Merging X XML files, sorting the resultlist and finally execute a distinct?

I have several questions about an XSLT file that I should write:
1� First, I get X paths to XML files. It can be 2, 3, 4, ... whatever a number. I don't know exactly the total amount of XML files.
I need to merge them dynamicly to one resultset.
2� Next, I need to sort them on a specific node (remark: every XML file has the same DOM tree)
3� Finally, I want to distinct the values because some of the nodes are in file 1, 2, 3 ... So I don't want duplicates.
I guess this is not possible in XSLT? I can't use Java, so it should be done using XSLT ;;;

Have a look here:
[http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/index.html|http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/index.html]
under the "Sorting" and "Grouping" sections. Also consider using XSLT 2.0, which has built-in grouping elements which make the convoluted XSLT 1.0 techniques unnecessary.

Hello Anybody, I have a question. Can any of you please suggest me how to make an xml file from the database table with all the rows? Note:- I am having the XSD Schema file and the resulted XML file should be in that XSD format only.

The Oracle documentation has a good overview of the options available

Without knowing your version, I just picked 11.2, so you made need to look for that chapter in the documentation for your version to find applicable information.

Is a copy of .xml file on the iPod too? If so, how can I copy ONLY the .xml file to my computer and NOT have to copy all my music files too?

I had to re-load my OS (Windows XP Pro) from a HD snapshot via Acronis True Image Server. I save my OS on my C: drive and all my data files on my D: drive. So when I re-loaded my OS, I still have all of my music files intact.
I have re-loaded the OS before and had to re-create iTunes library which I did by doing the follwing:
1. cut & paste .xml file in iTunes folder to desktop
2. delete .itl file in iTunes folder
3. import .xml file through iTunes file>library>iport playlist
4. navigate to .xml file on desktop and import
This worked last time I re-loaded my OS but not this time for some reason.
So I'm wondering if there is a copy of the .xml file on the iPod itself in the iPod_Control folder that I can copy and paste to my comuter desktop and import via the above steps?
I have seen all kinds of solutions on the web that include copying the music files from the iPod to the computer. I don't need to do that. I have the music files. I just need the .xml file so iTunes can talk to my iPod (5th Generation - 30G).

Backup your music library, that is the only way to ensure it does not go missing through theft, damage, operator error, machine breaks, upgrades go wrong, operator goes wrong .........

How to Merge multiple XML files in one file ( Env: XML Publisher 5.6.2)

All,
I have recently started working on XML publisher and have developed 3 reports in last 2 days using XML Publisher and integrating them with Concurrent programs.
This is a great tool.
I have got another requirement, where i need to use xml file generated by multiple run of same report with various parameters and then merge all xml file to a single report. Developing the whole custom process will take very long time and sure will have bugs in it. Instead i was thinking to use xml file generated by Oracle report itself.
Report "US Gross to net summary" generates xml output in standard output directory and then show output in PDF file. I have 7 such file generated for each payroll. I want to merge output of xml into a single xml so that i can create single report having data from all 7 xml files showing me All payroll output in a single report.
Can someone please guide me , how can i read xml file data from the output directory of a seeded concurrent program and how to manipulate data in it.
Thanks
Ankur

Hi Tim,
Thanks for replying. I have looked for "PDFBookBinder class" in xml publisher user guide for ver 5.6.2. I didn't get any reference of this text. Can you please guide me to a tutorial/link where i can get more information about this class.
Also, i originally thought of similar to your second logic, as my design basis. Oracle process generates the xml file in output directory which i can get. What i didn't get is how do i "pick them up and merge" using publisher. Also, is there way to do this merging process using pl/sql ? Can you please give little more information on your second approach.
My original plan of action is that i will create a report set in which i will call oracle seeded report for all 7 payrolls in a sequential manner. Then using the child requests of the report set i will get to 7 xml files generated by seeded oracle process. Then the piece i am not sure of , i will use those 7 files to generate a single xml file having payroll name as tree top for each output. Once single xml is ready, i can easily design a template and register the process to generate output as Excel.This process will not require me to actually change any data or do any calculation. It will only reformatting the feilds we see and abiity to see all 7 payroll at one time rather then entering these numbers manually into an excel to do analysis.
Please provide your feedback, if you think above plan is not feasible or need corrections.
Best Regards,
Ankur

Merging many XML files in diff directories

I need to create a java program to merge many XML files in diff directories.
Is there any standard code to do this?

I need to create a java program to merge many XML
files in diff directories.
Is there any standard code to do this?Hi,
For a document to be well formed or a valid XML document it should have only 1 root element containing other elements.
So in case you want to merge different documents you need to create a new root element and append the child nodes of the different XML documents you want to merge excluding the first processing instruction containing the XML version and encoding.
If you are sure that these XML that you are talking about are well formed then you can achieve this by simple File I/O. create a file create write the root element and then one by one copy the contents of other xml files except the first entity if any. Finally write the closing tag of the root element and you are done.

Error while extracting XML file from the application server

Hi ,
I am writing a XML file into the application server, after which when i try to extract the file to the local server using the report - RFASLDPC ,
the file is extracted, but with a '#' symbol at the first position.
Because of which the XML File does not open. But after i open the file in notepad and manually delete the '#' symbol and then reopen the file, it works fine.
Is there any way to remove the '#' symbol while extracting itself ??
Thanks in advance,
Vikas.

Select the option "No Character Set Conversion" in stead of Code page 1100.
However, I still have troubles -> the downloaded xml file misses a space on several places. This causes errors too.

One possible option to parse an xml-file to a flex XML object:
public function parseConXML(source:String):void

                xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(source));

How to read a XML file from BLOB column and insert in a table - PL/SQL Only

Hi,
To make data load more simple to end user instead placing file on the server and use SQL-LOADER, I came up with new idea that using oracle ebusiness suite attachment functionality. that loads a XML file from local PC to a database column(table is fnd_attachments, default data type is BLOB over here).
I tried with DBMS_LOB and didnt get around.
Please can anyone tell me how to read the BLOB column using PL/SQL and store the data in a oracle table. Here's the sample XML file and table structure FYI.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

How to update XML file from the program

i am new in abap , and i have the following issue,so plz anyone who knows how to do it
Background :
An XML file is used as the datasource for a Flex Application. From time to time this requires updating with new staff details.
i have already saved the xml file in the c drive with the name C:\AdvAC\AC1\bin-debug\assets\staff
Requirement : Write a Dialog transaction with the following text input fields.
Reference Indicator.     (Char10)
Staff No          (NUMC, Length 5)
Name               (Char50)
Room               (Numc, length 3)
Phone               (Numc Length 7)
Mail               (char30)
in screen 100
The transaction should also have an u201CUpdate Fileu201D button, which when pressed :
1) Loads the file C:\AdvAC\AC1\bin-debug\assets \ into an ITAB.
2) Inserts the data into the ITAB using the following XML format.
<staff>
<ref_ind> Reference Indicator.</ref_ind>
<staff_no> Staff No </staff_no>
<name> Name </name>
<room> Room </room>
<phone> Phone </phone>
<mail> Mail </mail>
</staff>
all should be inside <allstaff> </allstaff> tagsu2026.
Writes the ITAB back to the file.
thanx all

Creating XML files with the DME

Hi All,
I'm working on an integration project between my company and HSBC, they are requesting that we supply our AP payment files for foreign currency in XML format.
I have some limited experience with the DME and know it can create XML files, however, the elements available for XML files are different to standard flat files. Also it doesnt seem like I can create files with multiple levels? e.g.
<InitgPty>
......... <Id>
............... <OrgId>
...................... <BkPtyId>ABC00103003</BkPtyId>
.............. </OrgId>
........ </Id>
</InitgPty>
Does anyone have any documentation or experience with creating XML files with DME?
thanks
Phil.

How to merge many XML files into one?

Hi: I got a small project to combine many XML files into one and convert the combined XML file in Excel using AppleScript. My XML files look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Metadataobject>
    <from>[email protected]</from>
    <jobname>B3_IM09MBDUF</jobname>
    <pages>2</pages>
    <priority>3</priority>
    <timezone>CEST</timezone>
    <year>2013</year>
    <month>7</month>
    <day>15</day>
    <hour>11</hour>
</Metadataobject>
and like this...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Metadataobject>
    <from>[email protected]</from>
    <jobname>P1_FR1330G006007_Kate_van der Vaart</jobname>
    <pages>2</pages>
    <priority>1</priority>
    <timezone>CEST</timezone>
    <year>2013</year>
    <month>7</month>
    <day>12</day>
    <hour>16</hour>
</Metadataobject>
I get many XML files like this. And I want them to be combined and shown like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Metadataobject>
    <job id="1">
    <from>[email protected]</from>
    <jobname>B3_IM09MBDUF</jobname>
    <pages>2</pages>
    <priority>3</priority>
    <timezone>CEST</timezone>
    <year>2013</year>
    <month>7</month>
    <day>15</day>
    <hour>11</hour>
    </job>
    <job id="1">
    <from>[email protected]</from>
    <jobname>P1_FR1330G006007_Kate_van der Vaart</jobname>
    <pages>2</pages>
    <priority>1</priority>
    <timezone>CEST</timezone>
    <year>2013</year>
    <month>7</month>
    <day>12</day>
    <hour>16</hour>
    </job>
</Metadataobject>
And finally the combined XML file converts in Excel sheet with column headings "Job ID", "From", "Job Name" and so on...
Or there is another best way to get the same result...
Thanks

That is just an intermediary state to get to the excel version. Actually I get many small XML files (as shown above) from client and I want them all combined in an excel sheet with common column headings... like this...
from
jobname
pages
priority
timezone
year
month
day

How to Save XML file in the same directory as the swf file automatically?

Hi all,
I'm really new here with flash and actionscript 3, so i might not make any sense, probably. Any input is greatly appreciated.
So here's my problem, i'm trying to make a Top Score history for a flash game, which i load from an XML file. The problem comes to when i want to update the XML file. how do i do that automatically without prompting the user (ofcourse). I want it to be saved automatically to the same directory as the flash file.
here's my code right now, but it prompts the user where it wants to be saved, which i don't want to happen:
var xml:XML = <XML>
                    <topScoreList>
                    </topScoreList>
              </XML>;
for(var i:Number=0; i<10; i++)
     var Record:XML = <Record>
                         <score></score>
                         <playerName></playerName>
                    </Record>;
     Record.score.appendChild(topScores[i].toString()); //topScores[] -> class variable containing scores
     Record.playerName.appendChild(topNames[i].toString()); //topNames[] -> class variable containing names
     xml.topScoreList.appendChild(Record);
var ba:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
ba.writeUTFBytes(xml);
var fr:FileReference = new FileReference();
fr.save(ba, "topScoreList.xml");

yeah that makes sense, actually - after reading a dozen more forums. It's really weird tho that flash doesn't have a Buffer writer, unlike other programming frameworks.
But yeah, thanks. i'll start reading on flash.net.SharedObject, correct ? Thanks.
Anyways, if anyone out there has a different input, will be greatly appreciated!!
