Loading XML data in Utilities

I need to load some XML data into a staging table.
I am using this navigation path...
Home>Utilities>Data Load/Unload>Load>Load XML Data
The staging table is setup with the columns in the XML file.
I am receiving this error when I attempt to load the XML file:
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing LPX-00222: error received from SAX callback function
I'm not sure that I have the correct columns in the table to match the XML file.
Is there any documentation describing what columns should be in the table I am loading the XML data into?
Many Thanks,
Reid

There are detail steps here: Sending XML file data into BW
Otherwise please specify where you faced problems.

How to use Load XML Data (Home Utilities Data Load/Unload Load)

How is Load XML Data (Home>Utilities>Data Load/Unload>Load) supposed to work? Where is this documented?
What table type/structure is required?
How does this related to XDB functionality?

It's not really documented that well in the XE redux documents (or even the base Apex Documents)- see http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/appdev.102/b25309/sql_utl.htm#sthref2530
However, it's reasonably easy to use - you can export a table to XML format, and then reload the table with the data by importing the XML document. It has nothing to do with XDB, it's just a different flat file representation for unloaded data than CSV

Best method to load XML data into Oracle

Hi,
I have to load XML data into Oracle tables. I tried using different options and have run into a dead end in each of those. I do not have knowledge of java and hence have restricted myself to PL/SQL solutions. I tried the following options.
1. Using DBMS_XMLSave package : Expects the ROWSET and ROW tags. Connot change format of the incoming XML file (Gives error oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Start of root element expected).
2. Using the XMLPARSER and XMLDOM PL/SQL APIs : Works fine for small files. Run into memory problems for large files (Gives error java.lang.OutOfMemoryError). Have tried increasing the JAVA_POOL_SIZE but does not work. I am not sure whether I am changing the correct parameter.
I have read that the SAX API does not hog memory resources since it does not build the entire DOM tree structure. But the problem is that it does not have a PL/SQL implementation.
Can anyone PLEASE guide me in the right direction, as to the best way to achieve this through PL/SQL ??? I have not designed the tables so am flexible on using purely relational or object-relational design. Although would prefer to keep a purely relational design. (Had tried used object-relational for 1. and purely relational for 2. above)
The XML files are in the following format, (EXAMINEEs with single DEMOGRAPHIC and multiple TESTs)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Root_Element>
<Examinee>
<MACode>A</MACode>
<TestingJID>TN</TestingJID>

Please refer to the XSU(XML SQL Utility) or TransX Utility(for Multi-language Document) if you want to load data in XML format into database.
Both of them require special XML formats, please first refer to the following docs:
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/tech/xml/xdk_java/doc_library/Production9i/doc/java/xsu/xsu_userguide.html
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/tech/xml/xdk_java/doc_library/Production9i/doc/java/transx/readme.html
You can use XSLT to transform your document to the required format.
If you document is large, you can use SAX method to insert data into database. But you need to write the code.
The following sample may be useful:

Option to load XML data into BI 70

Hi All,
I have read some postings on forums and also have read the "HOW TO load XML data in BW" guide. I am confused when I read the SAP online help documentation for loading XML data .
Question : Out of the 3 options listed below which option is best suited for loading XML data into BW . XML file is going to be provided by 3rd party company ?
Thanks and appreciate any input .
Smith .
Here is what I found for BI 70 EHP1 help :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/b2/e50138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
Data is generally transferred into SAP BW by means of a data request, which is sent from SAP BW to the source system (pull from the scheduler). You can also send the data to SAP BW from outside the system. This is a data push into SAP BW.
A data push is possible for various scenarios:
●     Transferring Data Using the SOAP Service SAP Web AS
●     Transferring Data Using Web Services
●     Transferring Data Using SAP XI
In all three scenarios, data transfer takes place using transfer mechanisms that are sufficient for Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP); the data transfer is also XML-based.
The SOAP-based transfer of data is only possible for flat structures. You cannot transfer hierarchy data.

Hi,
I feel you can go with 2nd option. But still wait for some more inputs from Experts........

Flex 4 - is it possible to load xml data into the preloader and pass it to the application?

or is there a similar method to load XML data while the preloader is active, so the XML data will be ready when the main application loads?

i'm having great difficulty finding any relevant info from the forum and the web about accessing preloader variables from the application.
is there a way to access the preloader itself from the application?
It seems logical that the systemManager garbage collects it. If that's the case, how can i access the systemManager from the preloader and possible pass variables to it, then later access them from the application? this seems to be the best direction to tackle this problem. but maybe i'm overlooking another way?

Hi Sairam,
Check the checkbox Convert database Null values to default and Convert other Null values to default under Edit -> Report Options and then refresh the report.

Can you check the eventviewer on your desktop if there is an error logged against any DLL in application log (Start -- Run -- eventvwr) each time you hit this error. Also is this the first time you installed XMLP Desktop or did you have an older version?

Problem with load XML data

Hi.
I have a problem this load XML data. For example: file name:
01-05-2008.xml => in this file all data have date=01.05.2008.
Once i load period 01.05.2008 to 10.05.2008 my app load 10 files.
Sometimes some row this greater date stay earlier then row this
smaller date. I don't know why this happend. Bellow part of code.
Please help.
P.S. sorry for my very bad english.

Hi Lekser,
ntsii is totally right.
Calling httpservice send is a async operation, which means
you don´t know when the result event of such operation will
return.
You can also sort your grid after a xml data file was loaded.
At least it would guarantee that the entries appear in the
right order.

Xml publisher enterprise!!! create rtf file dynamically with load xml data

i am new to xml publisher enterprise , i want a solution for this question ...
i want create rtf file dynamically with loading xml data....means i wrote a program in jsp where the the output in xml file simultaneously create rtf file..but i enable load the xml data in rtf file but when i goto rtf file from where data in that load xml then it genrate the columns..but i want in dynamiclly to load the data will you please guide me ......

Hi Atiq
Im not quite clear on the requirement here:
1. Do you just want to be able to extract the data and apply a template to the XML data from your jdp and render output?
If so then you can use the XMLP APIs ... the are in the user guide. Particularly:
RTFProcessor - converts RTF template to XSLFO stylesheet
FOProcessor - takes, XML data, XSLFO stylesheet and output format and generates the required output.
2. Do you want a template that will accept any data and just format it into rows and columns ? This can be written but your XML structure is going to have to be static, the data of course can be dynamic.

Issue in loading XML data in BW delta queue

Hello All,
My requirement is to stage small amount of XML data in SAP BW. For doing so, i have followed below steps...
1. Create File data source
2. Define Myself data source using file data source with Function module
3. Initialize load process without no data transfer
4. Using SOAP RFC service, Load xml records in delta queue.
Now in step number 4, i am unable to open the SOAP RFC service using which we can select the xml file.
Any help in this regard will be highly appriciated.
Thanks
Ketan

SOAP/RFC service is already activated. Only problem i am facing is as below.......
1. Created HTML page by copying html snipest
2. On created HTML page, select XML file as an input and URL of SOAP service which is pointing out to the application server
3. When i press "Send recordset" button, HTML page throws "Java script" error and data is not being pushed to BW delta queue....
Please share your ideas to resolve this issue.

Load XML Data to Oracle Table

C# load xml data with attributes to datagridview; update data and save back to the xml

Hi guys,
i currently have this XML as data
<DEALS>
<DEAL ID="22" ISBN="0-7888-1623-3" Screenplay="Mary Kaplan" Title ="Mr Gentleman" Director = "Jonathan Jones">
<ALLOCATION DEMANDE="5000" CODE="72" PRICE="25.00">2500</ALLOCATION>
<ALLOCATION DEMANDE="7000" CODE="75" PRICE="35.00">4000</ALLOCATION>
</DEAL>
<DEAL ID="23" ISBN="1-7988-1623-3" Screenplay="Joe Doe" Title ="Nothing Much" Director = "Listentome">
<ALLOCATION DEMANDE="3300" CODE="72" PRICE="15.00">2500</ALLOCATION>
</DEAL>
</DEALS>
I load the data with the code below:
i use xDocument to load the DealData.xml and then put it in ToString.
//outside of the form
public static class XElementExtensions
public static DataTable ToDataTable(this XElement element)
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
string rawXml = element.ToString();
ds.ReadXml(new StringReader(rawXml));
return ds.Tables[0];
public static DataTable ToDataTable(this IEnumerable<XElement> elements)
return ToDataTable(new XElement("Root", elements));
//in the form
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
var xDocument = XDocument.Load("DealData.xml");
string txtxml = xDocument.ToString();
StringReader reader = new StringReader(txtxml);
XDocument doc1 = XDocument.Load(reader);
var res = doc1.Descendants("DEAL").ToList().Where(x => x.Attribute("ID").Value == "22").Descendants("ALLOCATION");
dataGridView1.DataSource = res.ToDataTable();
Now my question is:
I would like to update the data from the DataGridview with the Attribute("ID").Value == "22" and save the data back to the XML.
For example, after I load my data on the datagridview, we only pickup anything that is in the node
<DEAL ID="22" ISBN="0-7888-1623-3" Screenplay="Mary Kaplan" Title ="Mr Gentleman" Director = "Jonathan Jones">
<ALLOCATION DEMANDE="5000" CODE="72" PRICE="25.00">2500</ALLOCATION>
<ALLOCATION DEMANDE="7000" CODE="75" PRICE="35.00">4000</ALLOCATION>
</DEAL>
I updated the datagridview below with DEMANDE = 9000 CODE = 66 PRICE = 24.77 AND ALLOCATION = 1200
I want be able to extract the data back in the xml as a child of the DEAL ID = "22"
So that the XML file looks like this
<DEALS>
<DEAL ID="22" ISBN="0-7888-1623-3" Screenplay="Mary Kaplan" Title ="Mr Gentleman" Director = "Jonathan Jones">
<ALLOCATION DEMANDE="5000" CODE="72" PRICE="25.00">2500</ALLOCATION>
<ALLOCATION DEMANDE="7000" CODE="75" PRICE="35.00">4000</ALLOCATION>
<ALLOCATION DEMANDE="9000" CODE="66" PRICE="24.77">1200</ALLOCATION> <-! this is the new line !->
</DEAL>
<DEAL ID="23" ISBN="1-7988-1623-3" Screenplay="Joe Doe" Title ="Nothing Much" Director = "Listentome">
<ALLOCATION DEMANDE="3300" CODE="72" PRICE="15.00">2500</ALLOCATION>
</DEAL>
</DEALS>
Is there a way to achieve that?
I have been searching and reading in the books but i cannot find a solution for this.
Thank you

I would think of something like the below, the id is passed as static you need to change this
protected virtual void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
//Get DataTable from DGV datasource
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt = (DataTable)dataGridView1.DataSource;
string file1 = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><DEALS><DEAL ID=\"22\" ISBN=\"0-7888-1623-3\" Screenplay=\"Mary Kaplan\" Title =\"Mr Gentleman\" Director = \"Jonathan Jones\"><ALLOCATION DEMANDE=\"5000\" CODE=\"72\" PRICE=\"25.00\">2500</ALLOCATION><ALLOCATION DEMANDE=\"7000\" CODE=\"75\" PRICE=\"35.00\">4000</ALLOCATION></DEAL><DEAL ID=\"23\" ISBN=\"1-7988-1623-3\" Screenplay=\"Joe Doe\" Title =\"Nothing Much\" Director = \"Listentome\"><ALLOCATION DEMANDE=\"3300\" CODE=\"72\" PRICE=\"15.00\">2500</ALLOCATION></DEAL></DEALS>";
StringReader reader = new StringReader(file1);
XDocument doc1 = XDocument.Load(reader);
//Remove all elements related to the id being populated into the Grid
doc1.Descendants("DEAL").ToList().Where(x => x.Attribute("ID").Value == "22").Descendants("ALLOCATION").Remove();
//loop through datatable and create new xelement to be added to the xdocument
foreach (DataRow dr in dt.Rows)
XElement xe = new XElement("ALLOCATION",
new XAttribute("DEMANDE", dr[0].ToString()),
new XAttribute("CODE", dr[1].ToString()),
new XAttribute("PRICE", dr[2].ToString()));
xe.Value = dr[3].ToString();
doc1.Descendants("DEAL").ToList().Where(x => x.Attribute("ID").Value == "22").FirstOrDefault().Add(xe);

Loading XML Data into Relational Table

Hello,
I receive an XML file generated from another tool (on Windows), I am trying to create a Linux shell script that will gather the needed XML file from my Linux database server, then have Oracle use this file to load the XML data into a relational table. This activity & data will be needed on an ongoing basis.
I have tried this two ways. First, I loaded the XML document into the database and tried to extract the data directly from the document, but that is not working. Now I want to try to read the data directly from the file on the server via select, however I am not getting any data returned. In the Select statement below, I am simply trying to query the data to see what is returned for my testing.
Create Table ci_results_table (transactionID Varchar2(100), //transactionID should be PrimaryKey but was getting NULL value errors during insert test, so removed PK
message Varchar2(200),
ci Varchar2(50),
processeddate xmltype,
status Varchar2(50),
sourcefile VarChar2(100));
select x.*
from XMLTable(
     'TSPLoadResults/Results'
     PASSING xmltype(bfilename('CMDB_DEVADHOCRESULTS_DIR','LoadResults-HP_146.results.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8'))
     COLUMNS
       transactionID Varchar2(100) PATH 'TransactionID',
       Result XMLType PATH 'Result',
       Message Varchar2(200) PATH 'Message',
       PrimaryKey Varchar2(50) PATH 'PrimaryKey',
       ProcessedDate date PATH 'ProcessedDate',
       Status Varchar2(50) PATH 'Status',
       SourceFile VarChar2(100) PATH 'SourceFileName'
   ) x
Eventually I will need to build on this to limit the data returned to those records where SourceFileName is like 'HPDS%' and insert what is returned in to the ci_results_table. Attached is a sample Results XML file I am trying to load, It is named "ResultsTransformedtoUnix" because I used dos2Unix to convert it to Unix which may be right or wrong. (The output file I send out has to be transformed to DOS format before the other application can read it). Original file (before Unix conversion) named in script is also attached.
Please help. Thank you!

Hi,
I see some wrong things in your query.
1) The obvious one, explaining why you're not getting any data : there's a typo in the XQuery expression, it's "Result" not "Results"
2) ProcessedDate cannot be extracted as a date (at least not directly) since it actually represents a timestamp, use TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE datatype and cast back to DATE in the SELECT clause
3) transactionID is an attribute, it must be accessed with '@' (or 'attribute::' axis)
4) If the file encoding is truly ISO-8859-1 as the prolog suggests, then do not use AL32UTF8 but the corresponding charset name : WE8ISO8859P1
Here's the working query :
select x.transactionID
     , x.Message
     , x.Primarykey
     , cast(x.ProcessedDate as date) ProcessDate
     , x.Status
     , x.SourceFile
from XMLTable(
       '/TSPLoadResults/Result'
       PASSING xmltype(bfilename('XML_DIR','LoadResults-HP_146.results.xml'), nls_charset_id('WE8ISO8859P1'))
       COLUMNS
         transactionID Varchar2(100)            PATH '@transactionID',
         Message       Varchar2(200)            PATH 'Message',
         PrimaryKey    Varchar2(50)             PATH 'PrimaryKey',
         ProcessedDate timestamp with time zone PATH 'ProcessedDate',
         Status        Varchar2(50)             PATH 'Status',
         SourceFile    VarChar2(100)            PATH 'SourceFileName'
     ) x
Using this query directly over the file will only perform decently (for large files) on 11.2.0.4 and onwards.
On prior versions, first load the file in a (temporary) XMLType column with Binary XML storage and SELECT from there.
because I used dos2Unix to convert it to Unix which may be right or wrong.
This conversion shouldn't be necessary.
