Using custom XML data

Hi,
I am really new to Adobe LiveCycle.
If I have something like:

   This packet does not represent a PDF subassembly
How can I use the data from the custom XML to bind it to a text field for example. Thanks

Do you have a sample XML file? If so, in Designer create a new Data Connection usng your sample XML file. Once you have read the file, then simply drag and drop the nodes in the XML to the fields on your form and the two objects will be bound. Note that if the bind is successful then a chain link will appear in the dataview indicating that the node is bound.

Delete Power Query queries' custom XML data using VBA

I have Power Query queries in an Excel 2010 file and would like to delete these queries using VBA. so far I can achieve that manually with the following steps:
unload Power Query addin
run Document Inspector and click to delete Custom XML data
The Macro recorder record the following code for step 2.
Sub Makro1()
' Makro1 Makro
ActiveWorkbook.RemoveDocumentInformation (xlRDIPrinterPath)
ActiveWorkbook.RemoveDocumentInformation (xlRDIDocumentProperties)
ActiveWorkbook.RemoveDocumentInformation (xlRDIInactiveDataConnections)
End Sub
However, using this macro I do not achieve the same result (=PQ query code gone from the workbook).
Any ideas on how to achieve the PQ query codes to be removed using VBA?

On some cases Macro Recording is not complete, and misses to record the full set of VBA to automate the actions you record. This is probably such a case.
We are looking into future ways to allow you automate Power Query cleanup.
For the time being, please see if the
Document Inspector interface can clean the custom XML data (which holds the Power Query data structures).
thx, Gil.

Email Alert Template Issue - List Alerts (Alert Me) emails not using customized XML alert template

We have recently customized the XML alerts template (AlertTemplates.xml) for our site collection in SharePoint 2010 to exclude specific fields in the email when users who have subscribed using the "Alert Me" feature. We have renamed the
custom alerts XML file and loaded the custom template in the following directory (%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML) and restarted IIS. Once users subscribe to the alerts using the list "alert me"
function they received the customized email as intended.
We needed to auto-subscribe users to the email alerts so what we did was use a powershell script to add users to the alert subscriptions using the script shown below:
Import-Csv D:\Temp\filename.csv | ForEach-Object{
$webUrl=$_.WebUrl
$listTitle=$_.List
$alertTitle=$_.AlertTitle
$subscribedUser=$_.SubscribedUser
$alertType=$_.AlertType
$deliveryChannel=$_.DeliveryChannel
$eventType=$_.EventType
$frequency=$_.Frequency
$oldAlertID=$_.ID
$web=Get-SPWeb $webUrl
$testAlert = $web.Alerts | WHERE { $_.ID -eq $oldAlertID }
IF ($testAlert) {
$web.Alerts.Delete([GUID]$oldAlertID)
Write-Host Old alert $oldAlertID deleted. -Foregroundcolor Cyan
$list=$web.Lists.TryGetList($listTitle)
$user = $web.EnsureUser($subscribedUser)
$newAlert = $user.Alerts.Add()
$newAlert.Title = $alertTitle
$newAlert.AlertType=[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertType]::$alertType
$newAlert.List = $list
$newAlert.DeliveryChannels = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertDeliveryChannels]::$deliveryChannel
$newAlert.EventType = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEventType]::$eventType
$newAlert.AlertFrequency = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertFrequency]::$frequency
if($frequency -ne "Immediate"){
$AlertTime=$_.AlertTime
$newAlert.AlertTime=$AlertTime
$newAlert.Update()
Write-Host Created $newAlert.Title for $subscribedUser . -Foregroundcolor Cyan
} ELSE {
Write-Host Alert $alertTitle for $subscribedUser already done. Moving on. -Foregroundcolor Magenta
When we ran the script and added the users and restarted the service, all users who were auto-subscribed via this method get the email without the customizations that were done in teh custom alert template. All users who manually subscribed on their
own to the list using the "Alert Me" function would get the customized email.
Does anyone know why users who manually subscribe to the alerts get the customized email, and users who were auto-subscribed using the powershell script do not get the customized email and get the standard generic email template?

Hi ,
According to your code, it create a new alert using SPUser.Alerts.Add() method. For this method, it will create a new alert based on the predefined alert template by default.
If you only assigned the custom alert template to the list, users who manually subscribe to the alerts get the customized email, but users who were auto-subscribed using the PowerShell script get the standard
generic email template.
For your issue, you can set the new alert ‘s alert template:

Is it possible to use an XML Data Template to create a report in APEX?

Hi,
I have created an XML Data Template in BI Publisher passing one parameter and running two queries, then created an RTF Document Template to present the data.
I can create a nice report in BI Publisher using the two elements. I have used RTF Document Templates to publish reports in APEX but the data comes from a Report region running a single query.
I would like to run a report based in this kind of XML Data Template, in order to use several children queries related to a parent query. Is it possible to do it in APEX, or you have to use BI Publisher?
Francisco
===========================
Below is a simple data template definition:
<dataTemplate name="cotizacion_template" description="Prueba de data template para cotizaciones" dataSourceRef="dbxprts">

</dataTemplate>

Hi,
I have the similar question. I used data templates in BI Publisher but now I want to use the same data template in Apex to print some reports.
I tried to some examples but these were only using report queries. I also tried with the Web Service but this didn't work for me either maybe because I didn't
used it in the right way. When I used the WS I received the binary of the report so the WS worked it was just the how and where to use it that didn't work for me.
Now this older entry is BUMPED maybe we find a solution for our problem this way.

How to use Load XML Data (Home Utilities Data Load/Unload Load)

How is Load XML Data (Home>Utilities>Data Load/Unload>Load) supposed to work? Where is this documented?
What table type/structure is required?
How does this related to XDB functionality?

It's not really documented that well in the XE redux documents (or even the base Apex Documents)- see http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/appdev.102/b25309/sql_utl.htm#sthref2530
However, it's reasonably easy to use - you can export a table to XML format, and then reload the table with the data by importing the XML document. It has nothing to do with XDB, it's just a different flat file representation for unloaded data than CSV

How to formulate SQL that need to use some XML data in a clob?

Hi,
We just created a new 8i table that has some regular fields as well as a clob field that contains XML data. How could I bring back the value of a spcific element in the XML field and compare it against a regular field? For example, I want to make sure the value in field A is not the same as the value of a specific element in field b. Your help is very much appreciated.
select * from X
where X.a <> X.b.elementZ

Depending on how complex your XML data is, you can write a simple function that does a string search of the CLOB and returns the value of the tag you are looking at. Then you can compare the value of the tag and the value of the the column.
select * from X
where x.a <> getTagValue(X.b,'elementZ')
Check out the DBMS_LOB package.

How do I use the XML-data from a callback in JSP?

I´ve tried this but with no success..
How do I recieve the data in a servlet/JSP-page?
Thanks.

Thanks for helping me Anurag.
The problem I tried to solve was that I want the result from my service methods
in XML format. I thought a callback/polling was the best alternative, am I right?
Since the callback option doesn´t work I will try to poll the service.
Are there any other options for solving my problem??
Thanks again!!

"Anurag Pareek" <[email protected]> wrote:

Andrej,
I guess you are trying to invoke a Webservice which defines a callback
method
from a JSP, and want the JSP to handle the callback made by the webservice.
For a client to be able to handle a callback made by a Webservice, it
has to be
a web service in itself.
Even some web service tools do not support 'Solicit responses' and hence
they
would not generate handlers for the callback methods by default. You
can download
a callback WSDL in such cases and implement it on the client side. The
server
side web service will then callback to that webservice.
The other option to callbacks is to use polling methods. This can be
done from
any client such as Java client/ JSP client or a .NET client.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.

How do I use an XML Data Feed or a CSV Data Feed?

I am trying to build a website for a business I started. My drop shipper has a "data feed" that has all of the info for the products (over 100k products). The data feed is available in bot XML and CSV format. I have searched what seems like forever, and cannot find any info on how to actually make it work. Can anyone point me in the direction of how to actually do this? I have both dreamweaver and muse.do everything?
Do I need to create different pages and things like that? Or does the data feed
Also, The data feed is updated every 12 minutes after the hour, every 8 hours from the dropshipper, so will inputting the data feed automatically change on the website, or will I need to re add the data feed code every day?
This is what the dropshippers website says ...
Files on this page can be used to populate drop ship websites. We recommend that you update the inventory on your site as often as possible, both to make sure you have all the items we carry, and to avoid placing orders with us for items that are out of stock or discontinued.
The Bronze feeds, (i.e., ELD-B01.csv, MC-B01.csv, ELD-B01.xml, and MC-B01.xml) start the update process 12 minutes after the hour, every 8 hours at 08:12, 16:12, 00:12 CST. Be advised it takes awhile to complete the update process because of the many different feeds and the amount of data.. The OutofStock.csv, Discontinued.csv and InStock.csv feeds are updated every 15 minutes.
Thanks in advance!

You would need to parse the XML feed into your site with PHP or JavaScript.

What is the use of XML data collections

Dear all,
I have open the Adventure works database sample and have few technical design question about it :
1- I have seen that seen that some function has been define. IN which case we should use function vs Store procedure ? so far I always have used SP.
2- I have notice also that in some table, there is a field which contains XML content and this XML content is coming from the XML Schema collections. Some shemas has been define here for different tables.
    - What are those shema used for in here ?
    - How they are created ?
    - how they get inserted to Table colum ?
I am not a DBA and knows some basics but not all so thanks for simple explaination :-)
regards

Hi wakefun,
About your questions, I recommend you review the following articles for understanding user function , Store procedure and XML Schema collections in Adventureworks database.
1. Stored Procedures in AdventureWorks;
2.
User-Defined Functions in AdventureWorks;
3. XML Schema Collections (SQL Server).
The XML schema collection is a metadata entity like a table in the database. You can create, modify, and drop them.
the XML stored in a column or variable that a schema is associated with is referred to as typed XML, because the schema provides the necessary data type information for the instance data.

Custom Alert Email Templates Issue - List Alerts emails not using customized XML alert template

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that users who were auto-subscribed using the PowerShell script do not get the custom email alert.
For your issue, it can be caused by the auto-subscribed alert email which is generated by PowerShell script is using OOTB alert template. You can add the following script into your script for setting
the alerts’ alert email template:
$contentService = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService
$AlertsTemplateCollection =new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertTemplateCollection($contentService)
$newAlert.AlertTemplate = $AlertsTemplateCollection["YOUR_UNIQUE_TEMPLATE_NAME_VALUE"]

App-V 5.0 infrastructure - identifying deployments using custom.xml

For App-V 5.0 standalone infrastructure, I need to identify deployments which are using an assigned configuration that is not default. But rather if the deployment is using either a UserConfig.xml or modified DeploymentConfig.xml. I do not find anything
which would be an indicator within the tables/columns of the databases for App-V Management and App-V Reporting.
Is there another possible option that I can identify configurations in bulk?
Nick Moseley | http://t3chn1ck.wordpress.com

In the 'App-V 5 SP2 Application Publishing and Client Interaction' guide, there is a short section about 'Package catalogs'.
There, client-based locations are mentioned that can be used to identify whether a user or machine based custom configuraton has been apllied.
Rory's method is valid for well-managed environments, but I'd prefer a client-based method as only this makes sure you really have the 'active' settings.

Form with dropdown lists using external XML data - Distribution

Hi all,
I have created a form which has a series of drop down lists that populate dynamically from an external XML file. The option selected in the first list determines what data can be selected in the second, and so on.
This functionality worked well within designer when I previewed the form - the problem I have is when I go to distribute. I (perhaps mistakenly) assumed that when I distributed the form, the external XML file would be absorbed into the main PDF, but this as not the case. Not only that, even if the XML file is in the same location as the published PDF, the dropdowns no longer populate with any data.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting to draw in external XML when a form is published? Is there another method to dynamically populate dropdowns that will provide me with a single PDF as a final product?
Cheers,
Lachlan.

Hello Lachlan,
Before distributing the form have you opened that form in Acrobat and imported the XML and saved it ?
Thanks.

Setting Custom XML = Yes in resource gantt chart removes start & end dates

I'm having a strange issue with a Resource Gantt chart in Apex 4.0.2.
I built the chart using the Wizard and changed nothing from the defaults. Everything looks/acts fine on the chart when Use Custom XML = No. But I wanted to change a couple things like cell alignment and width, so I set this to Yes and modified the column attributes in the XML code. After doing so, when running the report, the values for Start Date and End Date are not showing. This is happening in both the datagrid and the tooltips, but the timeline is still showing the right information (ie a bar from start to end), so I know it still knows what the correct start and end dates are.
Thinking I accidentally messed something up, I deleted the chart and recreated it (again, from the wizard). This time, I went back and only set Use Custom XML = Yes but did not change anything within the XML code itself. To my surprise, the dates were still missing. If I set it back to No then they reappear.
Has anyone seen this before and/or know a way to fix it?
Thanks,
~ John

Hej John,
APEX itself is using a field substitution "&DATE_FORMAT." to insert the date format into the XML file. This field substituion is used in may location in the default XML. APEX standard action is to substitute it with the value specified in the Gantt Setting "Date Format". This substitution takes place many places in the default XML file.
Enabling custum XLM also means disabling APEX XML handling, the substitution does not take place, the "&DATE_FORMAT." contains in this case a null value.
The default XML file, which can be viewed in apex developer mode, looks like:
Start Date: {%ActualStart}{dateTimeFormat:&DATE_FORMAT.}
The runtime XML, which can be viewed in debug mode, contains something like:
Start Date: {2011.07.21 00:00:00}{dateTimeFormat:}
...a null value is not a valid AnaGantt date format.
Two solutions:
a) insert a correct AnyGannt date formatter in the custom XML like
Start Date: {%ActualStart}{dateTimeFormat%YYYY.%MM.%dd %HH:%mm:%SS}
or
b) create a field DATE_FORMAT on page containg the chart and intialize it with the AnyGantt date formatter like %YYYY.%MM.%dd %HH:%mm:%SS".
When running the page the substitution will take place usually.
Regards,
Benny

How to use XML data stored in table column in XML Data Definition

Hi,
We are using BIP 5.6.3 (Oracle EBS R12).
We have a table which stores XML data in a column. Is there a way we can use this XML data through a SQL query in XML Data Definition of BI Publisher report instead or writing whole SQL query to fetch same data from Oracle EBS?
Can some please provide a sample SQL query that we should use in Data Definition?
Thanks!

Mark,
Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for.
After doing @Name in both places (SELECT and WHERE clause) it worked.
Now I have one more question.
There are multiple DIMENSION tags in my xml, and I want to see the NAME attribute values for all of those DIMENSIONs. The following query returns
ORA-19025: EXTRACTVALUE returns value of only one node.
Cause: Given XPath points to more than one node.
Action: Rewrite the query so that exactly one node is returned.
SELECT
extractValue(value(x), '/AW/@Name') as "AW",
extractValue(value(x), '/AW/Dimension/@Name') as "DIMENSIONS"
from
OLAP_AW_PRC,
table(xmlsequence(extract (xmltype(AW_XML_TMPL_VAL), '/AWXML/AWXML.content/Create/ActiveObject/AW'))) x
where
extractValue(value(x) , '/AW/@Name') = 'OMCR4'
