SSMS 2012:XML File Query: Importing XML data using a CTE-Incorrect syntax near 'BLOB'?

Hi all,
From https://www.simple-talk.com/content/print.aspx?article=1756, I mimicked to create the following sql code to do Importing XML data using a CTE:
---Importing XML data using a CTE -----Ad-Hoc XML File Query--simple-talk---1020AM 27 Feb 2015
---query the XML Blob using a CTE (pulling from the XML file each time
USE OPENXMLtesting1
GO
With XmlFile (Contents) AS (
SELECT CONVERT (XML, BulkColumn)
FROM OPENROWSET (BULK 'C:\XML FilesMicrosoft-Samples\books.xml', SINGLE BLOB) AS XmlData
SELECT
FROM XmlFile
GO
I got the following message:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 4
Incorrect syntax near 'BLOB'.
I have no ideas why it is incorrect in that code statment. Please kindly help, advise and respond.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

How to apply XSLT to XML file while importing XML data using XSU plsql API

I need to load XML file with nested repeating elements into Oracle tables and I am using XSU PLSQL API utility package dbms_xmlSave.insertXML. Can use XMLGen package also!!
I found out through documentation that I need to have XML file with ROWSET/ROW tags around the elements. As I have no control of XML file coming from external source, so I wish to apply XSLT to XML. I found setXSLT/setStylesheet procedures but it's not working as expected.
Can you help me with some sample code for the purpose.
Thanks

Problem converting data in XML file to internal table data

Hi all,
I have a requirement. I need to convert an XML file to internal table data and based on that data do Goods Receipt in SAP.
With the help of this blog /people/r.eijpe/blog/2005/11/10/xml-dom-processing-in-abap-part-i--convert-an-abap-table-into-xml-file-using-sap-dom-approach
I am able to convert the XML file to data in SAP. But this blog will display the output on screen as ELELEMNT = nodename VALUE= value of that node.
But I donu2019t want in that way, I want to store all the data in XML file in an internal table so that I can make use of those values and do Goods Recipt in SAP.
Can some one suggest how should I read the data in an internal table.
Here is my code..what changes should I make?

Pavel Vera,
With your example i tries doing the following .....
I tried to convert the data of XML file to internal table data. I am collecting the data in internal table to do goos recipt with that data.
Please find my XML file, ABAP pgm and XSLT pgm . I donu2019t know what I am missing I am not getting any output. I donu2019t know what is wrong please help me with this
Below is my XML file, My code and XSLT Program. In the below XML file I need to collect Vendor Number, Order Number, and Date tags which occur only once for one XML file.
I also need to collect the following tags from <Shipmentdetail>
<Shipmentdetail> has following child nodes and I need to collect them
TrackingNumber
Freight
Weight
ShipmentDate
ShipmentMethod
Need to collect to collect the following tags from <ProductInformation>
<ProductInformation> has following child nodes and I need to collect them
    LineNumber
    SKUNumber
    OrderedQuantity
    ShippedQuantity
    UOM
The <Shipmentdetail> and <ProductInformation> are child nodes of <OrderShipment>
The <Shipmentdetail> occurs only ones but the <ProductInformation> can occur once or many times and will be dynamic and differs depening on the input file.
My XML file is as follows

Logon Error in importing XML file by import type - Schema in import Manager

Hi,
I am trying to import the xml file by selecting type XML Schema. I have already created an XML Schema in console based on the XSD file from my desktop and the same is visible in dropdown of XML Schema Tab while importing.
But I am not able to import the XML file based on the XML Schema. I got the Logon Error As : "Cannot load XML file"
Content of the error is like -

The Namespace provided Differs from the schema's 'http://n............)
Please have you inputs as this is a very critical requirement to pull the XML file based on XML schema automatically based on the ports created in console.
Response wud be highly appreciated.

How do I modify invoice request xml file by adding posting date?

Hi,
We import customer invoice requests via xml files from an external data source. Currently the standard SAP xml file does not include the posting date, and invoices enter SAP with a blank posting date. When the invoice is released, the posting date is taken from the invoice date.
Due to our month end processes, we have hundreds of invoice requests every month where we do not want posting date to equal the invoice date, and for each of those invoices the posting date is manually entered one invoice at a time during the release process. This is very time consuming.
We would like to build functionality in our external system to create the posting date at the xml file generation stage. Could anyone let us know the following:
- what is the name of the posting date field on invoice requests (invoice documents)?
- where would we place the additional script in the xml file?
I'm attaching one of our current xml files (which already contains one section that has been customized)
Your suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kerstin

Kerstin,
The closest i could find in the WSDL of the Manage Invoice Request Web Service that handles this integration is "<ProposedInvoiceDate>" or possibly even "<ProposedDeviatingPostingdate>", both of which sit directly under the <CustomerInvoiceRequest> element.
For more information, go to the Service Explorer, find the ManageInvoiceRequestsIn Web Service, download the WSDL, and open it in SOAP-UI or something similar. This way you can see all the fields that you can write to, which is where i found these two elements.

How generate a XML file & how to save data in that file?

With an API like Xerces you can parse an XML document into a DOM tree. You can do modifications on that tree manually and then write it back out as XML data.

Is it possible to have 2 different output config XML files and index the data into 2 endeca apps using the same indexing component ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin

Hi ,
We have a catalog that defines 2 types of products (they have too many different properties), so wanted to keep them on two different MDEX engines and serve the applications requests. Here DB catalog and front end ATG application is same for both the MDEX instances.
Is it possible to have 2 different output config XML files and index the data into 2 endeca apps using the same indexing component ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin?
Thanks
Dev

Hi, also have had some problem some monthes ago - I created separete component ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdminSecond. After that one of my colleage gave me some advice:
The creating separate component like ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin for the second IOC is possible way for resolving your situation. But I afraid that this way will be required creating mane duplicates for already existed components.
In my opinion the better way is the following:
starting from AssemblerApplicationConfiguration and ApplicationConfiguration component. It contains details for connecting between ATG and Endeca. Of course you should configure different components for different Endeca Apps.
After that:
Find all components that uses AssemblerApplicationConfiguration and ApplicationConfiguration. Customize these components for using one or another *Configuration component depending on what index works. (many variants released it: the most simple global custom component with flag.)
Then customize the existed ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin. Using one or another IOC and setting the flag in global custom component when index started. You can add some methods into your custom ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin like:
Execute baseline index for both IOC (one by one)
Execute baseline for IOC 1
Execute baseline for IOC 2.
Note: you should be afraid about incremental (partial) index in this configuration. But resolving conflicts in incremental index should be done after full implementation these changes.

NodeValue:
It contains a TextNode and its value is " " and a "\n".
I used setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace feature, but it seems didn't work.
How can i solve it?

I used setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace feature, but it seems didn't work.
Add a DTD to the XML document for setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace feature.

Merging two xml files into single xml file

i hav to merge 2 xml files in to single xml file
my xml files are
input1.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<PreVCD>
<component name="stack">
<subpath path="stack_environment">
<variable var="ins" symbol="!" wireonbus="1"/>
</subpath>
</component>
<dump>
<time t="0">
<data>
<symbol sign="!" value="0"/>
</data>
</time>
<time t="10">
<data>
<symbol sign="!" value="1"/>
</data>
</time>
<time t="25">
<data>
<symbol sign="!" value="0"/>
</data>
</time>
</dump>
</PreVCD>
input2.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<PreVCD>
<component name="stack">
<subpath path="stack_behavior">
<variable var="i" symbol="@" bussize="1"/>
</subpath>
</component>
<dump>
<time t="0">
<data>
<symbol sign="@" value="0"/>
</data>
</time>
<time t="5">
<data>
<symbol sign="@" value="1"/>
</data>
</time>

</data>
</time>
<time t="20">

</data>
</time>
</dump>
</PreVCD>
The ouput should look like:
<PreVCD>
<component name="stack">
<subpath path="stack_behavior">
<variable var="i" symbol="@" bussize="1"/>
</subpath>
<subpath path="stack_environment">
<variable var="ins" symbol="!" wireonbus="1"/>
</subpath>
</component>
<dump>
<time t="0">
<data>
<symbol sign="@" value="0"/>
<symbol sign="!" value="0"/>
</data>
</time>
<time t="5">
<data>
<symbol sign="@" value="1"/>
</data>
</time>
<time t="10">
<data>
<symbol sign="@" value="0"/>
<symbol sign="!" value="1"/>
</data>
</time>
<time t="20">
<data>
<symbol sign="@" value="1"/>
</data>
</time>
<time t="25">
<data>
<symbol sign="!" value="0"/>
</data>
</time>
</dump>
</PreVCD>
thanks for any advice

Load XML file into oracle xml buffer

Hi guys,
I'm a starter in Oracle XML Development, I wander how I can load a xml file into oracle xml buffer(xmlctx* document) through programming with c++ in visual studio.
When I use orastream structure, it compiled failed.
Thank you very much!

try this
LOAD DATA
INFILE '/home/oraread/'
INTO TABLE xmlloadtable
(id,
file_name filler,
data_xml lobfile(file_name) terminated by eof
)you can add the file_name field as a column to your table between the id and xml column and remove the filler word in the .ldr file if you need to keep the name of the file

Loading an xml file from an xml file

I'm trying to load an xml file from an xml file, but I'm
having problems. My first xml file is really simple - it only
contains one attribute with the name of another xml file in it
(eventually I will have multiple xml files in here and run a loop
on them...this is why I want to load an xml file from an xml file).
Currently, with the code below, I can get the main xml file
to load ("main.xml"), but I cannot get the secondary xml files to
load FROM the main.xml.
I want to then take childNode values from the secondary xml
file and use them within my .swf in text boxes and whatnot.
Any guidance? I think I'm going wrong on the line where I'm
saying "i.newxml.load(i.attributes.location);"
- How can I get this to work?

johnypeter:
I tried changing the code inside the loop to use just
"newxml" instead of "i.newxml", and I declared with "var newxml =
new XML();" - was this what you were thinking?
kglad:
The reason I tried to use the loadXML() function in the loop
was so that for each node in my "main.xml" it would load the new
xml file listed - this is a no-no? Do you have any ideas as to what
I could do?
For the for-loop, what should I change in it? I'm not great
with loops so I tried to modify some code from another loop I found
in another forum thread - not the right way to do it here?
Also, what should I trace? The value of the _root.address, or
i.attributes.location? I have created dynamic text boxes on my
stage to see if the correct value from the xml file loads (ie. the
name of the xml file within the xml file) and it does, but now I
don't know how to put that information into ANOTHER loadXML()
function and get the node information from it - does that make
sense???
Below are the examples of the xml files I am using. In the
first one, main.xml, I will have a list of multiple xml files, each
with the same nodes and elements as in the details.xml file
(different values, of course).
This is just to give you an example of what I'm trying to
accomplish - pulling ALL the addresses and phone numbers from
multiple xml files. I cannot manually collect this information, as
it is dynamic, and will be updated in each individual details.xml.
I was hoping to collect the information by simply adding to and
updating ONE xml file - main.xml.
Do you think this can be done? Am I going about it the wrong
way? I'm quite limited in AS knowledge, which is why I'm piecing
together code from other posts!
