Merging XML and XDP files

Hello!
I must build this POC for a client and the idea is merge XML and XPD files to feed a LiveCycle Output process and create PDF files.
I've built the XDP files and the XML to start things, now I need to figure out how to create the process to merge them in Workbench.
Is there any tutorial to help me with this task?
Thank you for any ideas!
Marcos

Thank you guys for helping a beginner in trouble.
I hope I will soon be able to help others here and help the comnunity.
Right now, I've so much to learn!
Thank you!

Capture data in 1D barcode upon merging XML with XDP?

Hi,
The scenario is:
Forms Server 7.2.2 is being used for merging XML data with an XDP file to render a PDF (displaying a pre-filled form to user).
On the XDP, there is a 1D Barcode and few fields are mapped to this barcode (the barcode is intended to capture form identification information).
Upon merging, the barcode should capture the data of those fields (data is being fetched from a db and fed as XML to Forms server). This is required as the pre-filled form will be printed and then mailed to another location, where the barcode will be read using a decoder to capture form indentification.
Will the 1D barcode captures data from those fields, after merging XML with XDP?
The form is NOT Reader Extended. Is Reader Extending a necessity for enabling 1D barcode to capture data?
Is this also applicable for 2D barcodes?
Thanks a lot for your help! :)

Thank you Hodmi,
I had forgotten to define the Record name parameter in the PDF Output Options.
As the XML structure changed, not upating this parameter was preventing the process from working.
Now it is working just fine. Thank you!

XML and XSD file to an internal table

I had read a lot of thread but i don't understand how to deal with xml/xsd in R3.
I need someone that have a definite example for this escenary please.
With OPEN DATASET took from the server XML and XSD file, and put it in two internal tables type string.
What functions or method have to use, and how to use them, to charge the XML file in an internal table?
This is an example of XML and XDS:
XML
AND CONTINUE
Best Regards,

I just tried to interpret your question, it was not obvious what you wanted.
I guess what you mean is that you have defined (statically) a deep structure, and you want to decode the XML into it. That is called a transformation (transaction STRANS, statement CALL TRANSFORMATION). You have the choice between 2 transformation languages: XSLT and ST. Of course, it depends what release you are running.
I advise you to play first with the ID transformation, to convert an ABAP deep structured data object into XML, so that you see what XML is generated, this one is called asXML. If you create your own transformation, when you call it, it will first convert automatically the data object to asXML, and the transformation has to do the rest of the job.
You can do the opposite, i.e. converting from XML to a data object, according to the same principle (intermediate asXML).
Well, there are lots of things to say, I recommend you to read articles and documentation on XSLT and ST (search on SDN).
About XSD, it won't help (and I did never see any possibility to use it) to decode the XML, as you must anyway define the target data object statically (and there's no tool to generate the ABAP code of the data object definition from the XSD).
Note that you may also use iXML libraries to parse the XML.
Please tell us more.

To be expected if you are working in a contemporary OS and contemporary MS Office suite.
The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into End of Support mid-year of 2013.
The product isn't compatible with contemporary OSs or Office suite.

How can I add links to open xml and csv files stored in another location? Please advice how to place links in my frame maker document?

Hi,
I would like to know as to how can I add links to open xml and csv files stored in another location? Please advice how to place links in my frame maker document?
Kindly advice.
Thanks
Priya

Special > Hypertext > Command "open document" will do its best to open the target document inside FrameMaker, which may not be much help; Special > Hypertext > Command "message …" will use the application you specify. The user guide for 7.0 says this about absolute links, and I don't think anything has changed since:
For example, to start PaintBrush and open the Ship.pcx file on drive C you would use the command message system pbrush.exe C:/Ship.pcx
I've not often used a relative link, and not recently: the same source says
folder levels are separated by a slash / even in Windows and Mac
[relative links] FrameMaker searches for a relative pathname beginning in the folder that contains the current document
[absolute links] FrameMaker searches for an absolute pathname beginning at the top of the file system. In Windows, the absolute pathname begins with the drive specifier, a colon and a slash.

Stopping iTunes from creating a .xml and .itf file on my desktop

i am having difficulty with the iTunes library .xml and .itf files being created on my desktop every time i run iTunes. All of my media files are on my external hard drive in the 'iTunes' folder. can any one help?
Computer is running Windows 7; iTunes version 10.2.2.12

First, I would recommend repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility.
If that doesn't fix the problem, there's a very dangerous command you can execute in the Terminal. This is very hazardous, because a simple typo can result in very drastic consequences. I have seen people erase their entire hard drive by putting a space in the wrong place! So, please follow the directions I'm going to give you very carefully!
Open the Terminal, which is found in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. In the Terminal, enter the following:
sudo rm -f
Make sure to put a space after the "-f"! Then, drag the troublesome file from the Finder and drop it on the Terminal window. That should insert the path to the file in the command. Then go back to the Terminal and press return. You will be asked for your password, and when you type it, nothing will be shown as a security measure. Press return again after entering your password. The file should be deleted.

Where to place xml and xsd files in Tomcat

Hi,
This is rather a stupid question but I am totally new to JAXP technology and i wanted to know is there a specific location where i need to store the xml and xsd files i created?. And how would i mention the target name space for the xsd file? I am usinf eclipse IDE and Tomcat 5.5.
Thanks for the patiance.

Is the question so stupid that no one even want to try to reply?

Multiple plugtmp-1 plugtmp-2 etc. in local\temp folder stay , crossdomain.xml and other files containing visited websitenames created while private browsing

OS = Windows 7
When I visit a site like youtube whith private browsing enabled and with the add-on named "shockwave flash" in firefox add-on list installed and activate the flashplayer by going to a video the following files are created in the folder C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Local\Temp\plugtmp-1
plugin-crossdomain.xml
plugin-strings-nl_NL-vflLqJ7vu.xlb
The contents of plugin-crossdomain contain both the "youtube.com" adress as "s.ytimg.com" and is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
-<cross-domain-policy> <allow-access-from domain="s.ytimg.com"/> <allow-access-from domain="*.youtube.com"/> </cross-domain-policy>
The contents of the other file I will spare you cause I think those are less common when I visit other sites but I certainly don't trust the file. The crossdomain.xml I see when I visit most other flashpayer sites as well.
I've also noticed multiple plugin-crossdomain-1.xml and onwards in numbers, I just clicked a youtube video to test, got 6 of them in my temp plus a file named "plugin-read2" (no more NL file cause I changed my country, don't know how youtube knows where I'm from, but that's another subject, don't like that either). I just noticed one with a different code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<cross-domain-policy> <allow-access-from domain="*"/> </cross-domain-policy>
So I guess this one comprimises my browsing history a bit less since it doesn't contain a webadress. If these files are even meant to be deposited in my local\temp folder. The bigger problem occurs when they stay there even after using private browsing, after clearing history, after clearing internet temporary files, cache, whatever you can think of. Which they do in my case, got more than 50 plugtmp-# folders in the previous mentioned local\temp folder containing all website names I visited in the last months. There are a variety of files in them, mostly ASP and XML, some just say file. I have yet to witness such a duplicate folder creation since I started checking my temp (perhaps when firefox crashes? I'd say I've had about 50 crashes in recent months).
I started checking my temp because of the following Microsoft Security Essential warnings I received on 23-4-12:
Exploit:Java/CVE-2010-0840.HE
containerfile:C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\jar_cache2196625541034777730.tmp
file:C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\jar_cache2196625541034777730.tmp->pong/reversi.class
and...
Exploit:Java/CVE-2008-5353.ZT
containerfile:C:\Users\Noname\AppData\Local\Temp\jar_cache1028270176376464057.tmp
file:C:\Users\Noname\AppData\Local\Temp\jar_cache1028270176376464057.tmp->Testability.class
Microsoft Security Essentials informed me that these files were quarantained and deleted but when going to my temp file they were still there, I deleted them manually and began the great quest of finding out what the multiple gigabytes of other files and folders were doing in that temp folder and not being deleted with the usual clearing options within firefox (and IE).
Note that I have set my adobe flasplayer settings to the most private intense I could think of while doing these tests (don't allow data storage for all websites, disable peer-to peer stuff, don't remember exactly anymore, etc.). I found it highly suspicious that i needed to change these settings online on an adobe website, is that correct? When right-clicking a video only limited privacy options are available which is why I tried the website thing.
After the inital discovery of the java exploit (which was discovered by MSE shortly after I installed and started my first scan with Malwarebytes, which in turn made me suspicious whether I had even downloaded the right malwarebytes, but no indication in the filename if I google it). Malwarebytes found nothing, MSE found nothing after it said it removed the files, yet it didn't remove them, manually scanning these jar_cache files with both malwarevytes and MSE resulted in nothing. Just to be sure, I deleted them anyways like I said earlier. No new jar_cache files have been created, no exploits detected since then. CCleaner has cleaned most of my temp folder, I did the rest, am blocking all cookies (except for now shortly), noscript add-on has been running a while on my firefox (V 3.6.26) to block most javascripts except from sites like youtube. I've had almost the same problem using similar manual solutions a couple of months ago, and a couple of months before that (clearing all the multiple tmp folders, removing or renaming jar_cache manually, running various antmalware software, full scan not finding a thing afterwards, installing extra add-ons to increase my security, this time it's BetterPrivacy which I found through a mozilla firefox https connection, I hope, which showed me nicely how adobe flash was still storing LSO's even after setting all storage settings to 0 kb and such on the adobe website, enabling private browsing in firefox crushed those little trolls, but still plugtmp trolls are being created, help me crush them please, they confuse me when I'm looking for a real threat but I still want to use flash, IE doesn't need those folders and files, or does it store them somewhere else?).
I'm sorry for the long story and many questions, hope it doesn't scare you away from helping me fight this. I suspect it's people wanting to belong to the hackergroup Anonymous who are doing this to my system and repeating their tricks (or the virus is still there, but I've done many antivirus scans with different programs so no need to suggest that option to me, they don't find it or I run into it after a while again, so far, have not seen jar_cache show up). Obviously, you may focus on the questions pertaining firefox and plugtmp folders, but if you can help me with any information regarding those exploits I would be extremely grateful, I've read alot but there isn't much specific information for checking where it comes from when all the anti-virus scanners don't detect anything anymore and don't block it incoming. I also have downloaded and installed process monitor but it crashes when I try to run it. The first time I tried to run it it lasted the longest, now it crashes after a few seconds, I just saw the number of events run up to almost a million and lots of cpu usage. When it crashed everything returned back to normal, or at least that's what I'm supposed to think I guess. I'll follow up on that one on their forum, but you can tell me if the program is ligit or not (it has a microsoft digital signature, or the name micosoft is used in that signature).

update:
I haven't upgraded my firefox yet because of a "TVU Web Player" plugin that isn't supported in the new firefox and I'm using it occasionally, couldn't find an upgrade for it. Most of my other plugins are upgraded in the green (according to mozilla websitechecker):
Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U31 (green)
Shockwave for Director (green - from Adobe I think)
Shockwave Flash (green - why do I even need 2 of these adobe add-ons? can I remove one? I removed everything else i could find except the reader i think, I found AdobeARM and Adobe Acrobat several versions, very confusing with names constantly switching around)
Java Deployment Toolkit 6.0.310.5 (green, grrr, again a second java, why do they do this stuff, to annoy people who are plagued with java and flash exploits? make it more complicating?)
Adobe Acrobat (green, great, it's still there, well I guess this is the reader then)
TVU Web Player for FireFox (grey - mentioned it already)
Silverlight Plug-In (yellow - hardly use it, I think, unless it's automatic without my knowing, perhaps I watched one stream with it once, I'd like to remove it, but just in case I need it, don't remember why I didn't update, perhaps a conflict, perhaps because I don't use it, or it didn't report a threat like java and doesn't create unwantend and history compromising temp files)
Google Update (grey - can I remove? what will i lose? don't remember installing it, and if I didn't, why didn't firefox block it?)
Veetle TV Core (grey)
Veetle TV Player (grey - using this for watching streams on veetle.com, probably needs the Core, deleted the broadcaster that was there earlier, never chose to install that, can't firefox regulate that when installing different components? or did i just miss that option and assumed I needed when I was installing veetle add-on?)
Well, that's the list i get when checking on your site, when i use my own browseroptions to check add-ons I get a slightly different and longer list including a few I have already turned off (which also doesn't seem very secure to me, what's the point in using your site then for anything other than updates?), here are the differences in MY list:
I can see 2 versions of Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U31, (thanks firefox for not being able to copy-paste this)
one "Classic Java plug-in for Netscape and Mozilla"
the other is "next generation plug-in for Mozilla browsers".
I think I'll just turn off the Netscape and Mozilla one, don't trust it, why would I need 2? There I did it, no crashes, screw java :P
There's also a Mozilla Default plugin listed there, why does firefox list it there without any further information whether I need it or not or whether it really originates from Mozilla firefox? It doesn't even show up when I use your website plugin checker, so is there no easy way by watching this list for me to determin I can skip worrying about it?
There's also some old ones that I recently deactivated still listed like windows live photo gallery, never remember adding that one either or needing it for anything and as usual, right-clicking and "visit homepage" is greyed out, just as it is for the many java crap add-ons I encountered so far.
Doing a quick check, the only homepage I can visit is the veetle one. The rest are greyed out. I also have several "Java Console" in my extentions tab, I deactivated all but the one with the highest number. Still no Java Console visible though, even after going to start/search "java", clicking java file and changing the settings there to "show" console instead of "hide" (can't remember exact details).
There's some other extentions from noscript, TVU webplayer again, ADblock Plus and now also BetterPrivacy (sidenote, a default.LSO remains after cleanup correct? How do I know that one isn't doing anything nasty if it's code has been changed or is being changed? To prevent other LSO's I need to use both private browsing and change all kinds of restrictions online for adobe flashplayer, can anyone say absurd!!! if you think you're infected and want to improve your security? Sorry that rant was against Adobe, but it's really against Anonymous, no offense).

Correlate XML and PDF file/mail

Following ugly requirement: PI receives XMLfiles and mails with PDF attachment. The XML contains the plain invoice data, the PDF is the signed invoice. PI sends both types as files to the customer. But the customer wants that files which belong together (see below) are sent within a time interval of max. 6 hours.
Problem is, the PDF is signed by an external partner which may need longer than those 6 hours. And the supplier is not able to hold back the corresposing XML files.
I fear the only way to solve it is by integration process (?)
The XML has a file reference tag, which corresponds to the mail attachment name, so in theory, we know what fits together. But the PDF is a binary message, so how to definine a correlation definition on it ? Do I need to map the PDF into an own XML structure, e.g. some header tag which contains the attachment name, and a base64 tag which contains the PDF ? But then I would later have to recreate the binary PDF, after the 2 messages are correlated. Is that possible in the process ? Can I map message 2 again when it leaves the process ?
We are on PI 7.0, soon 7.1
CSY

Additional info: I just implemented the solution with 2 receiver interfaces. And write both messages with file reveiver channels, one of them uses the PayloadSwapBean. Works great. The solution is better than the zip option, because now I can even set the filename as I want:
1. for the XML file, I can just use the adapter specific attribute filename (= use the name of the original XMLfile)
2. for the PDF file, this does not work without additional change because it was read as attachment with the XML file, and so gives the name of the XML file, and the original PDF filename is not in the PI message anymore. But I just add a Java mapping in the routing of the PDF file, and set the needed filename value in dynamic configuration (read the value, remove .xml and append .pdf)

Merge .vhd and .avhd files

Is there anyway to merge a disk's .vhd and it's .avhd metadata?
It's hard to make a differencing disk when the VM i'm making the base from never seem to update it's (empty) .vhd file.

Please note that this is not a supported method...it is kind of a hack, but it works....
I think it is also worth noting that I am using Hyper-V Manager, and not SCVMM, and I did not have a branched snapshot scenario. In other words, I never reverted back to a snapshot and then took later snapshots, thus "branching" the differencing files...
With that said...I don't think you have a lost cause if you are out of disk space...
The configuration for each VM is an .XML file...If you delete that .XML file, Virtual Machine Manager loses all knowledge of it (Please note a status of "Saved" complicates this more, but not worth going into now since you mentioned that you could shut down the VMs) Please also note that you will be recreating this VM, so you will need the information regarding number of Processors, and amount of memory, and the like. I was also told that this could cause you to need to activate the license again, but I did not have this problem.
In order to delete the .XML file for the VM, the Virtual Machine Manager Service has to be stopped. Before doing that, all VMs should be shut down gracefully if possible.
Here are the steps:
1. Shut down all VMs gracefully
2. Stop the service using services.msc, or stop the service using the Server Manager
3. Let any merge jobs complete that can
4. Delete (or rename for those of you carefull folks) the .xml file for the VM in question
5. Restart the Virtual Machine Management services...Your guest will not be listed.
6. Find the GUID for the VM in question...and delete the .xml configuration file.
7. Find all of the .avhd files for the machine
8. Move as many .avhd files as you need off to another drive to free up some room, but leave the last 2(very important to start with the last .avhd files and work your way backwards)
9. Change the extension on the LAST .avhd file to .vhd
10. In Hyper-V manager, chose edit disk
11. Browse for the renamed file
12. Chose to Merge the file (It will automatically look for the parent of the .avhd file...this information is included in the child file itself)...the merge will merge all information from the Child into the Parent, and THEN delete the child (this is where your space problem came in, btw)
13. Move the parent of that file (the next oldest .avhd file) back to its ORIGINAL location (very important to put it back where it was)
14. Repeat as needed
Always rename the newest Child to have a .vhd extention, because the "Edit Disk" wizard only sees .vhd files, and alway merge into the Parent, and not to a new file.
This way, you have the room you need to merge the files, and eventually, you will arrive at the original .vhd file, and have only one virtual hard drive.
After all of this, just re-create the Virtual Machine, and use the combined .vhd file in the Wizard...

Would you put XML and HTML files stored in the database as files?

Hi,
Basically that is my question. My criteria is that I will be given some XML files, I need to save the XML file somewhere for future reference. However I also have to store when it was registered and so on.
Would you install this in the database? Or you would just store the path where it is deployed?

Sim085

Hi,
Basically that is my question. My criteria is that I
will be given some XML files, I need to save the XML
file somewhere for future reference. However I also
have to store when it was registered and so on. So the XML won't be changing unless the registration date is updated?
A file modification time could give you the same effect.
Would you install this in the database? Or you would
just store the path where it is deployed?I'd favor the latter for the sake of an argument.
If you put it in the database, you wouldn't be able to query for the XML except by ID or registration date. Not much point in having it there.

Damaged XML and ITL files

Okay I can't recreate my iTunes library, what do I need to delete from iTunes on my computer, and whats the best way to re-create my iTunes music library, I have 10,000 plus songs, plus purchased music, and pod casts, and TV shows... Please help me out

That's what's stumping me, why does it want to try to import the xml file to begin with? (Don't know what iLife is but doubt that I am running it.) It doesn't do it EVERY time I start iTunes but it's been more than 50% of the time! Doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason as to when it will do it and when it won't. Upon iTunes startup it will start "importing the xml file" and then after a while it will decide that the itl file is damaged and will rename the itl file as such and then create a new one that's then missing all play counts, ratings, playlists etc. Since this isn't what I want I close iTunes, delete this new itl file and xml file and copy back my backup itl file (renaming it back to itunes library.itl). I am then back in business. It's just annoying that I have to remember to backup the itl file every time I close iTunes now. But I'll do it rather than lose my ratings, play counts etc.
At this point I don't think it's the iPod but something about this version of iTunes and the xml/itl files that's not working right together. Beats me as to what it is. I see there's a new iTunes version up now but think I'll wait a few days at least before installing it
Thanks for the help.

Premiere CC's XML and EDL files not being interpreted correctly by Redcine-X - clip duration problem

I'm having a recurring problem when sending a finished sequence to Redcine-X for final color correction.
Redcine-X doesn't read the in and out points on seemingly random clips in a timeline, making the problem clips overlap onto the surrounding clips on the same timeline track. So halfway through the video, one of the clips will just keep playing all the way to the end, and all the other clips that should be playing stay invisible in the viewer. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on how to fix it?
The reason I'm posting here rather than on Redcine-X's support is because the problem seems to be coming from the way Premiere generates the XML. FCP's XMLs are interpreted correctly.
I've tried removing all effects and speed changes before exporting XMLs from Premiere. I've restarted, trashed prefs and cleared cache in Premiere. I've tried on two different computers. I've also tried exporting EDLs and the same problem happens.
My Premiere sequence is using proxy ProRes files, created from R3D files that RCX relinks upon import.
System/Software info:
Premiere CC is up to date
Running the newest Redcine-X build 22.2.31684
Macbook Pro Retina running OS 10.8.4 with NVIDIA GeForce GT650M 1024mb, CUDA is updated, 16 GB RAM
Mac Pro running 10.8.5 with ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB, 4 GB RAM
As a side note: Premiere CC has been extremely disappointing so far. I'm having so many issues and crashes, so many advertised features seem to be buggy or not work at all, and Adobe makes it so hard find or get support. None of the threads on this community board have been helpful so instead of going through this arduous process I just fall back to using FCP7. I hope it gets better.
Thanks for any help.

Hey Sam... just wondering if you ever figured this problem out. I have the exact same problem, albeit with FCPX XML's. It's driving me bonkers and nobody seems to know. Any insight would be truly appreciated. Thanks.
