LDAP on windows using XML

When I start my Essbase Server I do get the following message"External Authentication Module: [Single Sign-On] enabled"but I get the following error message when I try to add a userSingle Sign On Function call [css_getUser] Failed With Error [Failed to create an initial directory context]

Does your LDAP server use SSL protocol? If so you will have to import Certificate into your Essbase server's cacerts keystore file.<BR>Turn on debug in your xml file and check your error log.

Error while trying to update the XML template using XML Publisher Administrator

Hello Folks,
We are on R12.1.3
I changed a condition in a report and trying to upload the new XML template using XML Publisher Administrator.
when i click the Apply button, it is throwing an error 'Bad Request'
Navigation : XML Publisher Administrator > Data Definitions > query the report
Click on the name of the report > click 'Update file' besides Data Template > Choose file > Click Apply
I am getting the below error
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Now, i could not upload a new XML template.
Am I doing anything wrong.

Kris

Thank you Eugen and Hussein.
The problem is not with the template.
It seems to be a problem in that particular instance.
Uploaded it in a different instance.
However once i run the program, i cannot view the output as the browser window flashes and disappears.
My colleague says , it is to do with the trusted site to download something from the browser.
Can you please guide me on how to fix this ?

Excel Output for Standard Reports using XML Publisher

Hi All,
Customer wants to get Excel Output for the existing Standard/Custom Reports using XML Publisher. I followed the following procedure.
1. Changed the output to XML for Concurrent program ( Trial Balance - Detail )
2. Used the Existing seeded Template
3. Ran the Report using EXCEL as the output.
When I clicked on View Output, I am not able to see the Excel output. I am seeing the HTML tags in the output window. Verified that Viewer Options existed for Excel as follows:
File Format=Excel, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel.
When I ran the report with PDF output. I can see the PDF output.
Ran the HTML output with new Viewer Option ( File Format=HTML, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel) then I can see the output in Browser in the Excel format. I did this test after going through the Metalink Note: Note:316752.1
My question is.. Do I need always choose the HTML ouput in the options window to trigger the Viewer option for HTML. Customer may not like this idea. He would like to choose the Excel Output and see the output in Excel format either in the Browser or Microsoft Excel.
Can someone in this situation before help me out.
Thanks,
V

Questions rephrase:
1. Is the output is same for HTML and Excel options ?
2. Why the output is viewable with HTML option and not with Excel option ?
Customer has XML Publisher Version 5.0.1 and in the process of applying 5.6.1
Thanks,
V

Crystal reports using xml at run time??

Post Author: avnkkishore
CA Forum: General
Hi,
I have very simple requirement.
I would like to create a crystal
report using XML. This
XML file will be decided at run time
(not at design time).
Hence i have added a crystal report viewer control to my windows form and did
not choose any data source (i left it blank currently). Now i am trying to load
XML file with the following simple code.
            PropertyBag
crLogOnDetails = new PropertyBag();
crLogOnDetails["Local XML File"] = @"C:\Hosts.xml";
crLogOnDetails["Local Schema File"] = @"C:\Hosts.xsd";
ConnectionInfo conn = new ConnectionInfo();
conn.Attributes = crLogOnDetails;
            // create
"Host" table
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table tbl;
            tbl = new
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table();
            tbl.Name =
"Host";
tbl.ConnectionInfo = conn;
rcDoc.DatabaseController.AddTable(tbl, null);
I am getting exception exactly at the above line (i.e. when adding table to
Database Controller) saying "COMException was unhandled" with error code
0x80004005 Unspecified error.
Can any one please help me regarding how to resolve this.
Thanks in advance,

I am using VB6 as the front end and Microsoft Access to hold the data and Crystal Reports 8.5. I have a staff name parameter that I want the user to select which staff name to print the report. If there is
a new staff the name is not in the list of parameters.  How do I add to the parameter list at run time from the staff table?

Using XML DB with Oracle Drive as Webdav client

Hi all -
I'm looking into using XML DB (10g) to store files so we can query their content via SQL/XPATH and then access/edit them via Webdav.
Windows Vista makes this easy, since it can map a drive to a Webdav URL. Mac OSX can do a similar thing.
Windows XP however can't do the drive mapping for WebDav on a port other than port 80, which is our setup.
So I tried out Oracle Drive, which I stumbled across on some site somewhere, and it worked. But it was an old version, so I downloaded the "official" version from Oracle, which is v10.2.0.0.22. This version refuses to connect to XML DB no matter what I do. I've fiddled with authentication, proxies, and so on (there are several posts elsewhere with hints on this) but so far no joy.
Has anyone had any experience making the latest version of Oracle Drive talk to XML DB?
Many Thanks

Thanks for replying.
Yes, we may decide to move XML DB to port 80, but there are other services running on our server and such a move would be a significant hassle.
As for Windows XP, it is not possible to do this: net use * http://server:8080/public
This works on Vista, but it only works on XP if you use port 80.
Note that XP has TWO built in Webdav clients: Web Folders (= Network Places) which is a feature in Explorer, and the Webdav Mini-Director which works at the file-system level. I don't think Web Folders can work for us since we need to be able to create a real filepath to give to our editor application. Maybe I'm wrong on that, but I can't figure it out.
Oracle Drive seems to be a great solution, but I can't make the most recent version work (the old version worked but was buggy).

How to trace changes in directories and files in windows using java.

Hi,

DATA exchange using XML using ABAP

Client is having requirement of sharing data with Third party using XML files and this needs to be done using ABAP and changes in XML structure are highly likely in the future and structure is very complex around 100 fields corresponding to an account , three ways are there as far i am aware of :-IXML library,Simple transformation and XSLT ,
confusion is which way to follow as Performance constraints are also there and Simple transformation had failed in the past with large amount of data,
I would like to know what is Industry wide accepted way of doing this in SAP ( XI is out of scope here ) using ABAP and which one will be the best regarding quality of design and performance

Is that best practice?
Thanks and regards,

Hi,
I am trying to implement and run the sample application given under {Forte_Root}/install/examples/xmlsvr.
I have done all the required steps, but I am getting this error given below.
I am using soap-2_3 for SOAP and xerces-2_2_1 for XML parser, my server (Forte UDS)is on windows NT.
Please Note:- While connecting to the External web sites from my office, I need to connect through the firewalls and I need to give the user name and password to access the external web sites.
so my question is,
1. while connection to the server (Forte UDS SO) does it make connection to external website such as
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsd1="http://localhost/bankservices.xsd"
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"
xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/">
and since i have to connect through the firefall and use the passwords, Am I not able to make connection?
2. Does any body of you had similar problem and how you are able to resolve this.
3. If I need to give user name and password, while making connection to external website, can you please tell, where I need to specify that. (Will it be in WSDL file etc)?
Your help is appreciated
Thank You,
Srikanth

Problems using XML URL data service on Jdev

Not sure if this is the right forum for this but couldn't find specific forum on XML.
I"m using Jdev Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.4.0 (Win 2008 Server). I'm followng the tutorial (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/ccset10-all-091120.html) which treaches how to create a URL service to read RSS feeds.
My real question is about any guidance in creating proper XML schemas. I've read the documentation from wr.org but I"m still not sure about any key rules to follow for creating XML schemas and if XML schemas are a muust for using XML DB to read content from the internet.

Hi Jay,
Most of XML parsers mainly support UTF-8 encoding by default. So if the source is Windows 1252 encoded, the parser might fail.
There are two potential solutions (including but not limited to):
1) Use encoding tools/functions to translate the source with UTF-8 encoded.
2) Change ADF configurations to see if ADF can deal with Windows 1252 encoded source. Also people in ADF forum may have suggestions from their point of view.

Problem while using XML with Oracle

I have a problem using XML with oracle applications
The process I am following
1. Making a XML string.
2. Parsing it to get a document
3. Free the parser using xmlparser.freeparser
4. Traversing through nodes .
5. Freeing the document.
The whole Process is executed in batch mode.
The problem occurs after executing the procedure for 5000 records and I get the error
ORA-04031: unable to allocate 4176 bytes of shared memory ("shared pool","unknown object","sga
heap","library cache")
Can you please help me out to overcome this problem
It's urgent
I have
Oracle version 8.1.7.0.0
XML version 1.2
OS Windows NT
To resolve the problem I have increase shared memory size and java initialization parameters ,which seems OK
Looking forward for your answer.

Hello, Reena
Your process flow seems to be correct in term of getting/freeing memory.
Following error
The problem occurs after executing the procedure for 5000 records and I get the error
ORA-04031: unable to allocate 4176 bytes of shared memory ("shared pool","unknown object","sga
heap","library cache")may be caused by memory leaks in xdk or memory fragmentation(due to get/free memory cycle)
To find out if this is an memory leak issue you could try to monitor V$SGASTAT from one session while running your batch process in another session.
To prevent (or lower its impact) fragmentation issues try to PIN objects, and adjust java_pool_size and shared_pool_reserved_size.
Anyway, counsult your Oracle DBA.
Oracle version 8.1.7.0.0I think, you should apply database patch first of all. The latest one (8.1.7.4.x) could be accured from Metalink.

How Do You Use XML To Create Image Upload On A WebSite?

Hello,
Could some one please help me understand how to create web image gallery and web video gallery using XML? I have found few xml codes that could be used to do this but I am not so sure how to use them. I want my clients to be able upload images and videos with linking thumbnails to Image and or Videos. Do you think the codes I included in this question will help me achive this goal? And do I need to put all in one and in the same directory so it will work? Please help with your idea and tell me how you would use these codes and how you may step-by-step implement the idea your self to your own web site.
I have also included the instruction I found on the web with the codes.
Starting with You Tube, API on their video gallery, here are the codes I found,
Assume you are to use the YouTube, XML code; What will you change here so it will work on your own www.domain.com?
<% Dim xml, xhr, ns, YouTubeID, TrimmedID, GetJpeg, GetJpeg2, GetJpeg3, thumbnailUrl, xmlList, nodeList, TrimmedThumbnailUrl Set xml = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument")
xml.async = False
xml.setProperty "ServerHTTPRequest", True
xml.Load("http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/Shuggy23/favorites?orderby=updated") If xml.parseError.errorCode <> 0 Then
    Response.Write xml.parseError.reason End If Set xmlList = xml.getElementsByTagName("entry") Set nodeList = xml.SelectNodes("//media:thumbnail") For Each xmlItem In xmlList
    YouTubeID = xmlItem.getElementsByTagName("id")(0).Text
    TrimmedID = Replace(YouTubeID, "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/", "")
    For Each xmlItem2 In nodeList
        thumbnailUrl = xmlItem2.getAttribute("url")
        Response.Write thumbnailUrl & "<br />"
    Next     Next
%>
For the image gallery, the following are the codes I found with your experience do I need to use the entire codes or just some of them that I should use?
CODE #01Converting Database queries to XML
Using XML as data sources presumes the existence of XML. Often, it is easier to have the server create the XML from a database on the fly. Below are some scripts for common server models that do such a thing.
These are starting points. They will need to be customized for your particular scenario.
All these scripts will export the data from a database table with this structure:
ID: integer, primary key, autoincrement
AlbumName: text(255)
ImagePath: text(255)
ImageDescription: text(2000)
UploadDate: datetime
The output of the manual scripts will look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<images>
     <image>
          <ID>1</ID>
          <album><![CDATA[ Family ]]></album>
          <path><![CDATA[ /family/us.jpg ]]></path>
          <description><![CDATA[ here goes the description ]]></description>
          <date><![CDATA[ 2006-11-20 10:20:00 ]]></date>
     </image>
     <image>
          <ID>2</ID>
          <album><![CDATA[ Work ]]></album>
          <path><![CDATA[ /work/coleagues.jpg ]]></path>
          <description><![CDATA[ here goes the description ]]></description>
          <date><![CDATA[ 2006-11-21 12:34:00 ]]></date>
     </image>
</images>
These are all wrapped in CDATA because it is will work with all data types. They can be removed if you know you don't want them.
Note: If using the column auto-generating versions, ensure that all the column types are text. Some databases have data type options like 'binary', that can't be converted to text. This will cause the script to fail.

OK, I understand - thanks for that.
I thought the whole process was supposed to be a bit more seemless? Having to upload/download documents and manually keep them in sync will leave a lot of room for errors.
It's kinda painful the way iOS doesn't have folders. It makes things incompatible with the Mac and means you can't group files from multiple apps into a single project - who organises their digital life by the apps they use?
I think I'll recommend they use their iPad only.
Thanks for that.

How to create a report using XML data source from Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
Iu2019m having Crystal Report Designer XI R2 SP4. Iu2019m trying to create a report using XML data source stored on disk. This is a customer order report and the xml is structured in such a way that it has an order details header part (master) and then it has several order lines (detail). One order line can have several order line characteristics (detail-detail). So what I need to know is now I can design this layout from the designer. If this was done using views I can do it with sub-reports but using xml data this seems to be different. Can you help me to design this layout? I have included the xml and xsd as well.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Chanaka

Hi Sourashree,
Thank you for the response and ideas you have given me so far. I can get the fetch the data from the data source without any problem. That is I do the following,
1.     New Report
2.     From Create New Connection-> XML
3.     Provide the u201CLocal XML Fileu201D and have u201CSpecify Schema Fileu201D checked -> Next
4.     Provide the u201CLocal Schema Fileu201D -> Finish
Then I can see the following under XML
+ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
        CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
And from here if I add the following three I can get all the fields I need to the report
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
Then I come to the Linking section. Here I canu2019t link anything. There is a common field called u201CInternal_IDu201D but I canu2019t link using it. So I get a message when I click Next. From here I add all the fields.
For this point onwards only I need help. How do I group, add fields and design the layout so I can get an report output as follows.

Characteristic details belonging to Order line 5
How can I achieve this kind of a layout using the give xml and xsd? Should I use grouping if so how should I do the grouping?
I have included the full xml and xsd in the first mail I posted but I canu2019t see it now. I can include that again if you want.
