How to reference MS Database from XML datasource?

Hi,
I have been tasked with writing an XML BI Publisher report that involves pulling data stored on our SQLServer database. I wasn't sure how to do this so I searched through my documentation and found information on Distributed Queries which I think addresses what I am trying to do. So I created a simple datasource test script based on the documentation to see if I could access the SQLServer database but I am having problems getting this to work. I created a datasource script, setup a concurrent job and tried to run the report but I'm getting a "java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended" error.
Can somebody please help me in regard to my problem and tell me what I'm doing wrong? I am using the XML Word plugin 10.1.3.4.1. Here's the datasource code.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<dataTemplate name="XXKNC_TIMECENTRE_TEST" description="XXKNC - TimeCentre XML" dataSourceRef="TimeCentre" version="1.0">
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q1_TimeCentre">
<![CDATA[
SELECT DISTINCT CardID, EmployeeName
FROM tc2kdb.dbo.EmployeeT
where CardID < 500
order by EmployeeName
]]>
</sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataStructure>
<group name="G_TimeCentre" source="Q1_TimeCentre">
<element name="CardID" value="CardID" />
<element name="EmployeeName" value="EmployeeName" />
</group>
</dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>
Thank you,
Steve

Bipuser,
That still didn't work. I was thinking about this and my problem. When I am trying to access a database on the sqlserver I have to tell Oracle this by adding dataSourceRef="TimeCentre" to my datasource correct? But my TimeCentre reference is set up as an ODBC connection and I think this is the problem. Where or how do I setup this connection if we are not using BI Publisher server and only using the MS Word Pulgin? Or does Oracle somehow know that dataSourceRef="TimeCentre" is referencing a SqlServer database over an ODBC connection? I'm not sure if I should be setting up the TimeCentre link differently.
Thanks again for taking time to help me with this problem,
Steve

For the first time when i complied i got the errors as :

So i logged in as sys & grant the permission to execute on UTL_FILE to ridb (user):
SQL Statement:
grant execute on utl_file to ridb
So, it got compiled successfully but when i execute it gives me error as:
Source does not have a runnable target.
What does this mean?
So I browse through forum & i got to know that i need to initial the UTL_FILE_DIR ="C:/OracleProject" in init.ora
So can i edit the init.ora with notepad.When i tried to do that it says permission denied
In my system it shows the init.ora file in path C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\config\scripts
but there is also other file initXETemp in the same path do i need to do the changes in it.
I have tried even editing the SPFILE as mentioned below:
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\dbs\SPFILEEXE - I had edit this file using notepad & set the value of UTL_FILE_DIR ="C:/OracleProject". So next time when i restarted i'm unable to log on to the database.
So i had reinstall the software again.
Could you please let me know how to proceed..

How to move SQL database from one location to another location i.e. from C' drive to D' drive

Hi, How to move SQL database from one location to another location i.e. from C' drive to D' drive ? please share some link.
Thanks and Regards, Rangnath Mali

Hi Rangnath,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to move databased from C drive to D drive.
You can detach Database so that the files become independent, cut and paste the files from source to destination and attach again.
There are two similar posts for your reference:

How to connect mysql database using xml

welcome to all,
here my doubt is how to connect mysql database using xml file, how to integrate xml file and jsp file and how to access data from dabase using jsp file. can any one help me
regards

Short answer: you wouldn't do any of those things. The first two are meaningless and the third is a bad practice. I have no idea what those ideas were supposed to achieve so I have no idea what tutorials I should suggest to you.

How to get string value from xml in JSF??

In JSF How to get string value from xml, .ini and properties file. I want to get string value from xml or text to JSF

Just use the appropriate API's for that. There are enough API's out which can read/parse/write XML, ini and properties files. E.g. JAXP or DOM4J for xml files, INI4J for ini files and Sun's own java.util.Properties for propertiesfiles.
JSF supports properties files as message bundle and resource bundle so that you can use them for error messages and/or localization.

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

How to connect oracle database from tuxedo

Hi,
How to connect oracle database from tuxedo.
If any one can help me.
Regards,

it depends on configuration your going to choose, there are two ways--
- Using X/Open standards, for this
you have to make an entry of Resource manager in $TUXDIR/udataobj/RM file.
Then in UBBConfig file in GROUPS section u have to set Openinfo.
It also depend on which database you are going to use.
In your service now you need to call tpopen() API from tpsvrinit() function.
- Other possibility is, take an implicit connection using Pro*C or Pro*Cobol whatever platform you are using.

How the data extraction happens from HR datasources from R/3 to BW system.

Hello All
How the data extraction happens from HR datasources from R/3 to BW system.Incase of delta records ( for CATS datasources ) ,Is there any flow like LO .
Incase of Full and delta loads how does the data will be taken from R/3 to BW,DO we need to fill setup tables ?
Searched forum but couldnt able to find the relevant one.
Thankyou
Shankar

Hi Shankar.
HR Datasources do not have setup tables . Though before implementation, certain customizations should be done and the delta loads have dependency on other data sources. Also you must have implemented Support Package SAPKH46C32, or have made the relevant corrections in SAP Note 509592.
Follow this link for details on customization and dependencies for all CATS datasources.

Unfortunately this method as proven to be not so good, and and can't get it to work with netbeans 7.
Is there a best way to do this?? Any recommendation on this matter will be appreciated.
