Size/Length of a String/XML Data

All,
Is there any built-in-function available in BPEL to find the length/size of an String/XML Data?
Or any work around if any.
Thanks
Ramana.

Chintan,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I was using the String-length() to find the length of the file.
Actually I had requirement on compressing the input file. Here I want to get the size of the file before and after compressing the it.
I guess I try using the Java Embedding to find the size (Didn't try this option), but I am looking for any built-in-function if available.
Thanks
Ramana.

Best method to transfer large strings (XML data) to/from stored procedure

Hi!
I'm trying to call a PL/SQL procedure from Java. The procedure inputs a string (XML) that is parsed, and returns a result string (also XML).
Typical size of the string is 5kb -> 1mb.
I can see two possible solutions:
1) String / LONG
2) CLOB (Using DMBS_LOB.createTemporary and getting a CLOB locator and passing the locator to the stored procedure)
Does anyone have other suggestions?
What is the fastest method for transferring XML structures from to and from stored procedures?
Anders

Anders,
I would say it depends on your requirement. Both the methods have some advantages and disadvantages.
Using a CLOB means that you have to use vendor specific libraries but this is more extendible and I fast too.
Using String/Long will be more portable in the long run but again you lose on speed/performance.
Just a doubt of mine... If I got it correct, you are transforming one XML to another XML based on some conditions. Why dont you use XSL and XSL StyleSheet Processor packaged with XDK for this? I think this would be the fastest way.
Hope this helps.

Converting hexadecimal XML data to a string

Hello!
Until now I generated XML data with the FM 'SDIXML_DOM_TO_XML'.
After that I did a loop over the xml_as_table in which I was casting each line of that table to a string.
ASSIGN <line> TO <line_c> CASTING.
After the inftroduction of unicode in our system I get a error:
In the current program an error occured when setting the field symbol <LINE_C> with ASSIGN or ASSIGNING (maybe in combination with the CASTING addition).
When converting the base entry of the field symbol <LINE_C> (number in base table: 32776), it was found that the target type requests a memory alignment of 2
What does it mean? Does somebody have a solution.
I need this function for sending this XML data as string over a simple old CPIC connection.
Best regards
Martin

Data type of preprend array size in Flatten To String block

Hi
The data type of the preprend array size in Flatten To String block is given as I32. Is it somehow possible to reduce the data type to I8, since the width and height of my array won't exceed 255 ?. I also need to do the same in Unflatten To String as well.
Best regards

The short answer is no. This is because the index is an I32. NI likes to keep integers as an I32 whenever possible for reasons like this.
Since you are dealing with a 2D array (width and height), it will actually use 2 I32s before the actual data.
As Ravens stated, you could put in your own array sizes before the array in the string. But it is worth saving 6 bytes? Not likely.

How to parse a string containing xml data

Hi,
Is it possible to parse a string containing xml data into a array list?
my string contains xml data as <blood_group>
     <choice id ='1' value='A +ve'/>
     <choice id ='2' value='B +ve'/>
         <choice id ='3' value='O +ve'/>
</blood_group>how can i get "value" into array list?

There are lot of Java XML parsing API's available, e.g. JAXP, DOM4J, JXPath, etc.
Of course you can also write it yourself. Look which methods the String API offers you, e.g. substring and *indexOf.

<AAA LBP="223344" ETK="123456/1" ACT="345" />
</DATA>
then, im fetching header details like this..

END LOOP;
after this, I need to loop all the actual records one by one using this for loop. Here for each iteration , i need to check some string ( example ACT) is there or not. in the above example, records 1,3 have ACT value in it. So here i need to check some thing like this. if instr('<AAA LBP="223344" ETK="123456/1" ACT="345" />','ACT)>0 before I perform the below step.
How to achieve this.
I appreciate your help.

Now I am learning SOA ,I have one scenario which I store the each record in xml format in database from file adapter ,extract the xml data and store the data in another table ...Give me any suggestions which I slove these issue .
Thanks in advance.

Hi
You can try the below xpath function to convert the xml into string - orcl:get-content-as-string(/xsdLocal:SAPOrderRequest)
To convert the string back to XML - ora:parseEscapedXML(bpws:getVariableData('stringpayloadVar'))

Xml data considered than strings character in«append»&«insert-aft»operation

Hello,
I use BPEL10.1.3.1. Here is my problem. I recuperate in a database a CLOB data type :
<c>
<d>
<e></e>…
</d>
<f>
<g></g>
<h></h>…
</f>
</c>
I insert this CLOB data type in a new variable "compteRenduXml" (type : simple type, xsd language). When I visualize my "compteRenduXml" variable, it is a xml data (that's OK).
I am trying to insert the "compteRenduXml" variable after the <b>…</b> operation :
<a>
<b>…</b>
</a>
The problem is the variable I would like to insert is considered than strings character (and not xml data ! ).
After, when I try to insert a value in "<e>abcd</e>" for example, I have this error : « The XPath chain does not return any node. »
Can you help me ?
Thank you.

Read/get xml data (string)

Hi
I have a XML string that I get from a TCP transfer, I have attached a received string.
I have no experience in reading XML data, I have tried looking in the forums and some of the examples in LV, but I cannot get it to work, so I hope that someone could help me out. All I need to get from the XML data are the names e.g. Station1 and Station2 perhaps putted into a string array. If so it wouldn't hurt to get all the rest parameters and attributes as well. I thought about doing some string searches to get what I need, but thought again that it might be easier/better in some way to take advantage of the data being arranged as XML.
Hope that someone can help.
Thanks in advance

Hi all
falkpl wrote:
The easy way is if you know that this string is not changing much you treat it as a formated string and parse it using simple string functuions
ie first parse %s and %s The two slashes will cancle the escape clause of the string parser. Repete this process to get each station and attributes.
The harder way is to use an activeX or .net XML parser.

I am not sure what you mean about the parser, well I get the concept, but is there a specific string function that can do that for me?
I got something working with the Match Pattern vi, please the attached. This actually works for my current needs, but I still would be able to get data from more complex XML data.
Hi A.K. and J.K.
Thank you for the link.
EasyXML looks like a nice and handy tool for handling XML data. I ran in too some problems though when running the VI Package Manger. When I check the network for new packages it says that there was an error, please check the network connection or settings. I have internet connection (I am writing this post ) and I am not using a proxy server. What could be wrong and how do I install EasyXML then, is there another way?

XML operation resulted an XML data type exceeding 2GB in size. Operation aborted.

I have table with one million rows, when i am using xml path ('Root'), it giving me an error
"XML operation resulted an XML data type exceeding 2GB in size. Operation aborted."
This is a limitation of sqlserver. I have to xml path because i have to create nodes and attributes. In more complex case i will be joining multiple tables to get id and other attributes so combining multiple xmls in not an option here.
any workaround....thanks in advance

Here an example of your query that retrieve record in batch of 2 records. In real code, you should save the last id retrieved and call the query in a loop.
DECLARE @BATCHSIZE AS integer
SET @BATCHSIZE = 2
DECLARE @LASTID As Integer
SET @LASTID = 0
select top(@BATCHSIZE) id as "@id"
,name as "@name"
select id as "@id"
,name as "@name"
select *
from @products p
where p.customer_id = cs.id
group by id,customer_id,name
for xml path ('product'),Root('products'),type
from @customer cs
where cs.client_id = c.id
group by id,client_id,name
for xml path ('customer'),Root('customers'),type
from @client c
where c.id > @LASTID
order by c.id

JAXB: Read XML data from a String?

Hi,
I get XML data not from file but as a string and I wanted to use JAXB to parse it and get my Java Objects.
The unmarshall methods wants an "InputStream", but "StringBufferInputStream" is deprecated, so that I don't know a way to use my String as InputStream.
Can someone give me a hint other then writing the data in a file first?

Hi FrankSch,
The unmarshall methods wants an "InputStream", but
"StringBufferInputStream" is deprecated, so that I
don't know a way to use my String as InputStream.
Can someone give me a hint other then writing the data
in a file first?Yes, the class StringBufferInputStream is deprecated, and the deprecation notice reads:
Deprecated. This class does not properly convert characters into bytes. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to create a stream from a string is via the StringReader class.
The JDK API usually mentions an alternative to the deprecated method/class and in this case, you should use java.io.StringReader. It has one constructor and should suite you nicely:
StringReader(String s) That way, you get an InputStream object; you can now use JAXB.
Hope this helps,

Have XML data in a string, can't extract it to the XML bean class

Hi All, I have a string that contains XML data, for example,
string str has "<one>1<\one><two>2<\two>". i have the XML beans classes,
but i am unable to get this data out of the string and add it to the xml bean
classes.
I anybody has a clue as to how to code this, please help ASAP.

Hi Kunnev,
Lets say I have an xsd
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema
     xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
     xmlns:bea="http://www.bea.com/xmlbeans/Sample.xsd"
     targetNamespace="http://www.bea.com/xmlbeans/Sample.xsd"
     elementFormDefault="qualified"
     attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
<xs:element name="Person">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="FirstName" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="LastName" type="xs:string" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
Now after I compile this I would get XMLBean classes
Like Person is a xmlBean class. The code snippet below shows how I can convert
a string into a xmlbean of type Person.
XmlOptions xopt = new XmlOptions();
xopt.setDocumentType(Person.type);
Person x0 = (Person) XmlObject.Factory.parse(
"<xml-fragment>" +
"<FirstName>desc---1</FirstName>" +
"<LastName>desc---2</LastName>" +
"</xml-fragment>", xopt);
Person pp = (Person)x0;
Now pp is a XMLBean object which can be added to the tree.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks a lot,

How to read XML data stored in CLOB in Concurrent prog Output

Hi All,
I'm trying to Generate the XML Data as concurrent Program output. I have a PL/SQL package which generated the XML data by using SQL/XML functions. I'm storing the generated XML data in a CLOB variable. But when i try to read the data using fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.OUTPUT,XML_Data) it doesn't display data more than 32767 bytes.
Please help me out to understand what could be done to read the data in chunks. I have tried many logic's to print chunks of data but the output tags are either chopped off and errors out saying Tag not found.
My logic is as below:
v_handler:= DBMS_XMLGEN.newContext(v_xml_query);
--Sets NULL handling options
DBMS_XMLGen.SetNullHandling(v_handler, dbms_xmlgen.EMPTY_TAG ) ;
--Set special character handling
DBMS_XMLGEN.setConvertSpecialChars(v_handler, TRUE);
-- Specified whether to use an XML attribute to indicate NULLness of particular entity in the XML document
DBMS_XMLGen.useNullAttributeIndicator(v_handler,TRUE);
-- set Checking invalid chars
DBMS_XMLGEN.setCheckInvalidChars(v_handler, TRUE);
-- get the xml data as required
v_xml_data:= DBMS_XMLGEN.getXMLtype(v_handler);
SELECT XMLROOT(v_xml_data.extract('/*'),VERSION '1.0').getClobVal() into v_new_xml_Data from dual;
-- get the length of the xml generated
v_clob_len := dbms_lob.getlength(v_new_xml_Data);
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.LOG,'The Clob length is :'|| v_clob_len);
-- logic to process string more than 32767 Processing by each character
v_offset :=1;
while (v_offset <= v_clob_len)
LOOP
v_char := dbms_lob.substr(v_new_xml_Data, 1, v_offset);
IF (v_char = CHR(10))
then
fnd_file.new_line(fnd_file.output, 1);
else
fnd_file.put(fnd_file.output, v_char);
end if;
v_offset := v_offset + 1;
END LOOP;
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.LOG,'The offset is :'|| v_offset);
FND_FILE.NEW_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT, 1);
THe above logic is for character by character which is a performance burden? Please let me know if there is any other work around for this

Hi,
Thanks for Replying. I have refered http://blog.oraclecontractors.com/?p=69 and then i added that piece of code. Basically, i'm trying to generate a report using XML publisher. To generate the XML data i'm writing a pl/sql package with SQl/XML functions. DBMS_XMLGEN would help me convert the XML Data as is. When the concurrent program runs this XML data will merge with RTF layout and generate required report. I'm able to generate the Report for data less then 32767 bytes. More than the limit i need to pass chunks of XML data to read as output. That's the reason i'm using fnd_file.output. But it reads only 32767 size at a time.
WHen i use the given logic, it works perfectly fine, but it loops for each character, for example if you have 30,000 characters it loops the same, which is peformance burden.
So i tried to write the logic of chunks but still i get the error that XML tag is not found or missing. I'm hoping this is very common issue, but after all my trails, i didn't find the right solution.
the other logic i tried was :
v_new_xml_data varchar2(32767)
v_iterations := CEIL(v_clob_len/v_chunk_length); -- v_chunk_length is 32767 and v_clob_length is length of the XML data stored inthe clob variable
For i in 0..v_iterations
LOOP
FND_FILE.put_line (fnd_file.log,'the loops v_pos :'||i||' and v_clob_length :'||v_clob_len);
v_new_xml_data := DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR ( V_XML_DATA,v_chunk_length,(i*v_chunk_length)+1);
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE (FND_FILE.OUTPUT,v_new_xml_data); -- read the output for every 32767 chunks
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.LOG, 'Chunk length is :'||((i*v_chunk_length)+1));
END LOOP;
FND_FILE.put_line (fnd_file.log,'out of loop');
FND_FILE.put_line (fnd_file.log,'length of new xml is '||v_clob_len);

I try to use XML files as data source with Oracle Report 9i. Even if the .xml and the .dtd files are well-formed and validate is OK, Oracle Report doesn't recognize the groups, columns,... How to format correctly DTDs file?? With easy .dtd it works, but for more complex code it doesn't work.

Refer the link for data definition and Data Source format.

Advanced column Types support:
Formatting support for xml columns types, date / timeInstant : XML Simple Types columns can be defined in xml schema to specify the format for date/timeInstant types column in XML Data Source. Based on the format string mentioned in XML schema XMLPDS will parse the XML Stream and
convert the XML Data to Report specific format.
simpleType : dateformatColumn :
<xsd:simpleType name='dateformatcolumn'>
<xsd:restriction base='xsd:date'>
<xsd:pattern value='dd-MMM-yy'/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
simpleType : dateTimefomatColumn
<xsd:simpleType name='dateTimefomatcolumn'>
<xsd:restriction base='xsd:timeInstant'>
<xsd:pattern value='MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss'/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
MaxLength support for xml string column types : By default column length for all string columns will be 4000 bytes as set in config file. Maxlength for string type columns can be overwritten by defining and using a simpletype column in XML schema used for data definition
simpleType : stringColumn
<simpleType name='stockString1'>
<restriction base='xsd:string'>
<maxLength value='7'/>
</restriction>
</simpleType>
The XML schema format with simple type :
<xsd:element name="tableName" type="tableType"/>
<xsd:simpleType name='dateformatColumn'>
<xsd:restriction base='xsd:date'>
<xsd:pattern value='format string '/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
<xsd:simpleType name='dateTimefomatcolumn'>
<xsd:restriction base='xsd:timeInstant'>
<xsd:pattern value='format string'/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
<simpleType name='stringColumn'>
<restriction base='xsd:string'>
<maxLength value=' maximum column size '/>
</restriction>
</simpleType>
<xsd:complexType name="tableType">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="rowName" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="columnName1" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="columnName2" type="xsd:decimal"/>
<xsd:element name="columnName3" type="xsd:dateformatColumn"/>
<xsd:element name="columnName4" type="xsd:dateTimefomatcolumn"/>
<xsd:element name="columnName5" type="xsd:stringColumn"/>
<xsd:element name="columnNameN" type="xsd:date"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
XSD file using advanced column types :
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema">
<xsd:simpleType name='stockDate'>
<xsd:restriction base='xsd:date'>
<xsd:pattern value='dd-MMM-yy'/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
<xsd:simpleType name='Transaction'>
<xsd:restriction base='xsd:timeInstant'>
<xsd:pattern value='MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss'/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
<simpleType name='stockID'>
<restriction base='xsd:string'>
<maxLength value='15'/>
</restriction>
</simpleType>
<xsd:element name="XML">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="G_STORE" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="STORE_NAME" type="stockID"/>
<xsd:element name="CITY" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="REGION" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="TRANSACTION_START" type="stockDate"/>
