Select element attribute value

For the following XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<rowset extract_id="54321">
<candidate>
...Is there a way to select or get the attribute value? This will be in the process of uploading data from a text file to the database (10g R2) in a 6i Oracle Form using text_io.get_line.
Thank you.

extractValue(xml,'/rowset/@id')

Changing Element Attribute Values

I spent far to long trying to figure out how to change an element attribute value without the FDK's SetAttributes function, so I thought I'd spare someone else the time.
Basically, you still get the attributes using the GetAttributes() function, but now you just set the beg.child.Attributes property to the updated attribute value.
//starting with a selected element
elemSelect=app.ActiveDoc.ElementSelection
//get the current attributes
var childattributes =elemSelect.beg.child.GetAttributes()
//find the attribute and value you want to change, and change it to a new value.
childattributes[0].values[0] = "New_Value"
//now assign the edited attributes to the selected element.
elemSelect.beg.child.Attributes=childattributes
Depending on how you selected the element, I assume you could do the above with beg.parent as well, but it wasn't something I needed to consider.

Thanks for this--you've likely saved me a headache.
While I hadn't hit this yet, it does apply to several of the projects on my to-do list. Based on the info in the OMV, I would have expected to be able to simply use a statement like myElement.Attributes[i].value[i] = "New_Value" which, as I'm sure you discovered, has no apparent effect at all.
The other thing I noticed in my quick testing is that defining your attributes variable by using the method (x = myElement.GetAttributes()) or by referenceing the Attributes property (x = myElement.Attributes) seem to be functionally equivalent.

Selections on attribute values in BPS

Hello,
I have a issue regarding the selection on attributes values in BPS (data slices, functions).
If I make a restriction on an existing attribute value of an infooject in a data slice or std function (not FOX nor Exit), everything works as required. Even if this particular attribute value is not in the selection of my level (this seems logic, if the value is not in my selection... it is not selected).
The problem is when I make a restriction on an attribute value that is not assigned yet to a char value.
If I run my layout or function, then I receive the following error message :
Selections for characteristic XXX cannot be determined
Message no. UPC_FW137
Diagnosis
It was attempted to read the selections for characteristic XXX. But no values could be determined. This can have one of the following causes:
For characteristic XXX, the selection is defined by a hierarchy node, but no values were found for the selected nodes.
For characteristic XXX, the selection is defined by attribute selections, but no values were found for the attribute selections entered.
Procedure
Change the selection for characteristic XXX so that values can be delivered.

... Well yes I understand it but the attribute will be updated in another process, so I am expecting that if this value doesn't exist yet, the data slice/function does nothing since it has nothing to select...
The current workaround (but I don't like it at all) is to create dummy values of my characteristic where I put the attribute value I am interested in. Then even if these dummy char values are not contained in my level selection, everything works fine.
Do you have any clue/idea in order to help me on this?
Thank you in advance,

Any idea?

Getting the attribute value from a table from page def using el expression.

Hi,
Am using Jdeveloper 11.1.2.0.0 and have a requirement as follows for which a sample is been created. Requirement is as follows..
1. Have a Taskflow that has a readonly table Employee.
2. On clicking of a button called "route" checks if the selected row , Manager id attribute value = 200 then navigate to first page else if manager id attribute value is 200 then navigate to second page.
Through the page def , if it has form , then we can access the attributes like #{data.view_FirstPageDef.ManagerId} . In case of acquiring the same attribute value from table using page def ? is what am unable to get..
Have achieved the routing concept using the Router activity on Taskflow. But am unable to get the selected row attribute value of a table from the employee page def.. Can someone suggest on the same...
Thanks and Regards,
Vinitha G

On the router, right click its icon in the task flow and create a page definition. Then in the page def file, add an iterator based on the same View Object from the table in the first page, then add a value attribute mapped to managerId in the View Object iterator. Finally in the router you can write EL expressions along the lines of #{bindings.ManagerId.inputValue = 200} or #{bindings.ManagerId.inputValue != 200}.

Select DISTINCT attribute vlaues fom XMLTYPE column and...

Hello
I have spent whole day to find the solution with no success. PLEAS HELP !
The Problem :
1. I have table with xmlType column in this column is the following xml:
<revision>
<product id = 1>
<screw>
<img id = 1/>
</screw>
<screw>
<img id = 2/>
</screw>
</product>
<product id = 2>
<screw>
<img id = 1/>
</screw>
</product>
</revision>
I must select DISTINCT img IDs and then select/join them form relational table img (id(number), pic (blob) )
I can't find the solution to select distinct attribute values from XML!
I have tried this:
select extract(c.xml, 'revision/product/screw/img[not(@id=preceding-sibling::img/@id)]/@id') from TABLE c;

Hello Odie_63
I have again problem finally my XML looks that:
<revision>
<product id = "1">
<screw>
<img id = "1"/>
</screw>
<component>
<img id = "1"/>
</component>
<screw>
<img id = "2"/>
</screw>
<component>
<img id = "2"/>
</component>
</product>
<product id = "2">
<screw>
<img id = "1"/>
</screw>
<component>
<img id = "4"/>
</component>
</product>
</revision>'));
And I don't know why my following statement doesn't work. (I must slect all distinct id from <img>).
select distinct x.img_id
from cfg_xml t
, xmltable(
'/revision/definitions/product'
passing T.EQ_CFG_XML
columns img_id number path '/component/img/@id',
img_id2 number path '/screw/img/@id'
) x
And this is VERY SLOW :/
select x.img_id, y.img_id
from cfg_xml t
, xmltable(
'/revision/definitions/product/screw/img'
passing T.EQ_CFG_XML
columns img_id number path '@id'
) x,
xmltable(
'/revision/definitions/product/component/img'
passing T.EQ_CFG_XML
columns img_id number path '@id'
) y
Is it possible to return al distinct ID in one column>?
Thanks for HELP :)

Element attributes using XSQL

I have been reading the documentation for the XSQL servlet in the hopes of using it to get XML data out of a relational database.
Whilst it seems straight forward to get the column entries into their own elements I have not seen how to get them into an element attribute instead of their own element (other than the id attribute which you can only use once per row).
Is this correct or is there a way to get column values into element attribute values instead of element values?
Any help appreciated.
Ron Quartel

If you're using XSQL, the best solution
is to use XSL stylesheets.
You could write XSL file to include
DTD/Schema in your output xml file.
Basic XSL sample is used in the XSQL demo.
There is short discussion in the readme.html
file. If you're only moving elements to
attributes, they probably would be enough.

Struts: getting multiple selected values from a select element

Hi Friends,
I am a total newbie with struts,I have manage to run a simple login script,
Now I was wonderingif there is a select box and user has the ability to select multiple values from it how do I get those values in the *Form class
my select tag looks like this
<html:select property="listboxValue" mulitple="mulitple">
...options--
</html:select>
in the ****Form extends ActionForm{....I have setter and getters for getting the value from select box as below
public void setListboxValue(String value){
this.listboxValue = value;
and the getter is
public String getListboxValue(){
return this.listboxValue ;
please never mind the missing brackets and such.
What I was hoping to get to work was something like this
public void setListboxValue(String[] value){
this.listboxValue = value;
but that does not work...If I have the an array being passed,it seems like this method is no even envoked
Please guide me
Thanks

I'm having trouble to get in the ActionForm all the selected values in my multiple select. I select all the values by setting to true the selected attribute of all the options in a javascript function. In the ActionForm the variable is String[]. I'm not getting any ClassCastException, but I only receive the first value selected (String array with just one element).
Select definition:
<html:select name="detalleConsultaForm" property="destinatarios" multiple="true" size="8" >
Javascript function:
function validalistarelacion(campo)
{ if (campo.length < 1)
alert("Campo sin valores");
campo.select();
return false;
for (var i = 0; i < campo.length; i++)
campo.options.selected = true;
return true;
ActionForm:
String[] destinatarios;
public String[] getDestinatarios() {
return destinatarios;
public void setDestinatarios(String[] destinatarios) {
this.destinatarios = destinatarios;
What I get:

Extracting the Attributes values of an XML Element

Dear Forum Members
Please tell me any XML Function which is used to extract the Attribute value of an XML Element.
Given below
<BRKCD_STREDSWTINVIN_C Key="6708">
is an Element With some Key value.
I want to have that Key value.
Using Extract and Extractvalue I am not able to get the Attribute value.
Is there any way..
Regards
Madhu K

Your xml is not really complete ;), but this should get you started:
michaels> with t as
(select xmltype('<BRKCD_STREDSWTINVIN_C Key="6708"></BRKCD_STREDSWTINVIN_C>') xml from dual)
select d.xml, d.xml.extract('//BRKCD_STREDSWTINVIN_C/@Key') key
from t d
XML KEY
<BRKCD_STREDSWTINVIN_C Key="6708"></BRKCD_STREDSWTINVIN_C> 6708

Get element based on attribute value

Hi,
I need to locate an element based on its unique
attribute value. There are lots of elements in the
hierarchy, I only show relavant ones here.
code:
<myElement myAttribute="attValue">
<childElement>child value</childElement>
</myElement>
If "attValue" is unique for all elements, and I want to
locate myElement and then get childElement value.
I did the following, but it does not work:
<xsl:value-of select="//*[myAttribute='attValue']/childElement"/>
Could any one see what I did wrong?
regards,

Thanks for spotting the error. I was too careless.
What if I want to use a xsl:variable to do the testing, can I do the following:
<xsl:variable name="uniqueAttValue" <xsl:value-of select="..."/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="//*[@myAttribute={$uniqueAttValue}]/childElement"/>
I used either {$uniqueAttValue} or '{$uniqueAttValue}', but neither works.

Hi,
The issue here is the mapping of the interface to the service in question, and usually points to a possible mistype or rename of something within your service architecture.
You need to make sure your namespace and service name here match your service name itself.

Tricky! Change of navi-attribute values in ABAP and use in selections

Hi gurus,
now I have a teaser that really keeps me busy, and which might be interesting for some of you:
we use several statuses in our Demand Planning in SCM 5.0, some of which can be switched by using a user-function macro which just basically is a ABAP function module that changes navigation attribute values directly on the database, meaning in the master data tables of the respective characteristic.
Now, the code works, the values are changed accordingly, leaving the data set in object status "active" - BUT:
when we call a selection, it still shows the old values, even after activating master data or running the attribute change run!
This is not what we expected. Our wish was, that once the table was updated with the correct field values, we would also see them in our selections.
Details:
we have two statuses as navi-attributes to an article:
DP: YES/NO, and
oDP: YES/NO
Combinations originally are: DP YES/oDP NO
After the status change macro, the table shows the following, as expected:
DP NO/oDP YES
As we have two selections, one on DP status "YES", the other one on oDP status "YES", we would like to see the article vanish in the first selection and show up in the other one...
Does anybody have an idea what is wrong and what we can do to have to proper navi-attribute values from the master data table in the selection? Does the selection not read from the database but from a buffer?
Looking forward to your answers,
Klaus

Hi Fabrice,
yes indeed, I did check the object version, and it is A.
Problem is, the function module changes the data record which is "A" anyway. So the changed data record is active - however, I just had a look at the SID master data table, and it looks that direct changes to the P-table do not affect the X-table where the SIDs are stored. So I guess I will also have to update the X-table with the correct SID-values.
If this works, I let you know. We will be using this change by ABAP quite often, it is rather useful.
Regards and thanks for your prompt reply,
Klaus

Setting property attribute values for multiple selected objects.

Hello,
Is there an easy way to set the attribute property values for more that one selected Table Operator Attribute (column) at a time. For example the target table has over 100 columns but I only want to INSERT/UPDATE 10 of those columns. The generated MERGE, INSERT and UPDATE statements will perform DML on all of the columns in the target table, setting the 90 columns with no mapping set to NULL. This is due to the Loading Properties 'Load Column when Updating Row' and 'Load Column when Inserting Row' both default to Yes. I would like to select multiple Attributes in the Table Operator and change the 'Load Column when Updating Row' and 'Load Column when Inserting Row' to No. This is similar to what you were able to do in Oracle Forms 9.0 Designer select multiple Items in a Block and change the properties en-masse.
Thanks

Hi,
Using OMB scripting to set attribute properties in a data mapping sort of defeats the purpose of utilizing a graphical user interface to define and set properties for a data mapping? Surely the GUI data mapping tool was created to get away from writing scripts and scripting would also require that you know the name of the data mapping, table operator and the set of attribute names for which you have to write one line of script to set each property value, i.e. 90 lines to set 90 attribute values.
Cheers,
Phil

Select XML Node by a specific attribute value

I am newbie for LifeCyle.
This might be an easy question, but it really got me here.
I am trying bind xml data into a Drop-Down List. The databinding is working fine, but I would like to have more specific node selected from the xml file by using a attribute value.
for example Code in AS 3.0
root.node.(@id=="1").subNode
How could i do the same thing in LifeCycle Designer 8.0
Thank you in advance!!!

there's no native method for this, maybe you should create some functions for this. just like
private function setAttribute(node:XML, name:String, value:String, index:int = -1):void
 var attrs:XMLList = node.attributes().copy(),
 l:int = attrs.length();
 if(index == -1 || index > l - 1)
 node.@[name] = value;
 else
 delete node.@*;
 var idx:int = 0;
 for (var i:int = 0; i < l + 1; i++)
 if(i == index)
 node.@[name] = value;
 else
 var attr:XML = attrs[idx];
 node.@[attr.name()] = attr.toString();
 idx++;
and use it like this:
setAttribute(myNode, "otherAttribute", "abc", 0);

GET element(s) by an attributes value

Hi,
Is it possible to get an element of a node by the value of 1 attribute?
I know there is a method getelement() where you can specify an index,but I don't find a method where you can specify the attribute's name and value.
Now I have to loop trough all elements and check it's the element I need.
Friendly regards,
Nick

Yes.
We just get the element by attribute value like you: Loop all the elements and check the element's attribute value...
As far as i know, we have not the simple method to get the element by only one attribute value...
If you have, pls tell us and you are very appreciated.
Best wishes.
