Periodic autosave of XML file

Hi guys,
I'm having quite simple task, but no idea how to achieve it. A have a While loop, inside it I have som form to fill in and the output of this form is saved into xml file (using older MSXML library) and OK button for running parser and writting data into right place in XML file. All I need to do is to save XML file after the Stop button is hit, or after e.g. five minutes of application run. Just simple autosave feature.
For better ilustration, please see picture, or example.vi file.
I am running LV 2012
Thank you for your answers.

You could put these functions in an event structure within the loop. Have a shift register on the loop, passing the value through the various states of the event stucture. Have the "save" button trigger an event to save your data, and at the same time (bad pun) put the current millisecond timer value onto the shift register. In the time out case of the event structure (with a time out value of, say, 100mS wired to it to cause the timeout case to trigger regularly), compare the value of the shift register with the current millisecond count and when enough time (x) has passed have it: 1) put the new time count on the shift register, 2) save the file. This should ensure that the file is saved every x within a 100mS window of time error.

Hi All , validating the overlapped periods ,Uploading the xml file to sap

Hi All,
please provide me the logic for the following requirement: Its an urgent .
Upload Global exception periods via File:
          A customized transaction will be created for uploading the global exception periods using
          an excel file. User has to maintain the global exception periods in an excel sheet with the
          below mentioned format and upload the file manually into the system. The global
          exceptions are maintained at step of half hourly period with a factor value.
          Please find the format followed for maintaining the global exception periods in the
          excel sheet.
Date From      Period From     Date To     Period To     Factor value
06.02.2008     12     06.02.2008     14     1.2

      Once user uploads the excel file and press execute button, file contents are downloaded
      and the global exception periods are updated into ZLF_GEXCEPTION table. Please refer
      the necessary table format for details.
            During the upload of global exception periods, the periods are checked if it is overlapping
             with the previously uploaded periods. For those overlapping periods, below method is
            followed.

How to keep XML file in memory for specified period ?

How to keep XML file in memory for specified period or forever, I have 5 applications running on WebSphere I wants to use XML file for all the applications. I mean when one apllication is not using XML file still I wants to keep it in memory ...
Thanx in advance ,

Hello,you can create a DocumentManager class,
here is my solution in the past...
you can use static Hashtable save the xml's Document,if one application want get
a appointed Document.first,you can find it from Hashtable,if can't find it ,you
can create it and put into Hashtable,if the words fail to express the meaning,sorry,my english is limited

XML publisher report not generating output for huge XML files

Changed Depreciation Projections Report output type to XML.
Defined a Data Definition and a new Data Template (RTF) for this report.
Ran the Depreciation Projection Report to generate the XML output.
Ran the XML Report Publisher report to generate teh PDF/Excel output of the above report.
Output generated for smaller XML files. When XML size is big, the program is running for hours without generating the output.
Teh RTF template is basically a matrix report in which the number of columns in the report is based on the number of periods the report is run for.
The same is not working in the Desktop version also. The system is hanging when i try to view the preview pdf.
The XML file size is approximately 33 MB.
Please let me know if there is any way we can increase the memory size to see the output.
Thanks,
Ram.

How to create a data connection with dynamic XML file?

Thanks for all reply first!
I have formatted the submitted data into an XML file on the server side,this file can be import to PDF form correctly.
I try to send this XML file to the user to let him can review what he has submitted.
I guess that I should create a data connection to the XML file so that it can be reviewed by the user.
But the question is that the XML file is dynamic generated.
How can i do?
give me some clus or examples,please.
thanks,
Jasper.

Hi Jasper,
To show user back the result, you can use PDF instead of XML. You can store the PDF template in server and you can merge XML data with PDF template by Livecycle Form Data Integration service.
We, as KGC, can generate huge number of Adobe Livecycle forms in small periods. Also we give consultancy on Adobe Livecycle ES products and Adobe Livecyle Designer. In case of any need, do not hesitate to contact us.

Inserting parent /child records from a xml file ...

XML file pasted below:
I have loaded the xml file into a table called xml_demo which has a column xml_data of type xmltype.
The select for parent record is as follows and it works:
INSERT INTO balit_submissions (balitdoc, documentversion, datetime_from,job_id, status,creation_datetime)
(SELECT 'MOL'
,to_number(extract(x.xml_data,'/MolDocument/DocumentVersion/@v'))
,to_date(substr(extract(x.xml_data,'/MolDocument/ValidTimeInterval/@v'),1,16),
'yyyy-mm-dd"T"hh24:mi')
,123456
,'CREATED',
NULL
FROM xml_DEMO x WHERE
existsnode(x.xml_data,'/MolDocument/DocumentIdentification[@v="MOL_20100331_1500_1600"]') = 1)
Having problem creating child records. From this file I expect to create 3 records.
insert into balit_energy_blocks
SO_ID,
DATETIME_FROM,
DIRECTION,
BLOCK_NUMBER,
ENERGY,
LAST_SUBMIT_DATETIME,
PRICE_POUNDS,
PRICE_EUROS,
BALIT_REF,
STATUS,
LAST_EDIT_DATETIME,
MOL_REASON,
ACQUIRING_SO_AREA)
(SELECT 'RTE'
,to_date(substr(extract(x.xml_data,'/MolDocument/ValidTimeInterval/@v'),1,16),
'yyyy-mm-dd"T"hh24:mi')
,DECODE(extract(x.xml_data,'/MolDocument/MolTimeSeries/Direction/@v'),'AO1','Up','Down')
,to_number(substr(extract(x.xml_data,'/MolDocument/MolTimeSeries/ContractIdentification/@v'),19))
,to_number(extract(x.xml_data,'/MolDocument/MolTimeSeries/Period/Interval/EnergyPrice/@v'))
,sysdate
,null -- price pounds
,null -- price euro
,extract(x.xml_data,'/MolDocument/MolTimeSeries/ContractIdentification/@v')
,'SUBMITTED'
,'A96'
,NULL -- acquiring area
,sysdate
FROM xml_DEMO x WHERE
existsnode(x.xml_data,'/MolDocument/DocumentIdentification[@v="MOL_20100331_1500_1600"]') = 1)
For example, there are 3 ContractIdentification tags. Example of 1:
<ContractIdentification v="RTE_20100331_1500_16"/>
I was expecting this select to pluck the last number from this string. In this case 16.
The select was:
to_number(substr(extract(x.xml_data,'/MolDocument/MolTimeSeries/ContractIdentification/@v'),19))
The result I got was:
16RTE_20100331_1500_20NG_20100331_1500_6
All contractident values are concatnated and returns from position 19 onwards.
Can anyone help me to extract the last number from each ContractIdentification tag value and to create the 3 records
Thanks
James Sathiaraj

Hi,
The result I got was:
16RTE_20100331_1500_20NG_20100331_1500_6In the query you tried, you access a single record so you can't expect to get three rows "magically". The EXTRACT function just works as expected, it extracts the requested nodes, but the result is still an XML fragment (a scalar value).
In order to achieve your goal, you have to break the MolTimeSeries sequence into relational rows.
Two similar solutions are possible, XMLTable (10gR2 and up) or Table/XMLSequence.
In your other post you mentioned db version 10.1, so I guess we'll go with XMLSequence :
SELECT 'RTE'
 ,to_date(substr(extractvalue(x.xml_data,'/MolDocument/ValidTimeInterval/@v'),1,16),'yyyy-mm-dd"T"hh24:mi')
 ,decode(extractvalue(x2.column_value,'/MolTimeSeries/Direction/@v'),'A01','Up','Down')
 ,to_number(regexp_substr(extractvalue(x2.column_value,'/MolTimeSeries/ContractIdentification/@v'),'\d+$'))
 ,to_number(extractvalue(x2.column_value,'/MolTimeSeries/Period/Interval/EnergyPrice/@v'))
 ,sysdate
 ,null
 ,null
 ,extractvalue(x2.column_value,'/MolTimeSeries/ContractIdentification/@v')
 ,'SUBMITTED'
 ,'A96'
 ,null
 ,sysdate
FROM xml_demo x,
 table(
 xmlsequence(
 extract(x.xml_data, '/MolDocument/MolTimeSeries')
 ) x2
WHERE existsnode(x.xml_data,'/MolDocument/DocumentIdentification[@v="MOL_20100331_1500_1600"]') = 1;Please also note the use of REGEXP_SUBSTR instead of the regular SUBSTR because it didn't work for "NG_20100331_1500_6".
Hope that helps.

"The required index.xml file is missing."

Hello everyone !
I created a pages files a couple of days ago.
I modified it successfully yesterday, by adding some jpeg files in it.
But, now i can't open it.
The massage is "The required index.xml file is missing."
Although I still can have a "quick look" at my file.
This is the first and only time I've had this.
What can I do ?
Thank you for your concern.

May you explain what means "it doesn't work".
I know what means "it works" : we get a package in which we may find the Index.xml file
"It doesn't work" may means :
(1) double click the zip file can't expand the file
(2) it expands it but there is no index.xml file in the resulting package
(3) it expands, there is an index.xml file but Pages can't use it
It's a bit odd but we get the same error message in the three cases
In case 1, your unique help is the pdf displayed in Preview.
In case 2 & 3, you may retrieve your picture files if you inserted some of them.
In case 3, sometimes, we may extract the text contents when a preview.pdf isn't available but for you, it's unneeded as the preview is available. So, you may extract the text component with a Copy/Paste action.
CAUTION : I hope that this stupid accident will help you to understand that computers aren't perfect tools. When we use them, the main rule is *_keep incremental (chronological) backups_*. This will give you the ability to retrieve an usable document among a set of consecutive copies.
You may achieve this goal with :
(1) my free autosave script (dedicated to iWork)
(2) the application ForeverSave which apply to every applications but is not free (to get incremental backups).

Webdav and xdb, xml-files are automatically deleted (or hidden)

Hi All.
In our project we have mounted webdav from a Linux box against an IBM database server running AIX and Oracle 11g.
The file system on the Linux box is mounted to the xdb-schema on the dbserver.
When placing xml-files into the database through the webdav-catalogue on the Linux-box the files are copied over, but almost immediatly removed (or hidden) from the target directory in the database.
I´m thinking there might be a trigger that tries to validate the xml-file against an xsd that isn´t registered in XDB. The reason for this is that when suffixing these files with something other than .xml the files are kept visible to all users.
What I´d like to know is how to disable this check/trigger, and which trigger does this.
Can anybody tell me if my assumtion is correct, and if yes, how to disable this checking?
Our users in the project will also be given access to folders through this webdav mount, and they will use this as a storage space for other xml-files as well. Files we do not have xsd´s for. Another function for this webdav directory is to serve as a source directory for ODI, and ODI validates the files against the xsd when transferring data to the database, so we don´t need this extra validation in the database.
Thanks,
Bob

Hi,
What's the database version? (select * from v$version)
When placing xml-files into the database through the webdav-catalogue on the Linux-box the files are copied over, but almost immediatly removed (or hidden) Does that mean you see them for a short period of time, and then they disappear, or you never see them at all?
Are you using XML DB events?
You can check if there's any resource configuration defined, and that may explain this behaviour :
select x.*

   , xmltable(
       xmlnamespaces(default 'http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb/XDBResConfig.xsd')

Starting a workflow from an XML file

Does anyone know if there is anyway to have a workflow poll a folder for the existence of an XML file and start a workflow with it? When looking in the documentation, there is a mention of a scheduler. I need to integrate with a fairly old system that can only read and write text files. Any help is appreciated.
Dave

Hi Dave
This is actually quite easy to achieve. We use this design pattern regularly, and it works very nicely.
Here are the steps:
* Download and deploy the DocumentImport, FolderWatch and FileCopyMove QPACs from http://www.avoka.com/avoka/qpac_library.shtml
* Create a workflow that is your "Watcher" process.
Step 1 in this will use the FolderWatch to wait for a file in the designated folder, capturing its name when it appears.
Step 2: use the FileCopyMove to move the found file to a "Processed" directory. (Click the current-date checkbox to include the current date as a sub-folder - very handy.) Moving the file ensures that it won't be reprocessed on the next iteration.
Step 3: Use the Chain QPAC (or our ChainPlus) to start the real process, passing the name of the newly moved file as a parameter. Then, have this Workflow loop back to step 1.
If you make this workflow asynchronous, then it will even survive server restarts, so no need to restart it each time. The Watcher workflow will create one "real" workflow for each file that arrives in the watched folder.
* Create the real workflow. It should have one "in" variable that is the name of the file. Step1: Use the DocumentImport QPAC to import the file into a process variable. You mention XML, so import into an XML variable. If the file is a properties file, then we also do have a properties file import QPAC. You're done, you can do the real workflow now.
If you have any problems with this, please let us know.
Regards,
Howard
PS You should periodically stop and restart the watcher process. The reason for this is that you will get a LOT of entries in the audit trail for this process instance in adminui, and stopping and restarting keeps this to manageable numbers.

Autogenerate Manifest.xml file for custom namespace

I am working on a library with custom components and I want the library to have a custom namespace. From my reading, it looks like I need to create a manifest.xml file to associate by components with a specific namespace. (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Live Docs_Book_Parts&file=compilers_123_43.html)
Is there anyway I can autogenerate the manifest.xml file? I am using Flex Builder 3 for development.I have a lot of components and I may periodically add and remove components, so I do not want to have to manually modify the manifest.xml file every time I make a change.

Did you follow the guidelines in the Connect 6 SDK documentation? This document was applicable from version 6 through 7.5.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Connect/6.0/SDK/help.pdf
Your SWF needs to be named index.swf to work, as I recall.

Display an XML file Content as a treeView in a SharePoint 2013 custom form edited with SharePoint Designer 2013

Hello everyone,
Within a list form, user has to select a value amongst a huge number of availables options.
Instead of using something like a dropdown list, which would be very boring to parse, I would like to display possibles values in a treeview.
To do that, I tried to use an <Sharepoint:SPTreeView bind to a SharePoint:SPXmlDataSource who read data from an XML File.
<SharePoint:SPXmlDataSource runat="server" DataFile="../../SiteAssets/App_Data/myfile.xml" AutoSave="True" XPath="" ID="myDataXml"></SharePoint:SPXmlDataSource>
<SharePoint:SPTreeView runat="server" ID="MyTreeView" DataSourceID="myDataXml" />
But when I try to display the form in my web browser, an error occurs.
Therefore, my question is : Is it possible to display the content of an Xml file as a treeView in a SharePoint 2013 custom form edited with SharePoint Designer 2013 ?
If the answer is yes, how ? Which are the required properties for "SharePoint:SPXmlDataSource" tag and "SharePoint:SPTreeView" tag ?
What are the requirements to use thoses tags ?
Regards,
Florian.
Ps : I dont have access to the server side of the SharePoint site I am working on.

Assuming that https://fullsitename is a new URL address did you make sure to update your browser to include it in the Trusted Sites zone? The message you are quoting is exactly the one you get if you don't have it in Trusted Sites.

Error "Cannot parse appinfo xml file."

Periodically my users are getting the error below when trying to launch BPC for Excel:
"Cannot parse appinfo xml file."
Seems this file is getting corrupted somehow. If I remove the file from their citrix profile and they relogin, the file is recreated and then they can launch BPC for Excel. Until then though, they get this error and sometimes it says the Web App server is unavailable, when it indeed is available.
Anyone experience this, or have any ideas as to the problem?
Thanks,
Greg

Please notice that inquiries related to BPC topics should now be posted to dedicated forums.

How to comment/uncomment section of XML file with JAXP?

Hi,
I need to periodically under some condition, comment or uncomment a section of my XML file. I want to know is there a way that I can do it with JAXP?
I am using JDK 1.5
Thanks,

Hi Sachi,
>>Now I have to pupulate flat file where 1st row of the file should always be field names.
Duplicate the target node and map you field names to the first instance and the mapping logic to the next instance
eg:
Suppose your target structure is:
-root
-->Details
>FName
>LName
Do a Mapping like this:
-root
-->Details
><FName>FName </FName>
><LName>LName </LName>
-->Details (use mapping logic hereafter)
><FName>
><LName>

SAF-T Problem when editing XML file

hello,
SAP released the RTXDART_PT report, to satisfy a new Portuguese legal requirement that becomes mandatory for all companies (following OECD norm).
The SAF-T is a file containing reliable accounting data exportable from an original accounting system (we use DART module in SAP) for a specific time period and easily readable.
I have just implemented the solution DART but I have a problem to produce the XML file.
I have the flat file using FTW1A transaction but when I launch RTXDART_PT transaction, I have not the XML file created.
Does anybody know how to proceed ?
Thank you very much.

Bom dia
Nós temos um problema com o Codepage layout, mesmo depois de termos aplicado a nota:
Note 1128306 - SAFT-PT: RTXDART_PT : Dart PT additional corrections
Criado o Badi e aplicado as correcções adicionais.
O que se passa é que na edição do XML sempre que temos caracteres "&" por exemplo em fornecedores "R & R, lda" o que nos é visualizado através de um editor de XML é o seguinte: "R & R, lda" isto acontece com diversos caracteres que o programa não converte, alguém tem alguma ideia de uma possivel solução?
Obrigado

Does anyone have a good server.xml file for tomcat?

I am trying to link apache and tomcat on a RedHat 9 computer. I previously posted a message stating that I could not get tomcat to "automagically" make the configuration files (mod_jk.conf-auto) that all the manuals promised it would. However, I found that my problem was the lack of an ApacheConfig tag in the server.xml file. After looking at my server.xml file, I found that it was much more simplistic than I would hoped = it did not have enough comments or commented out options. It had none of the directives that the manuals said it included by default.
In short, does anyone who has apache and tomcat linked have a server.xml file that I can look at so that I can figure out what I must add to mine to get tomcat working with apache? I would greatly appreciate it if you could copy and paste the whole thing here.
Thank you very much in advance.
Edward S. Rice

Hi!
I am having the Apache-Tomcat4.0 version installed on a Win2000 machine. I am pasting here my server.xml. Hope it will be useful to you. I even didnot do much modifications to my server.xml except for adding a context.
Please come back if problem persists.
