Need XML Structure as output

Hi,
I have an input structure in the below format.
Sl.No*Name*Salary
101*Hari*45000
102*Ram*30000
103* * 25000
I want XML format in the below format.
<RecordSet>
<Record1>
<Sl.No> 101 </Sl.No>
<Name> Hari </Name>
<Salary> 45000</Salary>
</Record1>
<Record2>
<Sl.No> 102 </Sl.No>
<Name> Ram</Name>
<Salary> 30000</Salary>
</Record2>
<Record3>
<Sl.No> 102 </Sl.No>
<Name> </Name>
<Salary> 25000</Salary>
</Record3>
</Recordset>
So, basically if I have 100records, it should populate 100 records in XML.
In the above input file, * is the field separator and <NL> new line is the record separator.
Any pointers are highly appreciated.
Regards,
Babu

Need XML Structure & Parse Advice

Hello,
I am a CF Programmer who would normally use SQL as a datasource, however for a new project I thought I'd use XML where possible. I wanted to create an XML based navigation for the site but am having trouble figuring out the right way to structure the XML items and also parsing them back out.
The site is for travel type info, and as we grow counties, areas, projects, etc. will be added - So I saw the structure like so:
<data>
     <county>County A</county>
     <project>A Map</project>
     <project>A Article</project>
     <project>A Book</project>
</data>
This is of course wrong, and i have tried variations of the structure, but I know one of you gurus can point me in the right direction...
The gist is that each "County" can and will have many "Projects" associated with it. So I wanted to define some Counties and have their 'children' be the associated projects, so a nav would read like;
COUNTY A
     A Map
     A Article
     A Book
COUNTY B
     B Map
     B Article
     B Map
But no matter what I do, spry, cfml, etc I cannot query the XML for the PARENT (County) and then the CHILDREN that go only with that Parent.
without repeating the parent with each child.
Obviously this is not a big deal, for some reasons my skillset is broken today (including finding a tutorial that solves this!) So any point in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I did a project while back for a library of forms and documents. Each form or document had a category. I had to display the category then children listed under that category with links. The XML feed from the database in relation to yours was like
<data>
                        <project>
                        <projectname>A Map</projectname>
                        <county>County A</county>
                        <project>
<data>
In order to display the project name under their county, I used the Muenchian Method for sorting in the XSL file. This sorting method works great on small and large files. I use this method setting lightbox of with galleries, and sometimes for loading the spry menu for navigation.
Here is a link for the method:

XSLT Mapping to convert u201C.CSVu201D file into XML Structure.

Hi All,
I wanted to know can we use XSLT Mapping to convert u201C.CSVu201D file into XML Structure.
I am communicating between two XI Systems. First XI system is going to give u201C.CSVu201D file as main document. I need to post IDOC Corresponding to this. So what I want to do is read this u201C.CSVu201D file (Main document in payload) and first convet it into XML and then use second mapping which will convert XML to IDOC.
I know this is possible with JAVA Mapping but just wanted to confirm can we do this with XSLT mapping as well?

Download XML structure to Application server

Hi all.
I am generating an XML structure based on some data that I select from HR e-Recruiting, and I need to save the generated XML file on the application server, not the presentation server (local computer). Most of the code I have found on SDN (contributed by Robert Eijpe) and I must admit that I do not understand everything the code does.

Hi Guillaume,
The thing is that the code I presented to you is incorrect. I am asking the question of how to download / save an XML (not an internal table) to the application server. Using the gui_download will not satisfy me need, as it only downloads to the presentation server (local machine that I run my SAP session on), when I need it to download to the application server. The Open Dataset and Transfer statements are (as far as I know) only used for downloading internal tables to the application server.
So I guess my question should be like this instead:
"How can I save the XML structure that is created in the above program to the file system in the application server?"
It is a bit hard to explain this, so please ask me more questions if required.
Thank you for helping.
Best regards,
Thomas

Changing the XML Structure in "Submit as XML"

Dear all,
We have two PDF Templates which are submitted via a WebService using Submit as XML. For both templates we need the same structured XML output.
Form 1 has the hierarchy like this (all subforms):
Company
Subsdiary
Responsibles
Footer
so the xml looks like
<creditrequest>
<company>...</company>
<subsdiary>...</subsdiary>
<responsible>...</responsible>
<footer>...</footer>
</creditrequest>
Form 2 has the hiearchy like this (all subforms):
Responsibles
Subsidiary
Company
Footer
and the xml looks like
<creditrequest>
<responsible>...</responsible>
<subsdiary>...</subsdiary>
<company>...</company>
<footer>...</footer>
</creditrequest>
So my question is how can influence the XML output order without changing the PDF hiearchy. This way I can change the XML output for Form 1 or Form 2 and both files would have the same XML structure to submit.
I have checked the presubmit event and the javascript API to change XML string programmaticly but I couldn't find any possiblity to read/write the XML to submit.
Thanks,
Koray

You can use JDOM and DOM. They are classes that load the XML File on memory and then you can modify it. I strongly recommend JDOM.

Database data to nested xml structure

Hi All,
I need to convert the data in the oracle database to nested xml tree structure as below:
Data in the database is in the following structure:
1     branch1     13-JAN-11     a.txt
1     branch1     25-JAN-11     b.txt
1     branch1     25-JAN-11     c.txt
1     branch2     20-JAN-11     d.txt
2
XML for the above data should be in the format:
<Root>
<Account_no value="1">
<Desc value="branch1">
<Date value="13-JAN-11">
<Name value="a.txt"/>
</Date>
<Date value="25-JAN-11">
<Name value="b.txt"/>
<Name value="c.txt"/>
</Date>
</Desc>
<Desc value="branch2">
<Date value="20-JAN-11">
<Name value="d.txt"/>
</Date>
</Desc>
</Account_no>
<Account_no value="2">
</Account_no>
</Root>
I am able to get this kind of xml structure using java after storing the database data in a n-ary tree. But it takes more time to execute.
Can this kind of same xml format be achieved using pl/sql programming?
Please help me with your valuable insights.
Thanks,
Alagappan

Hi,
Please always mention your db version (select * from v$version).
Here's one solution using SQL/XML functions :
Sample data used :
create table sample_data
account_no number,

dt          date,
name        varchar2(30)
insert into sample_data values(1, 'branch1', to_date('13-JAN-11','DD-MON-RR'), 'a.txt');
insert into sample_data values(1, 'branch1', to_date('25-JAN-11','DD-MON-RR'), 'b.txt');
insert into sample_data values(1, 'branch1', to_date('25-JAN-11','DD-MON-RR'), 'c.txt');
insert into sample_data values(1, 'branch2', to_date('20-JAN-11','DD-MON-RR'), 'd.txt');
insert into sample_data values(2, 'branch3', to_date('20-JAN-11','DD-MON-RR'), 'e.txt');Query :

Here, I used XMLSerialize function with indent option to format the output (available starting with 11g).

CDATA and XML structure

Hej!
I am trying to but an entire XML structure into a CDATA-tag. But have not been successful.
Im using Xquery and trying to somthing like this:
I have an variable $example which contains a XML structure. For example:
$example = <elementA><A1>valueA1</A1><A2><A2a>text2a</A2a><A2b>text2b</A2b></A2><A3>valueA3</A3></elementA>
I want to something like this <![CDATA[$example]]> to be expanded to <![CDATA[<elementA><A1>valueA1</A1><A2><A2a>text2a</A2a><A2b>text2b</A2b></A2><A3>valueA3</A3></elementA>]]>
I have tried in many ways (eg by doing concat("<![CDATA[", $example, "]]>") ) and ended up with a CDATA tag that contains only the value of the elements in the tags of A1, A2 and A3. for example the CDATA that is created looks something like this:
<![CDATA[valueA1text2atext2bvalueA3]]>
instead of
<![CDATA[<elementA><A1>valueA1</A1><A2><A2a>text2a</A2a><A2b>text2b</A2b></A2><A3>valueA3</A3</elementA>]]>
I would really be grateful for any suggestions or tips and pointers on how to solve this.
Best Regards
Ninib

Hi,
Which XQuery processor are you using?
According to the W3C specifications, the output of CDATA section is part of the serialization process, not the XQuery evaluation. So it's up to the implementor to provide the necessary options.
The option we need here is the "cdata-section-elements" parameter :
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-xquery-serialization/#XML_CDATA-SECTION-ELEMENTS
For example, using the Saxon XQuery processor :
declare option saxon:output "omit-xml-declaration=yes";
declare option saxon:output "cdata-section-elements=test";
let $example := "<elementA><A1>valueA1</A1><A2><A2a>text2a</A2a><A2b>text2b</A2b></A2><A3>valueA3</A3></elementA>"
return <test>{$example}</test>which gives :
<test><![CDATA[<elementA><A1>valueA1</A1><A2><A2a>text2a</A2a><A2b>text2b</A2b></A2><A3>valueA3</A3></elementA>]]></test>

Idoc Order05 Mapping into SRM PO XML Structure

Hello All,
I need to map Idoc order05 from ERP system into SAP provided SRM XML Structure.
Anyone has done this sort of mapping before.
Let me know the details as XML has got some 4800 fields and Idoc has some 800 fields and SRM XML seems to be superset of Idoc from ERP.
Regards,Pankaj

Hi Lynton,
the source structure is an XML purchase order. There is a business package available in XI for SAP SRM 5.5 SERVER (that's SRM 5), you will have to load this in XI and use the XML purchase order structure in that business package, this is your source message. Mapping is generally done in XI, so you don't have to implement any BADI.
In SRM customising you have to activate the use of Exchange Infrastructure and make some settings for the use of XI.
In the vendor master you will have to change the sending method to XI/XML, this will then automatically create the correct output for that vendor. You can look at this using the SXI_MONITOR transaction (or SXMB_MONI) after ordering a PO.

Robin

Unfortunately, your XML is not well formed in relational terms, i.e. there's nothing to relate LineItem's to any particular OBJECT. You can't just assume that because an OBJECT appears before the LineItem's that those LineItem's belong to it. If you considered an XML schema to describe what you've shown in your XML it would be (in simplistic terms) a LineItems element containing any number of "OBJECT" or "LineItem" elements.... nothing relating those to each other.
You'd need to structure your XML so the LineItem elements are contained within the OBJECT elements... e.g.Although I entirely agree with your comments, just a few words about :
You can't just assume that because an OBJECT appears before the LineItem's that those LineItem's belong to itContrary to the relational way, the order does matter in an XML document.
However, for obvious reasons like the ones we're seeing here, it's not a good practice to use such structures as a schema can't describe it easily.
One way of getting the output :

How to open a form from Oracle XML Report .xls Output?

Hi All,
We have a requirement wherein we have one complex SQL query, requirement is to fetch the data from that query and show it to the user. So far, so good. We can either create a report thru' UTL file to show the output to the user or can create a XML report whose output can be in the excel format.
Now user wants to have a hyperlink i.e. when he clicks the BSA (Blanket Sales Agreement) from the report output, it should be able to route him to BSA screen (oracle form), so that he can directly correct the issue with that corresponding BSA on which he clicked.
i.e. requirement is to create a a hyperlink from report output which will route the user to that oracle form with the BSA queried.
Not sure how can we implement this. If anybody has come across this type of requirement, please share your ideas and the approach used so as to accomplish this. Any inputs on this will be highly appreciated.
Cheers!
-Sumir

Hello Sumir,
we create reports in an XML format using http://matzberger.de/oracle/spreadsheet-en.html.
Within these files you can create hyperlinks to a forms application like
http://<applicationserver>/forms/frmservlet?config=xy&p_autoinit_module=ab&p_autoinit_arg=123
With these parameters we call a default forms module (welcome screen) and then start module ab and execute a query for 123. The user then can directly access the data he needs.

Marcus

A better way to generate the needed XML?

I am working on a 10.2 system and looking to see if there is a better way to generate the resulting XML than what I have come up with. Here is a test case and the output it generates. I don't really like querying the table for each column needed as the real table has eight columns I am pulling. I would like to make one pass on person_h and get the info needed instead of making eight passes, but not sure if it is possible.
with person_h as
   (select 1 id, 'M' gender, 'W' race, '170' weight from dual union all
    select 1, 'M', 'W', '170' from dual union all
    select 1, 'M', 'W', '180' from dual union all
    select 1, 'M', NULL, '175' from dual union all
    select 1, NULL, 'W', NULL from dual
select xmlelement("Person",
         (select xmlagg(xmlelement("Sex", gender))
            from (select distinct gender
                    from person_h
                   where id = 1
                     and gender is not null) pg),
         (select xmlagg(xmlforest(race as "Race"))
            from (select distinct race
                    from person_h
                   where id = 1) pg),
         (select xmlagg(xmlforest(weight as "Weight"))
            from (select distinct weight
                    from person_h
                   where id = 1) pg)
       ).getstringval()
from dual;
Output
<Person>
<Sex>M</Sex>
<Race>W</Race>
<Weight>170</Weight>
<Weight>175</Weight>
<Weight>180</Weight>
</Person>Note: Previously posted on the XML DB forum at A better way to generate the needed XML? but still looking for other solutions so putting in front of more eyes here. I have considered using a WITH statement to do the initial query on person_h but haven't tested that yet to see what Oracle really will do as just getting back around to this lower priority task of mine.

I'm using the WITH statement to simulate a table and DUAL/UNION ALL to create data in that "table". I've seen it used plenty of times in this forum so not sure why a problem for this example. The actual SQL/XML statement hits that "base table" three times, so I didn't include all eight columns because three columns is sufficient to show the problem in the way I coded the SQL. Following the SQL is the sample OUTPUT that SQL statement generates and that is the output I created and need. I'm just looking for other options to achieve the listed output.

Attribute "action" missing or wrong XML structure

Does anyone know what's the problem of below XML format ?   I want to triggle a stored procedure in AS/400 from SAPXI after receiving records. But the message "No 'action' attribute found in XML document (attribute "action" missing or wrong XML structure)" is found
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Dear all,
Thanks for your help and now I can submit a stored procedure via SAP XI by using below XML format. I try to define two output parameters at the end of this XML. How to get the return value ? Should I define a response message type ? and what is the XML format ?

Thanx, Paolo

I solve the trouble using "." to separate the tagname and create the correct structure for xml.
example:
team.player.1name
team.player.1surname
team.player.1rol
team.player.2name
team.player.2surname
team.player.2role
this give me:
<team>
     <player>
          <1name>XXXX</1name>
          <1surname>YYY</1surname>
          <1role>forward</1role>
     </player>
<player>
          <2name>XXXX</2name>
          <2surname>YYY</2surname>
          <2role>forward</2role>
     </player>
</team>

<PHONE> 905000123</PHONE>
<PHONE> 905000456</PHONE>
<PHONE> 905000789</PHONE> ...... n
(There could be many phone numbers in the xml file and I need to concatenate all the numbers and insert in the PHONE column of emp table)
<SALARY>800</SALARY>
</ROW>

</ROWSET>
I am new to XML and would to know the set of lines required to read the data from xml and insert into EMP table. All this is for Oracle 10g R2.
Please let me know solution using XSU if possible.
