Removing portions of generated XML

Is there a way to remove the header of the generated XML and the rowidattributename from the row element using xmlgen package?
<?xml version = '1.0'?> <----REMOVE THIS
<negotiation_row eno="57388"> <---REMOVE THIS

No way to avoid the XML declaration, but you can use:
setRowIdAttrName('')
to avoid getting a rowid attribute.
If you use do subsequent XSLT transformation, you can use the:
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
to avoid the XML declaration as part of the transformed output.

Remove spaces when generating xml from data mapped on object types

My problem is kind of complex so I'll try to reduce it to a more manageable example:
drop type msm force;
drop type list_msm force;
create type msm as object(
     nume char(20)
create type list_msm as table of msm;
select xmlserialize (document xmlelement("values",
     cast(multiset(
          select trim(p.den) from produse p) as list_msm
     ) as clob indent size=2
     ) as "xml"
     from dual;
This is where it gets tricky.
p.den is a field that contains spaces. I use trim(p.den) to remove them but because I cast this to list_msm, the values are then again mapped into msm objects, which have the "nume" field of char(20). So.. when generating the XML, the output still contains spaces.
This is an excerpt of the result:
<values>
<LIST_MSM>
<MSM>
<NUME>Prod.1 </NUME>
</MSM>
<MSM>
<NUME>Prod.2 </NUME>
</MSM>
<MSM>
<NUME>Prod.3 </NUME>
</MSM>
<Later.. I see that the forum removes the extra spaces but I ensure you that after eg. "Prod.1" there are a lot of spaces, as the original field from the "produse" table is defined as char(20))
So.. Is there a way to generate the XML without those extra spaces? Basically, I want to be able to trim them before I send them to the xml serializer, but the problem is that i have no control over the whole casting thing ( oracle magic happening that automatically creates all the xmlelements needed, etc.)
Somehow, when the xml engine steps over the collection and accesses the fields, somehow, i need a trim there. Maybe some kind of accesor for the fields in the type can be declared so that the xml engine uses it instead of the field itself directly. The accesor would then return trim(field). Sorry for this mumbo jumbo gibberish but I want to be as clear as possible.

Hi.
Check this:
drop type msm force;
drop type list_msm force;
create type msm as object(
nume VARchar2(20)     --VARCHAR2 NOT CHAR
create type list_msm as table of msm;
create table produse
den char(20)
INSERT INTO produse VALUES('Prod.1');
INSERT INTO produse VALUES('Prod.2');
INSERT INTO produse VALUES('Prod.3');
COMMIT;
select xmlserialize (document xmlelement("values",
cast(multiset(
select trim(p.den) from produse p) as list_msm
) as clob indent size=2
) as "xml"
from dual;
<values>
<LIST_MSM>
    <MSM>
      <NUME>Prod.1</NUME>
    </MSM>
    <MSM>
      <NUME>Prod.2</NUME>
    </MSM>
    <MSM>
      <NUME>Prod.3</NUME>
    </MSM>
</LIST_MSM>
</values>Hope this helps.

Option to remove the namespace from generated XML

What option can I use to NOT have the namespace name in my generated XML from XMLBean library?
In the XML output given below I do not want to have bean: namespace in my XML, but i'll still like to continue to use the namespace in my schema as that organizes my my beans in a proper package

How to generate XML from EBusiness suite ARXSGPO

Could someone tell me how I can generate XML from the EBusiness Suite Accounts Receivable report ARXSGPO.rdf I understand this report is called by a C program. I have tried changing the concurrent request to output format to XML the result does not resemble XML. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can generate XML from the ARXSGPO report?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark
the next release of XMLP will have last page only support. The problem is that at the template layer you do not know how many lines are going to fit on the page, so you never know what is going to be the last page. The only way around it for now is to specify the number of lines to a page and then check when all the lines have been rendered and then render the remit portion.
I have a sample invoice that does the same, drop me a mail, you can work out the email from my name and the fact I work for XMLP Im sure.

Generating XML from database

I'm a total newbie in XML DB and need advice on generating XML from database.
The situation is the following: there is a legacy web application which uses an XML document as a configuration file. This document conforms to some well-defined schema. For instance:
<config>
     <title value="TITLE" />
     <subtitle value="SUBTITLE" />
     <style url="default.css" />
     <widgets>
          <widget id="1" opened="true" />
          <widget id="2" opened="false" />
     </widgets>
</config>
It contains portions of static data which are common for all users as well as dynamic personal data.
Dynamic data comes from two sources:
1) security considerations (for instance, not all widgets are available for some users) - thus the "master" configuration content must be filtered, but not otherwise modified;
2) user preferences (for instance, user can set widget2 to be opened by default) - thus values of some attributes must be different for each user. When the user saves her preferences, the entire document with new values is posted back to server.
We want to try to store user preferences, apply security and generate personalized configuration documents using XML DB.
So we need advice on storage models and generation procedures - which should be more efficient and easy to support or extend.
Please note, that there is no requirement to actually store data as XML.
Thanks in advance!
P.S.: Sorry for the incomplete initial post.

How to remove prefix namespace in Xml from XmlBean

I am trying to generate XML from XML Bean but i am getting namespace prefix in all my xml elements.
For example
<abc:Cutomer xmlns:abc="http://www.xyz.com/pqr>
<abc:Name>
I don't have this namespace prefix in my XSD (imported in Weblogic workshop).
Is there any way that I can remove this prefix from my xml elements?
Also, I don't need xml namespace in my xml string.
Is there any way that I can generate xml without having namespace?

DataProcessor generating XML containing special ampersand, equals sign etc

Hi,
Using 10.1.3.3.3
I am using the BIP API's to generate reports for an application, but have a problem where the DataProcessor is generating XML containing ampersands and equal signs '&', '=' from the database.
The characters are causing the FOProcessor to throw and exception when reading the generated XML:
oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Expected name instead of .
08/08/06 12:12:22 at oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLError.flushErrors1(XMLError.java:320)
If I remove the '&' and '=' the PDF is generated successfully.
It is not pratical to convert these characters as part of the queries (40+ tables times x columns).
Is there anything I can put in the data template or config to get it to properly escape these characters when generating in the XML data?
Apologies if this has been answered in another thread.
Brenden

You must replace '&' by &
'=' work fine.
look here for additional character encoding

EBS-R12 Generate XML (with data) from Embedded Data Definition

Hi
I'm new to running XMLP/BIP in EBS.
I have found the extensive set of data definitions and templates in EBS and they work great out of the box.
I, however, need to make template modifications.
To this end, a correctly structured XML data template - containing all the data fields - is needed for loading into the template-builder in Word.
If for example I take the embedded R12 data definition - XLAJELINESRPT.xml - for Posted Payable Invoices, and load it into the template builder, it provides the structure of the data template and not the structure of the output XML data.
I have tried several ways to run the Data definition through XMLP using the concurrent manager attempting to intercept the generated XML (with data) but it either completes the process and uses the linked output template - producing the PDF - or other output - or if I remove the (output template altogether) it fails with an error.
Maybe I'm missing an obvious step, but there has to be a way of taking the very comprehensive Data Definitions embedded in R12 EBS and using them in custom report templates.
If I've totally missed the point, please give me the steps to follow.
Many thaks in anticipation.
Mike MacMurray

HI Mike,
You cannot load your Data Template into the MS Word Template Builder plugin, as it cannot be run to generate XML this way.
You have two options to get the data from an XML Publisher Report run as a concurrent program in EBS.
1) Using the XML Publisher Administrator responsibility, set an end date for both the Data Defintion and Template Definitions associated with the XLAJELINESRPT report.
2) Leave the concurrent program, Data Defintions and Template Definitions exactly as they are and run the report. Once the report has completed, select the Concurrent Request, click "Diagnostics" then click "View XML". This will open the XML in a new browser window. You can then right click, View Source and then save this document locally.
You can then load this XML into the MS Word Template Builder and start building your template.
I hope this helps.

Cj

Problem with XML import MDM 7.1 - Can't generate Xml Schema

Hi All,
When I try to open an XML file using Import manager, I'm getting some errors, as detailed below. I mention that I'm using MDM 7.1.
The first error I received was the following:
"Can't open C:/Program files/SAP MDM 7.1/Import Manager/XSD.exe". I copied the file xsd.exe in the Import Manager folder, as suggest here:
Re: Import Manager Error.
Afterwards, I received a new error:
"Can't generate Xml Schema for: C:/Program files/SAP MDM 7.1/Import Manager/filename.xml"
If anyone has faced the same problem - and solved it -, could you please help me find the reason for this behaviour?
Regards,
Laura

Hi Laura,
The error message "Can't generate Xml Schema" might be related to DTD. the XML file has a directive for loading DTD.
MDM doesnot support DTDs.
Remove the DTD line and make sure there is only one root element in the XML file and try again.
Hope this helps,

Generate xml source file for Oracle Order Capture Print Quote

Hi,
I am new to xml and need to work on creating templates for Print Quote.
I am trying to generate the xml source file for which I enabled the report in system administrator and set the output to XML and assigned to Quoting Reports responsiblity. I then assigned XML Report Publisher to the same responsiblity.
I ran the report (Print Quote) and then I am trying to run the XML Report Publisher but I cannot get the request id in the list of values.
I am able to generate xml source file for other reports like Printed Purchase Order etc.,
The view output for the (Print Quote) report is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- 
<ASOPQTER />
How do I get the xml source file? Or are there seeded templates that I can use to create more templates? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ravi

Hi, I am in the same position - did this issue ever ger resolved by anyone. I have done a few XMLP reports successfully now using the Word add-in, but customising the Quote output differs from other standard reports.
If you look at the data definition for Quote it is a 'dummy' definition and has no XML file attached. Does anyone know how I can get the XML format for the report output?
Also the template uses XSL-FO ?!?!?! rather than RTF - not sure how to work with this, the Oracle docs are not very helpful in this regard either.
Has anyone successfully managed to customise the Quote print report? Many thanks,
Roger

Problem with generating xml and nested cursor (ora-600)

The problem is the second cursor (t_feature_master).
I want to generate this:

If i execute the select-statement in sql-plus, then I get the next result.

I use Oracle 8.1.7.4 with Oracle XDK v9.2.0.5.0.
Is this a bug and do somebody know a workaround?

Very simple...Drop all type objects and nested tables and create them again. You will get no error. I'll explain the reason later.

How to generate XML from relational data : PL/SQL or Java

I'm new to Oracle XML and would appreciate some advice. I've been asked to generate XML documents from data stored in relational tables. The XML documents must be validated against a DTD. We will probably want to store the XML in the database.
I've seen a PL/SQL based approach as follows :
1.Mimic the structure of the DTD using SQL object types 2.Assign the relational data to the object type using PL/SQL as required
3.Use the SYS_XMLGEN package to render the required XML documents from the SQL objects
However, creating the object types seems to be quite time consuming (step 1 above) for anything other than the simplest of XML documents.
I've also seen that there is the Java based approach, namely :
1. Use the XML generator to build Java classes based on a DTD.
2. Use these classes to build the required XML
On the face of it, the Java based approach seems simpler. However, I'm not that familiar with Java.
Which is the best way to proceed ? Is the PL/SQL based approach worth pursuing or should I bite the bullet and brush up my Java ?
Is it possible to use a combination of PL/SQL and Java to populate the dtd generated java classes (step 2 of the Java approach) to reduce my learning curve ?
Thanks in advance

To help answer your questions:
1) Now, in 9iR2, you can use SQL/XML as another choice.
2) You can also use XSU to generate the XML and use XSLT to transform it to a desired format instead of using object views if possible.
3) XDK provide Class generator support to populate XML data to Java classes.

Easiest and/or best methods for generating XML output (not with a report)

Hi, several of our EBS customers (11.5.10) are converting their PDF reports to use XML/BI publisher to produce output. The data stream comes from a report that generates the XML output, and then the XML template is applied. This works great ... no problems, etc. From what I have read, however, Oracle intends to treat the traditional Forms and Reports Developers as legacy tools (although still supporting them, of course).
My question is if I wanted to ditch using Reports to generate XML output, what, in your opinion or in your current usage, is the easiest way of getting this data? In Reports, the data modeler is excellent in providing a method to write your queries, split them into different repeating groups, write formula and summary columns, link multiple queries, etc, etc. If one were to become Reports Developer free, what comparable tools are available to take its place? I would expect this tool to handle a mix of GUI and coding like the Reports data modeler. Please note that I'm not looking for an EBS-specific solution -- say for a custom application using regular Oracle 10g DB and iAS, with BI Publisher for reporting.
Thanks for your feedback,
Ryan

What I'm looking for is to not use Oracle Reports to generate the XML data output since Oracle's statement of direction is pushing BI Publisher rather than Oracle Reports as the preferred tool for reporting. That said, the data modeler in Reports provides a very flexible tool to construct and link multiple queries and to manipulate the queries into several levels of a master/detail relationship. Further, the mix of GUI and coding makes setting up the data model a lot more efficient. What I'm looking for (and I don't know if anything exists) is something comparable that can be used to generate XML output from the DB -- the idea being that I wouldn't use legacy tools, like Reports, for this task. I hope that is clearer.
Really, another way of answering my question is, aside from Reports and the APIs mentioned so far, what are my fellow developers using, if anything, to extract XML data in a way that handles the features i list above?
