Read XML from a hardware sensor file into ODI

Read XML from a hardware sensor file into ODI
Hi,
I am trying to extract xml data from a flowmeter that generates XML data.
The xml file is found in http://ip_address/history.xml
I’ve defined my Topology as such
JDBC Driver: com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.xml.SnpsXmlDriver
JDBC URL: jdbc:snps:xml?f=http://192.168.0.202/history.xml&ro=true
Please note to access the file I have to supply a username and password so I did in the definition But when testing my setup I get an error:
ava.sql.SQLException: The DTD file "http://192.168.0.202/history.dtd" doesn't exist: Server redirected too many times (20)
Please note I cannot write dtd to the device as it is a read only device.
Has anyone came across such an issue, how can I achieve this.
Thanks
Hicham

Hi David,
Thanks for your reply.
I've tried this jdbc url
jdbc:snps:xml?f=http://192.168.0.202/history.xml&d=c:\temp\history.dtd
but when I test the connection i get the following error
java.sql.SQLException: While generating the DTD from the XML file, a java.io.IOException exception occurred saying: Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: http://192.168.0.202/history.xml
If I browse http://192.168.0.202/history.xml and i supply the username and password I get an xml page.
I've supplied the username and password in the definition tab of the Data Server windows but still getting the above error.
THanks
Hicham

How can i read XML from local drive using Javascript into Live Cycle

Hello,
I am creating PDF Form using Acrobat LiveCycle.
I want to write java script for load data into relative field and data present into xml file which is located at local drive
I have write all method for parsing xml which is required ............... but i am stuck into how to read/open/load local drive xml using javascript?

sandyrock:
You'd better post this message to Adobe LiveCycle forum: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbeda8d/
You can use postMessage method in LiveCycle JavaScript to communicate with host application,the host application can be a web brower like IE.
In IE you can use IE javascript to access local XML file.

IB Error: Unable to read symbols from "UIKit" (not yet mapped into memory)

I created a simple view program for iPhone, using IB to add a button and a label, once the button is clicked, the label text is changed.
I am able to compile it fine, and ran it. The program/view showed up. But when I clicked on the button, the console showed this message:
This GDB was configured as "i386-apple-darwin".warning: Unable to read symbols for "/System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/UIKit" (file not found).
warning: Unable to read symbols from "UIKit" (not yet mapped into memory).
I checked UIKit info, it's physically (full path) at:
/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS2.0.sdk/System/Lib rary/Frameworks/UIKit.framework
The relative path to SKD is:
System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework
I'm running the latest SDK beta 8, OS X 10.5.4 latest update.
Anyone had this bizarre problem? I was able to run all Apple samples fine.
Please help!
THanks!

The answer is mentioned in a few other posts, but I thought I'd repeat it here, so that it's easier to find this solution in the future.
I got the same problem trying to build an iPhone-Simulator application using another build process -- in this case, Boost Build. When I tried to run the program, it gave me the same nonsensical dynamic-library error.
The problem is that the application you built for the iPhone Simulator is NOT a real application, even though it looks like one. You need to run it from within Xcode.
In my case, I got around the problem by building the GLPaint sample using Xcode, copying over the executable it generated with the one I generated via Boost Build, then running GLPaint (actually my program now) from within Xcode. Then it worked.
So far, it seems that Macintosh and iPhone are very unfriendly platforms to someone that's trying to port an existing project. Any attempt to do something, without completely buying into the Apple way of doing everything, leads to a torrent of cryptic undocumented errors. Even an old Unix guru like me can't keep up.

Read lines from more than 1 file of different file extensions, extract the data and output to screen

Hi,
I am trying to read data from more than one file at once. The files are different types e.g. one is a text file one is an xml file like so, StudentInformation.txt, CollegeInformation.xml. The files are all stored in one place, in this case on the D drive of
a local computer. I am trying to locate any files in the D drive with a file extension of .txt or of .xml (there may be more than two of these files in the future, so I'm trying to allow for that). Then I want to open all of these files, extract the information
and output all the information in one display window. I want all the information from these two or more files to be displayed together in the display window.
Here is the code so far. It is throwing up errors.
//Load from txt or xml files
private void btnLoad_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
IEnumerable<string> fileContents = Directory.EnumerateFiles("D:\\", "*.*", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly)
.Select(x => new FileInfo(x))
.Where(x => x.Extension == ".xml" || x.Extension == ".txt")
.Select(file => ParseFile(file));}
private string ParseFile(FileInfo file)
try
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(file.FullName))
string line;
while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
//Logic here to determine if this is the correct file and append accordingly
lbDisplay.Items.Add(line);
return line;
catch (Exception ex)
// Let the user know what went wrong
MessageBox.Show("The file could not be read: ");
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
The error it throws up is:
Error 1
'BookList.MainWindow.ParseFile(System.IO.FileInfo)': not all code paths return a value

This is the Small Basic programming language so moving to a C# forum.
But you need all paths to return a value, including if an exception is called and it jumps to the catch, perhaps just:
// Let the user know what went wrong
MessageBox.Show("The file could not be read: ");
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
return "";

Static lookup lists:read data from a Java *.properties file

Hi
i need to make static lookup lists i am using read data from a Java *.properties file
i am using the Class "PropertyFileBasedLookupViewObjectImpl" that wrote by Steve Muench in ToyStore.
but i need to use the default language for that i update the loadDataFromPropertiesFile()
method to find the correct properties file
String temp=Locale.getDefault().getLanguage();
String propertyFile =
getViewDef().getFullName().replace('.', '/')+"_"+temp+ ".properties";
the problem:
For English(TEST_en.properties) it is good and working
For Arabic(TEST_ar.properties) read from correct file _ar.properties
but the dispaly character is wrong
When Debug
In the File 1=دمشق
In debug 1=/u32423

Depending on your use case you can either use a programmatic VO or directly expose the JV class as a data control.

Trouble importing contacts from a tab-delimited file into Contacts on 10.9.5

I am having Trouble importing contacts from a tab-delimited file into Contacts on MacBook Pro, OS 10.9.5, Intel 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo., 400GB drive, 4GB memory DDR3
So far I have:
- Followed closely the help screen in Contacts app
- Modified my source document meticulously - first in MS Word, then copied and tweaked in Apple's "Text Edit" app
- The problem arises when I go to access the document for import. Specifically, the target document, and all others in that file, are "greyed out" and thus can't be "opened" to facilitate the import process
- Tried changing the extension of the document name to ".txt", ".rtf", and ".rtd". No change or improvement.
- Searched Apple.com/help and found nothing relevant
Can anyone offer some advice or tell me what I may be overlooking in this process?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Hi Rammohan,
Thanks for the effort!
But I don't need to use GUI upload because my functionality does not require to fetch data from presentation server.
Moreover, the split command advised by you contains separate fields...f1, f2, f3... and I cannot use it because I have 164 fields. I will have to split into 164 fields and assign the values back to 164 fields in the work area/header line.
Moreover I have about 10 such work areas. so the effort would be ten times the above effort! I want to avoid this! Please help!
I would be very grateful if you could provide an alternative solution.
Thanks once again,
Best Regards,
Vinod.V

How to read XML from UNIX file system

Hi,
I have this code with read a xml file from windows:
Document doc = builder.build(new File(C:\\mywork\\src\\Contacts.xml));
But how can I read the same file from UNIX? (The file is located in "\tmp\Contacts.xml")
Thanks

Hi,

File(C:\\mywork\\src\\Contacts.xml));

KennyNo, the file is really located in "/tmp/Contacts.xml". You would writeDocument doc = builder.build(new File("/tmp/Contacts.xml"));Also, your original code would need quotes around the filename too.

Here's are two example for what you are looking for
Re: Load xml data in Oracle table
Re: insert .xml file into xmltype table?
First you need to create a DIRECTORY object. That is how Oracle works and it expects a DIRECTORY object instead of a physical path when performing operations that read/write from disk. The directory path provided to the CREATE DIRECTORY command must be a directory that the machine Oracle DB resides on can see.
Then you can go either of two routes. You can INSERT that XML directly into a table, as shown in the second link I provided or you can read it into PL/SQL as the first link shows. Then in either case, you can use SQL to parse the XML for you.
Depending upon your needs, you may get better performance if you insert the XML into a table as the second link shows, assuming the XMLType column is stored as SECUREFILE BINARY XML.

Hi,
You can read an XML file from KM by using XSLT filter. You can convert the XML file into an HTML doc using XSLT filter.

Read XML from remote server

Not sure if this is even possible.
I am using APEX on a INTERNAL server, on the same network is another server hosting files.
Using PL/SQL code, I need to read the XML file.
So APEX/ORACLE is at http:\\server1\apex\f?p........
And the files are at \\server2\xml\file.xml
Can I load the xml from server2 using pl/sql in server1?
The XML is generated automatically from another system and can not be stored on the APEX server. It does not need to go into the database, just read, parced, and displayed.

Hi,
Using PL/SQL code, I need to read the XML file. You can create a directory object pointing to the location on server2 :
CREATE DIRECTORY xml_dir AS '\\server2\xml';then you can access the XML content like this :
DECLARE
v_xml_doc xmltype;
BEGIN
v_xml_doc := xmltype(bfilename('XML_DIR', 'file.xml'), nls_charset_id('CHAR_CS'));
-- XML processing here...
END;

Import data from a Fixed Length File into Oracle database

Hi,
I would like to import data from a Fixed Length text file into a table using HTML DB application.
As of now, i have a .sql file(that uses external table) to import the data into Oracle tables
I would like to integrate this in my HTML DB application so that the user can directly import the data into the table.
Sample data
XXXYYYYZZZZZ
Data should be read to table that has
Col1 Col2 Col3
XXX YYYY ZZZZZ

Hi,
I would like to import data from a Fixed Length text
file into a table using HTML DB application.AFAIK, fixed length imports are not something you can do directly with the HTML DB tools or available APIs.
As of now, i have a .sql file(that uses external
table) to import the data into Oracle tables
I would like to integrate this in my HTML DB
application so that the user can directly import the
data into the table.Any fixed-length data needs to have a specification associated with it that indicates which character position begins a new column and what each column represents. Some also include what datatype should be used for each of those.
If you really want to do this I would suggest that you create a table that you can store the file spec in. It would probably have columns for field name, start position, length or end position, datatype and any alias/column name you might want to apply. You would then use this table in a PL/SQL procedure (probably a package with the main processing procedure and various supporting procedures/functions) to read the file into memory, apply the file spec to each line and then do inserts into your table.
Obviously, this is just a concept or strategy. Implementing it will depend on your PL/SQL skills and determination. If you want to pursue this strategy I'm sure you can find some jump-starts by doing a search on the PL/SQL forum.
This may not sound like an answer - but the answer is you need to code it to fit your requirements. Hope that helps.
