How to open a cursor based on XML data?

Hello,
I am using Oracle 11g database.
I am required to write a stored procedure accepting an input of XML CLOB.
Upon receiving the CLOB, I'm required to open a cursor for XML tags and then process each 'XML record'.
I am not sure how to achieve this.
Referred to the following link: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28369/xdb03usg.htm#CEGDJEEI
But could not meet the requirement.
Appreciate your suggestions.
Amar

something
create or replace procedure prc (inxml clob, xml_cursor out sys_refcursor)
x xmltype;
begin
   select xmltype(inxml) into x from dual;
   open xml_cursor for
         select extractvalue(x,'/tag') from dual;

How to set dynamic color , based on xml element

Hi,
We have a requirement, where based on certain conditions, a cell will be shown in a specific color. We would like the coloir to be based on an XML element. The xml element will have values like '#FF00FF' etc..
We tried using xsl attribute with the following syntax ,
<xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="block"name="color"><?stdcolor?></xsl:attribute><?end if?>
where stdcolor is the xml element, but when we use this , this is giving a syntax error.
Let us know, if this is possible or is there any other alternate way to do this.
Regards,

Hi Vasu,

Build a table based on XML data set with Spry

Hi there,
I'm new to spry technology therefore forgive any basic question of mine.
I'm trying to fill content in a table based on XML data set values but nothing is shown :-(
here is my code.... any suggestion? pls tell me where I'm wrong.
Thank you in advance
<script src="SpryAssets/xpath.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryData.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var uscite = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("data/Calendario 2011.xml", "csv_data_records/record", {sortOnLoad: "Date", sortOrderOnLoad: "ascending"});
uscite.setColumnType("Date", "date");
uscite.setColumnType("km", "number");
</script>
<div class="RankContainer" id="UsciteDiv" spry:region="uscite" >
          <table width="100%" border="0" class="RankTable">
            <tr>
              <th width="10%" scope="col" spry:sort="Date">Data</th>
              <th width="20%" scope="col">Destinazione</th>
              <th width="5%" scope="col">KM</th>
              <th width="35%" scope="col">Percorso</th>
              <th width="30%" scope="col">Breve</th>
             
            </tr>
            <tr>
               <script type="text/javascript">
       var rows = uscite.getData();
    for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++)
     if (rows[i]["Mappa"].startsWith("/"))
      rowContent = "<td> si </td>";
     else
          rowContent = "<td> no </td>";
     document.write("<td>{Date}</td>");
     document.write("<td>"+rowContent+"</td>");
     document.write("<td>{km}</td>");
     document.write("<td>{Percorso}</td>");
     document.write("<td>{Breve}</td>");
      </script>
           </tr>
          </table>
       </div>

Sure this is how it should work (except that no anchor tag shall be present for Destinazione whereas Mappa has no real value in)

XmlDataProvider .... is gone completely in my Xaml file. Why? How many different ways to deal with xml data source through WPF

I followed a procedure described in a book.
1. insert "Inventory.xml" file to a project "WpfXmlDataBinding" .
2. add the XML data source through the data panel of "blend for 2013", named it "InventoryXmlDataStore" and store it in the current document.
3. dragged and droppped the nodes from the Data panel onto the artboard.
Then I checked my Xaml file against the one provided by the book
Xaml file by the book:
<Window.Resources>
<XmlDataProvider x:Key="InventoryDataSource"
Source="\Inventory.xml"
d:IsDataSource="True"/>

<DataTemplate x:Key="ProductTemplate">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=@ProductID}"/>

<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding XPath=HotItem}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Name}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<ListBox HorizontalAlignment="Left"
ItemTemplate="{DynamicResource ProductTemplate}"
ItemsSource="{Binding XPath=/Inventory/Product}"
Margin="89,65,0,77" Width="200"/>
</Grid>
my Xaml file:

All looks quite the same except the <XmlDataProvider ....> part under <Window.Resources>, which is gone completely in my Xaml file.

Never do yourself down Richard.
Leave that to other people.
It's quite common for smart developers to think they're not as good as they are.
I coach a fair bit and it's a surprisingly common feeling.
And to repeat.
Never use anything ends .. provider. They're for trivial demo apps. Transform xml into objects and use them. Write it back as xml. Preferably, use a database.
You want to read a little mvvm theory first.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_View_ViewModel
Whatever you do, don't read Josh Smiths explanation. I used to recommend it but it confuses the heck out newbies. Leave that until later.
Laurent Bugnion did a great presentation at mix10. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be working on the MS site, but I have a copy. Download and watch:

I'm writing an article at the moment which is aimed at beginners.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/30564.wpf-uneventful-mvvm.aspx
The sample is just a collection of techniques really.
I have a sample which involves no real data but is intended to illustrate some aspects of how viewmodels "do stuff" and how you use datatemplates to generate UI.
I can't remember if I recommended it previously to you:
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/WPF-Dialler-simulator-d782db17

Report Based on XML Data Template is timing out

Hi there,
i have an XML publisher report based on an XML data template that i've written. The report is working fine except when there is huge data that is supposed to come out, its timing out. Ive set the db_fetch_size parameter to 20 and scalable_mode to on but its still timing out.
If anyone has a solutiom or a thought it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
Well when i'm opening the report , i wait for about 15 seconds then 'Page Cannot be Displayed' appears on my browser. I'm having this case only when i'm expecting huge data. By huge data i mean that the report gets informations about a deal, when the deal has 10 categories the report runs fine, but when i add all catgories, about 1000, it gives me the 'Page cannot be displayed' error. I'm guessing its a time out issue since i've set the scalable_mode parameter to on. Any thoughts ???

How to use XmlModify to sort the XML Data?

Hello,
I saw some examples explain how to use XmlModify in BDB XML package. I want to sort the XML data by several elements but my Java program could not work correctly.
<CustomerData>
<Transaction>
<DLSFIELDS>
<ADR_PST_CD>12345</ADR_PST_CD>
<CLT_IRD_NBR>002</CLT_IRD_NBR>
</DLSFIELDS>
</Transaction>
<Transaction>
<DLSFIELDS>
<ADR_PST_CD>12345</ADR_PST_CD>
<CLT_IRD_NBR>102</CLT_IRD_NBR>
</DLSFIELDS>
</Transaction>
// many nodes like transaction ...
</CustomerData>
My XQuery script was executed successfully in the shell. The script looks as follows:
"for $i in collection('sample.dbxml')/CustomerData/Transaction order by xs:decimal($i//ADR_PST_CD), xs:decimal($i//CLT_IRD_NBR) return $i".
The Java code :
// create XmlManager
XmlManager manager = // ...;
// open XmlContainer
XmlContainer container = // ...;
XmlQueryContext context = manager.createQueryContext(XmlQueryContext.LiveValues, XmlQueryContext.Eager);
XmlQueryExpression expression = manager.prepare("for $i in collection('sample.dbxml')/CustomerData/Transaction order by xs:decimal($i//ADR_PST_CD),xs:decimal($i//CLT_IRD_NBR) return $i", context);
XmlModify modify = manager.createModify();
XmlUpdateContext uc = manager.createUpdateContext();
XmlDocument xmldoc = container.getDocument("sample.xml");
XmlValue value = new XmlValue(xmldoc);
long numMod = modify.execute(value, context, uc);
System.out.println("Peformed " + numMod     + " modification operations");
Could you point out the errors above or offer some suggestion?
Thanks.

I have other question of the sorting issue. Here are a large XML need to sort so I have to split it to multiple small XML files. After importing these files, I will use the XmlModify and XQuery to sort them. I'm not clear on the multiple XML files processing.
1. Can the BDB XML ensure that all these XML files were sorted or how to update all documents with same logic.
2. If I want export all these sorted documents, how can I ensure these files processed in sequence? Which document needs process first?
The export method:
public void export(String outputfile)throws Exception{
final int BLOCK_SIZE = 5 * 1024 * 1024; // 5Mb
try{
File theFile = new File(outputfile);
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(theFile);
byte[] buff= new byte[BLOCK_SIZE];
XmlResults rs = container.getAllDocuments(new XmlDocumentConfig());
while(rs.hasNext()){
     XmlDocument xmlDoc = rs.next().asDocument();
     XmlInputStream inputStream = xmlDoc.getContentAsXmlInputStream();
     long read=0;
     while(true){
     read = inputStream.readBytes(buff, BLOCK_SIZE);
fos.write(buff,0,(int)read);
     if(read < BLOCK_SIZE) break;
inputStream.delete();
xmlDoc.delete();
rs.delete();
//MUST CLOSE!
fos.close();
catch(Exception e){
System.err.println("Error exporting file from container " + container);
System.err.println(" Message: " + e.getMessage());
Thanks.

How to create a filter based on Effective date EFFDT

Hello to all,
I am currently creating reports from an HR database that stores records by employee (EMPLID) based on effective date(EFFDT) and Effective Sequence (EFFSEQ).
It is easy to get a report that shows all entries up to a certain data (using <= or >=), however, I am not able to create a Filter (in the report or in the prompt)
that shows me the MAX(EFFDT) up to a certain data dd/mm/yyyy. (any one)
The sql script we use is the follwiing
SELECT A.EFFDT, A.EFFSEQ, A.ACTION, A.EMPL_CLASS, *
FROM PS_JOB A
WHERE A.EMPLID=' ' ----*(PROMPT1)*
AND A.EFFDT=(SELECT MAX(B.EFFDT) FROM PS_JOB B
WHERE B.EMPLID=A.EMPLID
AND B.EFFDT<=' ') *(PROMPT2)*
AND A.EFFSEQ=(SELECT MAX(B.EFFSEQ) FROM PS_JOB B
WHERE B.EMPLID=A.EMPLID
AND B.EFFDT=A.EFFDT)
Do I need to create a variable? If yes, How?
Please send me your suggestions or past experiences with BI on the subject.
Thanks
Roberto

Hi Roberto,
I would create a session variable via the Oracle BI Administration Tool.
See the following of how to achieve this:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12096_01/books/admintool/admintool_Variables4.html
Reference this variable in your filter. It looks something like this VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."VARIABLE_NAME")
Good Luck,

How to open a pdf form with fdf data

Hi all,
I am working on a new project. In that, I have to load a PDF contract form with FDF data on Internet Explorer Window.
I don't know how to do it. Actually I tried using this format on the URL (while loading the respective page)
http://www.example.org/pdf_file_name.pdf#FDF=http://www.example.org/fdf_file_name.fdf
But it opened as an empty pdf document. . Actually I need it with the fdf data.
Can anyone know any other way to do this?
Or is this not possible to open a pdf form with fdf data in a browser?
Thanks in advance

Just now I got an idea to use WScript (the code is written in javascript)
ws = new ActiveXObject("WScript.shell");
ws.Run('"AcroRd32.exe" "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf"', 1, true);
this opens my fdf document in Acrobat reader using command prompt.
I have a doubt now, can i use some string in place of "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf" in the above command?
I mean something like fdf_file = "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf"
and replace ws.Run('"AcroRd32.exe" fdf_file,1,true). I tried it but it doesn't work Any idea's? Since the path will not remain the same always. So i need to change it

How to update the price based upon PGI date

Hi
I have issue of updation of the Prices and freight based on PGI date in the billing we are using the two billing types for the excsies and tax invoice creation .And in the copy control pricing type is maintained Aas "C" for the billing types with single delivery but someHow MRP in the excise billing has been picked from the condition record thats validity is ended and in Tax invoice it picks up the correct prices
Both pricing condition types has pricing type "B" from Billing date and in the freight we have maintained as "A" SRD
But for the some cases specially for the excise related part that is based upon the MRP we are facing this issue
Pricing date is some how coming from sales document
Please find the problem details in the attachment

Hi,
if you see two condition tabs snap shots you can understand clearly because that two invoices has been created in two different dates and you have maintained the pricing date C-billing date ( KOMK-FKDAT).Due to this,the price of ZMRP is coming differently.After you creation of first invoice then you would have changed ZMRP amount.Now while you are creating second invoice ,system has taken new price of ZMRP in billing level.
Note:While creating second invoice, PGI date might have come into billing level but someone would be changed billing date manually at header level of billing document.Please check that one also.
Kindly let me know if you need further help on this.
Thanks,
Naren

Report based on XML data???

Can we create report in APEX based on XML? I did not see the option but I am asking in case there is a trick to do it.
Mo

The Oracle XML APIs will support you writing a "select" statement against the XML that will produce output that an ApEx report 'expects'. As for tricks from there, I will defer to those that have done this before, but it is possible.

How to suppress a row based on current date - at query level?

In an Bex query report i have suppress rows based on current date.
There is no current date available in query.
there is a date field in the query.
If by chance the date in that field is lesser than current date, I have to suppress that row.
How can this be achieved?

What is the code ofr creating a variable to get values >= to current date?
I have implemented the following code which is not working.
data L_S_range like line of E_T_range[].
CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'GE'.
L_S_RANGE-LOW = SY-DATUM.
APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE[].
Actually i have written in class, which will be inherited in superclass.

How to List Sales Orders based on Creation Date and Delivery Priority

Dear all,
How can we list Sales Orders based on creation date and delivery priority.
I tried using vl10a transaction code, but there we can see sales order based on delivery date.
we need to list all sales order based on delivery priority and sales order creation date.
can any one of you tell me which standard report gives such kind of report. Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thank you
Raghu Ram

Hi Raghu,
There is no st report available as per your req.
Using SQVI, you develope one report that is list of sales orders based on your req.
SQVI is used to convert a Quick View into a query.
Quick Viewer:
The Quick Viewer allows you to define reports without having to program yourself. The Quick
Viewer is especially useful for new users and occasional use.
Quick Viewer is a tool for generating reports. SAP Query offers the user a whole range of options for defining reports. SAP Query also supports different kinds of reports such as basic lists, statistics, and ranked lists. Quick Viewer, on the other hand, is a tool that allows even relatively inexperienced users to create basic lists.
Quick View definitions are user-dependent. You can transfer a Quick View into SAP Query in order to make reports, for example, accessible to additional users, or to use the other functions available in SAP Query.
The following is a comparison of Quick Views and queries:
Quick Views possess the same functional attributes as queries. However, only basic lists may be defined with Quick Views.
In contrast to queries, no user group assignment is necessary with Quick Views. Each user has his/her own personal list of Quick Views. Quick Views cannot be exchanged between users. Quick Views may, however, be converted to queries and then be made available to other users in a specific user group.
Info Sets are not required for Quick View definition. Whenever you define a Quick View, you can specify its data source explicitly. Tables, database views, table joins, logical databases, and even Info Sets, can all serve as data sources for a Quick View. You can only use additional tables and additional fields if you use an Info Set as a data source.
The Quick Viewer uses various controls. Certain hardware and software requirements must also be fulfilled before you can use the Quick Viewer.
To define a Quick View, you select certain fields according to your data source that determine the structure of your report. The report can be executed in basis mode with standard layout or may be edited using drag and drop and the other toolbox functions available in WYSIWYG mode.
Reports created using the Quick Viewer may also be passed to external programs (Excel, for example).
Call the Quick Viewer using System -> Services -> Quick Viewer (or transaction SQVI).
Enter the name of the Quick View. Quick View names can contain a maximum of 14 characters.
Choose Create.
Enter a title for the Quick View and remarks, if you think they are relevant.
If you do not want to base your list on a table, use the possible entries pushbutton in the Data source field to select another data source. You can choose logical databases or Info Sets. In addition, you may also create table joins. For further information, see Selecting a Data Source.
Choose Basis mode if you want to create the list directly with no list design. Choose Layout mode if you want to define the layout of your list yourself.
SQVI Table Quick viewer Used to created quick client dependent reports
Probably the easiest and most flexible way to do this is thru one of the ABAP query transactions.
Transaction SQVI can do this and it has a very good help function that explains how it works... the drawback is that it is only for one user.
You can play around with it and see if it meets your needs...
The query results will come back in an ALV Grid or Excel... you can select what fields are returned, and have a selection screen to enter the search criteria.
You can get the report by joining the tables VBAK and VBAP.
If you have any queries, i will forward screen shots to your id.
Reward points pls.
Regards,
Govind.

How to Allow Reader Users to Save XML Data and Send?

A huge problem w/ LiveCycle Designer is (this is what I found), by clicking the "Submit via Email" button, the Adobe Reader is trying to connect to the local default email program, like outlook express.
However, public computers are usually banned the users to launch an email program, and users are more likely to check email within a webpage. I noticed a number of students close the Reader after filling out the form but failing to send back the data.
Anyway that I can allow a Reader user to be able to save .xml data file so he/she can attach to web-based email?
Thanks Everybody!

If you have Acrobat there is a subset of Reader Extensions functionality available in there that will allow you to Reader Extend the form to do local saves. The license agreement limits you to 500 uses. If you need more than that there is a server option that is more expensive but has no limits on users.
