Qustion in loading XML File to database

hi:
I have a XML File. In this file there is an outside entity . The definition like following:
<?Pub Doctype public="" system="PurchaseOrder.dtd"?>
          <!DOCTYPE PurchaseOrder [
          <!ENTITY % graphics SYSTEM "PurchaseOrder.SGE">
          %graphics;
          ]>
     <?Pub Inc?>
when I uploaded this file into database I got an error message
INSERT INTO PurchaseOrder VALUES(XMLTYPE(getDocument('2002060001.XML')));
ORA-31011:XML parse fail
ORA-19202:XML proccess
LPX-00202:could not open file "PurchaseOrder.SGE" Error at line 6
I placed the file (2002060001.XML and PurchaseOrder.SGE) in the same folder.
How can I solve this problem ?

9.2.0.1 does not support references to DTD as files. We are hoping to fix this in 9.2.0.2 patch. In the mean time you could try putting the DTD in a know XDB Directory (in the example below (/public/dtdirectoryP) and changing the DTD refernece to an HTTP reference to local host on 8080...
eg http://localhost:8080/public/dtddirectory/...
This might work...
Note that as far as I am aware XML DB will not validate against the DTD, nor will it entity references etc from the DTD...

    Loading XML files into Database table
    Hi I have some XML files say 100 files in a virtual directory created using &quot;Create or replace directory command&quot; and those files need to be loaded into a table having a column of XMLTYPE. 1)How to load that using Oracle provided procedures/packages

    Check out the Oracle XDB Developer's Guide, Chapter 3. There is an example of using BFileName function to load the xml files from a directory object created using create or replace directory. It works really well.

  • Error while loading XML files into scott user

    Hi All,
    I'm new to xml files. I need to load xml files into database through OWB.
    I have xml file in my local machine & am trying to load into table PO of Scott. Scott is registered as repository user.

    What privileges are missing, what shouldI do if I want to execute the procedure from scott user and load the table of scott.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hi Joshna,
    Please follow below steps to load xml file to oracle database.
    1.First connect to owb (Design Center) through your repository owner user (ex : REP_OWNER).
    2. Import WB_XML_LOAD procedure . and exit to repository owner.
    3. connect to owb design center through your repository user (ex : REP_USER)
    Create New mapping and drag one Constant Operator and create one attribute, paste / edit following code
    '<OWBXMLRuntime>'||
    '<XMLSource>'||
    '<file>E:\SOURCE\emp.xml</file>'||
    '</XMLSource>'||
    '<targets>'||
    '<target truncateFirst = "FALSE" dateFormat="yyyy.MM.dd">rep_user.emp</target>'||
    '</targets>'||
    '</OWBXMLRuntime>'
    4. Drag pre mapping operator and select WB_XML_LOAD procedure
    5. Connect Constant Operator attribute to pre mapping operator.
    6. Drag two dummy tables and connect source to target. (ex : drag t1 (table) tab two times and connect.
    7. Validate and deploy the mapping.
    8. grant necessary grant command to rep_owner user to rep_user user.
    (Note : target truncateFirst = "FALSE" by default truncate the table. So you have to give grant privileges
    To rep_user , select ,insert, delete privileges.
    9. Execute the mapping , and check EMP table. (Note : before loading EMP table delete all records ).

  • How to load XML files into ORACLE8i database?

    SAP data is being extracted into XML format (via IDOC) files which are being transferred to an ORACLE8i box. There will be a large amount of data transferred on a daily basis which will include updates and inserts. From all the information that I have read on this subject there are 2 options available :
    1. XML-SQL Utility - which converts XML into INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE SQL. There does not appear to be that much functionality available by this method for decodes, transformations on the input data.
    2. SQL*Loader - There was a statement in 1 piece of documentation stating that SQL*Loader could be used for loading XML format data files. I cannot however find any further information on how this is achieved or how it works.
    If anyone has any experience in loading XML format data files using either of the above methods (preferably SQL*Loader as it has more functionality) then could you please provide me with examples or guidance on this matter? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am not familiar with XML format data files. I am from an Oracle 7.3 background but do not have much experience with Oracle 8 onwards.
    Disclaimer.
    Any views expressed in the above paragraphs are my own and not that of Hewlett Packard Ltd.

    We are loading XML into our database using CLOB datatypes. We don't use the XSU for inserts as it is too slow. We parse the incoming XML document into a PL/SQL record type and then build a generic insert. This might not work well if you have many tags to parse into columns. We also store the entire XML CLOB into a column without parsing the individual tags into separate columns. We then use Intermedia Text for fast, index-based searching within the XML column.
    Check out The Oracle XML Portal website for code examples on how to do this:

  • Loading XML files into an 8.0.6 database...

    Hi,
    I've got an Oracle 8.0.6 instance (Sun E250 Solaris 5.7) with multiple import data feeds. I am currently using SQL*Loader to load this data which are flat text delimited files. My data feeds will soon be supplying XML files instead of these flat files which is great, unfortunately, I will not be able to upgrade in 8.1.7 in time so that I can use the XML parser.
    Is there anyway I can use SQL*Loader or some other tool to load XML files into my 8.0.6 database? If there is a way, could someone please send the information I would need to help perform this task?
    Thanks for all your help...

  • Error while loading xml files using JDBC

    Hi,
    I am trying to load xml files into an xmltype table using JDBC calls and am getting this error for some files
    LPX-00200: could not convert from encoding UTF-8 to UCS2
    The xml files and our database are both UTF-8 encoded. The version of oracle that we have here is 9.2.0.6
    Any suggestions in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Uma

    I also experienced this problem and unfortunately this solution didn't work for me given that the tag you suggested was already on the XML file.

  • How to load XML files ? HELP!

    Hi folks.
    We have an old Oracle database 7.3..
    So we need to load XML files into its tables.
    As we understand Oracle Loader doesn't help us.
    Is the way to load that files?
    Thanks in advance
    Alex

    I know you realize 7.3 is old but this is sort of like trying trying to view a DVD when you only have a VCR. Simple answer would be buy a DVD player, i.e. upgrade to a more recent version of Oracle where you will get many features to handle XML.
    How do you want the XML loaded, all as a single object? That could be a CLOB column if 7.3 had them, I am not sure. You would probably have to write PL/SQL and something with UTL_FILE (if 7.3 had that) to load it.
    If you want to put it multiple columns based on its tags, you would be better off parsing it using PERL (or something) into a CSV and loading that in SQL*Loader.
    I assume as this is using XML it is a reasonably recent design, combining that with an ancient version of the database is just going to lead to endless headaches.

  • How to load XML file to DB

    Hi All,
    My requirement is I have a XML file, its data should be stored in Database.
    Below is the sample XML file.
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <PaymentInfoMessageResponse>
    <PaymentInfoResponse>
    <TransactionType>940</TransactionType>
    <SequenceNum>04</SequenceNum>

    </PaymentInfoResponse>
    <StatusCode>OK</StatusCode>
    <StatusDetail>OK</StatusDetail>
    <ResponseItemCount>2</ResponseItemCount>
    </PaymentInfoMessageResponse>
    I have a table with columns name say TransType,SeqNum
    the value 940,04 from XML file should be saved in TransType,SeqNum Column respectively
    I am using file adapter with native format builder,selecting file type as complex type and
    In design schema,I'm not able to proceed,i'm getting error in POP up as:
    Native Format builder:error
    No global elements exist.
    How can i proceed or any other way to load XML file to DB.
    urgent Help/suggestion is required.
    Thanks in advance

    HI all,
    1)If my input is .txt file.
    we can use file adapter,using native builder,sample it,
    delimited/fixed length, we can do normal file read and file write/DB write.It works fine.
    2)If my input file is xml file,we can't use native builder format(Because it doesn't support
    delimited/fixed length/complex character in native format builder).
    so,as said in the above reply,i took a sample XML file & converted to XSD using
    File Menu > New > All Technologies tab > General > XML > XML Schema from XML Document.
    It compiles fine.
    Now,if i use file adapter(read) -- BPEL -- File adapter(write).
    Inside Transform,i am mapping filereadVariable and filewrite Variable correctly.
    If my input file is Abc.xml and its contents in read file are:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <PaymentInfoMessageResponse>
    <PaymentInfoResponse>
    <TransactionType>940</TransactionType>
    <SequenceNum>04</SequenceNum>
    <CompanyCode>902</CompanyCode>
    </PaymentInfoResponse>
    <StatusCode>OK</StatusCode>
    <StatusDetail>OK</StatusDetail>
    </PaymentInfoMessageResponse>
    In write folder,my contents are
    <PaymentInfoMessageResponse>
    <imp1:PaymentInfoResponse>
    <imp1:TransactionType/>
    <imp1:SequenceNum/>
    <imp1:ReceiptTime/>
    <imp1:CompanyCode/>
    </imp1:PaymentInfoResponse>
    <imp1:StatusCode/>
    <imp1:StatusDetail/>
    </PaymentInfoMessageResponse>
    Now,if i use file adapter(read) -- BPEL -- DB adapter(merge).
    Inside Transform,i am mapping filereadVariable and DBmerge Variable correctly.
    If my input file is Abc.xml and its contents in read file are:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <PaymentInfoMessageResponse>
    <PaymentInfoResponse>
    <TransactionType>940</TransactionType>
    <SequenceNum>04</SequenceNum>
    <CompanyCode>902</CompanyCode>
    </PaymentInfoResponse>

    </top:CeStatementHeadersInt>
    </CeStatementHeadersIntCollection>
    NO data is being inserted into DB.
    I can write my XMl file into write folder as it is using opaque object(No native format translation)
    I can write XML file into DB using BLOB data type.
    But my requirement is:
    I have a table with columns name say TransType,SeqNum
    the value 940,04 from above XML file should be saved in TransType,SeqNum Columns respectively.
    Can i do it using DOM parser/SAX parser?
    So any suggestion/help required

    DBMS_LOB.freetemporary (l_clob);
    END;
    I have tried also with this
    select xdburitype('ftp://test/file.xml').getCLob() from dual;
    but i get error
    ERROR:
    ORA-31001: Invalid resource handle or path name "ftp://test/file.xml"
    Can you pleeeeeeas show me a way to do this, thanks ???

    This will not work.. Ypu cannot use FTP to 'PULL' a document into the database. (Yes I know there's a placeholder for an FTPURITYPE() but it was never implemented).
    However you can use an FTP client to PUSH content into the XML DB repository. If the content is schema based XML associated with a known (registered) XML schema the content of the file will automatically be stored in the default table associated with the root element of the file. If the content is not associated with an known XML schema you can then use xdburitype to read the resource that was created when the document was uploaded into the repository

  • Error while retreiving xml file from database

    Hi-
    I am trying to configure Planning and getting the following error message at instance configuration step:
    "Error while retreiving xml file from database"
    We looked at PlanningSystemDB.properties, changes server name to its ip, reinstalled planning, made sure both auth methods are selected (sql server and windows), created new relational repository.. still the same error.
    Here is the contents of the configtool error file:

    Thanks for any help.

    After spending 2+ hrs with Hyperion Support nothing got resolved.. Just to give more background on this problem, we originally reconfigured all Hyperion components to use different SQL server, that is when the problem started happening as soon as we got to Planning Instance Configuration. Could this be the situations when old server name is still somewhere in the system?.. Could this be Shared Services problem.
    Here is another quote from SharedServices_Security.log

  • "Error retrieving xml file from database"

    Hello All,
    I have installed and configured planning with Shared services. While I try to create an instance in Configuration Utility by entering the Instance Name, Host Name, Port (8300) and Click "Next", I get this error -
    *"System failure:Error retrieving xml file from database".*
    My RDBMS is - SQL Server 2005
    OS - Windows 2003 Server
    I am unable to work on planning for few months due to this error.. I would sincerely appreciate if someone can provide me a solution for this..
    Thanks much,
    Varma.

    Hi,
    Ive seen this before.
    If this is a new environment could you create a blank database and configure it as your System database? Then try again and you should be fine.
    I think you may have some invalid entries in your sys database.
