ns0 Prefix in XML output file

Dear Gurus,
I am working on a scenario where vendor master is triggered from SAP-XI--FTP.
when i am posting the vendor master on FTP.. i am getting
the xml output with prefix as below
<ns0:VENDORID>0000100000</ns0:VENDORID>at each element in vendor master xml file.
Instead of <VENDORID>0000100000</VENDORID>
could anyone tell how to fix this prefix at each level.
Does i need to add any module in file receiver adapter..or any patch i need to apply ..
we are on SP9 PI 7.0
Kind Regards,
Vijay

Hi,
I tryed as per blog earlier ..it is not working
i am using file receiver adapter...any other solution to fix this.

How to calculate number of data records in a XML output file

Hi,
After generating a XML output file from Oracle Reports, I want to calculate number of records in the XML file. Is it possible? Specifically, I want to calculate number of records for a group variable ( organization_id, which I use for bursting).
Thanks for the help.

Thanks BIPuser. It is useful for me.
I can use this xsl function within the template. However, I'm also looking to print this in the concurrent request log file. So, outside of rtf template, id there any PL/SQL based XML functions I can use to count the number of records.
Thanks.

Ns0 in all the element tag of the XML output file

Hi Gurus,
I'm performing a mapping in the Integration Builder. The target structure is based on an imported xsd file via External Definitions.
However, in the output file, I'm getting a ns0 prefix in all the name of the elements.
Below is an example of how the output file looks like.
<ns0:Document xmlns:ns0="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.001.001.02">
<ns0:pain.001.001.02>
<ns0:GrpHdr>
<ns0:MsgId>0000000000247040099700</ns0:MsgId>
<ns0:CreDtTm>29-07-2008 16 44 06</ns0:CreDtTm>
<ns0:Authstn />
<ns0:BtchBookg>M</ns0:BtchBookg>
<ns0:NbOfTxs>1</ns0:NbOfTxs>
<ns0:Grpg>GRPD</ns0:Grpg>
Is there any way to get rid of the ns0? Issit some namespace definition which i need to specify somewhere?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It does not matter whether your namespace prefix is ns, ns0, xyz or whatever.
When your mapping doesn't work there must be another reason.
Just try and paste the payload from moni and test ur mapping.
The namespace prefic ns0 is only a placeholder for the namespace urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.001.001.02. This namespace can also be represented by another prefix or even by the empty prefix.
However, it is not possible to model the target payload via a Message type in the Integration Repository.
Message types are simply not suitable to model a document as you have posted. However, there is simple help. Just download the schema for the Message type to your local file system. Add attribute elementFormDefault="qualified" to the root tag of that schema. Upload that schema as External Definition. This External Definition will have one External Message. Define your mapping using that schema.
Thanks

** The XML output file is unreadable in SAP ECC 6.0 (Working fine in 4.6c)

Hi Friends,
I am working in SAP Technical upgrade Project from 4.6C to SAP ECC 6.0. In 4.6c one Z program is there, the output of Z program is to generate output XML file in the application Server. We checked and downloaded that the output file is readable and the XML is valid.
When we run the same program in ECC 6.0. (after unicode check & changes done), the output xml file is generated and it is in unreadable form. (XML contains some machine characters). When we open the XML in Altova Spy, it shows the error XML is invalid. The erorr is 'character #x3F3C is grammatically unexpected'.
In 4.6c, they used the encoding <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> . We changed the encoding to UTF-8 in ECC 6.0 since we are doing unicode conversion. (
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> ). After this change also, the output file is not generated correctly. It is unreadable form. (Some Machine Characters).
Friends, What could be the problem ? . Can you help me to identify this problem.
Kind regards,
Jegathees P.

I troubleshooted that, the reason is that conversion of X to C (Hexadecimal to C) in the ASSIGN statement is not working correctly in ECC 6.0. Then, we replaced the code with our custom Function Module to convert xstring to string. After this, we got the XML correctly, readable and well-formed XML.

How to Generate XML Output file

Hi,
I want to print sample output XML file.
I got this link 362496.1
An output file can be generated via the Preview functionality available under the XML Publisher Administrator responsibility. Navigation path :
1. Login to the application as SYSADMIN
2. Responsibility: XML Publisher Administrator
3. Function: Templates
4. Select a Template for which a Preview Data file has been uploaded in the past.
5. Click on the Preview icon
6. Save the PDF to the client PC
7. Determine the version either by the above instructions OR by provide the PDF file to Global Customer Support.But in #4 I can not populate any values to search, even if I put all %.
How can I get a valid search?
Thanks a lot,
Ms K

Hi;
AFAIK if you prepare template in XML publisher than you can take output as pdf, by the way you can take xml output too
Please check user guide:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/xml-publisher/docs/XMLP5.6.1UserGuide.pdf

Hi ,
         You need a java mapping to produce exactly the output you posted here.
I assume you r working with PI 7.1 here is the java mapping code.

How to add prefixes to xml output?

Does anyone know a quick and easy way to add a namespace prefix to an xml document when you output it as a string?
i'm looking for somethinglike this.
<Order xmlns="http://www.something.com/name">
<item>sink</item>
<Order>
converted into
<dof:Order xmlns:dof="http://www.something.com/name">
<dof:item>sink</dof:item>
<dof:Order>
I have attempted to use the xmlText method on the XmlObject class passing in an XmlOptions object with setSaveSuggestedPrefixes() set to my hsahmap with the namespace and prefix, however nothing happens. Well, sometimes it works and other times it does not.
It seems that it works when i programatically build my xml using XmlObject methods, but it fails when i parse an existing xml string into the XmlObject using parse(String).
Any help would be appreciated. I can't find any detailed help anywhere.
Thanks
Jeremy

You can achieve your requirement using XSLT maaping on XML. Read more about XSLT mapping. Also read more about WordML processing tool by Microsoft.

Add XML tag to the XML output File

Experts,
My Scenario is JDBC to File
For the resultant xml file i have to append a line <?Test Line?> after
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> while passing it to legacy system ?
From SDN I found that a XSLT Mapping(as second mapping in the Interface mapping) will do the above requirement,
I got some XSLT Code from SDN to do this
1)
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" />
<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:processing-instruction
name="POSTEN">SND="SE03220037090" SNDKVAL="1" REC="SE03220669500" MSGTYPE="ORDERS"</xsl:processing-instruction>

<xsl:copy-of select="." />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
2)
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" />
<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:processing-instruction
name="POSTEN">SND="SE03220037090" SNDKVAL="1" REC="SE03220669500" MSGTYPE="ORDERS"</xsl:processing-instruction>

<xsl:copy-of select="." />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
But none of them worked for me, the additional tag does not appear on the o/p xml file
Any help would be appreciated
Srinivas

Hello Srinivas,
I had achieved the same using java mapping:
Suppose your XML structure is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Root Element>----
</Root Element>
you can use the following code:
          import java.io.*;
          import java.util.*;
          import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.*;
          public class AddCommentInXML implements StreamTransformation {
          String record=null;
          String comment=null;
          public void execute(InputStream in, OutputStream out) {
          try {
          DataInputStream stdin = new DataInputStream(in);
          int length = getLengthFromStream(stdin);
          stdin.reset();
          byte[] buffer = getBytesFromStream(stdin);
          String str = new String(buffer);
          record = "<Root Element>";
          comment ="<!Test Line><Root Element>";
          str = str.replaceAll(record,comment);
          out.write(str.getBytes());
          out.close();
          } catch (IOException e) {
          public int getLengthFromStream(InputStream is ) throws
          IOException{
          int i = 0;
          int length = 0;
          try{
          while ((i = is.read())> 0){
          length ++;
          }catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
          return length;
          public byte[] getBytesFromStream(InputStream is) throws
          IOException {
//             Create the byte array to hold the data
          byte[] bytes = new byte[getLengthFromStream(is)];
          is.reset();
//             Read in the bytes
          int offset = 0;
          int tmp = 0;
          while (offset < bytes.length
          && (is.read(bytes, offset, offset +
          (tmp = is.available()))) > 0) {
          offset += tmp;
//             Ensure all the bytes have been read in
          if (offset < bytes.length) {
          throw new IOException("Could not completely read Inputstream");
//             Close the input stream and return bytes
          is.close();
          return bytes;
          public void setParameter(Map param) {
Hope this helps.

XML output file with Control M Characters

Hi,
I am using JDOM API 1.0 on Solaris platform.
Using the XMLOuputter I write the XML data to a file. But the XML file contains Control-M characters at the end of each line..like
<User>^M
<Name>Satish</Name>^M
<id>12567</id>^M
</User>^M
File f = new File(path,Constants.USER_XML);
Document doc = getDocument();
XMLOutputter out = new XMLOutputter();
out.setFormat(Format.getPrettyFormat());
Format outFormat = out.getFormat();
outFormat.setLineSeparator(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
outFormat.setIndent(" ");
try{
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(f);
out.output(doc,fw);
} catch(IOException iox) {}I am not writing the Control-M characters. Also I am using the default encoding which is UTF-8. So how to avoid the control characters. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Satish

Those are carriage-return (CR) characters. I don't know anything about the classes you are using but I would suggest you let the software decide what line endings it is going to use (the XML default is line-feed (LF) only) instead of telling it. Just a guess.
It's also possible that those CRs were in your input document and you are just copying them to the output document. XML parsers are supposed to normalize those characters to only LF but perhaps your parser isn't doing that. Just another guess.

Page numbers from XML output file

Scenario:
We have a situation here where we would need to create an XML document and a pdf file produced by an Oracle 11i EBS report. The XML document will need to have the number of pages the report (in pdf) has produced.
For example, if I have two sales orders in the pdf report. And, the first order has three pages and the second order has five pages, we would need to create an the XML document with:
<order>1
<page>3</page>
</order>
<order>2
<page>5</page>
</order>
Question:
Is there a way for us somehow to capture the number of pages for the order (using my example) in the XML template? We want to capture it and use it to populate our XML document.
Thanks
Kamalakar.G

Hello,
If you know at which xml (data) branch you should break for each page, and your format template is setup to do so, you should be able to predetermine your page numbers using node counting.
I have used node counting only one or two times myself and (at the moment) can not even find the report(s) I used it with (sorry, just way, way too many reports around here... :-( )
Anyway, it is pretty straitforward and is documented at:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-tipnodst.html#1
A google search on XSL and node revealed many other sites with examples as well.
(ex. http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Web_Languages-Standards/XML/Q_21875961.html )
Good luck and if I ever find one of the reports I actually used it in...I will post my code.

Format of weblogic.store.Admin "dump -deep" XML output file?

Does anyone know where I can find a detailed description of the format of the XML file created by using the "dump -deep" command within the Store Administration utility?
I ran into a problem with stuck messages in a SAF persistent store on WebLogic 10.3.2. After trying everything I could think of to get the messages moving, I resorted to recovering them from the persistent store file into XML files on the filesystem, purging them from the SAF, and then re-injecting them onto the appropriate topics. The message recovery was very straightworward with a simple utility to extract the XML for the messages from the file generated by the "dump" command in the weblogic.store.Admin Store Administration utility. (NOTE: You must use the "-deep" dump option to get the message XML.)
This process was hampered by the fact that the stuck messages were intended for more than one destination and I could not easily discern the intended destination for each. This information must be in the persistent store, but I do not know whether it is available in the "dump -deep" file.
Any insight into the dump file format would be appreciated. I could not find anything in the docs.
Thanks!
- Harry

There's no facility that I know of for interpreting the data in a store.Admin dump - which explains why there's no mention of such a thing in the docs. If you're using SAF agents, I think it may have been possible to boot the WL host server, and then use the WL JMS "message management" utilities to "export" the messages. If you still need help, I recommend opening a case with customer support - make sure to save the original backing store (.DAT files or tables with file stores).

XML data output file in a directory needs to be published as a pdf report

Hi,
I have already got an XML output file in a directory.
I want to display it using RTF template using a concurrent program or some sort of java api in a pdf format to be able to print it.
How do I do it? Do I have to write another file output command to read the xml data line by line and output to BI publisher first?

Hi,
Hmm, one way is to just utl_file read the file and fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output) then close the file. Setup conc prog, rtf template, data definition and you're done.
But the main thing is that you get the XML file to $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT/oXXXXX.out where XXXXX is the request id. You could just setup host concurrent program and copy the file there!

Gareth
