I want to produce an XML file from XML Publisher and Burst it as XML

Hi,
I have XML data and I want to make a template that will generate an XML file from this data so I will be able to burst it.
The output file of the bursting needs to be XML.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Chen.

If you used your computer as part of the VHS to DVD process, then you'll have a digital audio file that we can find, but I'm guessing you used a VHS to DVD standalone recorder. If so, you can use some free software called MPEG Streamclip:
- insert your DVD, and Quit from the DVD Player if it starts automatically.
- start MPEG Streamclip and open the DVD; then open the Video TS folder and open the first of the .VOB files (repeat this step until you find the file you're interested in).
- use the Export to AIFF option and you'll have the audio file.
- you'll be able to bring this file into iTunes, burn it to CD, etc.

  • How to read a XML file from BLOB column and insert in a table - PL/SQL Only

    Hi,
    To make data load more simple to end user instead placing file on the server and use SQL-LOADER, I came up with new idea that using oracle ebusiness suite attachment functionality. that loads a XML file from local PC to a database column(table is fnd_attachments, default data type is BLOB over here).
    I tried with DBMS_LOB and didnt get around.
    Please can anyone tell me how to read the BLOB column using PL/SQL and store the data in a oracle table. Here's the sample XML file and table structure FYI.

  • Reading XML file from application server and  put into internal table-4.6C

    Dear All,
    Is there any way of reading XML file from application server to SAP? I am using 4.6C. Function module SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING function module is not available. Please suggest.
    Thanks and regards,
    Atanu

    Hi Atanu!
    Simply use the XSLT transformation 'ID'.
    FIELD-SYMBOLS <ls_result> TYPE ANY.
    CREATE DATA lref_data TYPE (your_structure).
    ASSIGN lref_data->* TO <ls_result>.
    CALL TRANSFORMATION id
                        SOURCE XML xmlstr
                        RESULT result = <ls_result>.
    "xmlstr" contains your XML file. Just read it into it via standard I/O operations. "<ls_result>" will contain your DDIC formatted content.
    Best regards

  • Receive XML file from CIDX adapter and Post to SAP as IDoc using XI

    I have scenario where we will receive the xml file from CIDX adapter. I need to take the xml from CIDX, do the Database Lookup and post it to SAP as IDoc.
    Any technical documentaion or step-by-step process documents can be very helpfull to me, since I am new to XI
    Thanks
    SP

    Lookup in XI is used to call the target data storage system and get data from there to your mapping programme.
    In XI you can do Lookup in Message Mapping, Java Mapping and in XSLT Mapping. Previously Lookup in XI was system dependent. But now what ever the system are i.e. SAP system or non-sap system(Oracle,MS SQL etc) lookup API are same.
    Overview of Lookup
    - Lookups are used to identify/request the data from mapping program.
    - It interrupt the process and looking for data which was stored in target system.
    - It get that data and comeback to process and continue with that data.
    Types of Lookups in XI
    - JDBC Lookup: JDBC lookup is used for accessing data from database (non SAP).
    - RFC Lookup: RFC lookup is used for accessing the SAP Data.
    - SOAP Lookup: SOAP lookup is used for accessing data from Webservice
    Steps to perform Lookup in Mapping
    Import package com.sap.aii.mapping.lookup.*;
    Create connection to the target Database system.
    // Determine communication channel created in ID
    Channel channel = null;
    channel = LookupService.getChannel("DB-SYSTEM-NAME","DB-CHANNEL-NAME");
    // Get system accessor for the channel.
    DataBaseAccessor accessor = null;
    accessor = LookupService.getDataBaseAccessor(channel);
    Build the Query String.
    Getting Result
    // Execute Query and get the values.
    DataBaseResult resultSet = null;
    resultSet = accessor.execute(Query);

  • Finding and retrieving an XML file from an application and an applet

    I have a problem.
    I have data stored in an XML file. I want to be able to call that file and store it into a document object from an application standing alone on a computer as weel as from an applet that would be running over the web.
    I don't know how to do this.
    When I use a relative path name for the application it attaches the path of the folder that contains java.exe. I could do something with the class path but this wouldn't help the end user of the application on a different computer. For similar reasons I don't want to hard code because I don't know where the final applet will be stored.
    I have a table that holds, sorts and filters the data so I want the table to collect the data, I don't want to dictate the path from the applet or the application, I want a method that is consistant with both scenarios.
    Can anyone offer some advice?

    I've just finished trying it out, here is what I did:
    String xmlDocName="filename.xml";
    java.net.URL fileURL=this.getClass().getResource(xmlDocName);
    private final String fileName = fileURL.toString().substring(6);
    The substring removes the "file:/" from the URL.
    This works fine in the IDE, I have even stored the xml file in a lower folder e.g. package_folder/xml_folder/filename.xml and replaced the xmlDocName with "xml_folder/filename.xml" and it worked fine.
    I haven't tried it in an applet because I'm running IE and as you are well aware there are problems with swing and IE applets. But you answer deserves the Duke Dollars, thank you very much.

  • Create XML file from internal table and vise a versa

    Hi Friends,
    I have requirement to create an XML string from internal table data and also read XML string data to internal table.
    Can anybody tell are there any Function Modules or methods existing for this?
    Thanks.
    Krishna Yerram.

    1. Write XSLT program. T.code XSLT . e.g. XSLT name "ZTRANS".
    2. Write ABAP program
    Which includes declaration of internal tables
    that you need "IT_DATA".
    Upload XML data to an internal table "IT_XML "
    use below statement to convert XML to internal table.
    Call transformation ZTRANS
    source XML IT_XML
    result IT_DATA.

  • Can I load xml file from SWC without using @embed

    I'm developing a mobile application in which I need to load xml files from File.applicationDirectory. This works great if the xml files are part of the main application swf. But I would like to move these xml files into a SWC so they could be shared across multiple applications.
    Using FlashBuilder 4.5, when a SWC is built, I can specify files to embed in the library that are not assets (Assets Tab of Flex Library Build Path). For various design reasons, I do NOT want to embed the xml files via @embed.
    When the swc is built and I open it up using a zip utility, I see the xml files in there just fine. So they are being bundled with the SWC. But how can I load these files in my main application that does not involve using @embed? When the main application is built, the swc setting for link type is "merged into code".
    I wouldn't expect the application to automatically pull out the xml files from the swc and place them in the File.applicationDirectory on the mobile device. I've tried loading from there just in case but file.exists is false (as expected).
    I've searched the web (and continue to do so) and all the answers seem to be to use @embed. Is there another way?
    Randy

    It's actually a lot easier than you think.
    Just reference the file like any'ol URL using a path relative to the SWC's src directory.
    So if you include the file "assets/xml/some.xml", just use that same string like you would any remote resource.
    For example:
    var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader( new URLRequest("assets/xml/some.xml"));
    I believe it would also work like this "/assets/xml/some.xml", but I prefer relative paths so the link doesnt break if moved out of the SWC...

  • Getting xml file from web for iPhone App

    Im having an app get an xml file from the web and process it. Ive got the processing part down, ive even got the downloading part done. Problem is so far ive only downloaded a generic xml file hardcoded into the app. I need the user to input a value of the file to get. As a matter of fact, ive been thinking that i may even use the UniqueIdentifier for the iphone to make the file unique enough without the hassle of having to search thru user/pass combinations. So i have the webform to have users enter the values and then their iphones unique ID. But i need to have the user get the unique ID from their phone. Unfortunately ive been able to find this:
    UIDevice *device = [UIDevice currentDevice];
    NSString *uniqueIdentifier = [device uniqueIdentifier];
    [device release];
    NSLog(@"Device GUID:%@", uniqueIdentifier);
    but this number does not show up on the iPhone UserInterface, so my user would have no way of knowing what his/her uniqueIdentifier is
    So my question is 2-fold:
    1. If UniqueIdentifier is the best way to go, how do i have my users visualize their UniqueIdentifier in order to give their xml file that name?
    2. If the user/pass is the best way to go, id have to store user, pass and file name in a database online and have the user create an account which would generate a unique idFilename for him/her and that way fetch the file.

    Hi Marcio -
    I suspect I don't understand your requirements, so if my reply is irrelevant, please tell us a little more about what you're trying to do.
    Marcio Valenzuela wrote:
    1. If UniqueIdentifier is the best way to go, how do i have my users visualize their UniqueIdentifier in order to give their xml file that name?
    I'm not sure what you mean by visualize. If you want the user to see the device id, why not populate a label or text field with it? Otherwise, why not just insert the id into the request yourself? E.g.:
    UIDevice *device = [UIDevice currentDevice];
    NSString *uniqueIdentifier = [device uniqueIdentifier];
    // [device release]; <-- do not release object you don't own
    NSLog(@"Device GUID:%@", uniqueIdentifier);
    textField1.text = uniqueIdentifier; // if we think the user wants to see this
    [self addIdToRequest:uniqueIdentifier]; // implementation is an exercise for the student
    2. If the user/pass is the best way to go, id have to store user, pass and file name in a database online and have the user create an account which would generate a unique idFilename for him/her and that way fetch the file.
    This is up to you. If the download isn't confidential info, it might be ok to rely on the device id. Otherwise you clearly put the owner's info at risk in case someone else operates the device.
    Im having an app get an xml file from the web and process it.
    I'm not sure why you included this info about the downloaded data format, and that's one reason I'm not sure I understand the problem. But I hope the above will help you see what needs to be clarified.

  • Reading XML File from application server

    Hi experts,
    My aim is to read a XML file from application server and extract the relevant data from it and process further.
    When I am trying to read a XML file from application server it is reading success fully but the problem is that its not reading the last root structure of XML file why is so happening can any body help me?
    I am using the following code:
    TYPES: BEGIN OF xml_line,
    text(256) type x,
    END OF xml_line.
    DATA: e_file LIKE rlgrap-filename VALUE  'applcatin server path'

    ENDIF.
    CLOSE DATASET e_file.
    after this i am passing this internal table to "cl_ixml" class to extract the data
    but it returning the itab with required value except the last record.
    The stream reading the file it self is i thought in complete thats why it is not converting the all values.
    Please  help me...
    Thanks a ton in advance.

    Hi,
    1 Copy Report BCCIIXMLT1
    2 (you can change the way of filling internal table xml_table if necessary)
    3 you don't need the part between
    *-- render the DOM back into an output stream/internal table
    and
    *-- print the whole DOM tree as a list...
    Comment it out or simply delete it
    4 Rename form print_node to your liking e.g. process_node
    5 In your new form you need three extra variables:
    data: attribs type ref to IF_IXML_NAMED_NODE_MAP,
          attrib_node type ref to IF_IXML_NODE,
          attrib_value type string.
    6 After the lines:
    when if_ixml_node=>co_node_element.
      string = pNode->get_name( ).
    Insert:
    attribs = pNode->get_attributes( ).
    clear attrib_value.
    case string.
      when ''. "put your XML tag name here
