How to declare global parameters in .xml file

My requirement is to customize the Account Analysis report and need to add two parameters(PO Number And Item).In the Dev Instance I have done by creating the customizing package instead of XLA_ACCT_ANALYSIS_RPT_PKG to some xxxx_pkg used in the XLAAARPT.xml file.But when i am doing this in Production the user does not have access to the Packages he has only access for tables and synonyms.I am unable to create the customize package is there any other way to decalre and use parameters in XLAAARPT.xml file.
If there is any possibility please provide me the solution as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance

How-to use Excel for the XML file input?

Hello all,
Following our discussion with Gerhard Steinhuber on the very nice tutorial from Horst Schaude , "How to upload mass data via XML File Input" , I am starting this new discussion.
In the comments section of this previous cited tutorial, Rufat Gadirov explains how to use a generated XML from Eclipse instead of your XSD file as your source in Excel.
However, in spite of all the instructions, I am still facing the same issue in Excel when I try to save my file as XML : "The XML maps in this workbook are not exportable".
What I try to do is to create one or more Sales Orders with multiple Items in it from a XML File Input, using excel to enter data.
The part with the File input is working (if I directly upload my file to the webDAV, it creates a sales order instance with multiple items).
The only missing part is the Excel data input that I cannot make work. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my XML file that I try to use as a source in Excel before inputing data from Excel:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Hello Jacques-Antoine,
I suppose that as you have tried to construct a map from the schema, you have taken the elements from the List level down. In this case I also can't export the map.
But if you take the elements from the level MySalesOrderUploaded down, you'll get the exportable map (screenshots)

How can we get tag of XML file using SAX

Hi ,
I'm parsing one SAX parser , I'have almost done this parsing. i have faced problem for one case, i'e how can we get tag from XML file using SAX parser?
XML file is

How to create Inbound Idoc from XML file-Need help urgently

Hi,
can any one tell how to create inbound Idoc from XML file.
we have xml file in application server Ex. /usr/INT/SMS/PAYTEXT.xml' we want to generate inbound idoc from this file.we are successfully able to generate outbound XML file from outbound Idoc by using the XML port. But not able to generate idoc from XML file by using we19 or we16.
Please let me know the process to trigger inbound Idoc with out using XI and any other components.
Thanks in advance
Dora Reddy

Hi .. Did either of you get a result on this?
My question is the same really .. I am testing with WE19 and it seems SAP cannot accept an XML inbound file as standard.
I see lots of mention of using a Function Module.
Am I correct in saying therefore that ABAP development is required to create a program to run the FM and process the idoc?
Or is there something tht can be done with Standard SAP?
Thanks

My "itunes library" folder is empty. My libray music (prior to upgrading itunes) is now in an .xml file in my itunes location under my music. How do I extract/convert this .xml file to a Itunes database and restore my Itunes music library??? Thanks, Tom

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

How to save infopath form in XML file

How to save InfoPath form in XML file.
I want every new record in InfoPath form save in XML file and also retrieve these records from XML like databases

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to save InfoPath form in XML file.
I have done a test in my SharePoint, Do the following steps:
Create an form library and publish an InfoPath form into it, Then when we create new document into the form library, it is by default that InfoPath form is saved in XML file.

2- Get the file ARDLP.rdf from $AR_TOP/reports
3- Open the report using Oracle Reports
4- Change the output to XML.
ARDLP.rdf is a report provided by Oracle Corporation so it is a good idea to make a backup of the same,
before making any changes. Hope this will help.

How can i write also to xml file the settings of the Tag property to identify if it's "file" or "directory" ?

The first thing i'm doing is to get from my ftp server all the ftp content information and i tag it so i can identify later if it's a file or a directory:
private int total_dirs;
private int searched_until_now_dirs;
private int max_percentage;
private TreeNode directories_real_time;
private string SummaryText;
private TreeNode CreateDirectoryNode(string path, string name , int recursive_levl )
var directoryNode = new TreeNode(name);
var directoryListing = GetDirectoryListing(path);
var directories = directoryListing.Where(d => d.IsDirectory);
var files = directoryListing.Where(d => !d.IsDirectory);
total_dirs += directories.Count<FTPListDetail>();
searched_until_now_dirs++;
int percentage = 0;
foreach (var dir in directories)
directoryNode.Nodes.Add(CreateDirectoryNode(dir.FullPath, dir.Name, recursive_levl+1));
if (recursive_levl == 1)
TreeNode temp_tn = (TreeNode)directoryNode.Clone();
this.BeginInvoke(new MethodInvoker( delegate
UpdateList(temp_tn);
percentage = (searched_until_now_dirs * 100) / total_dirs;
if (percentage > max_percentage)
SummaryText = String.Format("Searched dirs {0} / Total dirs {1}", searched_until_now_dirs, total_dirs);
max_percentage = percentage;
backgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(percentage, SummaryText);
percentage = (searched_until_now_dirs * 100) / total_dirs;
if (percentage > max_percentage)
SummaryText = String.Format("Searched dirs {0} / Total dirs {1}", searched_until_now_dirs, total_dirs);
max_percentage = percentage;
backgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(percentage, SummaryText);
foreach (var file in files)
TreeNode file_tree_node = new TreeNode(file.Name);
file_tree_node.Tag = "file";
directoryNode.Nodes.Add(file_tree_node);
numberOfFiles.Add(file.FullPath);
return directoryNode;
The line i'm using to Tag is:
file_tree_node.Tag = "file";
So i know what is "file" then i make a simple check if the Tag is not null then i know it's a "file" if it's null then it's directory.
For example this is how i'm checking if it's file or directory after getting all the content from my ftp server:
if (treeViewMS1.SelectedNode.Tag != null)
string s = (string)treeViewMS1.SelectedNode.Tag;
if (s == "file")
file = false;
DeleteFile(treeViewMS1.SelectedNode.FullPath, file);
else
RemoveDirectoriesRecursive(treeViewMS1.SelectedNode, treeViewMS1.SelectedNode.FullPath);
I also update in real time when getting the content of the ftp server xml file on my hard disk with the treeView structure information so when i'm running the program each time it will load the treeView structure with all directories and files.
This is the class of the xml file:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Xml;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace FTP_ProgressBar
class TreeViewXmlPopulation
// Xml tag for node, e.g. 'node' in case of <node></node>
private const string XmlNodeTag = "node";
// Xml attributes for node e.g. <node text="Asia" tag=""
// imageindex="1"></node>
private const string XmlNodeTextAtt = "text";
private const string XmlNodeTagAtt = "tag";
private const string XmlNodeImageIndexAtt = "imageindex";
public static void DeserializeTreeView(TreeView treeView, string fileName)
XmlTextReader reader = null;
try
// disabling re-drawing of treeview till all nodes are added
treeView.BeginUpdate();
reader = new XmlTextReader(fileName);
TreeNode parentNode = null;
while (reader.Read())
if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
if (reader.Name == XmlNodeTag)
TreeNode newNode = new TreeNode();
bool isEmptyElement = reader.IsEmptyElement;
// loading node attributes
int attributeCount = reader.AttributeCount;
if (attributeCount > 0)
for (int i = 0; i < attributeCount; i++)
reader.MoveToAttribute(i);
SetAttributeValue(newNode,
reader.Name, reader.Value);
// add new node to Parent Node or TreeView
if (parentNode != null)
parentNode.Nodes.Add(newNode);
else
treeView.Nodes.Add(newNode);
// making current node 'ParentNode' if its not empty
if (!isEmptyElement)
parentNode = newNode;
// moving up to in TreeView if end tag is encountered
else if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.EndElement)
if (reader.Name == XmlNodeTag)
parentNode = parentNode.Parent;
else if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.XmlDeclaration)
//Ignore Xml Declaration
else if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.None)
return;
else if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Text)
parentNode.Nodes.Add(reader.Value);
finally
// enabling redrawing of treeview after all nodes are added
treeView.EndUpdate();
reader.Close();
/// <span class="code-SummaryComment"><summary>
/// Used by Deserialize method for setting properties of
/// TreeNode from xml node attributes
/// <span class="code-SummaryComment"></summary>
private static void SetAttributeValue(TreeNode node,
string propertyName, string value)
if (propertyName == XmlNodeTextAtt)
node.Text = value;
else if (propertyName == XmlNodeImageIndexAtt)
node.ImageIndex = int.Parse(value);
else if (propertyName == XmlNodeTagAtt)
node.Tag = value;
public static void SerializeTreeView(TreeView treeView, string fileName)
XmlTextWriter textWriter = new XmlTextWriter(fileName,
System.Text.Encoding.ASCII);
// writing the xml declaration tag
textWriter.WriteStartDocument();
//textWriter.WriteRaw("\r\n");
// writing the main tag that encloses all node tags
textWriter.WriteStartElement("TreeView");
// save the nodes, recursive method
SaveNodes(treeView.Nodes, textWriter);
textWriter.WriteEndElement();
textWriter.Close();
private static void SaveNodes(TreeNodeCollection nodesCollection,
XmlTextWriter textWriter)
for (int i = 0; i < nodesCollection.Count; i++)
TreeNode node = nodesCollection[i];
textWriter.WriteStartElement(XmlNodeTag);
textWriter.WriteAttributeString(XmlNodeTextAtt,
node.Text);
textWriter.WriteAttributeString(
XmlNodeImageIndexAtt, node.ImageIndex.ToString());
if (node.Tag != null)
textWriter.WriteAttributeString(XmlNodeTagAtt,
node.Tag.ToString());
// add other node properties to serialize here
if (node.Nodes.Count > 0)
SaveNodes(node.Nodes, textWriter);
textWriter.WriteEndElement();
And this is how i'm using the class this method i'm calling it inside the CreateDirectoryNode and i'm updating the treeView in real time when getting the ftp content from the server i build the treeView structure in real time.
DateTime last_update;
private void UpdateList(TreeNode tn_rt)
TimeSpan ts = DateTime.Now - last_update;
if (ts.TotalMilliseconds > 200)
last_update = DateTime.Now;
treeViewMS1.BeginUpdate();
treeViewMS1.Nodes.Clear();
treeViewMS1.Nodes.Add(tn_rt);
TreeViewXmlPopulation.SerializeTreeView(treeViewMS1, @"c:\XmlFile\Original.xml");
ExpandToLevel(treeViewMS1.Nodes, 1);
treeViewMS1.EndUpdate();
And when i'm running the program again in the constructor i'm doing:
if (File.Exists(@"c:\XmlFile\Original.xml"))
TreeViewXmlPopulation.DeserializeTreeView(treeViewMS1, @"c:\XmlFile\Original.xml");
My question is how can i update the xml file in real time like i'm doing now but also with the Tag property so next time i will run the program and will not get the content from the ftp i will know in the treeView what is file and what is directory.
The problem is that now if i will run the program the Tag property is null. I must get the ftp content from the server each time.
But i want that withoutout getting the ftp content from server to Tag each file as file in the treeView structure.
So what i need is somehow where i;m Tagging "file" or maybe when updating the treeView also to add something to the xml file so when i will run the progrma again and read back the xml file it will also Tag the files in the treeView.

The user can change some parameters inside my dynamic data
regions. I would like to change these data in the maching xml
files. I didn't find any sample explaining how to do this.
Thank's for your help

B2B adapter? I just want some test data. Finally the setup is going to be such that some xml is going to be posted to the B2B internal channel and then on it will translate and send to Trading Partner.

Try to do my first XML Schema in SQL Server 2012 Mangement Studio(SSMS2012)-How to execute the xsd and xml files in SSMS2012?

Hi all,
I learmed the basic stuff of XML, DTD, DOM, etc. long time ago. Now, I came back to resume my XML journey and try to learn the XML Schemas, XPath and XQuery. I have Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012) in our computer network. From
Page 221 of the old Book "Beginning XML 2nd Edition" written by David Hunter, et.al., (published by Wrox), I copied the name5.xsd and name5.xml :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<schema xmlns=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://www.wrox.com/name" xmlns:target="http://www.wrox.com/name"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<element name="name">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="first" type="string"/>
<element name="middle" type="string"/>
<element name="last" type="string"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>
</schema>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<name
xmlns=http://www.wrox.com/name"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.wrox.org/2001XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.wrox.com/name name5.xsd"
title="Mr.">
<first>John</first>
<middle>Frizgerald</middle>
<last>Doe</last>
</name>
How can I execute these two files in my SSMS2012 for doing my first XML Schema trial?
Please kindly help, advise and respond.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Hi Eric Zhang, Thanks for your nice response.
1) I saw the CREATE XML SCHEMA COLLECTION (Transact-SQL) and tried its first example "Create XML schema collection in the database" in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012):
-- Create a sample database in which to load the XML schema collection.
-- Copied this set of code stsments from Microsoft Library (ms176009)
-- ColesMS12_20a.sql (saved in C:/Documents/SQL Server Management Studio)

It worked and I got the following results:

But, I don't undertand (i) what SCHEMA COECTION is, (ii) what <xsd:schema targetNamespace=.....</xsd:complexType> are, (iii) How I can specify my "project specific" schema in the Microsoft SCHEMA COLLECTION to check my xml file.
2) I dived in the XQuery programmimng in SSMS2012 in the last few weeks. I used the examles of Ad-Hoc XML File Query by Seth Delconte (in
httpS://www.simple-talk.com/content/print.aspx?article=1756) in my SSMS2012. They worked. But I don't understand the (i) Importing XML data using a function, (ii) Using the XQuery contans()
function to find substrings, (iii)Efficiency comparisons in the article.
Please kindly help me in enlightening me to resolve the difficulties listed in 1) and 2).
Thanks,

How to get report parameter in XML file

hi all,
i have created report with 5 parameters.i want report parameter to be linked with

how to do it.
anyone help pls.
thanks
rajesh

Hi,
Parameters appears in final XML file : It's describe in the XML Publisher Administration And Developper Guide.
You can use <?PARAMETER_NAME?> in your RTF file for example.
Documentation extract
parameter Attributes:
• name (Required) - the parameter name that will be referenced in the
template.
• dataType - valid values are: "character", "date", "number"
• defaultValue - value to use for the parameter if none supplied from the
data
• include_in_output - whether this parameter should appear in the XML
output or not. The valid values are "true" and "false".

Parameterized XSLT XML file

I apologize if this topic is out of place, but I can not find any forum more suitable to my question. Please advise.
I use XML and XSLT to render a "tree" in my jsp page. When user clicks a tree leaf, a new page is loaded.
Each user will see a different tree, depending on his role defined in the application. The worst thing I can do is to have a different XML file for each role.
Is is possible that I can have just one XML file defining a generic tree, and depends on user role, certain branches and leaves are displayable. In another words, is it possbile to have a XML file parameterized by an external variable.
The external variable here is the user role, which comes from a session scope bean.
MSXML has similar feature that is quite close, but my app is based on Java, Struts on Unix.

Thanks for the hint. I am newbie, and I am quite at lost to make this work.
Here is my tree xml file tree.xml ( a portion of if)
=======
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="../css/xmlTree.xsl"?>

<tree>

Here is the xmlTree.xsl

<script type="text/javascript" src="../js/xmlTree.js"></script>
</head>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="tree">
<body>
<b><xsl:value-of select="$roleNm"/></b>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</body>
</xsl:template>
Here is a portion of my jsp page
<frame name="nav_frame" bgcolor="#FFFFCC" src="tree.xm"/>' frameborder="0"
Can youn kindly give me a bit more detail where the setParameter call should be set ? I guess it will be a scriplet in my jsp, but I don't know how to put them together. Thanks
