Using include-xml and different character encodings

I have static XML documents which contain different character encodings in the xml prolog....
ISO-8859, UTF-8, and SHIFT_JIS.
Each of these documents has entities declared in an internal doctype declaration.
I have an XSQL page with several <xsql:include-xml href="???.xml"/> statements.
I want to make either --
1) UTF-8 as the ultimate encoding of the resulting XML data
2) Force the encodings on the individual documents to be changed to UTF-8
I want to get a final XML data steam which can be successfully parsed and transformed. The xsql page has a stylesheet reference.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Can I ask why XML and XSLT aren't suitable for printing / pdf generation? Using XSL-FO I can define a page size, margin widths, etc., right? Just because it isn't normally done doesn't immediately make it a bad idea. I was under the impression that XML was intended to be abstract enough that it could be used for more than just web pages or data transfer.

Expdp with network_link and different character sets for source and target?

DB versions 10.2 and 10.1
Is there any limitation for implementing expdp with network_link but target and source have different character sets?
I tried with many combinations, but only had success when target and source have the same character sets. In other combinations there was invalid character set conversion (loose of some characters in VARCHAR2 and CLOB fields).
I didn't find anything on the internet, forums or Oracle documentation. There was only limitation for transportable tablespace mode export (Database Utilities).
Thanks

Hi DBA-One
This link
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dp_overview.htm#CEGFCFFI
is from Database Utilities 10g Release 2 (10.2) (I read it many times)
There is only one thing about different character sets.
I quote:
Data Pump supports character set conversion for both direct path and external tables. Most of the restrictions that exist for character set conversions in the original Import utility do not apply to Data Pump. The one case in which character set conversions are not supported under the Data Pump is when using transportable tablespaces.
Parameter VERSION also doesn't play role here, because the behaviour (character set) is the same if I use for target and source only 10.2 or (10.2 and 10.1) respectivly.

Use Sign.xml and Encrypt.xml for both request AND response within WSDL?

Hi,
ALSB: 2.6
I was wandering if it's possible to use abstract outof the box WS-Policy file within WSDL file to specify encryption
(Encrypt.xml) and digital signature(Sign.xml) with X509 for both request and response???
So far, it only works for either request or response BUT not both. i.e. within WSDL file
.....
<wsdl:binding name="DexService2Soap" type="tns:DexService2Soap">
    <soap:binding transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http" style="document" />
    <wsdl:operation name="Message">

So is this a feature not supported in ALSB 2.6 yet or am I missing something dead simple?
Thanks in advance
Sam

Instead of specifying policies for input and output separately you could place the policy reference only once in the operation element. Maybe will this solve your problem...

Connect to SharePoint web service using the XML / Web Service connector

Hi experts,
I am currently trying to display my SharePoint list in Crystal Report. Therefore my plan is to use a SharePoint web service to get the data and paste them to the Crystal Report.
Is it possible to use the "XML and Web services" connector of the Crystal Reports database expert?
When I enter the web service URL, for instance:
https://[url]/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?wsdl
and click next... I have to enter the web service credentials.
On the next page I have to enter Service, Port and Method.
Do I have to enter the service URL again here?
What If, there is no port? Can I leave that field empty?
I know the methods, but where can I add the mandatory parameters?
Thanks for any helps and comments!
Sebastian

Hi Ananth,
thank you, but this document does not help at all.
We are using Crystal Reports 2008 SP2.
We want to use the Web Service Connector.
What I need is more informationen about the Web service connect. For example - the connection in Microsoft InfoPath is much easier - there I don't have to enter a port and can choose the methods from a list.
Is it possible to use the Crystal web service connector for MS SharePoint Webservices?
Or must I use the Crystal SDK to carry out a connection?
Best regards,
Sebastian

Solution need for multiple xml and Flowlist component

Hi! I am using multiple xml and AFComponents AS3 Flowlist component. I am having an issue with the thumbnails in the Flowlist component after about 20 or so user clicks, the images no longer appear, yet the threaded data is still there. http://www.littlewinggames.com/
I have tried changing some publish settings: hardware acceleration to Level-1 Direct and script time limit increased to 30???
Can anyone please help me to find a solution? Greatly appreciated! Lisa [email protected]

Ben,
Normally when you have multiple cameras you would log into the web interface and change the http port of at least one of them. The default port is 80. We normally would change one camera to use http port 1024 and the second 1025. Then you simply forward port 1024 to the first camera and 1025 to the second in the router. Just remember that when you attempt to access the cameras after you change the port it will look like this: :1024">http://:1024 (locally and remotely) Please reply if you have further questions.

Auto fit columns in excel using open xml

and other tools, but not opening in microsoft excel 2013 and older version. Is there any solution for auto fit columns in excel using open xml and should open in Microsoft excel all version

Hi Raj12345,
>> I have generate excel using open xml and it contain auto fit property for columns. my problem is that the excel is opening very well in kingsoft spreadsheets and other tools, but not opening in microsoft excel 2013 and older version
I assume you was using OpenXML SDK and I'm afraid we are not able to find the root cause according to your description, would you mind sharing us some code sample to reproduce this issue.
>> Is there any solution for auto fit columns in excel using open xml and should open in Microsoft excel all version
As far as I know, there is no auto fit property for columns in excel with openxml. I am afraid that you need to calculate the column width depending on the cell contents, and then set the column width. The link below shows more details:

Anychart: Bug when using chart template and Javascript

Hi all,
When I create a chart using custom xml and a template -
<templates path="#IMAGE_PREFIX#Chart_templates/my_chart_template.xml"/>If I call toggle a series using some javascript:
   var chart = getChart(); // function created by the chart embedding javascript to capture a reference to the chart object
   chart.showSeries('population_average', $('input[is_series_toggle="true"]').is(':checked'));
   chart.refresh();The series is toggled correctly but the chart is refreshed without applying the chart template, so it looks ugly.
Anychart claim this is an Apex specific issue because Apex uses a special build of Anychart? Anyone else encountered this problem and have a workaround. Or any other suggestions would be welcome.

Hello Sara,
The behavior you are describing is a long time known issue. It is a bug that should have been resolved by now, but for some reason was not. Maybe it’s because none of the default (built-in) page templates is using images with TABs.
The workaround is to create your own img tag in the appropriate page template section, using the #TAB_NAME# substitution string. The principle is to name your corresponding images like current_#TAB_NAME#.gif and non_current_#TAB_NAME#.gif, where the #TAB_NAME# part in the file name is replaced with the actual tab name. So, for a TAB called EMP, you’ll have two image files by the names current_EMP.gif and non_current_EMP.gif.
Regards,
Arie.

Dreamweaver 5.5 uses 50% CPU and becomes unuseable

As the heading says, my installation of Dreamweaver 5.5 has started to use 50% of the CPU time when any file is opened and effectively becomes unusable. I'm running Windows XP with SP3, Core2 CPU and 2GB RAM. The program is also using quite a lot of memory (120,000K+). I'm not having any problems with the other CS5.5 programs I use including Photoshop and Illustrator.
I use DW only occasionally and have run it on this computer for over a year without any problems.
I know that problems similar to this have been widely reported, so I have searched for a tried a wide range of fixes from Adobe and other sources, none of which have worked (for long). These include:
Replicate problem with Dreamweaver templates rather than my own files.
All the steps in http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405604.html including
Deleted cache file, WinFileCache-********.dat
Delete/restore preferences folder.
Disabled "Display External Files" in View menu.
Disabled "Enable Related Files" in Preferences.
Followed http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/hang-opening-document-dreamweaver-cs5.html, adding registry entry ResolveRemoteURLToIPAddress FALSE
Remove and reinstall Dreamweaver.
Remove and reinstall all of CS5.5 and apply updates.
Move and test 'site' on another computer running the same version of DW (under Windows 7).
A few of these, notably disabled "Enable Related Files" worked initially but the problem returned when DW was closed and reopened, even though the item remained disabled.
The problem does not appear running in safe mode, which may be diagnostic of something but is not a fix.
The dream is turning into a nightmare. I'm back to editing html using Notepad++! I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
Andrew

Thanks to Sudarshan and Preran for your speedy replies and promise of further help. In the meantime, I have tried to track down the cause of the problem.
Having found that DW ran is safe mode, I decided to check out the state of my Windows installation. A registry cleaner found an entry to a non-existant path:
Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5.5\FloaterStates\FlashFloaters, FloaterPath3 has the value "C:\Documents and Settings\AndrÃ©\Application Data\Adobe\CS5.5ServiceManager\extensions\ConnectionsHomeOMBackend\2.5.1.20110506_v2_5_1_ 120\ConnectionsHomeOMBackend-2.5.swf"
The directory AndrÃ© should be André, so possibly DW could be having trouble locating a file. Changing the registry entry made no difference as DW seems to reset it.
What is a 'floater' (apart from a floating div)? I did some research and came up with http://forums.adobe.com/message/2312502 which suggested using Window->Workspace Layout->Reset 'Designer' to fix the problem "Unable to find file SME.htm in the Configuration/Floaters directory." The moment I did this, CPU usage dropped to negligible and things worked until I quit and restarted DW. Whether this is related to the registry entry is not clear, but it seems to work.
So I have a work-around and some idea of where the problem may lie but a real solution would be appreciated! Hopefully, one that doesn't involve changing the user name or using Windows 8!
Thanks,
Andrew

UIX/XML and BC4J -- practical???

Has anyone actually used UIX/XML and BC4J to develop a "real" application? The majority of the examples in the help screens use jsp's, yet the comparisons I've read in the help screens seem to indicate that XML is more flexible.
UIX/XML seems like such a clever concept, I like the idea, but it's getting the best of me. Should I jump ship now?
Any comments please!
js

Examples are definitely what's needed and I put my request for a full blown MVC application using UIX/XML (without BC4J in my case) to Adam a while ago which was forwarded to the 'management'. Hopefully something will come from this soon. I agree with Janet that UIX is a great concept (don't jump ship yet!) and it should save us so much work but that real world examples would surely help us all. No disrespect, Juan, but you regularly respond to people's questions with 'Have you read the UIX developer's guide provided in the documentation' - we've all read the documentation many times, if only it were that simple! I'm sure it's easier for someone inside Oracle to get the answers they need whereas we on the 'outside' have to rely on this forum for now which is a struggle.
Bill's idea of illustrations would be great, though I'd like to see the examples relate to the sample screens show on the BLAF standards website. I only found out about the BLAF website accidentally through this forum. The UIX Developer's Guide should explicity reference this as I've found it extremely useful.
Ed,
The UIX Developer's Guide is in the JDeveloper Help.

Large XML and Query performance

This problem came to me from a Developer and she claims XML query on XMLType field is very slow when using large XML and is there any alternates. Details are below:
=============
Query:
select attributepool_id, attributepool_name, vintage , p.attributepool.extract('//attributepool/segmentationsystem/id/text()').getStringVal() ,
p.attributepool.extract('//attributepool/datasource/id/text()').getStringVal()
from saved_attributepools p
where user_id = 'CLPROFILE2' and vintage = 'SPRING_2003' order by attributepool_name
Table name:                saved_attributepools
Space:                    ecommerce
A Column Name:                attributepool
attributepool Column Type:      XmlType
One of xml contains 4Mbytes:     CORE LIFESTLY
When we try to get the data against this row, query is taking longer.
conn ecommerce@ecom3 --> 82 seconds (table has 65 rows)
conn ecommerce@oradev--> 34 seconds (table has only 4 rows)
We think that;
Oracle parse the entire XML document and load this document into an 'in-memory' DOM structure before executing the specified xpaths.
Adding INDEX into XmlType won't help as we don't use whereclasue against XmlType for this case.
We don't know 10g has solution for this or not.
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

We don't know 10g has solution for this or not.
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Why the tree show different while i use XML and XMLList as the data provider

Code is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns:services="services.*" layout="vertical">
<services:CommonSvc id="ws" NameSpace="ws.wsSysDict" creationComplete="ws.getXmlList()"/>
<mx:Tree width="100%" height="100%" labelField="@Name" dataProvider="{ws.xml}" fontSize="18" showRoot="false"/>
</mx:Application>
Shown below:
as you see above,the font show Incomplete, if i change the dataprovider as follows:
<mx:Tree width="100%" height="100%" labelField="@Name" dataProvider="{ws.xml.obj}" fontSize="18" showRoot="false" />
it show complete when i use xmllist as the tree's dataprovider
why it show like that while i use the xml as the tree's dataprovider,hope anybody's helping

XML is a single node, XMLList is multiple nodes. ShowRoot will affect the
display

Need suggestion on Multi currency and Unicode character set use in ABAP

Hi All,
Need suggestion. In one of the requirement I saw 'multi-currency and Unicode character set experience in FICO'.
Can you please elaborate me how ABAPers are invlolved in multi currency as I think this is FICO fuctional area.
And also what is Unicode character set exp.? Please give me some document of you have any.
Thanks

Use the default parser.
By default, WebLogic Server is configured to use the default parser and transformer to parse and transform XML documents. The default parser and transformer are those included in the JDK 5.0.
The built-in WebLogic Server DOM factory implementation class is com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl.
The DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance method returns the built-in parser.
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();

How to include different Character Sets in Flex AIR project

Hi All,
Flex, AIR(Desktop) Project.
PROBLEM Scenario:
My Application needs a path from Windows registry, So I am launching a .cmd file using Native Process API.
As a result I get a text file with the path.
So, everything works fine(reading/writing), but if the path contains different languages like Korean, Chinese then the READING OPERATION IS FAILED only when I install the application. It works fine while debugging.
(By failing I mean its not getting the characters, its printing some junk values.)
I am using readMultibyte & writeMultibyte APIs, and I am assiging the character set dynamically as per the OS language. (Which is Enslish in current scenario)
FINDING:
I installed Windows with Korean Language on a system, so now if I build the .exe on this machine then it works fine. So, i guess its not able to get the Korean Character set from the English OS, thats why it failed in earlier case.
Is there any way to include different character sets in a Flex project?
Regards,
Mayank

Some loaded SWFs may not be compatible with Flex. Try making a simpler SWF (like one that just draws a circle where you click) and see if it can be loaded and interacted with.

How to force simple tags and null attributes to appear when using SQL/XML?

Hello everybody:
I'm developing a non-schema based XMLType view.
When the XML document is generated, i noticed two things I need to manage in order to achieve the desired result:
1. Oracle generates a <tag></tag> pair for each XMLELEMENT defined; in my case, some tags need to appear as <tag/>... how do I do? Is it possible when using schema based XMLType views? Is it possible while using a non-schema approach?
2. When using XMLATTRIBUTE('' AS "attribute") or XMLATTRIBUTE(NULL AS "attribute"), no one attribute with label "attribute" and null value appears at the output; how do I force to Oracle DB to render those attributes which are with no values (needed to render those attributes as another parsing code will await for all the items)?
3. Some tip about how to route the output to an XML text disk file will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hello odie_63, thanks for your reply:
Reasons why needed single tags are these two next: Needed to generate a single XML file from 50,000,000 rows, where the XML ouput matches not only row data but another default values for another elements and attributes (not from database but using strings and types with default values); by using start and end tag, the generated file is as much twice bigger than using single tags; second, needed a very precise presentation for all the document.
For generating that document, currently focus is based on using a batch process relying on Spring Batch with using a single JDBC query where a join happens between two tables. From my point of view, that approach uses: database resources, network resources, disk resources, and processing resources, including the price of making the join, sending to network, creating objects, validating, and making the file (Expending too much time generating that XML file). That processs currently is in development.
I think possibly another approach is delegating the complete generation of that file to the database using its XML capabilities. My current approach following your recomendations is to generate a clob where I will put all the XML and putting it into a table. It leads me to another issues: Considering limitations on memory, processing and disk space, needed to append a single row-as-xml into the clob as soon as possible, and putting the clob inside the field as soon as possible, or putting the clob inside the field, and appending into it as the data is generated; so How do I manage the process in order to achieve that goals?. Seen these issues aren't related to my original question, so I'll open a new post. Any help will be apreciated.
Thanks again in advance.

Generate XML output using DBMS_XMLGEN.getxmltype and not from rdf

Hi,
I have a requirement to display output from a particular table in XL format. Out of all the known possible options, I am planning to use the XML publisher to generate XL output.
For the data source, instead of using the conventional way of creating XML data using rdf,I am planning to use DBMS_XMLGEN.getxmltype pl/sql procedure to generate the XML output. And from the output, call the template to generate the required Excel output.
Now, I am using the following code to generate XML output but am not sure how to proceed from here. I need to first print the XML data in the FND Output file after which I was planning to call the 'XML Report Publisher' (XDOREPPB) program and use the current request id to get the excel output but I am not able to find the way to print the XML data in the output file as:
fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, l_xml_type); - is throwing an error as l_xml_type is an XML data output.
PROCEDURE xml_main (
errbuf OUT VARCHAR2
,retcode OUT VARCHAR2
,p_project_from IN VARCHAR2
,p_project_to IN VARCHAR2
AS
l_xml_type XMLTYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT DBMS_XMLGEN.getxmltype
('SELECT fnd_global.conc_request_id
,TO_CHAR (segment1)
,to_char(start_date,''MM/DD/RRRR'')
,to_char(xxmcc_project_details_pkg.current_profit_projection
(project_id),''999,999,990.90'')
,to_char(xxmcc_project_details_pkg.cost_to_date (project_id),''999,999,990.90'')
,''1''
FROM pa_projects_all
WHERE segment1 BETWEEN NVL (p_project_from, segment1)
AND NVL (p_project_to, segment1)')
INTO l_xml_type
FROM DUAL;
fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, l_xml_type);
END xml_main;
Can anyone point me as to how to publish XML output using a PL/SQL procedure (DBMS_XMLGEN.getxmltype)
Thanks.

Pl see if the example included in this presentation helps http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/applications/Events/OOW-2006/EBS/S281401_Sridhar_Bogelli.pdf
Also, you do not need to explicitly call XDOREPPB in later versions of XML Publisher. If you set up everything correctly (as described in the presentation above and the link below) the Output Post Processor is called automatically after the XML file is generated successfully.
Another excellent tutorial is at http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/fusion_middleware/fusion/bi/xmlp_ebiz/index.html
