How to generate xml using "Data Template"

Hi,
Can any one please tell me the steps to create xml using "Data Template".
As per the user guide the execution method for "data Template" is "Java Concurrent Program" and the Executable mentiones is "XDODTEXE".
But there is no information about the "execution file name" and "execution path name" which is mandatory.
Thanks and Regards,
Sandhya

Hi Sandhya,
To put a Data Template into use, you don't need to define any new executables. XDODTEXE executable is already registered in the system, as it ships with the application. The Data Template is not an executable as such, but a collection of instructions for what queries to perform and what should the resulting XML look like. XDODTEXE knows how to interpret those instructions, and produce the XML output.
(And if you add a layout template, handle that too.)
You do need to do the following:
1) Create a new Data Definition (XML Publisher Administrator > Data Definitions)
2) Upload your Data Template (remember the Code for the next step)
3) Create a Concurrent Program that is linked to the Data Definition (Short Name = Code) (System Administrator > Program > Define)
4) Add your Concurrent Program to a Request Group (System Administrator > Security > Responsibility > Request)
I recommend you take a look at the XML Publisher Administration and Developer's Guide, you will find more information there.

Create XML using Data Templates

Is anyone familiar will a tool, other than oracle that will create XML from data template definitions.
I trying to understand if the data template definitions are an Oracle specific tool that only Oracle can use to generate XML files.
If this is specific to Oracle, is there an easier way to use the data templates to generate XML without registering them in the concurrent manager, XMLP Admin, and then executing the concurrent process?
I'm looking for a shortcut to testing these files without having to register everything.

Why not using XML Publisher Standalone aka Enterprise 5.6.2 ?
There you can generate the XML based on data templates without registering anything. The installation is quite easy.

You could use XMLQuery to return the data from your tables as XML, that would give you a CLOB.
An example using the SCOTT schema might be like this:
SELECT XMLQuery(
         'for $i in ora:view("DEPT")/ROW
          return <Department dname="{$i/DNAME}">
                 <Employee>
                   {for $j in ora:view("EMP")/ROW
                    where $j/DEPTNO eq $i/DEPTNO
                    return ($j/ENAME, $j/JOB, $j/SAL)}
                 </Employee>
                 </Department>'

Hi
we are using XML Publisher attached to R12 , we are using data template ( .XML file) in data definition .
we have a requirement for master details report. for that we have parent query and child query .the data coming to parent query should be the parameter to child query
Exp-- Parent Query-- select empno from emp
Child Query --select * from dept where empno=:p_empno (p_empno =empno from Parent query )
For this requirement we are creating a data template (.XML file) . we are successfully to write for the parent query, but we fails when come to child query. Please help us how it can be wrote in data template . You can send any example related to this issue.

This forum is noway related to XML Publisher. I had redirected you to the actual BI Publisher already once. You should post it there.

Generating XML Using JAVA

How to generate XML usng java without using following.
import org.apache.xerces.dom.DocumentImpl;

import org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer;
XML to be generated is as follows.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Modi xmlns:xsi="Modi/Modi1">

</index>
</indexConfig>
</upload>

Two answers.
If you want to not use any of the XML-oriented classes, you can use a PrintWriter. Just code:
PrintWriter pw = new PrinteWriter(whatever);
pw.println( "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>" );
etc.If you want to use XML-oriented classes, but just not these 3 (can't imagine why), then use
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
instead of XMLSerializer and OutputFormat, and
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
instead of the DocumentImpl

EBS-R12 Generate XML (with data) from Embedded Data Definition

Hi
I'm new to running XMLP/BIP in EBS.
I have found the extensive set of data definitions and templates in EBS and they work great out of the box.
I, however, need to make template modifications.
To this end, a correctly structured XML data template - containing all the data fields - is needed for loading into the template-builder in Word.
If for example I take the embedded R12 data definition - XLAJELINESRPT.xml - for Posted Payable Invoices, and load it into the template builder, it provides the structure of the data template and not the structure of the output XML data.
I have tried several ways to run the Data definition through XMLP using the concurrent manager attempting to intercept the generated XML (with data) but it either completes the process and uses the linked output template - producing the PDF - or other output - or if I remove the (output template altogether) it fails with an error.
Maybe I'm missing an obvious step, but there has to be a way of taking the very comprehensive Data Definitions embedded in R12 EBS and using them in custom report templates.
If I've totally missed the point, please give me the steps to follow.
Many thaks in anticipation.
Mike MacMurray

HI Mike,
You cannot load your Data Template into the MS Word Template Builder plugin, as it cannot be run to generate XML this way.
You have two options to get the data from an XML Publisher Report run as a concurrent program in EBS.
1) Using the XML Publisher Administrator responsibility, set an end date for both the Data Defintion and Template Definitions associated with the XLAJELINESRPT report.
2) Leave the concurrent program, Data Defintions and Template Definitions exactly as they are and run the report. Once the report has completed, select the Concurrent Request, click "Diagnostics" then click "View XML". This will open the XML in a new browser window. You can then right click, View Source and then save this document locally.
You can then load this XML into the MS Word Template Builder and start building your template.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Cj

HTML tags not displayed when using Data Template

Hi All...
I'm developing a BI Publisher report in which one of the columns is a clob data type. I'm using an xsl stylesheet to format the data present in the clob column.
I've developed the report using data template as the data set. The problem is the clob column which has the HTML tags where not displayed properly...for example
the tag starting with
<
is replaced with
& lt;
I did a couple of searches in this forum and in tim's blog but couldn't find a proper solution...

I came to know that data template cannot generate proper HTML tags for release 10.1.3.2. Is there any work around way to get the proper HTML tags when data template is used as a data set?
Thanks in Advance...

Issue could be with the data that is selected in the other environment. It generally happens that the ALV will not give the same results as in the DEV in the other systems.
Possible errors could be the control break statements in the loop...endloop block. validate the correctness of the control break stmts if any.

How to generate and use Matlab(R2007) .dll's in Labview

Is there a step-by-step example on how to generate and use Matlab(R2007) .dll's in Labview.
Our experimenal hardware is LabView-controlled and we want to pass
images/2d intensity arrays to a more complex matlab program that will
return an array of extracted data which we want to use in LabView again.
Thank you
Carsten

I recommend having a wrapper created around the matlab dll that converts the datatypes for you. There is a lot of fooling around with pointers involved which is very difficult in LabVIEW. btw, this got much more complicated after Matlab 7. Essentially, you need to convert your inputs into mxArrays, and then add those mxArrays to an mxArray list that you pass by pointer into the matlab dll. You also need to create a mxArray list for the outputs from the dll which you will need to extract your data out of before converting it back into a LabVIEW supported datatype. It's a big hassle. We do this pretty often, but we have created a c library that handles all the conversions, so it is feasible for us. Unfortunately, I can't share the library, but hopefully this information will help you get where you want to be.
Like I said, it would be easier if you can just get a c developer to write a wrapper for you to keep it simple in LabVIEW. Alternatively, you might try getting your m-code to work in Mathscript.

How to generate XML file based on XSD in SSIS

please provide step by step process to create xml based on XSD in SSIS

Hi hemasankar,
In SQL Server Integrated Services, we can generate XML Schema (XSD) file based on a XML file with XML Source Editor. If we want to generate XML file based on a XSD file, we can use Generate Sample XML feature in Visual Studio. For more details, please refer
to the following steps:
Click on "XML Schema Explorer" or 'Use the XML Schema Explorer...' to open XML Schema Explorer in Visual Studio.
If your Schema file is valid and you are having elements, right-click on element and click on "Generate Sample XML", this functionality generates XML file in temp folder and open ups in the XML Editor.
The following two document about how to generate XML file based on a XSD file are for your reference:

How to generate xml-file for SAP Fiori (UI add-on) with Solution Manager 7.0.1?

Hello Guru,
could you please help with my issue with Fiori Installation.
We want to install SAP Fiori Front-End (GW+UI) on the Sandbox system with SAP Netweaver 7.3.1. (SP14)
Gateway component (SAP GW CORE 200 SP10) was installed without any problems.
But I need to install UI-add-on (NW UI Extensions v1.0) and when I try to install it via SAINT, transaction said me that I need to generate xml-file for it (as in General notes for UI add-on mentioned).
But I have Solution Manager 7.0.1 and in MOPZ for this version I do not have option "install Add-on" as it written in Guide for ui add-on installation.
Could you please help me with advice how to generate xml-file for UI add-on installation on SolMan v.7.0.1?
If where is no way, but only to upgrade Solution Manager, maybe somebody could give me xml-file for your system (for NW 731) and I will change it to my needs, I will be very grateful!
Thanks in advance for any help!!!
Bets regards,
Natalia.

Bursting entire report as a single file by using Data Template

Hi,
I have created a report by using data template, which consists of 3 queries.
Is it possible to burst the entire report in one single file? without splitting based on any criteria?
Something like I want to use a constant value key so that report will split into one file ONLY.
Please advice.
Regards
Muarli.

You are right in saying that I dont want to use the burst option.. but the problem with FTP delivery, is that I can't pass the date parameter in the file name. Only fixed single file name is provided there..
Work around for this is to use bursting option to pass corresponding parameter value in output file.
I'm facing the problem that by using data template source, I can't burst in enterprise edition based on SQL statement.
Getting the below error:
oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.scheduler.ProcessingException: java.lang.NullPointerException
     at oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.scheduler.XDOJob.runBurstingReport(XDOJob.java:2116)

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
     at oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.scheduler.XDOJob.runBurstingReport(XDOJob.java:2018)
     ... 3 more
Bursting Definitions I used are as below.
     Bursting Node          /SCHEME_SETT_SUMMARY/LIST_G_VALUE_DATE/G_VALUE_DATE/ssc_code
     Delivery Node           /SCHEME_SETT_SUMMARY/LIST_G_VALUE_DATE/G_VALUE_DATE/ssc_code
But the same report is running and I can schedule by using FTP delivery without bursting option successfully.
Please assist in resolving this issue.

Murali.

Generating XMLs using queries

Hi All,
We have a situation as in where we have to generate a XML out of Oracle UCM. I want to know is there any way where i can generate XML using the reaultset of some query.
Any inputs will be useful..
Thanks.

Hi!
In IdocScript, you can work with the resultset and generate XML as you want ....
You could also make your own java component that would generate XML.
