Report using an XML Source

We have developed some servlets which will generate XML output under a given schema depending on the parameters passed to them.
After reading about the XML pluggable data source we where wondering if it is possible to set the XML source of the report to point to our servlets as the source of the XML stream. Is it possible to point to
http://myserver.com/myapp/myservlet as the source for the XML Document used in the report.
We need to dynamically pass parameters to this servlet in order to generate the required XML document... is it possible to pass this parameters to the report, so it could access the servlet with them? like
http://myserver.com/myapp/myservlet?docid=10
Doing so will let us re-use our XML servlets as sources for our reports avoiding separate connections and processes in the DB. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Fedro

Using SSIS XML Source failing / renaming a node element

hello
I have tried to use SQL Server SSIS XML Source reader to load a file from one of our data providers to SQL Server however the reader fails with the following error:
The XML Muni File was unable to process the XML data. The element "default_status" cannot contain a child element. Content model is text only.
it seems that for some reason the reader fails to identify when the node and its child here labeled "default_status" have the same nomenclature.
I am reaching out to anyone with a solution for this - or a way to write an SQL XML script that renames the children of that node to "default_status_id" for example. then we can use the out of the box reader to load the file.
any ideas suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
eddy
eddy.a

you dont need to use SSIS here
you can simply use this
declare @x xml='<instrument_details>
<default_status>
<default_status>13</default_status>
<default_status_date>2013-12-24</default_status_date>
</default_status>
<default_status>
<default_status>2</default_status>
<default_status_date>2014-04-08</default_status_date>
</default_status>
<maturity_details>
<maturity_amount>10650000.0000000</maturity_amount>
</maturity_details>
<denomination_amounts>
<min_denom_amount>5000.000000</min_denom_amount>
</denomination_amounts>
</instrument_details>'
select t.u.value('(maturity_details/maturity_amount)[1]','decimal(10,2)'),
t.u.value('(denomination_amounts/min_denom_amount)[1]','decimal(10,2)'),
m.n.value('default_status[1]','int'),
m.n.value('default_status_date[1]','datetime')
from @x.nodes('/instrument_details') t(u)
cross apply u.nodes('default_status')m(n)

UCCX 10 CUIC Custom Report (using external data source)

Hi.
We have a customer where we are storing information in an external data source. We would like to built a report and import that report into their UCCX CUIC System in order for the customer to have the new report along side with the UCCX built-in reports. We need to add the external data source to CUIC but I'm not sure if the strip CUIC version of UCCX can allow that. Is that possible?
I know that with CUIC Premium we can add third party data sources into the CUIC. The Premium CUIC NFR allows that and we can create the report but for it to work in UCCX we need to add the external data source to CUIC.
What are my options? If any?
Thanks in advanced,
-Jose

Hi Jose,
You can basically build custom reports on a standalone CUIC server and import them to the CUIC on UCCX.
But I am not sure if this datasource is continuously polling information from the DB and giving it to the report and if this is possible.
Please refer to the link below for creating the custom reports on CUIC in UCCX:

Dynamically change the XML source of a report

I have seen that it is possible to assign an URL as the source for an XML source. But, how could I change this URL dynamically at run time? is it possible to add parameters to the url in the form of:
http://myserver/myapp/myjsp.jsp?myparameter=[some dynamic value}
so that calling the report will let me assign a value to the parameter?
Or at least, is there a way to send the URL the Report will use upon report invocation?
Thanks,
Fedro

Fedro,
The naswer is the same as you previous question:
Report using an XML Source
But if you want to create a complete URL be sure that you have a valid default value for the parameter.

Creating XML report using PL/SQL Stored Procedure

Hi Friends,
I am working on an xml report with the xml source as PL/SQL Stored Procedure.
I am referring the exercise shown in the following link to understand the process:
   http://orclapp.blogspot.com/2012/02/developing-xml-publisher-report-using.html
In the example shown in the above link I could not understand the following:
1) In the following procedure, the out parameter 'retcode' is not used at all.
   What is the importance of this parameter.
    PROCEDURE REPORT (errbuf OUT VARCHAR2, retcode OUT VARCHAR2, p_product_id   IN     NUMBER)
2) After the xml data is prepared and put to 'l_result' Clob variable, the following
    Loop is executed. I am not able to appreciate why the following loop is required.
     LOOP
         EXIT WHEN l_length = l_retrieved;
         IF (l_length - l_retrieved) < 32000
         THEN
            SELECT SUBSTR (l_result, l_retrieved + 1) INTO l_xmlstr FROM DUAL;
            l_retrieved := l_length;
            fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, l_xmlstr);
         ELSE
            SELECT SUBSTR (l_result, l_retrieved + 1, l_offset)
              INTO l_xmlstr
              FROM DUAL;
            l_retrieved := l_retrieved + l_offset;
            fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, l_xmlstr);
         END IF;
     END LOOP;
3) In the example it is not explained how the concurrent program gets the xml data?
   I assume it is written to a file using the following line of code:
    fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, l_xmlstr);
   I would appreciate if anyone can throw some light into my above queries so that I can understand the process clearly.
Thanks & Regards

Hi 32000 in the code is a 'safe' size smaller than the max available 32767, the loops purpose is to move through the entire thing in chunks that will be manageable in the limits of the data type.
Btw; if you are in Oracle e-business suite then you can also use Oracle reports very simply to create XML output.
If you have reports developer all you need to do is put raw sql (without any 'artifice' to create XML) in the report SQL and then set the reports output to XML in the program definition in Oracle e-business.
best regards,
Robert.

10g Reports issue with XML Data Source

Hi,
Has anybody ever encountered an issue with Oracle 10g report using an XML as the data source? What happens is, some of the values in the XML are printed to the wrong column.
One of the elements in our XML file is a complex type with 10 elements under it. The first 5 are picked up properly, but the last 6 are not. Elements #6 to #9 has a minimum occurence of 0. What happens is when element #6 is present, but #7 is, the value for element #7 is passed on to element #6.
The XSD and XSL files are both valid since the reports were working when we were still using 9i. There is no hidden logic in the report which might cause this issue to come up, i.e., the report just picks up the values from the XML and prints it to the appropriate columns.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Any examples of a data template using multiple data sources?

I'm looking for an example report using multiple data sources. I've seen one where they do a master/detail but I'm just looking to combine results in sorted order (sorted across all data sources). The master/detail used a bind variable to link the two defined queries, I'm thinking what I want won't have that, so I'm lost on how to make that happen. I have reports using multiple sql queries and there is a way in the data source pulldown to tell it to combine the data sources. It appears to be a more manual process with data templates, if it's even possible.
Any pointers/links would be appreciated.
Gaff

Hi Vetsrini :
That's just it. Mine is simpler than that. There is no master/detail relationship between the two queries. I have the same exact query that I run in two databases and I want to merge the results (ordered, by, say eventTime) in one report. So I think my results are going to be two separate groups (one for each data source) which I'll have to let BI merge vis XSLT or whatever it uses. That's fine for small result sets but for larger ones, it would be nice if the database did the sorting/merging.

SSIS "XML Source Adapter" can't make XSD location an expression

I am using the "XML Source Adapter" in an SSIS package.
I notice that although you can specify the XML filename as an expression, the XSD appears to have to be a fixed file path.
This is a problem for me since the path for the XSD is different in my development than it will be in production (in production it's on drive E:, which I don't have).
I'd like to have the file location specified in the config file, but since I can't make it an expression how can I do that?
Also, since they don't have Connection Managers I can't switch DelayValidation on.
Thanks.

Hi John,
Here is my pevious post
I have about 400 xml files with me and all this data has to be loaded in about 30 tables, Basically have 30 different varities of xml files and matching 30 xsd files. We were trying to load all this using "Data Flow Task" and "XML Source". Using
FOR Each Loop passing appropriate XML File and XSD to Data Flow task and load it in one shot. Rather than having 30 different Data Flow tasks. Is there any other way, we can accomplish this task using a loop and dynamically passing the different files.
You have suggested to follow the URL
There's some example code here for package generation here:
http://sqlsrvintegrationsrv.codeplex.com/releases/view/17647
Everywhere I see, they are suggesting to use Flat File or Excel data examples. Do you have any posting that can help me to use XML file as a dynamic input file for XML Source.
If anyone has any code samples how we can use XML files as dynamic source for XML Source task to import data into SQL Sever, that would be really appreciated.
Thanks

XML Source Duplicate _id fields in output

I have a vendor supplied XML File. I try and load the file using the XML source in SSIS 2012. The file has a vendor supplied XSD file. When I look at the output I see 2 _id fields with the same name.
One appears to be an id in the file. the other appears to be generated by SSIS. I have tried to use the advanced editor to change the name but this causes errors.

True it appears to be different case; however a mapping error occurs at runtime

Reporting: using operators with relative selection

Dear all,
i am facing an problem when trying to create a certain report.
The requirement is to gather all opportunities for which the sales phase has started more than 1 month ago.
Phase start date is a characteristic you can use using data sources for opportunity header.
However, to select on phase start date (an any other type of date characteristic) you can only use operators (is, is less than, is greater than, ...) with a fixed date (for example: is less than 01.03.2015) or you can use a relative selection (last week, last month, last 4 days, ...).
I need to be able to achieve the following: "phase start date" "is less than" "last month"
Is there a way we can do this?
Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
You should design the new reporting using existing data source 'OPPORTUNITY HEADER'.
Step 1. Define report and data source
Step 2. Select Key Figures
Step 3. Select Characteristics
Step 4. Characteristics Properties : In this step you select Phase start date and make the value selection as 'FIXED VALUE SELECTION', in fixed value selection click on more option button ( +-> sign) now this will give the option for relative selection.
Step 5, 6 and 7 as standard steps as you have to follow them.
I have attach the screenshot of Phase start date, just follow as defined in the screenshot:
This will the issue that you have.

XML source, does give ouputs, processes well, but no data

I'm using an XML Source adapater on top of a 10GB file. I've configured it using an XSD. All of this works well as I am able to select the several output possibilities.
When running the package no error appears, but the odd things is, although having tried this over several outputs, there is no data available when the package finishes. It looks like the XML is inert.
Did somebody experience this before? the outputs selected certainly contain data.

I think you did not provide enough concrete information.
But I suspect the size you use to develop the package is too much.
Enable logging, trim the file to a few lines, if does not work, give as sample data.
Another thing is I am not sure what you connected the XML source to, I suspect you did not at all thus you see nothing.

How to create a report using XML data source from Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
Iu2019m having Crystal Report Designer XI R2 SP4. Iu2019m trying to create a report using XML data source stored on disk. This is a customer order report and the xml is structured in such a way that it has an order details header part (master) and then it has several order lines (detail). One order line can have several order line characteristics (detail-detail). So what I need to know is now I can design this layout from the designer. If this was done using views I can do it with sub-reports but using xml data this seems to be different. Can you help me to design this layout? I have included the xml and xsd as well.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Sourashree,
Thank you for the response and ideas you have given me so far. I can get the fetch the data from the data source without any problem. That is I do the following,
1.     New Report
2.     From Create New Connection-> XML
3.     Provide the u201CLocal XML Fileu201D and have u201CSpecify Schema Fileu201D checked -> Next
4.     Provide the u201CLocal Schema Fileu201D -> Finish
Then I can see the following under XML
+ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
        CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
And from here if I add the following three I can get all the fields I need to the report
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
Then I come to the Linking section. Here I canu2019t link anything. There is a common field called u201CInternal_IDu201D but I canu2019t link using it. So I get a message when I click Next. From here I add all the fields.
For this point onwards only I need help. How do I group, add fields and design the layout so I can get an report output as follows.

How can I achieve this kind of a layout using the give xml and xsd? Should I use grouping if so how should I do the grouping?
I have included the full xml and xsd in the first mail I posted but I canu2019t see it now. I can include that again if you want.

Crystal reports using xml at run time??

Post Author: avnkkishore
CA Forum: General
Hi,
I have very simple requirement.
I would like to create a crystal
report using XML. This
XML file will be decided at run time
(not at design time).
Hence i have added a crystal report viewer control to my windows form and did
not choose any data source (i left it blank currently). Now i am trying to load
XML file with the following simple code.
            PropertyBag
crLogOnDetails = new PropertyBag();
crLogOnDetails["Local XML File"] = @"C:\Hosts.xml";
crLogOnDetails["Local Schema File"] = @"C:\Hosts.xsd";
ConnectionInfo conn = new ConnectionInfo();
conn.Attributes = crLogOnDetails;
            // create
"Host" table
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table tbl;
            tbl = new
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table();
            tbl.Name =
"Host";
tbl.ConnectionInfo = conn;
rcDoc.DatabaseController.AddTable(tbl, null);
I am getting exception exactly at the above line (i.e. when adding table to
Database Controller) saying "COMException was unhandled" with error code
0x80004005 Unspecified error.
Can any one please help me regarding how to resolve this.
Thanks in advance,
Kishore

I am using VB6 as the front end and Microsoft Access to hold the data and Crystal Reports 8.5. I have a staff name parameter that I want the user to select which staff name to print the report. If there is
a new staff the name is not in the list of parameters.  How do I add to the parameter list at run time from the staff table?
Hi,
I am afraid that these forums don't support VB6, you could refer to this thread:

You could consider posting this issue in these forums below:
These forums do not support Visual Basic 6, however there are many third-party support sites that do. If you have a VB6-related question please visit these popular forums:

Report using two different data sources won't work.

I'm trying to build a report that shows information from a production table and an archive table.
Tables are in different databases, which are defined as their own Data Sources in Publisher.
Two data sets containing the same query but using different Data Sources are defined in the Data Model.
When selecting option 'Concatenated SQL Data Source' the report never completes.
If any of the two Data Sets is selected as the Main Data Set, the report shows information related to that source only.
Any hints on how to make this work would be appreciated.
Thanks.

More details on this issue:
The production database has a synonym pointing to the archive database. I build a query using a UNION ALL statement linking both tables.
For the same set of parameters, this query completes in a couple of minutes outside BI Publisher, but never ends (I cancel after an hour) inside Publisher.
Is there any special considerations for the use of synonyms inside Publisher?
