Raw XML from Oracle once BI Publisher report is mapped and grouping in Word

Hello,
Once you have uploaded your BI Publisher report, mapped it out, etc. Does anyone know how you can still view the raw XML data, similar to what you loaded into word BI Publisher originally?
And separately does anyone know the best way to group things in word when creating your template? I need to group off of year and then SGL but am having trouble doing this.
Thanks,
Jon

XMl data will be shown under "Data' in the output layout drop down box

Sorry, yes this is Microsoft Excel. The Microsoft XP has Excel files denoted as xl, the later versions of Microsoft Excel are denoted as xls files. The later verions of Microsoft Excel open the xl files OK, does Excel for Mac not able to do this?

Calling Web Service passing xml from Oracle Forms

Hello,
I need to call a .net web service from Oracle Forms that passes in xml data and returns xml data.
I have seen several examples of how to create a wrapper in jdev and then to import the code
into forms. I just have not seen any examples that are passing parmameters especially not xml
as a parameter and that have an active wsdl that I can see how it relates to the code created.
I have a wrapper but cannot figure out where and what notation to use to include passing in
an xml object.
Does anyone have an example passing in xml where the wsdl is still available to see?'
Forms version 10.1.2.0.2. Jdev 10.1.3.4
Thanks,
Linda

Also here you have several options...
1. you can make a PJC (bean) which include a webservice stub generated with axis (you can make a stub and also test a webservice with this tool: www.soapui.org)..
2. you can make a database webservice with JPublisher and then just call a pl/sql wrapper for this webservice
4. you can call a webservice with java api (HttpsURLConnection, HttpURLConnection or with apache HTTPClient api) from your PJC for example:
the code below is used as java stored procedure to call a .net webservice on https

Generating xml from oracle 10g with BLOB image

Hello All,
I have employee table with id(primary key), firstname,lastname
and I have portrait table with id(secondary key from employee table),image (blob)
portrait table store images of the employees which are in the employee table.
I want to generate following xml output
<rowset>
<id> </id>
<firstname> </firstname>
<lastname> </lastname>
<portrait>base64formatted string containing image of the employee for the particular id specified in the id tag</portrait>
</rowset>
and save this xml as id.xml into a particular folder in the c drive and generate such xmls for each and every row of the emplyee table...
e.g. if i have 200 emplyees with id as 1 ,2 ,.....,200 and their respective portraits into portrait table; then I want to save these as separate xml files with the names 1.xml , 2.xml , .....200.xml inside a folder say : C:\temp...
Any help is highly appreciated

I was going to write up a longer answer, but then I realized this post contains pretty much all you need
http://www.liberidu.com/blog/?p=365
I like using XMLElement/XMLForest to build the XML as it gives you the most control.
In the first example on Marco's website, you would just use dbms_xslprocessor.clob2file to write each file out to disk with a CURSOR FOR loop instead of doing a single OPEN/FETCH/CLOSE. The cursor would return two columns, employee.id and the generated XML. The filename would be based on the "id" column returned by the CURSOR.
Assumption: The machine that Oracle resides on has the "C:\temp" directory that you want to write to. You cannot use this method to right files onto a client machine.
Hope that gets you started.

Creating XML from Oracle Tables

Would it be possible to post me a snapshot of the ODI Flow diagram for an Oracle to XML conversion? Does the staging area have to be on the Target (XML)? What KMs & CM should be used? Can the XML be written straight back to an .xml file? What should the XML Schema look like?
These are the KMs I use: LKM-SQL to SQL; IKM-SQL Incremental Update; CKM-SQL.
My flow is straight from source (oracle) to target (xml), with staging area on target (doesn't feel right).
My Oracle Dataserver & Schema work fine. Not sure about the XML dataserver setup though - I think this is where the problem lies. These are my JDBC settings:
- com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.xml.SnpsXmlDriver
- jdbc:snps:xml?f=E:\Oracle ODI\Member.xsd
I am evaluating ODI for a client and I wanted to throw together a quick demo showing how easily ODI can generate XML from any source. I know this is the case as I understand the concept of ODI's components - just haven't had time to read manuals thoroughly.
Many thanks for your help,
Steve

Hello,
1. Try to test the connection to the XML dataserver.
2. Create a model and reverse-engineer this dataserver. You'll see what the XML structure is mapped to immediately.
3. Integrate data to this model (using standard KM targeting "SQL").
You can put the staging area on the Oracle source or in the XML driver if you want. Both solutions will work.
just haven't had time to read manuals thoroughly.I think you should quickly read the "Sunopsis ODI with... XML" section in the manual.
It is not very long and very helpful. Have also a quick look at the XML driver documentation.

-FX

Generate XML from Oracle Table Data

Some things output XML all as one stream, some things naturally display it structured. It doesn't matter as the XML is still the same because by it's very nature it is a structured data definition. Anything that reads XML will be able to read it whether it's on one line (streamed) or structured.
also can i export all the columns of the table by some thing like select * from the table in XML file ?A couple of ways of exporting XML to a file...

XML From Oracle

I would like to have a stored function return a CLOB field that is an XML DOM Tree that I can build from a cursor... Does anyone have some baseic information of hopw t oget this started. I have not installed any Java support into Oracle yet. Right now I have a new 8.1.7 database.
Thank you

You can use the XMLGEN package that comes with the XML SQL Utility, or use the XML SQL Utility's OracleXMLQuery class in a Java Stored Procedure of your own creation to accomplish this.

Generating XML from Oracle DB

While generating XML data from Oracle relational database, using the following SQL statement,

Can anyone let me know why I am getting this and how to correct it.
I am using Oracle SQL Developer version 1.2.1 Build MAIN - 32.13 to run the above statement.

Probably an issue about how the client "implicitly" converts an XMLType to display its lob content.
You may use getStringVal() or getClobVal() methods to get the content :

Cannot open a raw file from my Nikon D800,,,i have downloaded every and i mean every version of raw

i am up to raw 8.3,,still getting an error message,,,frustrated,,,but still shooting in Tiff,,,would love to see a raw file open

Unreadable on my computer. I also use a D800, so I know my computer can read them.
Opening it up in a binary editor, I see the magic words "Nikon Transfer 1.1", which you've already been asked about twice.
You need to update this software, or use something else. Old versions of Nikon Transfer are known to corrupt recent Nikon cameras' files.
Read these:
https://nikoneurope-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/53027
https://nikoneurope-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/50878
for info on updating or disabling it.
You will need to download the raw files from the cards again, once you've fixed the problem.
Personally, I stick my cards in a card reader and use Adobe Photodownloader, which is part of Bridge (which comes with Photoshop).

Extract of Data from Oracle in a Flat File with Column and Record seperator

I have a case where I have to extract whole data froma Oracle Table where the Columns should be seperated by |@|
and Records by ^*^.
The reason for this is My data has Space and New line in it. So My Program to recoganize each column and record I want them to be seperated by special chars.
Itried this but of no much help.
set echo off newpage 0 space 0 pagesize 0 feed off head off trimspool on;
spool on;
set colsep '|@|';
set recsepchar '^*^';
spool "T_COMPLAINT.dat";
select * from T_COMPLAINT where ROWNUM < '100' order by cptoid;
spool off;

Having '@' and '*' characters in the data will not make any difference if you are using a combined column separator of '|@|' - provided any process you use subsequently can handle it.
However, the recsepchar parameter appears to be restricted to a single character which is repeated right across the page, so I don't think you could have a single iteration of '|*|' using this method:
SQL> set newpage 0 space 0 pagesize 0 feed off head off trimspool on
SQL> set recsep EACH
SQL> set recsepchar '*'
SQL> set colsep '|@|'
SQL> select * from testa;
A         |@|1@        |@|22-JUN-2010
B         |@|2*        |@|22-JUN-2010
B         |@|2*        |@|22-JUN-2010

Poor raw conversion from Fujifilm X100 .raf format in Lightroom 3 and 4

I'm seeing very poor results when doing raw conversion from Fujifilm X100 .raf format. Who can I contact about this? Is there anything I can do?
See below for what is supposed to be a white curtain, lit by stage lighting. It results in a blown out blue channel, serious loss of detail, and very ugly gradient.
(Lightroom 4.2, Camera Raw 7.2 on LEFT --- Fujifilm X100 in-camera jpg on RIGHT)
And for more detail:
(Lightroom 4.2, Camera Raw 7.2 on TOP --- Fujifilm X100 in-camera jpg on BOTTOM)
(Lightroom 4.2, Camera Raw 7.2 on LEFT --- Fujifilm X100 in-camera jpg on RIGHT)

The blue light is so intense that it is, or almost is, saturating the sensor.
The camera’s built-in raw conversion handles this by shifting the color to cyan—clipping the blue and allowing the green to contribute more. I doubt there was cyan lighting in the scene, only blue.
Adobe does not shift the hue, but this makes the blue seem over saturated. Adobe’s conversion may be more colorimetrically correct, but less pleasing in this case of intense lighting that the sensor cannot accurately record.
It is a difference in camera profile used between the camera and Adobe. Since Adobe does not supply camera-match profiles for much more than Nikon and Canon cameras, you’re not going to be able to fix things other than managing the over-saturation using HSL or WB or other things like lower-vibrance, higher saturation.
You could try making your own camera profile using an X-Rite Color-Checker Passport or the color-checker and the Adobe DNG Profile Editor:

Send information from Oracle DB - PI - NW 7.0 BI and viceversa

Hello,
I need to send information from Oracle DB to SAP NW 7.0 BI passing through a SAP PI and viceversa.
Ho can I do that?
I need help
Best Regards...
Pablo Mortera.

As the sender is ORacle you can use a sender adapter which is JDBC in XI.
As the receiver is BI system, try to use either Proxy or RFC or Idoc as a receiver adapter.

Dequeue XML from Oracle AQ and insert data into table

Using PL/SQL in a stored procedure, I need to dequeue a message from an Oracle AQ queue, parse the XML content and insert the data in an Oracle table. This is being done in Oracle 9.2.x.
The payload for the message consists of 2 attributes, APPLICATION_DATA (VARCHAR2(32) and MESSAGE_BODY (CLOB). The MESSAGE_BODY is an XML document. A sample of the message is shown below:
(M_NAME=MSG_LAW_WR_CRE_UPD, <?xml version = "1.0"?>
<MSG_LAW_WR_CRE_UPD ID = "WMIS-4744" SRC_SYSTEM_CODE = "WMIS" SRC_SYSTEM_INSTANCE = "WMIS">
<WR:CMP_LAW_WR_CRE_UPD xmlns:WR = "WR" >
<WR:DATETIME>12/19/2005</WR:DATETIME>
<WR:RUSCODE>100</WR:RUSCODE>
<WR:WRNO>38213</WR:WRNO>
</WR:CMP_LAW_WR_CRE_UPD>
</MSG_LAW_WR_CRE_UPD>)
This message needs to be dequeued from a queue named INBOUND, parsed and inserted into a table named INFO_TO_ACCT (CREATEDATE date, RUSCODE varchar2(10), WRNO number).
Any help would be appreciated.

SELECT EXTRACTVALUE(xmltype('<?xml version = "1.0"?>

<WRNO>38213</WRNO>
</CMP_LAW_WR_CRE_UPD>
</MSG_LAW_WR_CRE_UPD>'),'//DATETIME/text()') FROM DUAL;
hope this helps.

Generating xml from oracle table

I want to generate xml form an oracle table and using sql developer, oracle express 10g, xdk forler is also unzipped under oracle express folder, still getting following error: code used

Thanks in advance

Hi,
DBMS_XMLQUERY is a wrapper for methods from the Java class "oracle.xml.sql.query.OracleXMLStaticQuery".
The problem is that Oracle 10g XE doesn't have a JVM, so you can't use this package.
Use DBMS_XMLGEN instead, it provides similar functionalities and is more efficient (C-based) :
SQL> var g_clob clob
SQL> DECLARE
2    l_ctx    dbms_xmlgen.ctxHandle;
3 BEGIN
4    l_ctx := dbms_xmlgen.newContext('select * from scott.emp');
5    :g_clob := dbms_xmlgen.getXML(l_ctx);
6    dbms_xmlgen.closeContext(l_ctx);
7 END;
8 /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Create XML from oracle table if not null

Hello dear community,
I have a problem by creating an XML file in oracle and hope you could help me.
What I have is an table named "description" with three rows there:
person varchar2(50)
adress varchar2(50)
Nr number
Reading this table I am going to create an XML file like that:
Procedure Create_XML (iNr IN number, cXmlFile OUT clob) is
varPerson varchar2(50);
varAdress varchar2(50);
Begin
varPerson := ... ;
varAdress := ... ;
select
xmlserialize
content
xmlelement
"Head",
xmlelement
"Node",
xmlelement
"Line",
xmlelement("ATNAM", 'PERSON'),
xmlelement("ATWRT", PERSON),
xmlelement("ATFOR", varPerson)
xmlelement
"Line",
xmlelement("ATNAM", 'ADRESS'),
xmlelement("ATWRT", ADRESS),
xmlelement("ATFOR", varAdress)
indent
) as xml
into cXmlFile
from description
where Nr = iNr;
End Create_XML;
What I want to do, is just to take the value from the both rows "person" and "adress" and fill the xml file with additional info.
1. My first question is, if it is possible to create any kind of routine for the xmlelement "Line" instead of doing it all over and over again? How?
2. An other issue is very important to me: how can I check here if f.i. the row person is empty or not? If it is, the xmlelement "Line" with person information in it should not be created at all.
Any answer would really help me!
Thank you a lot in advance!

Hi,
Could you elaborate a little on your first question?
Are you looking for something like :
SELECT xmlquery(
'<head>
<node>
   for $i in ora:view("DESCRIPTION")/ROW[NR=$nr]/*[local-name()!="NR"]
   return element Line {
    element ATNAM {local-name($i)},
    element ATWRT {$i/text()}
</node>
</head>'
passing sys_xmlgen(1) as "nr"
returning content
FROM dual;but since you use a specific variable for each "line" type, I don't see how we can generalize the construction of the line element.
