Index Nth Element in XML DataSource

Hi, I'm a little new to the Crystal Reports formula syntax & I wanted to reference a specific Nth element in an XML Data source.
Here's a portion of my XML:
<summary>
<group>
<attrName>creditType</attrName>
</group>
<group>
<attrName>appStatus</attrName>
</group>
</summary>
Basically, I want to show/hide columns based on the contents of <attrName> (ie. in this case, creditType should be 1st column & appStatus should be 2nd column).
In the 1st column I placed the heading creditType & appStatus and I suppressed it based on the formulas: {summary/group.attrName} = "creditType" & {summary/group.attrName} = "appStatus"
However, for the 2nd column, I don't know how to explicitly referenced the 2nd instance of /summary/group/attrName to write the suppress formula. The formula above always references the 1st instance that matches the XPath.
If anyone has any clue let me know, or maybe I need a different approach to show/hide columns based on the structure/value of an XML file.

Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

SSRS Designer - XML Datasource - Parameter passing XML gets encoded, causes error on WS Request

Hello,
I am attempting to query a List from SharePoint using the XML Datasource. I am forced to use this datasource as our infrastructure team will not be upgrading our SSRS 2008 farm to SSRS 2008 R2 anytime soon. 2008 R2 has Native SharePoint
List Datasources ( which works great FYI ). I already completed the report using the Native SP List DS, only to find out that my timing was not so great as 2008 R2 was not in production yet... /sigh, communication... anyways...
I have successfully queried the List using the XML Datasource. It is only when I try to use the CAML query in the query parameter that it fails. So, here is my Query:
<Query>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems">
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="listName">
<DefaultValue>{DD3DE881-1F9D-4016-AD73-F7E1D9340880}</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
<Parameter Name="query">
<DefaultValue>
<Query>
<Where>
<Gt>
<FieldRef Name="Modified" />
<Value Type="DateTime">2011-03-01</Value>
</Gt>
</Where>
</Query>
</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
</Method>
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="True">*</ElementPath>
</Query>
I will be replacing that hard date with something like =DateAdd("d",-7,Now()) later, but focusing on the task at hand...
Here is the error ( trimmed so you don't need to read the whole stack ):
<soap:Body>
<soap:Fault>
<faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode>
<faultstring>Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown.</faultstring>
<detail>
<errorstring xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">Element <Query> of parameter query is missing or invalid.</errorstring>
<errorcode xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">0x82000000</errorcode>
</detail>
</soap:Fault>
</soap:Body>
The key to that error is: Element <Query> of parameter query is missing or invalid.
So I see that it is being encoded, so I decided to capture the actual Webservice request with Fiddler:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<GetListItems xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">
<query>
<Query>
<Where>
<Gt>
<FieldRef Name="Modified" />
<Value Type="DateTime">2011-03-01</Value>
</Gt>
</Where>
</Query>
</query>
<listName>{DD3DE881-1F9D-4016-AD73-F7E1D9340880}</listName>
</GetListItems>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
So now that we know that somehow the XML parameter of "query" is being encoded. How do I tell the SSRS designer that for this XML datasource's dataset query, I do not wish to encode that parameter? I have searched all day today and came up with
very little. I found a few posts with a simliar question, but no solution was ever mentioned.
The closest to a likely solution was this Post :
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlreportingservices/thread/8a9ba2fc-26cd-423e-bbbf-a16b5c9722f5/
in particular this phrase interested me:
"Query parameters of type Msxml2.DOMDocument30 are passed as XML. Parameters of type String which happen to contain XML are passed as strings and are XML encoded in the SOAP message. The function CXml(String) converts a string
into an Msxml2.DOMDocument30 and can be used in query parameter expressions."
Similar to the poster of that question, I also cannot find a way to define the parameter as an XML type or the use of this mysterious CXML() function in the expression builder...
I'm looking for a Microsoft resource to tell me whats going on here, but if anyone else has a workaround or an idea, I would be happy to try it out.

Hi Ryan,
Thanks for your question, from your statement, it seems that you want to give a default value for the parameter named query, right? If so I would recommend you achieve this requirement in report level, please follow these:
1. Create a parameter named Date, select Date/Time as data type.
2. Move to Default values tab, then click Add button ->type in =DateAdd("d",-7,Now()) as defult value's expression.
3. Right-cilck the dataset, and then select DataSet properties.
4. Move to Filters tab, click add button to add a filter.
5. In the drop-down list of Expression, select Modified datefield with Date/Time datatype.
6. Type in =Parameters!Date.Value in value's textbox.

One datagrid, numerous (xml) datasources

i have a prospective application with the following setup:
one datagrid, with numerous buttons elsewhere in the
application
desired procedure:
upon clicking one of the buttons -
the datagrid is unloaded of any datasource previously loaded
(is this necessary?);
the datagrid is populated with a specific, different xml
datasource (xml file) assigned to a specific button(while showing
busyCursor, and upon completion of data load, normal cursor is
returned).
any help would be appreciated.

Hi every body
Can anybody help me?
How can I add values on a Drop Down by Index Webdynpro Element?
How can I invoque my element on the Implementation Webdynpro?

Hi Jesus,
You can add elements to your DDbyIndex like this:
//Example: Popular un Dropdown by Index usando Nodos de contexto
// NODE[Card: 1..n, Sele:1..1] Si es obligatorio; || NODE[Card: 0..n, Sele:0..1] Si no es obligatorio y se puede dejar en blanco
//Assuming we created a node called "Source", with a string attribute called "Texto" binded to the dropdownbyindex
for (int i = 1; i <= 101; i++)
 ISourceElement sourceElement = wdContext.createSourceElement();
 sourceElement.setTexto("Text number "+i);
 wdContext.nodeSource().addElement(sourceElement);
Regards.

Hi Nicole,
First of all I am afraid that I am not an expert in this area. My impression is that the HTTP destination type is created on the receiver side (i.e. BW). If that is the case, then I think t/code SM59 is the right place where you can also create other connection types than ABAP (please refer to paragraph 4.1 of the document which was mentioned in the other discussion).
However, I suggest to involve a basis/system administrator and if possible also an XI consultant to come to a solution. My gut feeling says that it's a connection problem which has to be solved in either the BW system, XI system or in both systems.
Best regards,
Sander

Schema Validation on attributes of an element in XML againt XSD schema

Hi,
I had generated artifact java classes from XSD schema file.Now i am validatiing one sample XML document by using these classes in JAXB.The XML document is validated successfully.but only elements are validated ,but not attributes of that elements.for example ,i am giving wrong element which is not defined inside the schema file,it throws validation error as expected ,whereas validation against wrong attributes of elements in XML it is not working anyway,it does not throw any validation errors,but it should throw validation errors.kindly help me to solve this issue.
Here The sample validation code snippets :
import javax.xml.bind.ValidationEvent;
import javax.xml.bind.ValidationEventHandler;
import javax.xml.bind.ValidationEventLocator;
public class MyEventHandler implements ValidationEventHandler{
 public boolean handleEvent(ValidationEvent ve) {
 if (ve.getSeverity()==ValidationEvent.FATAL_ERROR ||
 ve .getSeverity()==ValidationEvent.ERROR){
 ValidationEventLocator locator = ve.getLocator();
 //Print message from valdation event
 System.out.println("Invalid booking document: "
 + locator.getURL());
 System.out.println("Error: " + ve.getMessage());
 //Output line and column number
 System.out.println("Error at column " +
 locator.getColumnNumber() +
 ", line "
 + locator.getLineNumber());
 return true;
Unmarshaller unmarshaller = jc.createUnmarshaller();
unmarshaller.setEventHandler(new MyEventHandler());

Here is my analagous 'strange' behavior. I am jaxb processing and then marshalling generated classes to XML ( following the simple Sun 'PurchaseOrder' example )
1. This works:
<xsd:schema....>
<xsd:complextType name = "myName">
<xsd:attribute name='name1'>
</xsd:complextType>
</xsd:schema>
2. This doesn't:
<xsd:schema....>
<xsd:complextType name = "myName">
<xsd:attribute name='name1'/>
<xsd:attribute name='name2'/>
</xsd:complextType>
</xsd:schema>
That is, using more than one attribute line within this simple complex type causes nothing to be marshalled to XML.
Ideas?

How to filter XML Datasource bound to Dropdown list?

Dear All,
I quiet new to LiveCycle designer ES from past couple of weeks I am working on this.
Right Now I have issue with filering XML Datasource bound with dropdown list.
I have XML file which has the data to the States and City. I have bound one of my dropdown list to State. My requirement is once I select the 'State' the corresponding City Names has to be listed in the second dropdown list.
I searched in the net and got couple of samples on that. But I failed to make my form work as requirement. Even though I have generated the XML file as given structure in the examples.
Please check the attached xml file which I have created.
I have struckup right now. So, help me this.
Very much thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sree Harshavardhana.

Dear BR,
Thanks for the quick reply and most useful example. I'll try to apply the same in to my form and look in to it.
But, I would like to know is what was the corrections you have made in the javascript. I am not wrong the code which you have written in the example pdf the same I had written, but it did not work for me! Please check the code below which I had written.
StatesAndCities.#subform[0].StateName::change - (JavaScript, client)
var stateDataNode = xfa.resolveNode("StatesAndCities.States.(StateID.value == " + this.boundItem(xfa.event.change) + ")");
CityName.clearItems();
for (var i=0; i<stateDataNode.City.all.length; i++)
xfa.host.messageBox(stateDataNode.Cities.all.item(i).Code.value);
CityName.addItem(staffDataNode.City.all.item(i).Code.value);
I'll look forward by highlighting my mistakes, so that I can go by my own.

XML Datasource

Hello:
I am trying to change a datasource at runtime using java. The datasource is an XML file located on the local machine. The original and new XML datasource are the same format from a tag perspective.
I convert the XML file and pass it to the setDatasource() method of the dbcontroller.
The following exception is then thrown:
Exception caught: com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKLogonException: Logon failed.
Error in File C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\TRW_Test {6BA2425C-D38F-43BA-B394-0382CA1AF83F}.rpt:
Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters.---- Error code:-2147217393 Error code name:dbLogonFailed
It appears the RAS is trying to logon to this temporary report or datasource. I'm not sure.
What do I need to do to get around this?
I'm assuming I need to logon into something.
Many thanks

Hi Praveen,
           I found this following procedure in the sap library. They r also said that 'Choose Delta Process Initialization mode on the Update tab page and select Initialization without Data Transfer'
          Thatz why I asked..I am confused now...please help.
Procedure
To activate data transfer to the delta queue, create an InfoPackage for your XML DataSource in order to initialize without a data request.
       1.      In the Modeling InfoSource tree of the Administrator Workbench , choose InfoSources ®Your Application Component ® Your InfoSource for Requesting XML Data ® myself BW System ® Create InfoPackage
       2.      Enter a description for your InfoPackage in the following dialog box. Select the XML DataSource and confirm your entries.
       3.      Edit the tab pages for the InfoPackage. Choose Delta Process Initialization mode on the Update tab page and select Initialization without Data Transfer.
       4.      Schedule the InfoPackage.

XML Datasource Supported?

I was wondering if Crystal Reports for Eclipse supports an XML Datasource? If so how do you use it?

This is really a yes and no answer (much like the Stored Procedures and JDBC-ODBC questions I have been getting on the forum). Our full blown Crystal Reports Designer does support connecting to and designing reports off of XML and Web Service data sources. Our Java engine also supports reporting off of these data sources, which means you will have no problem editing or previewing an existing report that has the XML data source already added. The problem with CR4E specifically lies around the connection wizards we supply with the product. We did not want to "re-invent the wheel" when it came to defining how users will connect to data sources. Instead we used the existing Eclipse view which Developers are already using to handle their data source needs. Unfortunately, the Database Explorer does not currently provide all of the data source options our designer supports so we are forced to have a parity gap between what the engine can support at runtime and what the user is able to design against. Potentially, the possibility exists for a user to write their own data source connection wizard and create a drop-handler for the CR4E designer which may eliminate some of these issues. However, I have to look into this option a little more. I think there may be a way to write a simple class to add the XML file at runtime. Once the file has been added the report could be saved and opened in the editor. The key point that is missing today is that there is no UI available in CR4E to connect to XML. Once the XML data source gets in the report we should have no problem editing it. Anyway, let me look into this and get back to you on some possible work-arounds. Regards, Sean Johnson (CR4E Product Manager)
