Reversing placement of XML without using Undo

I lay out XML by importing it into the structure pane and then dragging and dropping elements onto frames in my layout.
If I drop an element in the wrong frame I can undo this using Undo.
However, if I have done some work on the layout since the incorrect placement, how do I remove the XML from the frame without also removing it from the Structure Bar?
Selecting Untag Frame or Untag element destroys the element in the structure bar.
What I want to do is 'un-place' the content (so the blue diamond on the element in the structure pane disappears, but the element itself remains).
Has anyone worked this out?
Many thanks!

None really, if you don't need to walk the tree and have random access. Some find it hard to read / maintain, but I don't mind it. If you are just outputting to XSLT, what you are doing will work fine.

How to parse an XMl without using prefix in the namespace and elements?

Hi
The following is a sample of the xml that I need to parse.
Without the prefix in the namespace section I am getting an error but when i just put in the prefix it works fine. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
I think i need to change something in the parser set up...may be the somewhere in the bolded lines....but i am clueless...

Errors thrown by Oracle always show a line number (even if it points to the FOR loop that the error occurred within). When you run it, what is the error stack that is being returned. Copy and paste that, don't summarize it.
If you are still uncertain, add a final
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
     dbms_output.put_line(DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE);to have it written out where your normal dbms_output goes. This is your friend in 10g for tracking down errors.
"But as soon as i add a prefix in the header everything works fine."
Is that header in the sample XML you provided? Regardless what are you adding? Your data is a clob so you can always tweak it before converting it to a DOMDocument just by doing simple string manipulation.
Since you are in 10g, you should be using dbms_xmldom instead of xmldom. I think xmldom is just a synonym for dbms_xmldom though. Review the dbms_xmldom documentation. You can go straight from a clob to a DOMDocument via DBMS_XMLDOM.NEWDOMDOCUMENT. You can also parse the document completely using dbms_xmldom calls instead of xslprocessor calls.
Other random things to evaluate:
Consider turning
         FOR each_FC IN t_tab_FC.first .. t_tab_FC.last LOOP
            INSERT INTO FileControl
into a
         FORALL i IN t_tab_FC.first .. t_tab_FC.last LOOP
            INSERT INTO FileControl
             ...Better performance because one two context switches (PL/SQL -> SQL -> PL/SQL) instead of 2*n switches.
I like this construct better
   TYPE tab_type IS TABLE OF FileControl%ROWTYPE INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
   t_tab_FC tab_type := tab_type;because then you don't have to       t_tab_FC.extend;you can just do something like     index := 1;
     LOOP
        t_tab_FC(index).creation_date := <whatever>;
        index := index + 1;
     END LOOPYou also have the option of parsing your XML as a XMLType, including purely in SQL, but you can research that avenue at a later date.
Forgot to mention, wrap any code examples in [ pre ] [ pre ] (without the spaces) to retain your formatting.

Converting into XML without using DOM

Hi there,
I need to generate a XML file on the fly, given a HashMap. It will be used later to feed into XSLT parser.
Instead of using DOM parser which is memory intensive, I am generating the XML by appending the necessary into a String. For eg:
StringBuffer st = new StringBuffer();
sb.append("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>");
sb.append( "\n" );
sb.append("<"+ transaction.getCode() + ">");
...........................so on
I tried to gain resources in the book, but every example will actually use DOM to build a XML file.
I am just thinking what is the repercussion if i do not use DOM.
Could anyone please advice.
Thanks.

None really, if you don't need to walk the tree and have random access. Some find it hard to read / maintain, but I don't mind it. If you are just outputting to XSLT, what you are doing will work fine.

Receive confirmations / in XML without using SUS

Dear Expert,
We look for solution that gets inbound processing from supplier for receipt confirmation in SRM.
We donu2019t use SUS so we need a proposal for how to receive confirmations in XML format in SRM in order to file that came from our supplier (external system).
Thanks,
Isiaki

Dear Masa,
Thanks,
We consider to gets inbound processing of shipping notification.
I understand that the shipping notification input is against PO. Did I understand it correctly? and can we update the quantities that have in the shipping notification in the PO.
For example:
We have ordered 3 from item one,
But we got only 2 from the supplier and that is what sent in the shipping notification.
Thanks

Xml report output in excel format without using options tab in EBS

How to get xml publisher report output in excel format without using options tab in EBS?
I am getting XML Publisher report output in excel format by using options tab while submitting the concurrent request .
But i want to get excel output automatically.
Can anyone give idea to get XML publisher Report output in excel without selecting options tab.
Thanks in advance
Sandeep V

Hey Sandeep,
I am working on a similar format for a report and if possible can you please give me some guidelines. I have initially created reports using XML Publisher, but for those , the output preview format was PDF. So, if I select the preview format as EXCEL will it give me output in Excel and for this to happen, how do I define the rtf template. I believe the working will be same as for PDF, create a rdf report, get output in XML and apply the template to get the data in Excel or there is something different to this.
Thanks,
Sunil

CREATE XML PUBLISHER REPORT WITHOUT USING RDF

Hi Every one ,
Can anybody share his/her expertise on following issue ?
"How to create XML Publisher Report without using RDF?"
Your help is appreciated.

Hi Swapnesh
YOu do not need to create the XDODTEXE, its seeded for you. You need to do the following:
1. Create and test the data template
2. Load the data template to the template manager against a data definition
3. Create a concurrent program definition that uses the XDODTEXE as its executable
4. Create parameters (if required) for the CP and DT that match in name
You're done
Regards

XML Publisher (now BI Publisher) reports without Using RDF

Hi All,
We am trying to generate XML Publisher (now BI Publisher) reports from Oracle EBS reports without Using RDF.
We have generated the required report using RDF however as we are trying to move away from RDF, we are looking for this type of solution (i.e without RDF). We simply want to use SQL query for XML output.
I tried to generate XML output from a concurrent program which is a SQL query however the output doesn't come out in proper XML format.
I am sure this can be done through XML publisher using pl/sql procedure. By using a procedure and using the function DBMS_XMLGEN.getxml to generate the output in XML format & storing it in a variable declared as CLOB type. The reports are running fine smaller result set but its giving error "Value or Numeric Error' for larger resul set. Following is the way i am using the function:
select DBMS_XMLGEN.GETXML('select * from dual') into result from dual;
Where result is declared as CLOB Type.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks.

I used a different approach.
I registered a concurrent program with executable as XDODTEXE and output as XML.
I added a XML data definition (which contains my SQL query) on XML Publsiher admin and Registerd a template against that XML data definition.
This solved my problem.
Thanks all.

View XML files in Firefox without using source view

Whenever I open an XML file in Firefox, the tags are all stripped off and I see just plain text like this [[http://i.imgur.com/pBhUM.png|XML File 1 in Firefox]]. The same file displays in Internet Explorer like this [[http://i.imgur.com/CT8Zb.png|XML File 1 in Internet Explorer]]
For an average user, this is the preferred view, as he can see the text content of the XML file without worrying about the tags in the document. For other more advanced users like myself, this is very inconvenient.
There are even some cases where Firefox does not display anything because all the tags are stripped off like in this case
[[http://i.imgur.com/hAkBd.png|XML File 2 in Firefox]]
here is the same file in Internet Explorer [[http://i.imgur.com/juOzs.png|XML File 2 in Internet Explorer]].
The workaround I use now is to view the file's source so that I get to see everything. I must say, however, that this is very inconvenient. If the user does not specify any style sheet for formatting the XML file, I believe the file should be left as-is; it should not be touched.
Kindly review this so we can confidently use Firefox as our default browser without having to switch to IE from time to time.

'''@cor-el'''
I am aware of the solution you're proposing. I even stated it as the workaround I use currently.
My point is that the browser should have an option to display the raw XML without stripping off all the tags just like Internet Explorer or even Chrome (see attached image).

Can I load xml file from SWC without using @embed

I'm developing a mobile application in which I need to load xml files from File.applicationDirectory. This works great if the xml files are part of the main application swf. But I would like to move these xml files into a SWC so they could be shared across multiple applications.
Using FlashBuilder 4.5, when a SWC is built, I can specify files to embed in the library that are not assets (Assets Tab of Flex Library Build Path). For various design reasons, I do NOT want to embed the xml files via @embed.
When the swc is built and I open it up using a zip utility, I see the xml files in there just fine. So they are being bundled with the SWC. But how can I load these files in my main application that does not involve using @embed? When the main application is built, the swc setting for link type is "merged into code".
I wouldn't expect the application to automatically pull out the xml files from the swc and place them in the File.applicationDirectory on the mobile device. I've tried loading from there just in case but file.exists is false (as expected).
I've searched the web (and continue to do so) and all the answers seem to be to use @embed. Is there another way?
Randy

It's actually a lot easier than you think.
Just reference the file like any'ol URL using a path relative to the SWC's src directory.
So if you include the file "assets/xml/some.xml", just use that same string like you would any remote resource.
For example:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader( new URLRequest("assets/xml/some.xml"));
I believe it would also work like this "/assets/xml/some.xml", but I prefer relative paths so the link doesnt break if moved out of the SWC...

Insert XML file into Relational database model without using XMLTYPE tables

Dear all,
How can I store a known complex XML file into an existing relational database WITHOUT using xmltypes in the database ?
I read the article on DBMS_XMLSTORE. DBMS_XMLSTORE indeed partially bridges the gap between XML and RDBMS to a certain extent, namely for simply structured XML (canonical structure) and simple tables.
However, when the XML structure will become arbitrary and rapidly evolving, surely there must be a way to map XML to a relational model more flexibly.
We work in a java/Oracle10 environment that receives very large XML documents from an independent data management source. These files comply with an XML schema. That is all we know. Still, all these data must be inserted/updated daily in an existing relational model. Quite an assignment isn't it ?
The database does and will not contain XMLTYPES, only plain RDBMS tables.
Are you aware of a framework/product or tool to do what DBMS_XMLSTORE does but with any format of XML file ? If not, I am doomed.
Constraints : Input via XML files defined by third party
Storage : relational database model with hundreds of tables and thousands of existing queries that can not be touched. The model must not be altered.
Target : get this XML into the database on a daily basis via an automated process.
Cheers.
Luc.

Luc,
your Doomed !
If you would try something like DBMS_XMLSTORE, you probably would be into serious performance problems in your case, very fast, and it would be very difficult to manage.
If you would use a little bit of XMLType stuff, you would be able to shred the data into the relational model very fast and controlable. Take it from me, I am one of those old geezers like Mr. Tom Kyte way beyond 40 years (still joking). No seriously. I started out as a classical PL/SQL, Forms Guy that switched after two years to become a "DBA 1.0" and Mr Codd and Mr Date were for years my biggest hero's. I have the utmost respect for Mr. Tom Kyte for all his efforts for bringing the concepts manual into the development world. Just to name some off the names that influenced me. But you will have to work with UNSTRUCTURED data (as Mr Date would call it). 80% of the data out there exists off it. Stuff like XMLTABLE and XML VIEWs bridge the gap between that unstructured world and the relational world. It is very doable to drag and drop an XML file into the XMLDB database into a XMLtype table and or for instance via FTP. From that point on it is in the database. From there you could move into relational tables via XMLTABLE methods or XML Views.
You could see the described method as a filtering option so XML can be transformed into relational data. If you don't want any XML in your current database, then create an small Oracle database with XML DB installed (if doable 11.1.0.7 regarding the best performance --> all the new fast optimizer stuff etc). Use that database as a staging area that does all the XML shredding for you into relational components and ship the end result via database links and or materialized views or other probably known methodes into your relational database that isn't allowed to have XMLType.
This way you would keep your realtional Oracle database clean and have the Oracle XML DB staging database do all the filtering and shredding into relational components.
Throwing the XML DB option out off the window beforehand would be like replacing your Mercedes with a bicycle. With both you will be able to travel the distance from Paris to Rome, but it will take you a hell of lot longer.

What is the best way to find a file on the servers disk without using web.xml?

          What is the best way to find a file on the servers disk without using web.xml?
          I want to find a configuration file not contained within the war file I have
          created. Is there a way to pass information into the ServletContext with out
          rebuilding the ear or war files? Tomcat 4.0 can do this in its server configuration
          files. Does BEA have the equivalent?
          Regards,

You can specify the path to the file as a system property
          eg
          java -Dconfig.file.location=./mydirecotry/myfile.txt com.test.MyApp

I am wondering if there is a way to validate XML file without using .......

I am wondering if there is a way to validate XML file without using the <!DOCTYPE... but pass in the location of the schema/DTD file as a parameter to a validating method?
thanks

None that I know of. The only thing close is to use the EntityResolver interface where you can modify the location of the DTD file before it's being loaded and parsed, but that requires a <!DOCTYPE ...> in the XML file.
Good luck.
