Invalid xml decl while creating template for a report created in BIP

Hi
I am in the process developing a report - extracting data from an xmltype column. I defined my query - as simple as (for now):
select xmlcol.getclobval() from table1
The way information is stored in each xmltype column is with the xml declaration - something like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rootelem>
<a>adjaghd</a>
<b>adjaghd</b>
<c>adjaghd</c>
</rootelem>
So when I get the output, I have the declaration (...xml version...)for each row returned. I am assuming that being the reason when I try to create the template in work for this report, it given me Invalid XML Decl. How can I extract from xmltype column without getting the header information for each row?

Anyone can answer this question please?

This error occurs when you try to create a materialized view , but if you run the sql the results are perfectly fine. Well it happend to me also and to fix this I made sure all the coulmns have the same data type which are used in joins or in where clause.
use
where
to_number(col1)=to_number(col2) and to_number(col3)=to_number(col4)
hope this helps..

I feel this xml output is not like the regular xml output. Do you know why it is diffrent from the regular xml xml output? Please comment on this matter.
Thanks,
Scott Chang
What do you mean by regular xml document? Are you referring to fact that its missing a root element? if yes it can be added as below
USE AdventureWorks;
GO
SELECT
p.NameStyle AS "processing-instruction(nameStyle)",
p.BusinessEntityID AS "Person/@ID",
p.ModifiedDate AS "comment()",
pp.PhoneNumber AS "text()",
FirstName AS "Person/Name/First",
MiddleName AS "Person/Name/Middle",
LastName AS "Person/Name/Last",
EmailAddress AS "Person/Email"
FROM Person.Person p
INNER JOIN Person.EmailAddress e
ON p.BusinessEntityID = e.BusinessEntityID
INNER JOIN Person.PersonPhone pp
ON p.BusinessEntityID = pp.BusinessEntityID
FOR XML PATH('ElementName'),ROOT('RootName');
replace ElementName and RootName with whatever name you need to set for element as well as the root element

User Interface Template for Interactive Report Region

In 3.2, where do we set the user interface template for Interactive Reports region?
No matter what out of the box theme I switch to, the Interactive Reports region shows the same. What and where do I change the template so that alternating rows use two different colors?

There is no template for Interactive Reports like for a "normal" report. You need to modify the CSS and supply your own for this to happen.
I believe most things are tagged with #apexir - firebug with Firebox is invaluable. This thread may help:

I'm sorry, but Pages won't correctly open the Avery templates with the .doc extension. They open, but all the formatting is lost. Just a blank page.
I tried to chane extension to .template, as suggested by the Pages -Help window. That didn't work either.

Handle invalid xml character while serializing

I have requirement where I need to serialize a document which contains a string like "ﾝￊￒ%ﾝￋ &". While serializing it throws the following exception
java.io.IOException: The character ' ' is an invalid XML character
Is there a way we can serialize this String as is with any workaround.
StringWriter stringOut = new StringWriter();
DocumentBuilderFactory docFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = docBuilder.newDocument();
Element rootElement = doc.createElement("company");
doc.appendChild(rootElement);
String xml = "ﾝￊￒ%ﾝￋ &";
//String xml = "ﾝￊￒ%ﾝￋ &";
Element junk = doc.createElement("replyToQ");
junk.appendChild(doc.createCDATASection(xml));
//junk.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(stripNonValidXMLCharacters(xml)));
rootElement.appendChild(junk);
//org.w3c.dom.Document doc = this.toDOM();
//Serialize DOM
OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(doc,"UTF-8",true);
format.setIndenting(false);
format.setLineSeparator("");
format.setPreserveSpace(true);
format.setOmitXMLDeclaration(false);
XMLSerializer serial = new XMLSerializer( stringOut, format );
// As a DOM Serializer
serial.asDOMSerializer();
serial.serialize( doc.getDocumentElement() );

As a guess because you are treating CDATA as meaning the same as 'binary' which it isn't. The characters in CDATA still must be valid XML characters.
If you want binary data then base64 encode it and put that in the document - and you won't need CDATA at all then, it will just be regular element text.

Getting invalid xml character while marshalling

Hi
I have a text which contains all characters including some special chars.I am replacing the html codes for &,>,<,\," characters. I am building the xml file and trying to marshall it. But i am getting "The character '' is an invalid XML character". I am using castor-0.9.6.jar. Can any one tell me how can i handle special chars like � is easy way rather than repacing each and every character.
Please let me know why i am getting the above error (is the special char end of file char. actually i am reating from string not from file).
Thanks & Regards,
Prasanth

BO xi 3.1 u2013 schedule a template for multiple reports with different column

Hi,
I need to migrate the existing reports from SQL Server Reporting Services to BO, and the column order in the report is very important to the clients since clients have existing code to ingest these reports into their database. Now I want to schedule a single template with different parameters for all reports in BO, or create a single template with lot of parameters for all reports. My question is how I might use one template to create multiple reports with different column orders in the reports?
For example, client A has the following column order in their report: firstName, LastName, DateBirth, SSN. Client B has the following column order in their report: SSN, DateBirth, LastName, FirstName. Can I use one template to create these multiple reports?
Thanks!

Hi,
The only approach I can think of is to create a template report which uses variables
For each column you would need to variable
v_columnAName and v_columnAValue
v_columnAName would have a if statement in it
=if([client]="clientA" or [client]="clientC";NameOf([firstName]);if([client]="clientB";NameOf([SSN]);NameOf([lastName]));
v_columnA would have a if statement in it
=if([client]="clientA" or [client]="clientC";[firstName];if([client]="clientB";[SSN],[lastName]));
This would only work when you had a small set of clients.
This might be more managable if it was done in the universe

Design a single template for multiple reports with different column order

Hi,
I need to migrate the existing reports from SQL Server Reporting Services to Crystal Report 2008, and the column order in the report is very important to the clients since clients have existing code to ingest these reports into their database. Now I want to create a single template with lot of parameters for all reports. My question is how I might use one template to create multiple reports with different column orders in the reports?
For example, client A has the following column order in their report: firstName, LastName, DateBirth, SSN. Client B has the following column order in their report: SSN, DateBirth, LastName, FirstName. Can I use one template to create these multiple reports?
Thanks in advance.

-As I mentioned you can find Template Field object in Insert menu of crystal report Designer 2008.
As soon as you select Template Field object you will be able to see a box beside ur mouse cursor. Drag and drop this box at required place. Now when you place this object in report you will get some thing like this "<TemplateField1>" listed under Formula Fields tree. Double click "<TemplateField1>" formula to add your conditions.
-I have not tested it for large amount of Customers. However as the number of customer increases the number of conditions will get increased.
For the customer that want the same ordering of columns you can put those customers under one condition.
    for Example...
          if(?Client in ['clientA','clientA']) then
                    <TableName>.<Field>......
-What do you mean be 40 columns? Do you mean 40 fields or you want to show 40 columns in report? Please elaborate.
Regards,
Amrita

Invalid Extract Structure while creating a datasource

Hello,
I'm creating a datasource from a view. whenever i try to save it, it gives me an error saying that it is an invalid extract structure and that one of my fields is referenced to another table. After the threads on SDN, I think I need to remove this field from the view, activate my datasource, append my extract structure by adding the problem field and write an user exit to populate the field.
I don't have any experience in writing an user exit. I would appreciate if anyone would guide in it. Here are the details of my view:
View with 4 tables: EKBE, EKKO, EKPO AND EKKN
so that i'll get the line items of the purchase orders with the fields that i need. I didn't see any business content datasource for this.
problem field: DMBTR in EKBE table
this is referenced to T001.
How do i add this field in the extract structure and how do I write an user exit for this?
Regards,
Sam

Hi,
I am new to this foroum and BW module....
I too am facing the same problem.
I am creating a view from 2 tables VBAK and VBAP .
I was having problem with currency fields NETWR, WAERK, NETPR. So i removed the currency fields. Still i am having same error of not being able to create my data source from the view i have made. It gives the error....
Invalid extract structure template Z76_VEW_VBAK_VBP of DataSource Z76_DS_VIEW_VBAK_VBAP
Message no. R8359
Diagnosis
You tried to generate an extract structure with the template structure Z76_VEW_VBAK_VBP. This operation failed, because the template structure quantity fields or currency fields, for example, field NETPR refer to a different table.
Procedure
Use the template structure to create a view or DDIC structure that does not contain the inadmissable fields.
Can anyone help me out please.

It's possible?

With a new account, you'll need to rebuy the games.
Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want. But if all have been sharing the same itunes ID, keep it that way, you can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud. Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
