Problem with input data format - not "only" XML

Hi Experts,
I have problem with input data format.
I get some data from JMS ( MQSeries) , but input format is not clear XML.
This is some like flat file with content of XMLu2026.
Example:
0000084202008-11-0511:37<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Document xmlns="urn:xsd:test.01" xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance Sndr="0001" Rcvr="SP">
...content....
</Document>000016750
Problems in this file is :
1. data before parser <? xml version="1.0"> -> 0000084202008-11-0511:37
2. data after last parser </Document> -> 000016750
This data destroy XML format.
Unfortunately XI is not one receiver of this files and we canu2019t change this file format in queue MQSeries ( before go to XI) .
My goal is to get XML from this file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Document xmlns="urn:xsd:test.01" xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance Sndr="0001" Rcvr="SP">
...content....
</Document>
My questions:
1. Is any way or technique to delete this data 0000084202008-11-0511:37 in XI from this file ?
2. Is any way to get only XML from this file ?
Thanx .
Regards,
Seo

Hi Buddy
What is the XI adapter using?
If you use inbound File adapter content conversion you could replace these values with none and then pass it to the scenario.
Does that help?

EPM add-in problem with input data,retrieve dimension or members

Hello everyone,
I am trying to use data write back (input data) function with EPM add-in in Dashboards. I managed successfully bringing results of an EPM report. I've created a local connection at EPM, and created a connection at data manager for"Planning and consolidation, version for SAP netweaver platform". And i could get the values via refreshing connection at preview mode, so far so good. Now i want to add a connection which will serve as data write back function to a specific BPC cube. The problem is, I can retrieve data source name and environment name. But when i click to retrieve model names, it retrieves empty results. The problem exist in, "retrieve dimension" and"retrieve dimension members" functionalities too. I realized that i could retrieve model names for only one specific environment, but even i could get these, when i try to retrieve "cell definition" i am facing an error. You can see related screenshots below.
I am using Dashboards 4.1 SP2, EPM connector 10 SP 17. I created two connections as local and business planning and consolidation for netweaver. I selected same environment and model name for these connections. Neither did work. Any ideas?
Update: The reason i could see some model names and some others not was i didn't specified the model as data source at:
Enable BPC Model as reporting data source
Logon to BPC 10.0 NW web client -> Planning and Consolidation Administration -> Dimensions and Models -> Models -> Select the Model -> Edit -> Features Used with the Model -> mark check box 'Use as Source of Data' -> Save.
I will update here if i could find a solution for the other issue. (First screenshot).
Update_2: The problem was occuring because i wasn't connecting to transient cube, created automatically by applying the step at Update_1. While creating a local connection, you shouldn't connect to the original cube, but to the transient one instead to use input data functionality.

Onur

HI,
I believe it is definitely the support pack. I posted an issue on this forum and I saw your post. Your issue is very similar to mine. I saw Andy's reply to you about the SP 18 and looked into it. Thanks Andy. SP 18 resolved my issue. See my post. Kathy

Problem with the Date format and sending it to R/3

Hi all,
I have an Adaptive RFC application which fetches the data from the R/3 and displays the Employee's Personal Data.
I am using a ZFM which is customised as per the requirement from the Standard BAPI_EMPLOYEE_GETDATA.
Now the Problem i am facing is Date is default and Optional Parameter in RFC.
If i execute the RFC in R/3 without Date it is not filling the Internal Tables. And if i pass the Date it is filling the Internal Table and fetches the Records.
So in WD application i am inputing Employee FirstName, LastName or the Employee ID.
User can give any of the above input or combination of FirstName and LastName Or only the Employee ID.
Now the Main Problem is of Date which is of type Date.
I have also tried the SimpleDateFormat Class, but i am not able to achieve the result.
I have also seen the Links and threads on SDN, but unable to solve the problem.
So pls help me out asap.
Thanks & Regards,
Dhruv Shah

Hi ,
By default , RFC accept date format of SQL date (yyyy-mm-dd) . If you are using a date picker from WD, it directly set the date in SQL date format. Incase if you are trying to pass date to RFC in some other way you have to convert that into SQL date format before passing.
if you are passing String date of format dd-mm-yyyy , you try this method to convert that to SQL date and pass to your RFC.
public java.sql.Date sqlDateConvert( String date) {
    //@@begin sqlDateConvert()
     java.sql.Date dateObj=null;
     try{
          StringTokenizer tempStringTokenizer = new StringTokenizer(""+date,"-");          int dd=Integer.parseInt(tempStringTokenizer.nextToken().trim());
                                int mm=Integer.parseInt(tempStringTokenizer.nextToken().trim());
          mm=mm-1;
          int yyyy=Integer.parseInt(tempStringTokenizer.nextToken().trim());
          Calendar cal =Calendar.getInstance();
          cal.set(yyyy,mm,dd);
          dateObj = new java.sql.Date( cal.getTime().getTime());
     }catch(Exception e)
          return dateObj;
Hope this will help you.

HT3345 Importing from xls problems with the date format (mixed european format)

Hi.
I made some spreadsheets with Neo Office and saved them in xls format. So I can import them in numbers, doing so in OpenOffice, LibreOffice or even the worst in Mircosoft Office on a PC works just fine. But importing them with Numbers 2.0.4 it just don't work.
I have Mac OSX 10.5.8 and a PowerPC G4 1,67 GHz.
The date format in all other programs is " 21.05.2011" and numbers creates "21/05/2011" out of it. Although my international setting is set to 23.05.2012. It defines the cells as my own format and takes than the totally wrong format.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem, or how to change all the weird own formats in my international setting, which would be correct.
Best regards.

Hi Franklin,
I used to have similar problem with date too. To make my forms and reports work for all date, I used to send the parameter from forms to the report in text format. In the report, I grab that parameter as "Text Format" (I mean the parameter created in Oracle Reports was really as Character in datatype property) then I manipulate them in my SQL to convert that "date" into real date using TO_DATE function. Usually I use DD-MM-YYYY as my date format.
Hope this help.

Hello friends at www.oracle.com,
when I sent some informations to Reports, one of these informations was a date field. Here, the format mask may vary from one computer to another - some computers here are using american date format; however, my computer was using brazilian date format.
The fact is that I was sending date information to Reports using the mask dd/mm/yyyy, and Reports (in the computer that uses american date format) couldn't recognize it, stating that I was sending an invalid month. So I had to change my date information to dd-mon-yyyy and Reports could run in the other computer, but doesn't run here anymore - fact that obligated me to change my date format to american format.
Is there any way for me to use a date format mask that's valid to all computers here? If other computers - with other format masks - meet the same problem, the use of this program may become something very complicated.
Thanks for all answers,

Problem with the data source and web.xml

I have an issue where JSC is removing my resource reference:
<resource-ref>
<description>Creator generated DataSource Reference</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/localOracleDatabase</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
from the web.xml and sun-web.xml.
The application has been working great in the IDE for months then wham, no more data source definition. I try and add the reference manually and the IDE takes it out. I am "NOT" adding it to the .xml's in the build area. Why is JSC removing the data source entry?

This continues to be a problem. The only way that I can get around the problem is to drag a table from the data source onto the design pallete and then the datasource is added back to the web.xml. I can run fine for 10 or 15 runs then the entry is once again removed from the web.xml.
Help please!

Problem with output / Data format

Using CFMX 7.0.2
Gupta SQLBase DB
Here is my Query:
<cfquery datasource="_Casewin" name="HomeData">
SELECT CRL_RLINE.RDESC, CRL_RLINE.QUESNO
FROM CRL_RLINE
WHERE CRL_RLINE.R_CASE = '#FORM.CASE_NO#'
</cfquery>
RDESC is a memo data type, but returns this:
1 ðÙT393252 rODBC Ser¨{² \©
2 ðÙ
3
where the actual data is this:
CRL_RLINE.QUESNO CRL_RLINE.RDESC
1 NEIGHBOUR REMOVED FENCING AND WILL NOT REPLACE
2 N.S.W
3 NO
I've tried string formats, trims, justify
any ideas?

Thanks Grizzly
The driver is the Gupta SQLBase driver, other queries work
fine from all connections. it just seems to be this one table
throwing the wierd symbols in Coldfusion only.
The Database front end that enters the data is fine, doing
SQL queries in SQLBase, even in excel and access with linked tables
work fine. It is only the output through coldfusion.
This is the only field that uses the memo format, so not sure
if that is the reason

"date format not recognised" in DBMS_SESSION, on page over db_link

Hi,
I have an Apex 4.0 page which has a region that gets data constituted from a connection across a database link.
The host database is 11.1.0.6 and the remote database is 9.0.1. (Both Standard Edition)
I am using EPG.
Intermittently, I receive the following error (having turned debugging on):
Wed, 25 Aug 2010 10:21:53 GMT
ORA-20867: ORA-01821: date format not recognized
ORA-02063: preceding line from CLIFF
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SESSION", line 157
ORA-06512: at "APEX_040000.WWV_FLOW_LANG", line 387
ORA-06512: at "APEX_040000.WWV_FLOW", line 9284
ORA-06512: at "APEX_040000.F", line 267
ORA-06512: at "APEX_040000.F", line 294
ORA-06512: at line 30
I'm somewhat confused as to what is causing the generation of this error.
After receiving this error, anything I else that I do that involves building 'pages' works perfectly fine. I can login/out, no problems.
However, if I try and RUN any page within my application thereafter (all of these access local DB information apart the 1 that generates the error), I continue to receive exactly the same error - no matter which page I am trying to access.
Help?

Hi Patrick,
No. I haven't yet applied the patchset. May do that this afternoon now.
I don't believe I've manually set any date formats anywhere. Just entered the Builder with default options (apart from choosing a theme) and away I went!!
What surprises me is that the application has no problems viewing all the data. The functionality all seems fine. I had this working on a previous setup for months,. without any problems, using version 3.2. (This wasn't migrated though, this was a rebuild from scratch.)
From further "tests", the error seems to occur when I edit the page that involves the remote data.
Normally, a user would land on the page from having used a hyperlink column on a previous page's classic report region.
The point at which it all starts to go wrong is if I connect to the page as normal, but then EDIT the page, and then try and re-run it.
The problem with the date format then re-occurs repetitively, no matter which page I try and view. Sometimes pages will load some components, but then generate odd errors with others. e.g. I have a small series of 3 dial charts, all with slightly varying SQL series (same SQL, slightly different where clause). Now I am seeing that 1 may load and 2 may give odd flash errors...
Right now, I just tried to Export my application - and I still got given the date format error!! Sub-sequent retries allowed the operation to complete successfully.
The only way I seem to be able to eradicate the recurring errors is to kill all the currently connected ANONYMOUS users in the DB, and then relog to the application.

Problem with Java Dates and UPDATE for SQL2000

I am having problems with the date formats for Java. I am trying to put the current date time into a SQL table, here it the code I am using:
var Today = new Date()
var conn = Server.CreateObject( "ADODB.Connection" )
conn.Open( "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=(local);Database=BillTracking;UID=sa;PWD=;")
var sql = "UPDATE BillAssignments SET DatePosted = " + Today + " WHERE AssignmentID = '" + Request.QueryString("AssignmentID") + "'"
var rs = conn.execute(sql)
I keep getting different errors and I have been unable to find a solution yet. I know that I need to change the date format from the Java standard to the one that SQL likes.
Help....
Norm...

Please tell us where the Java part of this comes in. I see that you are using JavaScript to load up data via an ADO connection (presumably on an IIS platform) - but I do not see where you are using Java

Issue with Date format - ABAP to XML

Dear Users,
We are currently facing an issue with the date formats in XML.
We have a system (.Net), which has a webservice that we are calling for information from SAP. We created a Proxy class in SAP from the WSDL file and have attempted to use the method that gets us required information based on the Timestamp passed from SAP. However, the timestamp that the INPUT structure uses has a data element XSDDATETIME_Z.
All we can send from SAP is a simple TIMESTAMP, but the .Net system doesn't accept it since it wants the timestamp in XML format i.e. <dd-mm-yyyy>T<hh:mm:ss>Z. SAP documentation says that the field should automatically do conversion from ABAP to XML format, but that doesn't happen. We don't want to build a string from Timestamp in the XML format and send it out since we might surely miss out on the different cases involved.
Can anyone please suggest a way for us to send the date out in the required XML format?
Many thanks!

Hi Vijay,
Look at the below sample code and it works fine, i guess there is something wrong in your code or conversion, post the actual code if you are still not able figure it out with the below example.
DATA: l_xml_string TYPE string,
      l_dat_time TYPE xsddatetime_z.
CALL FUNCTION 'CACS_DATE_GET_TIMESTAMP'
EXPORTING
   I_DATE                         = sy-datum
   I_TIME                         = sy-uzeit
IMPORTING
   E_TIMESTAMP                    = l_dat_time
EXCEPTIONS
   DATE_NOT_FILLED_BUT_TIME       = 1
   DATE_HAS_NO_VALID_FORMAT       = 2
   OTHERS                         = 3.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
CALL TRANSFORMATION id
SOURCE root = l_dat_time
RESULT XML l_xml_string.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
write: l_xml_string.
ENDIF.

Hi Mahi,
Thanks for your response. But i could not understand how can we write wrapper program could you please give some light on this or provide some link it would be helpful for me:-)
I have read that blog for excel limitations but i have more question?
1) What about the negative values?
if any field is displaying negative amount then excel not displaying right value for that:(
2)How can we align header or data?
Do XMLP with EBS provide any solution for formatting in excel?
3) If for the alignment of numeric value we concatenate them with any special character then how can we perform calculation that field?
Here are so many formatting issues do we need to write any code in xml for that?
Please help.
Many Thanks,
Pragati

Facing problem with a date column in select query

Hi,
I am facing problem with a date column. Below is my query and its fainling with " invalid number format model" .
Query: SELECT *
FROM EMP
WHERE trunc(LAST_UPDATED) >= to_date(to_char(22-05-2009,'dd-mm-yyyy'),'dd-mm-yyyy')
LAST_UPDATED column is "DATE" data type.
Please help me Thanks

You do not need the TRUNC here in any case.
I don't think so. What if the user wants only data for 22nd May and the table has records with date later than 22nd also? In that case your query willl not work. In order for the Index to work, I think the query can be written like this I think Sean is right though. Use of TRUNC Function is quiet useless based on the condition given here, since the to_date Function used by OP will always point to midnight of the specified date, in this case 22-05-2009 00:00:00.

Jo
Edit: I think Sean proved his point... ;)
