Hi James,
I have followed upto step No: 12 .
Please could you let me know how to link the XML file on my local drive to BI,
I am not able to find figure out where to specify the path of the XML file to be loaded into BI.
Thanks In Advance

1. Create a Infosource(ZIS), with transfer structure in accordance with the structure in the XML file. (You can open the XML file with MS Excel.This way you can get to know the structure).
2. Activate the transfer rules.
3. After activation ;from the Menu Bar , Select Extras>Create BW Datasource with SOAP connection.
4.Now Activate the Infosurce again, this creates an XML based Datasource(6AXXX...)
5.These steps would create two sub nodes under the Infosource(ZIS).
6.Select Myself system and create a data package and execute it run in Init mode(without Data Transfer).
7. This would create an entry in RSA7(BW delta Queue)
8. Again create another Delta Infopackage under it, and run it. Now the Datasource(6AXXXXXX..) would turn green in RSA7.
9.In Function builder(SE37) select your FM( do a search ,F4, on the datasource 6AXXX....) .
10.Inside this RFC based FM , from the Menu Bar select Utilities>more Utilities>Create Web services>From Function module.
11.A wizard will guide you through the next steps .
12.once this is done a Web serrvice would be enabled in WSADMIN. Select your FM and execute it.
13.From here you can upload the data from XML file into BW delta queue.

Load data in xml file into Pdf form created by LiveCycle Designer

I want to load data in xml file into Pdf form when Pdf opened and Form field will be filled with data from xml file .I try to use $host.importdata("filename.xml"); But i could not find suitable place to run my code. Can anyone give me some advice? thank you.

Hi,
extract your xml and then you can use insert all clause.
here's very small example on 10.2.0.1.0
SQL> create table table1(id number,val varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> create table table2(id number,val varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> insert all
2 into table1 values(id,val)
3 into table2 values(id2,val2)
4 select extractValue(x.col,'/a/id1') id
5        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value') val
6        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value2') val2
7        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/id2') id2
8 from (select xmltype('<a><id1>1</id1><value>a</value><id2>2</id2><value2>b</value2></a>') col from dual) x;
2 rows created.
SQL> select * from table1;
        ID VAL
         1 a
SQL> select * from table2;
        ID VAL
         2 b                                                                    Ants

Loading data from .csv file into existing table

Hi,
I have taken a look at several threads which talk about loading data from .csv file into existing /new table. Also checked out Vikas's application regarding the same. I am trying to explain my requirement with an example.
I have a .csv file and I want the data to be loaded into an existing table. The timesheet table columns are -
timesheet_entry_id,time_worked,timesheet_date,project_key .
The csv columns are :
project,utilization,project_key,timesheet_category,employee,timesheet_date , hours_worked etc.
What I needed to know is that before the csv data is loaded into the timesheet table is there any way of validating the project key ( which is the primary key of the projects table) with the projects table . I need to perform similar validations with other columns like customer_id from customers table. Basically the loading should be done after validating if the data exists in the parent table. Has anyone done this kind of loading through the APEX utility-data load.Or is there another method of accomplishing the same.
Does Vikas's application do what the utility does ( i am assuming that the code being from 2005 the utility was not incorporated in APEX at that time). Any helpful advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anjali

Hi Anjali,
Take a look at these threads which might outline different ways to do it -
File Browse, File Upload
Loading CSV file using external table
Loading a CSV file into a table
you can create hidden items in the page to validate previous records before insert data.
Hope this helps,

How to retrieve data from xml file into obiee reports

Hi all,
I've got a situation here. A xml file is stored as blob in oracle database table. Now i need to retrieve data/info from that xml file into obiee reports. How am i supposed to proceed with this ?

I will go for a table function:
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/database/oracle/table_function
In two words, you can create a function that behave as a table. Then you create a function to pick up your xml, you parse it and you send back the rows.
I know that Oracle has also a library for XML files but I never use it until now.

Loading data from flat file into 0EMPLOYEE

Dear,
I want to see the <b>'monthly change of numbers of employees'</b> of my company in a BW report.
i want to do this by loading data from a dummy flat file into 0EMPLOYEE and afterwards into cube 0PAPA_C02.
i've searched the whole 'help and service sap' websites but nowhere, i could find a usefull user guide.
Could you explain me how this job needs to be done, are there certain steps that need to be taken?
here are a few of my questions:
1: what fields and data do i have to fill in my flat file?
2: how does the time-dependency of master data of employee work?
3: why do you only have to map 0calday and 0employee from infosource 0HR_PA_PA_1 to the corresponding fields of cube 0PAPA_C02?
4: how is the key figure 0HDCNT_VC filled automathically?
(the activation of cube 0PAPA_C02 and its flow is already done.)
or maybe you know a user guide which explains the whole picture and could you send me its link?
thanks a lot in advance,
Julie de Meyer

Hi,
Employee is master data : You need to extarct data every month.Once the extraction is done , you need rto activate to see the results. Otherwise it will display old result.
You can extract data for 0HR_PA_0 and 0HR_PA_1 cubes also. After that you can do the reporting based on this.
You can try some sap standard BI reports .
Headcount is calculated based on employement percentage which is maintained in infotype 0007 (Planned Working Time). If it is 100 then it is considerd as headcount 1.
you can check .

Embedding data from xml file into metadata of a pdf

Hi All
I'm wanting to do the following, but struggling to figure the right way to go about it.
I want to embedded data from my MIS into a pdf's metadata (as scrnshot). I can create a standalone xml file with all the data I require, but I'm unsure how to automate that being embedded into a pdf's advanced metadata. I know this can be done, as it worked at a previous employer, but I didn't get chance to find out how they did it.
I'm wanting to do this so I can carry out a more advanced search of the metadata in Bridge.
Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi Northern,
    I have modified the modifyingXMP sample for you. After this change, put your xmp file as sample.xml and also put pdf file in the same folder where ModifyXMP executable is. After merging my changes, ModifyXMP file will read the sample.xml and will embed it into pdf file.
   Please follow the following steps
1. Download XMPToolkit SDK and follow the steps to compile Sample
2. Open ModifyingXMP file, replace all the content of that file with the below content
3. Compile the ModifyingXMP file.
4. The ModifyXMP.exe will be generated in folder (samples\target\windows\Debug), if you have changed the output folder it will be generated there.
5. In parallel to ModifyingXMP.exe put the sample.xml (the xml file you have) and also the pdf file (say pdf file name is mypdf.pdf)
6. Go to console and change directory to the directory where ModifyingXMP is and pass the following command
ModifyingXMP mypdf.pdf
7. Open the pdf file and check that value/properties
For your reference, I am putting the content of the sample.xml file too, put this content in sample.xmp and any pdf and you will find subject field is getting added.
************** content of the sample.xml file. Create a file name sample.xml and put that content. Put sample.xml in parallel to ModifyingXMP.exe*******

Import data from XML file into ICM script

Hello,
Is it possible to read data from an XML file into an ICM Admin script? If yes, using which node?
Thanks,
Justine.

Hi,
as far as i know not directy. Only Method i could think of right now is via CVP Application (Java Class, Custom Node) or IVR Script.
To import data you only have the Database Node which does only allow sources form the Database Lookup Explorer ir passing data along to/from external scripts.

Help needed badly Insert text data from xml files into tables

Hi all, I have asked to do insertion of text from a xml file into tables upon receiving using pro*c. i've done quite an amount of research on xml parser in c but there wasn't much information for mi to use for implementation...
Guys don't mind helping me to clarify few doubts of mine...
1. Where can i get the oracle xml parser libs? Is it included when i installed oracle 8i?
2. Is there any tutorials or help files for xml parser libs where i can read up?
I need the xml parser to recognise the tags, followed by recognising the text after the tags.
eg. xml format
<studentID> 0012 </studentID>
<student> john </student>
<studentID> 0013 </studentID>
<student> mary </student>
text willl be inserted into tables like this:
studentID | student
0012 | john
0013 | mary
by the way i'm using oracle 8i on HP-UX. Thanks in advance.

I can answer one of of your questions at least
1. Where can i get the oracle xml parser libs? Is it included when i installed oracle 8i?You need the XML XDK. You can use http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/xml/xdkhome.html as your starting point. I believe the 9i version works for 8i.
I have no pro*c experience so I can't offer any other suggestions regarding how to do this in pro*c.

Loading data from xml file - please help

Hi, I am new to attempting to get data from an xml file load
in flash. I followed a tutorial in a new fla and it seemed to work
fine, I then tried to adapt it to my own needs which worked fine.
But then when trying to implement this into my news section it
doesn't seem to work.
I am trying to make a news section, that displays the date
and news article. This is in within a movie clip, I even tried
putting it in the timeline of the scene but still nothing.
- I have 2 dynamic text boxes, date_txt and news_txt
- The xml file is named news.xml,
- both the fla and the xml are in the same folder
This is the actionscript I am using:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.thedate =
this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.thenews =
this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
date_txt.text = _root.thedate;
news_txt.text = _root.thenews;
} else {
trace("file not loaded!");
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("news.xml");
This is what I have in the xml document:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<news>
<article>
<date>date</date>
<news>newentry.</news>
</article>
<article>
<date>Doug Engelbart</date>
<news>Invented the mouse at the Stanford Research
Institute</news>
</article>
</news>
Does anyone perhaps have any ideas of what the problem could
be?
Help much appreciated.

Hi
_root refers to the Main Timeline, if your date_txt and
news_txt are in a movieclip ie: news_mc
then your path should read _root.news_mc.date_txt.text and
_root.news_mc.news_txt.text
You will also need to embed the characters you wish to use
inside your dymanic text for it to show.
Hope it helps
