Using of xml as target in transforms
Hi all,
I am new to BODS and still exploring its features.
I am looking into the finance rapid marts and found in few fact table that xml is used as a target.
I am not sure what is the reason of using xml as target, how does it helps in improving any performance of the transform?
Can anybody throw some light on this.
Thanks
Gaurav
u may ignore this cs.
as per my exp,i havent noticed any change with/without using this cs

Detecting transform errors when using org.xml.sax.XMLFilter
I am using javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXTransformerFactory.newXMLFilter to transform xml against a pipeline of stylesheets (See function testPipelineTransform in the example below). The process works okay, excepting that I cannot figure out how to detect errors in the transformation process.
I would like to achieve the same result for the pipeline process as I would for a single transformation using javax.xml.transform.Transformer.setErrorListener. The example below demonstrates how the call to javax.xml.transform.Transformer.setErrorListener does not generate the same result when using org.xml.sax.XMLFilter as it does when using a single transformation.

Updating XML prior to XSLT transformation
I am attempting to convert an XML document using XSLT but I need to transform it a bit beforehand. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to do this?
Below is the logic that will transform the XML directly from the file, but I need to manipulate it first.
Thanks in advance.

System.err.println(
"Usage: java Transform [xmlfile] [xsltfile]");

File xmlFile = new File(args[0]);
File xsltFile = new File(args[1]);
// JAXP reads data using the Source interface
Source xmlSource = new StreamSource(xmlFile);
Source xsltSource = new StreamSource(xsltFile);
// the factory pattern supports different XSLT processors
TransformerFactory transFact =
TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer trans = transFact.newTransformer(xsltSource);
trans.transform(xmlSource, new StreamResult(System.out));
}The first scenerio is what I intended. Since I posted my question I realized that I can manipulate the string and then create a StringSource passing a StringReader like so:
StringReader src = new StringReader(xmlStr);
StringWriter target = new StringWriter();
currentTransformer.transform(new StreamSource(src),
new StreamResult(target));Thanks. -
How do I use XSLT & XML is stored in InterMedia Text.....
I use interMedia Text to store XML document. How do I use the XSLT Processor API to transform the data which is searched by XML SQL Utility??
//***Source Code
public Document xmlquery(String tabName,String xslfilename)
Document xmlDocToReturn = null;
String xmlString;
try
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
//initiate a JDBC connection
// initialize the OracleXMLQuery
OracleXMLQuery qry = new OracleXMLQuery(conn,"select XML_TEXT from bookstore where contains (xml_text,'John WITHIN authorsec')>0");
// structure the generated XML document
qry.setMaxRows(2);
// set the maximum number of rows to be returned
// get the XML document in string format
xmlString = qry.getXMLString();
// print out the XML document
System.out.println(" OUTPUT IS:\n"+xmlString);
// get the XML document in string format
xmlDocToReturn = qry.getXMLDOM();
conn.close();
catch (SQLException e) {
return xmlDocToReturn;
xml = (XMLDocument)query.xmlquery(args[1],args[0]);
// Instantiate the stylesheet
XSLStylesheet xsl = new XSLStylesheet(xsldoc, xslURL);
XSLProcessor processor = new XSLProcessor();
// Display any warnings that may occur
processor.showWarnings(true);
processor.setErrorStream(System.err);
// Process XSL
DocumentFragment result = processor.processXSL(xsl, xml);
Thank you.
nullYour problem here is that when you store an XML document in a CLOB and search it using intermedia, when you do a query like:
SELECT xml_text
FROM bookstore
WHERE CONTAINS(xml_text,'John WITHIN authorsec')>0
The output from the XML SQL Utility using getXMLDOM() looks like this:<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<XML_TEXT><![CDATA[
<bookstuff>
<authorsec>
<name>Steve</name>
</authorsec>
etc.
</bookstuff>
]]>
</XML_TEXT>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>with the document as a single text value (it's actually just a text node, not a CDATA node) but the above illustrates conceptually that the whole XML document is one big text node.
To transform this you'll need to parse that XML text into an XML document in memory by passing constructing a StringReader() on the text value and parsing that reader.

Validate xslt against JDK5 so we can remove the 'Use SAP XML Toolkit' flag
We are working on PI7.1 and have hit an issue with an XSLT mapping. We were getting an error when testing that said:
TransformerException during XSLT processing:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.TransletException: com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.TransletException: java.io.FileNotFoundException
We found a few threads on SDN pointing us to using the 'Use SAP XML Toolkit' flag, which we'd not even noticed before. Ticking this flag did get us around the problem. Further investigation suggested to us, however, that this flag will not be available in future releases, so I guess our best solution would be to try and resolve the issues in our mapping against the current version of java (JDK5). When we use other tools such as XMLSPY they do not detect a problem with the XSLT. Can anyone point me to a tool that would enable us to validate our XSLT file against JDK5, which will provide us with error messages that will enable us to fix the error and therefore remove the 'Use SAP XML Toolkit' flag?
thanks,
Malcolm.> Can anyone point me to a tool that would enable us to validate our XSLT file against JDK5, which will provide us with error messages that will enable us to fix the error and therefore remove the 'Use SAP XML Toolkit' flag?
I am sorry to have to say that even inside SAP nobody can answer this question.
In principle it will work when it is pure XSLT 1.1 but some commands from XSLT 2.0 might work also. -
Problem for using oracle xml parser v2 for 8.1.7
My first posting was messed up. This is re-posting the same question.
Problem for using oracle xml parser v2 for 8.1.7
I have a sylesheet with
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">.
It works fine if I refer this xsl file in xml file as follows:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="http://...../GN.xsl"?>.
When I use this xsl in pl/sql package, I got
ORA-20100: Error occurred while processing: XSL-1009: Attribute 'xsl:version' not found in 'xsl:stylesheet'.
After I changed name space definition to
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> in xsl file, I got
ORA-20100: Error occurred while processing: XSL-1019: Expected ']' instead of '$'.
I am using xml parser v2 for 8.1.7
Can anyone explain why it happens? What is the solution?

Steve,
We are also creating an XML DOM from java and are having trouble getting the tags created as we want. When we use XMLText it creates the tag as <tagName/>value rather than <tagName>value</tagName>. We want separate open and close tags. Any ideas?

Open xml relationship target is NULL when inserting chart
Hi,
I have looked into the specification ISO/IEC 29500-1:2012 and i understand that the attribute Target for the element Relationship can be set to NULL at times(Empty header and footer in the specification).
Now, i have stumbled on Target being NULL also when inserting a diagram into a word document. For example:
<Relationship Id="rId3" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/oleObject"
Target="NULL" TargetMode="External" xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/package/2006/relationships" />
I'm using Open xml sdk and i'm trying to create a relationship. My question is how i should resolve the target which i think should point to the diagram/chart that i inserted.
Br,
/Peter
PeterHi Cindy,
It is "easy" to reproduce :)
1. Create a word document
2. Add a CustomXml to the document with for example "Word content control toolkit"
2:1 The CustomXml should look something like this <Root xmlns=http://schemas.company.se><Description></Description></Root>
3. Open up the word document and open up the "XML Mapping Pane" under Developer tab. Add rich text content control which mapps to the <Description> element.
4. Save and close the document
5. Take a copy of thedocument
6. Open up the document again, place the insert point within the content control mapped to <Description> element and insert a Chart.
7. Save and close the document
8. Rename the document with the extension .zip and navigate to word/charts/_rels/ and open up chart2.xml.rels.
9. Search for Target="NULL", you should find 1 occurrence
You can also download a sample here: http://1drv.ms/1raxoUr

Stop weblogic services using StartStopServices.xml parameter leaves cmd.exe
When using the "Start > All Programs > Oracle Business Intelligence > Stop BI services" function it calls the StartStopServices.cmd file. This file then references the StartStopServices.xml file using the following statement;
<target name="stop_all" depends="set.is.stop.all, opmn.stop, wls.mgd.stop, wls.wait.mgd.shutdown, del.generated.managed.server.credentials, wls.stop, wls.wait.admin.shutdown, del.generated.admin.server.credentials">
</target>
<target name="set.is.stop.all">
<property name="is.stop.all" value="true"/>
</target
The problem that I'm having is that when the weblogic services are successfully stopped, 2 cmd.exe windows are left open on the server. I've created a batch file to call the StartStopServices.cmd and added parameters such as
Sleep.exe 30
c:\windows\system32\TASKKILL.exe /F /IM cmd.exe /T
Theoretically this should pause for a few, and then close the open cmd windows. However whenever the StartStopServices.cmd is called it closes the original command window before any statements are executed. So essentially I don't get to the taskkill or sleep parameters. I'm assuming that I need to edit the XML file somewhere to make it so it doesn't stop_all and close, but simply stops all and allows my added entries in the cmd windows to execute so ALL cmd windows are closed.
I'm scheduling a backup using RMAN in NOARCHIVELOG mode, and need to stop the weblogic processes in order to complete this backup function. However I need to end these cmd windows otherwise over the course of time they will be cascaded everywhere. Has anybody accomplished this?Hope still you need a solution for your question.
Follow these steps to achive as expected file using StartStopServices.xml, do let me know for any questions.
File loc: MW_HOME\instances\instance3\bifoundation\OracleBIApplication\coreapplication
1) I've added a new target attribute( as 'veera' to existing code) at the end of the tag
<target name="stop_all" depends="determine.language, set.is.stop.all,find.or.get.credentials, opmn.stop, wls.mgd.stop, wls.wait.mgd.shutdown, del.generated.managed.server.credentials, wls.stop, wls.wait.admin.shutdown, del.generated.admin.server.credentials, veera">
</target>
2) Added new code as show below
<target name="veera" if="wls.domain.exists" depends="wls.check.exists" description="Stop WLS">
<echo message="Srini..." />
<exec spawn="true" executable="cmd.exe" osfamily="windows" dir="${DOMAIN_HOME}/bin">
<arg value="/c" />
<arg value="taskkill /f /IM cmd.exe" />
</exec>
</target>
If it is helpful, please mark as correct or helpful

Hi Frnds,
I am working on migartion project SAP BC to PI7.1,we are reusing many XSLT Mapppings in PI7.1 from SAP BC.but when tesing XSL its giving error,when i select Use SAP XML toolkit option its working fine with warning messages.I read help.sap.com documentation SAP using using Use SAP XML toolkit option not a betetr design.
Why my XSLT not working when i tested without Use SAP XML toolkit option.
what are thing i need to chnage in XSL.
error message when i dont select Use SAP XML toolkit* option

if i select option iam getting warning message but my XSL working fine.
help me on this issue.

I am uisng Use SAP XML toolkit* option now for time besing as per sap doc its not a good idea to use.
my question is why its not working without Use SAP XML toolkit* option.
if i want to make my XSL work without this option Use SAP XML toolkit,what are the things i need to chnage in my XSL.

Not quite a PL/SQL XML question but anyway...
Since the member function modifies the object instance, the implicit argument "self" must be declared explicitly as "IN OUT" :

Hi all,
Can u give me the step by step procedure to use XML as Target from Oracle table .
Please tell me how to configure it in Topology manager also .
Thanks in Advance .step 1: create an sample xml file as u wan the xml to generated
step 2: In topology manager select XML data server and insert a new data service
select JDBC drive as : com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.xml.SnpsXmlDriver
URL : jdbc:snps:xml?f=C:\test.xml&s=test01
in the above url f is the path of ur xml and &s is the schema name
test the connection...if u get the test completed successfully message then give the logical schema name and context and also select ur schema and work schema's
step 3: create a model and give the connection to the data server and reverse the xml in to ur model
step 4: now u can create an interface and drag ur xml as target and map the xml column
select ikm as sql control append
step 5: once ur done with this interface create a procedure in which give the command like
create xmlfile "<target xml file name with path>" from schema <schema name>
step 6: create a package and drag the interface in to the package after that drag the procedure and run the interface first then procedure.
after this xml file will be generated ... -

Not able to prompt errors.
Hi,
Your error message are not displaying because u does not made Message-Resoucrce property file (Resource Bundle) when you make it .
give it entry in
struts-config.xml
<message-resources parameter="ApplicationResources" />
and
define key and corresponding error message to key in this ApplicationResources i.e
#Error Resources
label.search.ssNum=Plz Enter correct ssNum -
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.

Edited by: Enyix on 26/02/2012 11:22 PMHello 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.
