SQL data transformed by XSL-TEXT template

Hi,
please, how can I transform data retrived by SQL query using XSL-TEXT template (need to generate text file using rpad/lpad XSL function)? There is no problem if the data set is 'XML file', with setting the data set as SQL querry I'm lost..
Thanks for all replies.

XSL-TEXT: how to import subtemplates in XSL and use xdofx tags?

Hi,
I am working on a BI Publisher Report (XML Publisher 5.6.3 in EBS) to generate labels on a label printer. The output needs to be in plain text format, therefore I decided to use the XSL-TEXT template and create my own XSL translation.
In principle this works pretty fine, but there are two things that worry me a bit:
1. Does anybody know how I could import other XSL files, like sub-templates in RTF? The problem I have is that I don't know the URI or the sub-template. At the moment I store those other XSL files in the OA_MEDIA folder, but this is not really nice. In RFT you can refer to subtemplates with some xdofx commands... this brings me to my second question:
2. In RTF templates you can use the Oracle specific XML tags, including the <xdofx:%> and <xdoxslt:%> tags. Does anybody know if and how I can use them in XSL templates?
Any ideas are highly appreciated!
regards,
David.

Hi Vetsrini,
1. but what is the absolute path for my subtemplates if I store them in the Template Manager? How can I refer to them?
This is what the manual says for RTFs:
>
Enter the Import Syntax in the Primary Template
Import the subtemplate to the primary template by entering the following syntax in the
primary template. The import syntax tells the XML Publisher engine where to find the
subtemplate RTF in the Template Manager. This syntax may be entered anywhere in the
template prior to the call-template syntax:
<?import:xdo://APPCODE.TEMPLATE_CODE.lang.TERR?>
where
APPCODE is the Application code you assigned to the subtemplate in the Template
Manager. For example, if you associated this template with the Receivables application,
enter "AR".
TEMPLATE_CODE is the template Code you assigned to the subtemplate in the Template
Manager. For example, AR_CommonComponents.
>
sounds good and easy to me. But I don't have a RTF template. I have just a plain XSLT and those XML Publisher tags do not work there. So how do I get the absolute path of my XSLT templates stored in the Template Manager?
2. I've included the namespace, no error anymore. But the syntax does not result in actions:
<xsl:value-of select="xdoxslt:substr((PRODUCT_NAME),1,2)"/>
{code}
This does not substring() my string, the full string is returned. But anyway, I don't get an error message anymore. Maybe I just used the wrong XDOXSLT function... I need to search for a list of XDOXSLT functions, but that's not very urgent for now. I think I can do the most with plain XSL and inside the DB itself.

XSL transform question from XML date datatype to SQL date datatype

Just to give an idea, I am reading some employee information in a CSV format and I have created the fileadapter to read it and parse it into coherent information where each comma separated value corresponds to a column in an employee table. One of the columns is of the date object in the database.
So my my variable is created with a list of employees and then fed into the invoke that calls a dbadapter that does the insert. I am using a transformation to get the values from one variable into the other simply because of namespace conflicts. However the xml date will not match the sql date object as to be expected...but how do I work around it? I have a few ideas but I am not sure they are worth mentioning.
Any suggestions?

Using a SQL data source and XML data source in the same template

I am trying to develop a template for the Request for Quote report generated in Apps 11.5.10. I have loaded the data from the XML output into the template, but I am missing one field - I need the org_id from the po_headers table. Is it possible to use a sql data source (i.e., "select org_id from po_headers_all where po_header_id = [insert header_id from xml data]...") in addition to the xml data source to populate the template at runtime? When you use the Insert > SQL functionality is it static at the time the template is created, or does it call to the database at runtime? I've looked through all the docs I could find, but this isn't clear.
Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have.

Hi Pablo
Thats a tough one ... if you go custom with a data template you will at least get support on the data template functionality ie you have a problem when you try and build one. You will not get support on the query inside the data template as you might have gotten with the Oracle Report, well you could at least log a bug against development for a bad query.
Eventually that Oracle Report will be converted by development anyway, theres an R12 project going on right now to switch the shipped OReports to data templates. AT this point you'll be fully supported again but:
1. You have to have R12 and
2. You'll need to wait for the patch
On reflection, if you are confident enough in the query then Oracle will support you on its implementation within a data template. Going forward you may be able to swap out your DT and out in the Oracle one without too much effort.

Data Transformation Service (DTS) available in Oracle SQL Developer?

Hi All,
Sorry to bother you again. Is Data Transformation Service (DTS) available in Oracle SQL Developer? So far I cannot find it. For example, i want merge First Name, Last Name column from Access,excel or cvs to migrate as Full Name in Oracle or Full name in Access,Xls or cvs split into First name & last name column in Oracle. What method or service should I use.
Regards,
Tun Tun

On wikipedia, I see that's a SQL Server component, so I don't think it's possible to use it in any other program.
But you can always tweak columns through normal queries, and even create a new table based on that, like
CREATE TABLE Table_New AS
SELECT First_Name || Last_Name FROM Table_OldHope that helps,

XSL:Text img ... Breaks in transformation

Hi
I am sure this is a nobrainer. I am using Java to transform an XML document on the server. What I want to do however is to transform values to a corresponding image on the server. eg Database has value 2 stored. The XSL style sheet then transfroms this to <img src="2">.
I am using the following
<td class="tableText"><xsl:text><img src="</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="PRICE"/><xsl:text>"></xsl:text>I have tried using the disable-output-escaping flag and it doesn't seem to make much difference. If I substitute < for < then this is treated as text by the browser. I am sure I am being stupid so please stop me going mad.

What you have shown there is not even valid XML, as you are not allowed to have the character < in an attribute. You have to escape it by typing < instead. However, your comments "If I substitute < for < ..." indicate that you probably haven't shown what you actually have, because you don't know how to type the input so that it displays correctly in HTML.
To get a < character, you must type "<". And if you want to see "<" you must type "&lt;".
So try again, and show us what you actually have.

VS2012 - Build - Transform text templates

We have a relatively large solution file (25 projects). If I build any one of these projects, the final build step is "Transforming templates for all project items". Does anyone know where the setting is to toggle this functionality in visual studio
2012.
I thought it was my 'power commands' plugin which was doing this, but I've turned it off but doing so hasn't stopped the functionality.
It causes all the builds to hang for 5 - 6 seconds at the end, and for something that isn't really needed for each and every build its getting a bit annoying.
I removed a bunch of add-ins from my VS but no luck.
These were:
VS Power Commands
VS productivity tools
Tangible T4 Editor (free)
I've since started VS with all add-ons disabled, but it still does it.
Strange thing is, in one branch it doesn't do it and in others it does, even after a full merge. I tried deleting the .suo file but it made no difference.
It even runs if I start a build, and then cancel it.
Any insights are appreciated.

Hi marlon_tucker,
I doubt that the output informaiton would be related to the T4 text templates, could you get the .tt files in your project?
Reference:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb126478.aspx
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee844259.aspx
If you want to disable it when you build it, maybe you could think about changing the property of this .tt file.

Handling No Data found in e-Text Outbound type template

Hi,
I am facing the following issue. I am new to BI Publisher / e-Text templates. Can someone help in getting the issue resolved?
My XML file looks like this when there is data:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <XX_GIFTAID_CLAIM_REP_XMLP>
<p_start_date>2010/10/01 00:00:00</p_start_date>
<p_end_date>2010/10/31 00:00:00</p_end_date>
- <LIST_G_GIFT_AID>
- <G_GIFT_AID>
<C_SUPPORTER_NUMBER>18967929</C_SUPPORTER_NUMBER>
<C_SUPPORTER_NAME>Barnett</C_SUPPORTER_NAME>
<C_RECEIPT_DATE>2010-10-03T00:00:00.000+01:00</C_RECEIPT_DATE>
<C_APPLIED_AMOUNT>33.5</C_APPLIED_AMOUNT>
</G_GIFT_AID>
</LIST_G_GIFT_AID>
</XX_GIFTAID_CLAIM_REP_XMLP>
When there is no data:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <XX_GIFTAID_CLAIM_REP_XMLP>
<p_start_date>2010/10/01 00:00:00</p_start_date>
<p_end_date>2010/10/31 00:00:00</p_end_date>
<LIST_G_GIFT_AID />
</XX_GIFTAID_CLAIM_REP_XMLP>
When there is no data request is completing with warning. When there is data, request completed successfully. I am using data template to generate the XML output. I think I need to handle no data found situation in rtf file. But I have no idea how to write. I tried the following, but it did not work:
IF NOT(//G_GIFT_AID) THEN
No data found
END IF;
<?if:not(//C_SUPPORTER_NUMBER) =0?>No Data Found<?end if?>
Any pointers in this regard are highly helpful as this is an critical issue to be delivered ASAP.
Thanks in Advance!!
Mukthi

Try this: <?if:count(/XX_GIFTAID_CLAIM_REP_XMLP/LIST_G_GIFT_AID/G_GIFT_AID/C_SUPPORTER_NUMBER) =0?>No Data Found<?end if?>
I tried it for both cases of your xml data snapshot provided and it works...

SQL DM - Data Transformation and Data Movement option ?

SQL DM - Data Transformation and Data Movement option ?
I am using SQL DM 3.0.0.665. I need your thoughts on following.
We find that Erwin introduced Data Transformation and Data Movement functionality to support ETL need. We were able to generate ETL spec using this feature.
Does SQL DM have any plan to introduce such features?
How do we use the current SQL DM to build ETL spec ?
Thanks in helping us out.

Hello,
I am currently experimenting with SQL Data Modeler to produce high level solution designs and ETL specifications.
Have not completed what I am doing but so far have come up with the following:
Current assumption I am working on:
All objects specified within the SQL Data Modeler will export to the Reporting Schema tables set up in an Oracle database. Once the data is within these tables then it will be a simple task to develop a SQL report to extract the data in any format required.
1) There is nothing in the physical (Relational) Model section that supports this
- though I have yet to fully use the Dimensional Modelling functionality which may have the mapping functionality required to specify an ETL
2) We need diagrams of the processes as well as the ETL mapping
- Process modelling is available in the Logical
- Reverse Engineer all Physical objects to become Logical object i.e. one Table to one Entity
- For each Entity set up an Information Structure
(Currently this can only be done in a convoluted method via creating a diagram, creating a Flow and editing the Flow then drilling down)
MESSAGE to SQL Data Modeler Support: Can things be set up so that Information Structures can be set up directly from the Browser, current method is a bit nonsensical
- You are now set up to use the Logical Process Modeling functionality to capture the ETL requirements
- Advise that you reference the training to understand what primitive, composite and transformation processes objects are
- Also, take the time to understand what an external agent object is
- Will assume you know what a Data Store is
Here is the standard I am heading towards that seems feasible, will need to run a proof of concept within the larger team to ensure it works though:
- A Logical is kept that is a one for one with the Physical
(The only reason for this is that there is no process modeling functionality for the Physical objects
MESSAGE to SQL Data Modeler Support: Can you duplicate the Process Modeling for the Logical to be available for the Physical objects too, would be a great help to specify ETL jobs.
- An External Agent is used to represent an external source e.g. Billing application
- A primitive process is used to represent the high Level design
- A composite process is used to specify processes which can be further broken down to ETL jobs
- A transformation process is used to represent an ETL job
Within a Transformation process you can specify the mapping from multiple sources to a target table
There are some negatives to this approach:
- You lose the physical schemas the tables are part of, though a naming convention will get round this
- You need to maintain a logical that is one for one with the physical, this is not a big overhead
However, as I have stated in my message to the SQL Data Modeler support team, would all be resolved if the Process Modeling functionality were also made available within the Physical objects environment.
Please note that we have not as yet adopted the above approach and are still assessing is SQL Data Modeler will meet this requirement to our satisfaction. The critical bit will be if the data exports to the Reporting Schema, if it does then we have plenty of SQL resource that can produce the reports required procided the data can be captured.
Hope that all helps.
Also, hope I have not missed the point of your email.
Kind regards,
Yusef

I guess you'll have to ensure that all date strings come with the same format.

xsl:text not preserving whitespace

When I try to use <xsl:text> to put spaces into the output of a transform, it does'nt work. Leading/trailing spaces gets stripped and a single space by itself gets dropped altogether.
This is using the PL/SQL XSLT on an XMLType in 9.0.2.
If I run the same transform on the same data but using XALAN XSLT it works fine.

Was that supposed to read:
<xsl:text>& amp;#xa0;</xsl:text>?
(I added whitespace so you could see the ampersand, but that's not a non-breaking space, that's an actual printable character.
I later found a solution that worked in this thread:

How to call a SQL function from an XSL expression

Hi
In R12, in Payroll Deposit adivce/Check writer, We need to sort the earnings tag <AC_Earnings> in to two different categories as regular and other earnings. In the DB and form level of element defintiion we have a DFF which differentiates between the two kinds of earnings. But the seeded XML that is gerneated by the check writer does not have this field.
The seeded template displays all the earnings in one column. How can we achieve this in the template without modifying the seeded XML.
The one approach i have is to write a function and based on the return value sort the data. For this I need to know :
1) How to call a SQL function from an XSL expression that is allowed in BI template.
If anyone ahs faced similar requirements please share your approach.
Thanks
Srimathi

Thank u..
but i'd seen that link wen i searched in google..
Is it possible without using any 3rd party JARs and all?
and more importantly plz tell me what should be preferred way to call a javascript function?
Do it using addLoadEvent() or Windows.Load etc
OR
Call it thru Xsl? (I donno how to do dis)
Thanks in Advance..

Using XSL-XML template to convert name value pairs into XML elements

Hi,
I have a xml document in the format:
<?xml version=”1.0”?>
<body title="Mr" firstName="Joesph" middeNames="George Harry" lastname="Smith" countrycode="GBP"/>
I need to convert this using a XSL-XML template in BI publisher to return XML in the following format, while doing some conversion, e.g. converting countrycode from GBP to UK:
<?xml version=”1.0”?>
<body>
<title>Mr</title>
<firstName>Joseph</firstName>
<middleNames>George Harry</middleNames>
<lastname>Smith</lastname>
<countrycode>UK</countrycode>
</body>
Would appreciate if anyone could point me in the correct direction.

Hi Sweta,
Why MTB??? Message Transformation bean is used to change the format of the message... If you are planning to call any XSLT or java mapping through that then you can give it a try..
>>how to get the last and first 3 special characters in the output text using MTB?
Put them in message mapping itself and write it in File

Xsl:import and xsl:call-template errors for xslt in mediator (ORAMED-03601)

Hello,
I decided for performance issues with bpel execution to use a mediator instead.
In my requester i have a mediator that justs recieves an xml message, uses an xsl transformation (version 2) on that message and then sends it to the EBS.
The xsl file that's works correctly when used in a bpel process has both <xsl:import..../>and <xsl:call_template.../> tags.
When i tried and used the same xsl in the mediator i get an ORAMED-03601 error:
ORAMED-03601:[Invalid transformer configuration]Unable to create transformer. It could be because of transformation file or configuration issues. Reason : "xsl/Xform_PriceListListABMReqMsg_to_PriceListEBMReqMsg.xsl"Possible Fix:Check log file for any exceptions and contact Oracle Support Services for further help
It works correctly again if i comment/remove all the imports and call-template and incorporate them in the xsl file itself.
Do anyone know if there are some limitations using xsl in a mediator instead of a bpel?

Hi,
I have a problem with call-template. I have passed
sed some parameter with call-template tag and used
that parameter in the conditional check tag <xsl:if>
i am getting the error. Can any body tell how to use
this? I actuall want to dynamically pass the tag name
as the parameter and check the attribute value of the
tag passed in the if condition and then i want to
person some action. How can i do it?
Here is the call-template code:
<xsl:call-template name="selected-unselected">
<xsl:with-param
ram name="currentTag">motor-carrier</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
Here is the template definition:
<xsl:template name="selected-unselected">
<xsl:param
m name="currentTag">Quick-Quote</xsl:param>
     <xsl:if test="./{$currentTag}/@selected='true'">
          <xsl:text>checked</xsl:text>
     </xsl:if>
     <xsl:if test="./{$currentTag}/@selected='false'">
          <xsl:text>Unchecked</xsl:text>
     </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
Here is the sample xml code:
<motor-carrier selected="true"/>
<motor-truck selected="false"/>
<sched-mobile-equip selected="false"/>
Here instead of writing the condition check for every
tag i want to write it once and dynamically pass the
tag name as parameter to the template. If the
attribute of the tag has value true then one message
should be displayed otherwise a different message
should be displayed.try this:
