How to Merge multiple XML  files in one file ( Env: XML Publisher 5.6.2)

All,
I have recently started working on XML publisher and have developed 3 reports in last 2 days using XML Publisher and integrating them with Concurrent programs.
This is a great tool.
I have got another requirement, where i need to use xml file generated by multiple run of same report with various parameters and then merge all xml file to a single report. Developing the whole custom process will take very long time and sure will have bugs in it. Instead i was thinking to use xml file generated by Oracle report itself.
Report "US Gross to net summary" generates xml output in standard output directory and then show output in PDF file. I have 7 such file generated for each payroll. I want to merge output of xml into a single xml so that i can create single report having data from all 7 xml files showing me All payroll output in a single report.
Can someone please guide me , how can i read xml file data from the output directory of a seeded concurrent program and how to manipulate data in it.
Thanks
Ankur

Hi Tim,
Thanks for replying. I have looked for "PDFBookBinder class" in xml publisher user guide for ver 5.6.2. I didn't get any reference of this text. Can you please guide me to a tutorial/link where i can get more information about this class.
Also, i originally thought of similar to your second logic, as my design basis. Oracle process generates the xml file in output directory which i can get. What i didn't get is how do i "pick them up and merge" using publisher. Also, is there way to do this merging process using pl/sql ? Can you please give little more information on your second approach.
My original plan of action is that i will create a report set in which i will call oracle seeded report for all 7 payrolls in a sequential manner. Then using the child requests of the report set i will get to 7 xml files generated by seeded oracle process. Then the piece i am not sure of , i will use those 7 files to generate a single xml file having payroll name as tree top for each output. Once single xml is ready, i can easily design a template and register the process to generate output as Excel.This process will not require me to actually change any data or do any calculation. It will only reformatting the feilds we see and abiity to see all 7 payroll at one time rather then entering these numbers manually into an excel to do analysis.
Please provide your feedback, if you think above plan is not feasible or need corrections.
Best Regards,
Ankur

  • How to apply multiple automator workflows to one file

    Hi everyone,
    I've set up a few workflow applications to automate the process of making packshots from PDF files. The way those roughly work is they create a temporary copy in a folder, open a Photoshop droplet that executes all the actions on the file, and then save the finished product in a "finished" folder.
    However, we frequently need to deliver multiple packshots made from the same file. I was asked to make one automator app that allowed us to drop the PDF version on it, resulting in the multiple types of packshots in the "finished" folder, together with the original PDF.
    The way I have this set up right now is as follows:
    1) Copy the original PDF file to the "finished" folder
    2) Execute the first automator app
    3) Execute the second automator app
    This seems simple enough, and does work in 10.6.8. When I try it on a different computer in our studio though, with 10.7 installed, I get various errors:
    - Sometimes it says an error occured within one of the automator apps, while the app works fine when running it seperately (on all computers).
    - Sometimes it says something like "An error occurred while converting the data" when moving on from the first application to the second application
    - Sometimes I'll get an error message in the log, saying:
    *** -[_NSArrayl objectAtIndex:]: index 0 beyond bounds for empty array
    What I got from this is that it's actually not getting the right input it requires (or not getting any input, since it's an empty array). However, the previous task is set to "return the task input" (our systems are Dutch so excuse me for any discrepancies in translations please), and the resulting output that I get seems to be what I want the next automator application to use. Below is a screenshot of the error message:
    What I've tried:
    - I read somewhere that the newer versions of Automator require the action "Retrieve selected finder items" between them. I've tried using this in various ways (between all other actions/tasks, only before the second application to be run and before both applications to be run), but with no success. The problem I have with these is that, during the applications, it moves the files around, thus apparently selecting those folders as well.
    - Building an entirely new workflow on the newer system
    - Using "Start application" instead of "Execute Automator workflow". This results in Automator saying that it did execute the workflow while nothing happened.
    - Using "Ignore input" for the second application. This also results in Automator saying that it executed the workflow while nothing happened.
    So right now, I'm pretty stumped as to how to get this combination of apps to work in 10.7. Any solutions or workarounds are most welcome.
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, angelanna. You can merge or split your video file via FCP sequence.
    ahaah, maybe I think angelanna would like to get the resulting file with MTS format because he mentioned “No need to be compressed”. Are you asking for this, angelanna?
    If so, a simple MTS files managing and editing tool  is needed. Maybe you can have a try the Mac version of Aunsoft Final Mate for managing HD camcorder footages. I just downloaded its free trial version and it offers a simple way of garping footages directly  from camcorder. And also it provides a attractive feature to join flawlessly and split accurately native MTS files for video file output with original MTS format.
    Maybe this is the tool cwhich an help you out, angelanna.
    Enjoy your video.

  • How to save multiple snap shots in one file?

    Hi,
    I've been trying to take snap shots using a USB camera and save the
    them into one file; however, I've had no luck with the saving part. Can
    anybody help me with this problem? I've attached the code I'm using in
    case anybody wants to take a look.
    Thank You,

    Camera Snap Shot1.vi ‏100 KB

    Hi Molana,
    If you are looking to save these images to file, you can use either the IMAQ Writefile VIs, or potentially the AVI writefile VIs.  These VIs are both on the FIle I/O palette of the Vision Utilities subpalette.  To write an AVI file, you <b>open</b>, write to, and then <b>close</b> a session, very similar to most processes in LabVIEW.
    I also noticed in your code that you are enumerating your USB cameras and closing the camera session all within the while loop.  This adds a great deal of overhead and time to your acquisition process.  I would recommend moving these processes outside of the acquisition loop, such that they occur once before and once after the snaps.
    If you are still having trouble acquiring, I would recommend that you download and install the NI IMAQ driver.  It includes examples for snapping and saving images with NI IMAQ.  This process is extremely similar to that which you would use in NI IMAQ for USB.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do I merge 2 pdf files into one file?

    How do I merge 2 pdf files into one file?

    I use PrimoPDF (free download) to create pdf files. To merge two docs/pdfs/etc., print the first to a new pdf using Primo. Close it, then print the second and save it to the same new pdf. Primo gives you the option to 'append' or 'overwrite' the original file. By using 'append', you are just adding it to the back of the existing file. You can do this repeatedly to resort or combine existing pages into a new pdf.

    If you only want to merge some content, open both pst files in outlook and drag between folders. For calendar, use a list view to see all of the appointments.

  • How to keep multiple function modules under one Web service

    Hi Experts,
    I have Three RFC function modules and i need to create one web service for these three RFC function modules. I know How to crearte a web service for one function module.
    please suggest me How to keep multiple function modules under one Web service.
    Thanks in advance
    Lakshminarayana

    Hi Lakshmi,
    The best way to do it is to assign all the three RFC Enabled FM's to one function group. Later on the top menu in Utilities you get an option to Create a Webservice from a Function Group.
    You can create one single Webservice using all the the 3 FM's.
    I hope this helps.

  • How to setup multiple base station under one network?

    How to setup multiple base station under one network? I have 6 rooms but one airport base station makes really difficult to get good signal from every rooms. I wonder if I can setup multiple airport base stations talking to each other under the same network to build up the signal strength will help solve this problem. But, is it possible? How?

    One route would be to utilize a "roaming" network. In a roaming network, you would connect multiple AirPort Extreme Base Stations (AEBS) to the same Ethernet. Of course, this would require that your home is already wired for Ethernet.

    i want to merge mp3 files into one file so i can play a mix in i tunes without pauze

    Audacity is what you need.
    Obviously you need to create a new MP3 file of the combined songs and not delete the originals.
    If your DJ-ing and/or just have too many songs to do that, then look at the free VirtualDJHome version, gives you a lot of control over your music playback.
