from different relational tables into one XML output.
Fe: I have 3 different sql queries with no strait relation. Now I want this as a xml document. How can I create a generic method to convert this into xml?
The situation is as follows:
the 3 sql queries together produce the data for a report (Fe. header, body, footer).
I want this transformation in a generic way, so that I do not have to do the xml transformation for each query hardcoded.
Thanks,
Edward

Maybe something like this?:
select xmlconcat(xml) from (
    select dbms_xmlgen('select * from query1') xml from dual
    union all
    select dbms_xmlgen('select * from query2') from dual
    union all
    select dbms_xmlgen('select * from query3') from dual)

Please help! XML output needed for OBIEE report.

Hi,
I need an xml output of the OBIEE report. I have tried extrating the xml result using GO url but the xml format is not satisfactory. The default output assigns C0,C1..column names to each column data while on the other hand I need the name of the column and not C0 or C1.
Hence, can anyone please suggest as to how can I format the OBIEE xml output internally i.e. without doing it manually.
Please let me know if more explanation is required.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
Thanks for the response but unfortunately Bi Publisher is even not giving the required output.
The output of Bi Publisher is like
<_170627_>170627</_170627_>
<_TRADES_._TRADE_ID_>2996</_TRADES_._TRADE_ID_>
<_FALSE_>FALSE</_FALSE_>
<_N_>N</_N_>
<_170627_>170627</_170627_>
<_R_>R</_R_>
and the output of OBIEE is
<C0>170627</C0>
<C1>2996</C1>
<C2>FALSE</C2>
<C3>N</C3>
<C4>170627</C4>
<C5>R</C5>
<C8>B</C8>
In both the cases I get leading and trailing tags which are not required. Ideally according to the requirement C0 should have been Trade ID, C2 - Cancellation option and so on.
The BI Publisher does give the output to some ectent but lans up capturing the table name also as u see it is Trades.Trades Id. I even reuire few extra tags which caary report information and this data is not being pulled from database.
Hence please help!! I am really very much confused!!
Thanks!!!

Need help with XML output formatting

Didn't want to cross post. Thanks!

Are you going to use this HD exclusively on Mac? If so, you may copy the data to another place (I have no idea how much data we're talking about here), then reformat the disk for better Mac compatibility.
If you're going to need to access if from Windows machine too, or for some unknown reason you want to keep it formatted NTFS, you can use something like this so Mac will be able to write to it:

Need to reference file name within the XML Output

Not sure if this is possible, as I'm new to the livecycle/XML world. But I need to be able to reference a file within the XML output from the PDF.
The Scenario is that a pdf form of a business card will be issued to 50 franchisees for them to type in their names and mobiles, click submit and the XML file to be sent to myself, and be imported in to InDesign populating their data ready for printing. Up to here I have it working perfectly.
However as each franchisee have a combination of up to 5 logos to place in the bottom corner to save having to have various templates with different combinations of logos and having to ensure the correct templates are used. I intend to reference each companies combination as an EPS and make the reference within the xml out and have it import directly in with the other data. I can type the code directly within the xml but I would like to have the form reference it directly in the xml output. Is this possible or am expecting to much of livecycle? Any help/advice greatly appreciated.

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.

R12 Check Printing Need XML output for seeded data definition--urgent

Hi--
I really need to get ahold of the XML output from the checks running off the data definition called "Oracle Payments Funds Disbursement Payment Instruction Extract 1.0" in Oracle R12 quickly--particulary the XML tag that holds the MICR string (should be the concatenation of Check Number, Routing and Acct number).
I found an entry here in the forums about running a query of:
SELECT XMLType.getClobVal(instruction)
FROM IBY_XML_FD_INS_1_0_V
WHERE rownum =1 ;
to get the entire XML output. I have an open SR but haven't really gotten anywhere with it yet.
However, all we get back is an error about datatype. Could someone please help out with this--it is quite urgent as I need to finish this last piece of the checks and work with the bank on formatting this week.
Thanks--I'd really appreciate any assistance!
Kate

SELECT XMLType.getClobVal(instruction)
INTO x_extract_doc
FROM iby_xml_fd_ins_1_0_v
WHERE payment_instruction_id = p_payment_instruction_id;
or you can use
SELECT document FROM iby_trxn_documents order by creation_date desc;
provided that the last run was urs.

Help in XML Report output

Hi Experts,
I have created the XML report which will generate the output in EXCEL format. I have used the template(rtf) to generate the output. I am facing the critical issue the output file (excel) is giving output with headings( ex: empno,ename,job..)even if there is no record count in the query.
But some times it gives the empty file(excel) without the heading information if the record count is zero.
Could anyone suggest me to solve this error.
Any solution or link will be great help for me. Waiting for your valueable reply
Thanks in Advance,
Ravi.

Need help processing XML files

I'm fairly new to Java and have never worked with XML. I need to process several XML files and display them in a matrix for comparison and I'm not sure if I need to understand SAX, DOM or some other API. I'm not creating the files, I'm just parsing them to put into a table so they can be displayed for comparison. I could be processing up to several hundreds of files, so performance would also be an issue.
I'm just looking for options and possible areas I can begin to look for help. Can anyone tell me which APIs would help me acheive my goal?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the response Kev. I guess a better diescription of the problem would be to say that I want to display the attributes and values of the differnet files in a matrix.
For example...
Here are 2 sample xml files with the same tags and attributes.
XML FILE A
<tag1 name="Fred", country="ca">
<tag2 group-name="Group 1">
<tag3 color ="blue">
</tag3>
</tag2>
</tag1>
XML FILE B
<tag1 name="Sue", country="us">
<tag2 group-name="Group 2">
<tag3 color="red">
</tag3>
</tag2>
</tag1>
I would like to have them displayed as follows...
XML FILE A XML FILE B
tag1 name           Fred Sue
tag1 country           ca us
tag2 group-name          Group 1 Group 2
tag3 Color          Blue     Red
HTML tags didn't work, so the matrix is bunched together, but I think you get the idea. My question is, which would be better to use SAX or DOM. I could be running this on as many as 50 or 60 files, so the matrix could get very large and performance could be an issue as multiple users could be doing this comparison at the same time.

I need help with XML Gallery Fade in out transition. somebody please help me
I have my post dont want to duplicate it

The problem doesn't lie with your feed, although it does contain an error - you have given a non-existent sub-category. You need to stick to the categories and sub-categories listed here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#categories
Subscribing to your feed from the iTunes Store page work as such, but the episodes throw up an error message. The problem lies with your episode media files: you are trying to stream them. Pasting the URL into a browser produces a download (where it should play the file) of a small file which does not play and in fact is a text file containing (in the case of ep.2) this:
[Reference]
Ref1=http://stream.riverratdoc.com/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
Ref2=http://70.33.177.247:80/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
You must provide a direct link to the actual mp3 file. Streaming won't work. The test is that if you paste the URL of the media file (as given in the feed) into the address bar of a browser it should play the file.

Help require to get the XML output to design template- JDE

Hi Friends,
I am asking this question from JDE perspective.I want to design XMLP Template for R40572 Check Printing.
When I upload an blank template and after attaching RD, When ever I initiate a check from P04572 Application.RThe Write Row exit will lead to check printing which in turn will call a batch R04571 and this batch will call R04572(Which I require the XML output) since it is the second report and we cant direct it to local server I am not able to get the XML output..
Another think is since its running in server i think its not taking the RD modification we done in loacl because it always fires PDF .

Hi,
I assume you're Using XMPOSA for generating the files locally. What I suggest is, you set the application to run with the report definition by default. That way, even when it is called, it will be called along with the report definition. You can take the resultant XML file from P95630
hope this helps,

How to get XML output from a stored procedure

I have a very simple question:
I would like to write a stored procedure (SP) that will return results in XML format (as a string). My tables in database are not of XML TYPE. But I need XML output.
ie, SP will run like a typical SP but the only difference will be its output in XML.
1) is it possible?
2) if possible, how?
Please, help

Thank you Peter, it was a great problem for me !

Generate XML output using DBMS_XMLGEN.getxmltype and not from rdf

Hi,
I have a requirement to display output from a particular table in XL format. Out of all the known possible options, I am planning to use the XML publisher to generate XL output.
For the data source, instead of using the conventional way of creating XML data using rdf,I am planning to use DBMS_XMLGEN.getxmltype pl/sql procedure to generate the XML output. And from the output, call the template to generate the required Excel output.
Now, I am using the following code to generate XML output but am not sure how to proceed from here. I need to first print the XML data in the FND Output file after which I was planning to call the 'XML Report Publisher' (XDOREPPB) program and use the current request id to get the excel output but I am not able to find the way to print the XML data in the output file as:
fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, l_xml_type); - is throwing an error as l_xml_type is an XML data output.
PROCEDURE xml_main (
errbuf OUT VARCHAR2
,retcode OUT VARCHAR2
,p_project_from IN VARCHAR2
,p_project_to IN VARCHAR2
AS
l_xml_type XMLTYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT DBMS_XMLGEN.getxmltype
('SELECT fnd_global.conc_request_id
,TO_CHAR (segment1)
,to_char(start_date,''MM/DD/RRRR'')
,to_char(xxmcc_project_details_pkg.current_profit_projection
(project_id),''999,999,990.90'')
,to_char(xxmcc_project_details_pkg.cost_to_date (project_id),''999,999,990.90'')
,''1''
FROM pa_projects_all
WHERE segment1 BETWEEN NVL (p_project_from, segment1)
AND NVL (p_project_to, segment1)')
INTO l_xml_type
FROM DUAL;
fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, l_xml_type);
END xml_main;
Can anyone point me as to how to publish XML output using a PL/SQL procedure (DBMS_XMLGEN.getxmltype)
Thanks.

Pl see if the example included in this presentation helps http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/applications/Events/OOW-2006/EBS/S281401_Sridhar_Bogelli.pdf
Also, you do not need to explicitly call XDOREPPB in later versions of XML Publisher. If you set up everything correctly (as described in the presentation above and the link below) the Output Post Processor is called automatically after the XML file is generated successfully.
Another excellent tutorial is at http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/fusion_middleware/fusion/bi/xmlp_ebiz/index.html

How to create a errortag in the XML-Output ?

Hey
who can help me creating a error-tag in my XML-output of a PL/SQL procedure ?
Enviroment:
Oracle DB is 8.1.7 with installed XDK-package (in a few
weeks perhaps Oracle 9i). I've no problems to use the dbms_xmlquery-functions and -procedures.
I've to develop a PL/SQL procedure which is called via JDBC from a JAVA program. The procedure execute a Select-Statement. The result is transformed in XML and stored in a CLOB, which is given back to the calling JAVA-program.
There exist 2 possible result-situations.
-1- one or more rows are found
-2- no row is found
Problem:
For each of these situation the XML-Output should have a different structure and my main problem is to integrate the errortag !!!
for -1-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<data>
<error err_code="NoError"/>
<record num="1">
</record>
<record num="2">
</record>
</data>
for -2-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<data>
<error err_code="NoDataFound"/>
</data>
Hope somebody can help me ???
Andre

Hey Rajat,
thanks for your answer, but the errortag is needed by another department. They use it for their processing.
Have you got any idea, how to integrate the errortag with the functions or procedures of the dbms_xmlquery package ??? I've got only a few days experience with the dbms_xmlquery-package, so some code examples or advices would be great !!!
I've tried the following coding:
out_xmlresult OUT CLOB; -- OUT Parameter of the PLSQL-Proc
c1 CLOB;
queryctx dbms_xmlquery.ctxtype;
-- create XML-context
queryctx:=dbms_xmlquery.newcontext(<selectstatement>);
-- delete the rowsettag (use 'data' later on)
dbms_xmlquery.setrowsettag(queryctx,'');
-- create new tag 'data' which enclose an empty header
-- and the data section
dbms_lob.createTemporary(c1, TRUE );
c1:=EMPTY_CLOB();
dbms_xmlquery.setDataHeader(queryctx,c1,'data');
-- rename rowtag
dbms_xmlquery.setrowtag(queryctx,'record');
-- set encoding tag
dbms_xmlquery.setEncodingTag(queryctx,'ISO-8859-1);
-- create XML-Output
out_xmlresult := dbms_xmlquery.getxml(queryctx);
...but I haven't got any success !!!
