ODI interface exported to XML

Can ODI export an interface definition out to XML? I don't mean the interface data out to an XML target, I mean the metadata describing the interface itself, out from the work repository to an XML document. Is this provided as a feature in the tool?

Yes. Right-Mouse-Button on the interface and there in the list is Export.
Note that the export will contain references to the obejcts directly related to the interface by code, withing the project. The export must be imported into the same project elsewhere.
There is some discussion on the export/import processes in the dicumentation.

Framemaker 9.0p196 crashes while exporting to xml

Hello,
This occurs both with XP Pro SP3 and Win7 iSP 1 . On a XP Pro SP3 without domain connection the crash does not occur. According to the event log caused ntdll.dll the crash.
Addendum: The XML is created correctly. this happens to all book projects, new and old. Does anyone have an idea?

You could try checking your version of ntdll.dll (a Windows protected system file) for corruption using the "sfc /scannow" command. This replaces corrupted protected system files with the correct MS ones. Also, you could then check if there are any issues with the DirectX graphics (the drivers could be affecting the FM behaviourr) on your system using the DXDIAG utility.
However, as it seems to happen on two systems, the corruption doesn't seem that likely of a culprit. Are you using FM with the structure or unstructured interface, i.e. is your workflow creating the XML using the Save As XML from unstrucured files or are you exporting the XML from a structured application?

Error when trying to execute ODI Interface

Hello,
I receive the following error when I try to execute an ODI interface. The interface contains two models trying to load a .csv file into an Oracle table. The models seem to be working and I can right click on the source file and "View Data". I have specifed LKM File To Oracle (SQLLDR), IKM Oracle Incremental Update, and CKM Oracle. But still receive this error on the fourth step of the execution "Loading - SS_0 - call sqlldr via Jython"

Thank you for your help

Almost...
You need the sql loader where the "OS command" will execute it means where the agent is installed (once you will execute it from an agent when at production).
AND that machine where the agent is, need to "see" the target database through the Oracle Listener (tnsnames)....
Is just like to execute a Sql Loader from you own machine, but who write the command will be ODI.
Does it make any sense to you?

ODI 11g : JMS Queue XML Data Server creation

Hi Everybody,
I am facing a problem while i am trying to create a JMS Queue XML data server in ODI 11g. I have
the following details of the queue.
QueueManager=xxx;
TransportType=1;
HostName=ab.cde.fe.com;Port=77777;
Channel=CLIENT.TO.xxx1
destination name : SU.BH.RAJY.OTI.UPDATE_ITEM_RESPONSE.01
user : xyz
password : 123
I have sussefully created an jms datasouce in weblogic name 'eis/jms/abc' and also I have successfully
retrived the xml message from queue in BPEL
(using a jms adapter where
JMS Provider : Third Party,
Jms Provider Jndi Name -eis/jms/abc,
Operation name : consume_message,
destinamtion name is queue:///SU.BH.RAJY.OTI.UPDATE_ITEM_RESPONSE.01?targetClient=1).
But the new reqirement is to retive the xml data in ODI using "JMS Queue XML data server".I have tried
several ways(reading from internet) but failed to configure physical dataserver and reverse the xml message.
Also failed to understand properly the oracle post (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/integrate.1111/e12644/jms_xml.htm#CHDFCFBI).
Speically this portion "JNDI URL: <JMS_RESOURCE>?d=<DTD_FILE>&s=<SCHEMA>&JMS_DESTINATION=<JMS_DESTINATION_NAME>.".
What will be the "JMS_RESOURCE" in my case.
How can I configure JMS Queue XML?
Please help!
Note : I don't have the XML message structure of the Queue(also DTD file). So , I have to reverse it.
Thanks & Regards,

Structure inDesign document and export as XML for use in the web

Hello everyone,
I just recently started using inDesign and I am fascinated by its possibilities! I use it for a project where a finished inDesign layout that is used for a printed publication is now supposed to be transformed for implementing it on a web site. My job is to export the inDesign document as an XML file. After massive reading the last weeks I'm quite familiar with the structuring and tagging in inDesign. Though there's some issues I do not understand. Your precious advice would be of highest meaning to me
The programmer who will later use my XML output for the web-transformation needs the document structured in different levels like "Root > Chapter > Subchapter > Text passage / table". I already structured the document with tags like title, text passage, table, infobox,... but the structure is just linear, putting one item following to another.
How can I structure the document with reoccuring tags that enable me to identify the exact position of an item in the document's structure? So that I can say for example "text passage X" is located in chapter 4, subchapter 1. This has to be done because the document is supposed to be updated later on. So maybe a chapter gets modified and has to be replaced, but this replacement is supposed to be displayed.
I hope my problem becomes clear! That's my biggest issue for now. So for any help I'd be very thankful!

Our print publications are created in InDesign CS5 for Mac then the text is exported to RTF files then sent to an outside company to be converted to our XML specifications for use by our website developers. I would like to create a workflow in which our XML tags are included in the InDesign layouts and then export the XML from the layouts.
Some more detail about what kind of formatting is necessary might be helpful.
I know that IDML files contain the entire layout in XML format. Is it a good idea to extract what we need from IDML, using the already-assigned tags?
Well, if you want to export the whole document, it's the only reasonable approach.
We use a workflow system such that each story is a seperate InCopy document, stored in ICML format (Basically a subset of IDML). Our web automation uses XSLT to convert each story into HTML for use on our web site; it also matches it up with external metadata so it knows what is a headline and what is not, etc.. It is not exactly hassle free, and every once in a while someone uses a new InDesign feature that breaks things (e.g., our XSLT has no support for paragraph numbering, so numbered paragraphs show up without their numbers).
You could do the same thing with with IDML, you'd just have to pick out each story, but that's small potatoes compared to all the XSL work you're going to have to do.
On the other hand, there may be better approaches if you're not going to export the whole document. For instance, you could use scripting to export each story as an RTF file, and then you could convert the RTF files into HTML using other tools.

What is use of Active mapping in ODi interfaces?

hi,
What is use of active mapping in ODI interfaces ?
What are the advantages of using active mapping?
If active mapping is not used in ODI ,would it affect ODI code in some sense?
Thanks,

PBDOM : Exporting to XML file gives a single line

I've been starting developing with PowerBuilder 12.5 a few weeks ago. I had to write some XML files, so I got familiar with the PBDOM library.
I can build a lot of different things, it's very nice, but one thing still bothers me :
In the output file, the whole XML is written on a single line.
I use the SaveDocument function.
For example, here is some code :
PBDOM_Document doc
PBDOM_Element noderoot, node1, node11, node12
doc = CREATE PBDOM_Document
doc.NewDocument("NodeRoot")
noderoot = doc.GetRootElement()
node1 = CREATE PBDOM_Element
node1.SetName("Node1")
noderoot.AddContent(node1)
node1.SetAttribute("Attr", "AttrValue")
node11 = CREATE PBDOM_Element
node11.SetName("Node11")
node11.AddContent("Here is a value")
node1.AddContent(node11)
node12 = CREATE PBDOM_ELEMENT
node12.SetName("Node12")
node12.AddContent("Here is another value")
node1.AddContent(node12)
doc.SaveDocument("myDoc.xml")
Here is the result when I open it with notepad++
<NodeRoot><Node1 Attr="AttrValue"><Node11>Here is a value</Node11><Node12>Here is another value</Node12></Node1></NodeRoot>
Whereas I wanted :
<NodeRoot> <Node1 Attr="AttrValue"> <Node11>Here is a value</Node11> <Node12>Here is another value</Node12> </Node1> </NodeRoot>
With the notepad++ XML tools plugin, I can use the "pretty print" function to get this nice representation. But I would like my file to be formatted this way from the beginning. I noticed that the "line ending" was set to UNIX format (indicator on bottom right of the window), but I'm working on Windows. When I use the menu to convert it to Windows format (CR+LF), it changes this indicator, but the code stays on one single line.
Is there a way to tell PBDOM to export the XML file with a nice output ?
Thank you !
Notes :
- Opening the XML file with Internet Explorer or Google Chrome gives me a nice vizualisation, with indentation, line breaks...
- Adding a <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> does not help (I've been doing it while exporting some more complex files, but I still get the output on one line...)

Here is a very simple powerbuilder example. It uses MSXML instead of PBDOM. See my comments for hints how to use it with PBDOM.
oleobject lole_dom, lole_root, lole_element1, lole_element11, lole_element12
oleobject lole_Writer, lole_saxreader
string ls_result
// build DOM (you don't need this if you use PBDOM)
lole_dom = create oleobject
lole_dom.ConnectToNewObject ("Msxml2.DOMDocument")
lole_root = lole_dom.CreateElement ("NodeRoot")
lole_dom.documentElement = lole_root
lole_element1 = lole_dom.CreateElement("Node1")
lole_root.AppendChild(lole_element1)
lole_element1.SetAttribute("Attr", "AttrValue")
lole_element11 = lole_dom.CreateElement("Node11")
lole_element11.AppendChild (lole_dom.CreateTextNode("Here is a value"))
lole_element1.AppendChild(lole_element11)
lole_element12 = lole_dom.CreateElement("Node12")
lole_element12.AppendChild (lole_dom.CreateTextNode("Here is another value"))
lole_element1.AppendChild(lole_element12)
// this saves the DOM without formatting
//lole_dom.save ("d:\testxml.xml")
// this part is for formating
lole_Writer = create oleobject
lole_saxreader = create oleobject
lole_Writer.ConnectToNewObject ("MSXML2.MXXMLWriter")
lole_saxreader.ConnectToNewObject ("MSXML2.SAXXMLReader")
lole_Writer.omitXMLDeclaration = True
lole_Writer.indent = True
lole_saxreader.contentHandler = lole_Writer
// instead of DOM you can also put a XML string to parser: lole_saxreader.parse ("<node>...</node>")
// so you can also use the PBDOM output directly
lole_saxreader.parse (lole_dom)
// here is your formatted output
ls_Result = lole_Writer.output
MessageBox ("", ls_result)
lole_writer.Disconnectobject( )
lole_saxreader.Disconnectobject( )
lole_dom.Disconnectobject( )
DESTROY lole_writer
DESTROY lole_saxreader
DESTROY lole_dom

How to Comapare Row by Row in ODI Interface

Hi all
i want to Compare Record by Record from my Source Table.
Can any one Explain Logic How can i do through ODI Interface?

If you want row by row processing (rather than set based) then look at using Knowledge Modules that implicitly use a cursor via the agent to load the staging table (e.g LKM SQL to SQL) or a KM that explicitly uses a cursor to load the target table (e.g IKM Incremental updata row by row).
It wont be as fast as set based though!
What do you want to do with each row? Can you load them all into the staging area and then process row by row?

Dynamic Column Name in ODI Interface

Hi Everyone
I have a requirement to read a set of columns from source table and move the data to target table. Set of columns are decided dynamically based on parameter say PVV_PREFIX.
For example, assume the following tables
Source: Employee (OFFICE_ADDRESS1, OFFICE_ADDRESS2, OFFICE_CITY, HOME_ADDRESS1, HOME_ADDRESS2, HOME_CITY)
Target: Address(TYPE, ADDRESS1, ADDRESS2, CITY)
Now, if scenario is called PVV_PREFIX=OFFICE, then OFFICE_* columns should be mapped to target table
if scenario is called PVV_PREFIX=HOME, then HOME_* columns should be mapped to target table
In actual requirement there are more than 30 such columns. Declaring those many variables is really not practical, rather we prefer to #PVV_PREFIX + '_ADDRESS1' kind of approach. But not getting supported in ODI Interface.
Please let me know if this requirement is feasible via ODI Interface or we need to do only using ODI procedure. Thank you
Regards
Prasad

Prasad,
You can do it using single interface itself but you will need to customize the KM .
Step 1. Create Interface mapping with appropriate Source to Target Mapping.
Step2. Customize KM in such a way that you add prefix PVV_PREFIX. This can done using ODI Variable or Java
Step 3. Execute and test you interface
Please let me know if you have any question in above approach .

Basic Issue with ODI interface

Hi All,
I have a very strange problem.
I am coding my second interface in ODI.
Its very simple
Joining 4 tables ,with one filter and connect it with the target table.
The interface when executed runs fine,without any error.
But the target table doesn't get populated.
So when i check the ODI interface at every step via the Operator navigator,I get no error at any step.
step1) drop a table (this comes as a warning as no table exists)
step2) create a view(this step suceeds ,but when i check the database the view is not created)
STEP 2 is a real issue and I can't understand as to why this view is not
getting created in database,when the step completes successfully
Pls can someone suggest where should i look for ?
rgds
s

I can relate to your issue.
ODI does this to me all the time.
The Operator logs show all greens and show no error, but no data makes its way to the Target.
I usually remove one mapping at a time and re-run the Interface. That helps me pin-point what might be the issue. Very frustrating.

Need help for Export to XML Functionality

Hi All ,
I have developed a report in Apex2.2 to export the data into XML format .
I have used "export to XML" functionality and "HTF.escape_sc" function to escape special characters.The query is as follows..
select
HTF.escape_sc(replace (e.EVENT_NAME,'''','&'||'apos;')) AS EVENT_NAME ,
HTF.escape_sc(replace (e.VENUE_NAME,'''','&'||'apos;')) AS VENUE_NAME ,
HTF.escape_sc(replace (e.VENUE_ADDR,'''','&'||'apos;')) AS VENUE_ADDR ,
HTF.escape_sc(replace (e.DESCRIPTION,'''','&'||'apos;')) AS DESCRIPTION ,
HTF.escape_sc(replace (e.TRACKING_URL,'''','&'||'apos;')) AS TRACKING_URL ,
HTF.escape_sc(replace (d.primary_product,'''','&'||'apos;')) AS primary_product
from events e ,d_01 d
where
d.event_id = to_char(e.event_id)
and e.publish = 'external'
and e.searchable = 'Y'
The output result in XML in APEX2.2 is absolutely fine , but when i moved the application to apex.oracle.com the XML report instead of '&' it is displaying "%26amp" .
Is there any problem with APEX3.3 .
Appreciate your quick response.
Thanks
Jyoti

Jyoti,
Replacing special characters from where? Report? Replacing by what?
The code for the package is open. You may use the part in the package body:
FOR i IN 1 .. CEIL (v_xml_l / 4000)
      LOOP
         v_xml_cut := SUBSTR (v_xml, v_count, 4000);
         HTP.prn (v_xml_cut);
         v_count := v_count + 4000;
      END LOOP;
...and do something like
HTP.prn (REPLACE(v_xml_cut, '&', '&lt;'));

Table-Export to XML

Hi all!
I'm a Newbie in BC4J, but I have to create an apllication with this technology.
My problem is, that one table should be exported to XML. I know that the standard Apllication, created by a wizard got this feature, but I didn't found the sourcecode.
Is there anybody, who knows how to implement an XML-Export?
Thanx
Peter Zerwes

Get the ViewObject reference that you want to export, e.g, in an AM say there's Dept/Emp VOs setup as masterdetail,
you may then get the DeptVO and call one of the writeXML() apis on it.
See javadoc for oracle.jbo.ViewObject and oracle.jbo.XMLInterface.writeXML().

Regarding logical joining of two table by using ODI interface

I have a two table in database.i have to logically add them, with the help of ODI interface.which should reflect in target.
there is a smple cinario regarding ,convertion of relational table to flat file.
but how to reflect mutiple table through joining in target from source.

Hi
Please correct my understan on your query
You want to say that, you have two tables at source side and want to store data to target table, later from target to flat file
or
You have two target table want to store data into flat file
Thanks
