Specifying the output order of elements in XML using Oracle Reports.

Hi,
I am developing an Oracle Reports report, using Report
Builder 6.0.8.17.0 on WinNT. The requirement is that the report
will only ever be used to generate XML output.
However, due to a bug in the XML Parser at the other end,
it's necessary to have certain elements appear in the XML before
others.
e.g. This simplistic example shows XML output from Reports
runtime, which looks something like this:
<DEPT id="10">
<NAME>Government</NAME>
<EMP id="4435">
<SAL>12000</SAL>
<ENAME>Harry Boland</ENAME>
<EMP>
<EMP id="8643">
<SAL>21000</SAL>
<ENAME>Michael Collins</ENAME>
<EMP>
<EMP id="9900">
<SAL>47000</SAL>
<ENAME>Eamonn de Valera</ENAME>
<EMP>
<LOCATION>
<ADDRESS type="street">Kildare St.</ADDRESS>
<ADDRESS type="city">Dublin</ADDRESS>
</LOCATION>
</DEPT>
However, the application that is parsing the XML fails due to
the fact that it expects the LOCATION element to be the first
within the DEPT element. i.e. before the NAME or any of the EMP
elements.
The way I have developed this is by creating a master query
which creates a master group, G_DEPT, with two column, ID and
NAME, and two detail queries and corresponding detail groups, EMP
and LOCATION. These groups are joined to the master using the
datalink facility in Report Builder.
Is there any way in Report Builder I can specify that the
LOCATION element is to be output for each DEPT element before any
other element belonging to DEPT?
Thanks,
Iibhear.

The order of the elements is determined by the order of the columns in the Data Model. Note that you can also use the "Exclude from XML output" property to completely omit columns form the XML output.

This applies to Reports 10g. I don't know if it also works in 6i.

How to export an album and keep images in the same order in elements 11 mac

I made an album of my trip to Australia (lots of pictures) and changed the order of the images (not the same as shooting order) and when I export the images in the album to a folder or memorystick, the images are copied to that place but I lost the album order of the images.
How can I prevent that, without having to renumber al 500 images separatly?
Gr Jos

Thanks for the tip, Michel
It worked like a charm…
cheers Jos

Gr Jos
The order in album is only kept in the organizer database, so the only way not to lose that order is to rename files.
If you are using the 'export' function, select your album in custom order, select all photos and in the dialog, choose to rename with a common base name.

Specify the output file path and print name when printing pages

hi,
how can i Specify the output pdf file path and print name when i am using the function PrintPagesSilent from AcroAVDoc Object.
My Code :-
Acrobat.AcroAVDoc doc = new Acrobat.AcroAVDoc();doc.Open(path,
"temp");

Dear Irosenth,
i try with different format (doc, docx, xls, jpg, bmp and txt) and it working successfully, but it give an random name for the file which saved in default folder for Adobe PDF print.
you can use the following function:
private void PrintPDF(string[] inputfilepath){
foreach (string path in inputfilepath){
Acrobat.
AcroAVDoc doc = new Acrobat.AcroAVDoc();doc.Open(path,
"temp");
Boolean v = doc.PrintPagesSilent(0, ((Acrobat.AcroPDDoc)(doc.GetPDDoc())).GetNumPages() - 1, 0, 0, 1);doc.Close(1);
and calling it by the following code:
PrintPDF(System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("c:\\t\\printjob"));
copy all files that you want to convert in side the mentioned path and run it program, then check the defualt print path for Adobe PDF printer.
test it and reply me. thanks again

Can we generate the output of SQL Query in XML format ..

Hi Team,
Can we generate an XML doc for an SQL Query.
I've seen in SQL Server 2000.It is generating the output of an SQL Query in xml format.
select * from emp for xml auto
The output looks like
<emp EMPNO="7369" ENAME="SMITH" JOB="CLERK" MGR="7902" HIREDATE="1980-12-17T00:00:00" SAL="2800" DEPTNO="20"/><emp EMPNO="7370" ENAME="SMITH" JOB="CLERK" MGR="7902" HIREDATE="1980-12-17T00:00:00" SAL="2800" DEPTNO="10"/>

Just a little bit of short hand.
Get the XML out of your database, via HTTP
Of course the easiest method is just to return an XMLType from a stored procedure and let the calling routine figure out what to do with it. Instead
of that way though, I'll show you how to do it via HTTP. It's all completely built into 10g and is super easy to use.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW emps_and_depts AS
SELECT e.employee_id AS "EmployeeId",
e.last_name AS "Name",
e.job_id AS "Job",
e.manager_id AS "Manager",
e.hire_date AS "HireDate",
e.salary AS "Salary",
e.commission_pct AS "Commission",
XMLFOREST (
d.department_id AS "DeptNo",
d.department_name AS "DeptName",
d.location_id AS "Location"
) AS "Dept"
FROM employees e, departments d
WHERE e.department_id = d.department_id
Some people hear web and immediately start salivating about security issues. Let me address that quickly. Just because you have the HTTP and/or
FTP servers running in the database, that does not mean you have a security problem. For one, I would hope your databases are behind a firewall.
Second, with the correct architecture (DMZ, app servers, etc) you can make this data available outside the firewall fairly transparently and third,
just because it's on the web does not mean the data MUST be available on the internet. This is a good way to make your data available on your
intranet. If you are worried about people INSIDE your firewall, that still doesn't preclude web based access. Follow Oracle security guidelines.
Before I show you how to get to your data, let's talk about URLs and URIs. A URL is a Uniform Resource Locater and URI is a Uniform Resource
Identifier. A URL is the way you would identify a document on the net, i.e. http://www.oracle.com is a URL. A URI is a more generic form of a URL.
Oracle supports three types of URI: HTTPURIType - basically a URL (which would be like the URL above), XDURIType - a pointer to an XDB resource
(usually an XML document but can be other objects), and DBURIType - a pointer to database objects.
It's the DBURIType that we're going to concentrate on here. The DBURIType let's us reference database objects using a file/folder paradigm. The
format for a DBURI is /oradb/<schema>/<table>. Oradb is shorthand for the database; it is not the database name or SID. My database is named XE
but I still use oradb in the DBURI. For example, the view we created above is in my XE database, is owned by HR (at least in my case) and is called
EMPS_AND_DEPTS. This can be referenced as /oradb/HR/EMPS_AND_DEPTS.
If the view had many rows and you wanted only one of them, you can restrict it by including a predicate. The documentation for XDB has a great
write up on Using DBURIs.In our case, we are going to write out the entire document. Now that you understand that the DBURI is a pointer to
objects in our instance, we can use that to access the data as a URL.
The format for the URL call is http://<machinename>:<port>/<DBURI>
In my case, my XE database is running on a machine called mach1 and is listening on port 8080. So to see the view we created above, I open my
browser and navigate to: http//mach1:8080/oradb/HR/EMPS_AND_DEPTS
The created URL will be as http//mach1:8080/oradb/PUBLIC/EMPS_AND_DEPTS
If your database is set up correctly and listening on port 8080 (the default), your browser should ask you to login. Login as the user who created the
view (in my case HR). You should now get an XML document displayed in your browser.
And that's it. It doesn't get much simpler than that. If you get rid of the descriptive text above, it basically comes down to:
Create a table or view
Open your web browser
Enter a URL
Enter a user ID and password
View your XML
If you notice, Oracle formatted the data as XML for us. Our view returns scalar columns and an XML fragment called Dept. Oracle formatted the
return results into an XML format.
And as a side note, if you look closely, you'll see that my URL has PUBLIC where I said to put HR. PUBLIC is a synonym for all objects that your
logged in user can see. That way, if your user has been granted select access on many schemas, you can use PUBLIC and see any of them.

Control the output order of a CFSearch

What is the proper procedure to take the return from a CFSearch and set the order based on one of the fields to be displayed in numerical, alphabetical, whatever?
I understand how to use the result of the CFSearch to index into another source but that's one record at a time. I want to re-order the cfsearch output to be in a defined order rather than the returned order based on ranking if I understand the process correctly.
What to do?

Basically we want to search a large inventory database and the client would like the output in an Alpha format. I figured that the verity search would be the easiest way to parse through the data as well as allow for using wildcard chars.
Ah right. I probably would not use Verity to do that. I'd use your DB's free-text search capabilities for this sort of thing, and do the work on the DB rather than getting Verity to drag it all out, then use CF to re-order it.
I can get what I want except that I don't quite understand how to take the cfsearch return and then re-sort the data.
This has been covered in previous responses: query on query will effect this. However I don't think Verity & QoQ is the best approach to the requirement, now that I better understand what the requirement is.
Adam

Specify the output date to be of a Specified date format.

     DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
     String dateString = "12/12/2006";
     Date dateStringInDateFormat = formatter.parse(dateString);
     System.err.println("the date"+dateStringInDateFormat);
     String str1 = formatter.format(dateStringInDateFormat);
     System.err.println("the date in string format"+str1);
     DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);
     df.setLenient(false);
     Date stick = df.parse(str1);
      System.err.println("The final date to be passed"+stick);The output that i get on screen:
the date Tue Dec 12 00:00:00 GMT 2006
the date in String format 12/12/2006
The final date to be passed Tue Dec 12 00:00:00 GMT 2006
I want the final date to be passed i.e, Date stick to be 12/12/2006
Can anyone helpme in this issue

DateFormats do not change what a Date object contains or how it is displayed. They are only used to format the output when you use them with format(Date). The Date object itself is unchanged and you cannot change it.
So whereever you want to display a date in your particular format you will need to use your DateFormat.

Remove element from xml using dom.

i want to remove an element from an xml file using dom.
i remove the element but the whole content of the file is also deleted.
how can i rewrite the file.

How to parse and use the data that is coming as XML using DAL script

Hi,
I am trying to implement a solution where we are getting a doPublish request using EWPS webservice call which just contains a transaction id. I need to read a table using transaction id to get the xml. I know how to read the xpath and implement the solution if the XML is coming as input. If it stored on a table where Documaker should read and get the XML, how can we implement that?

If you are saying that your XML is stored in a table, I'm not sure there is any method, using DAL or rule, that would know how to load XML from there. I can be wrong, but I think it has to load the XML from disk only - either as the extract file or as an external file referenced from the extract - using a Rule or DAL to go after the external file.
Perhaps you could clarify the situation a little more and someone might offer a suggestion.

END IF;
END;

Alex,
the code does look good. maybe the Reports query does not produce an output. You can trace this ny adding a header on top of teh Reports (e.g. a date or just saying "Hello World"). So instead of an empty page this should now show the text strings. If you don't see the string then there is something else going on. Since you are not getting any error message I assume that the Reports itself executes fine.
