Using XML as a Data Source

In http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10540/datasource.htm#CHDBCAIJ it states you can use XML as your data source and mentions...
URLs can include repository or session variables, providing support for HTTP data sources that accept user IDs and passwords embedded in the URL. For example:
http://somewebserver/cgi.pl?userid=valueof(session_variable1)&password=valueof(session_variable2)
I'm trying to pass this:
http://somewebserver/cgi.pl?userid=valueof(NQ_SESSION.USER)
but when I try that I can see in my web server logs that the content of the userid variable is 'valueof(NQ_SESSION.USER)' so it's not passing the results to the web server, just the text. Any ideas what's going on? Is my syntax correct? Thanks!

Hey,
There are a few things to look at when using session and repository variables within the RPD.
One of the first documents you need to reference is the "What is the Syntax for Referencing Variable?" section within the OBI documentation. In addition look at this section on how to use variables in the RPD, http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10540/variables.htm#BIEMG3104
Basically you are trying to use NQ_SESSION.USER which is the syntax for trying to show the user name is Presentation Services. Of course you can see this in your web server logs because that is the correct syntax for presentation services web tier but not the RPD where you define your XML Source.
You need to try either use VALUEOF("USER") or you are simply forgeting to put the syntax surrounded by single-quotes like, http://somewebserver/cgi.pl?userid='valueof(NQ_SESSION.USER)' to pull the system session variable into the XML URL as needed.
Try those options and let me know if that works.
Please mark this as the correct answer or helpful.
Cheers,
Christian

  • Sub reports In Crystal reports XML as a data Source

    Hi,
    I am facing one problem related to Sub reports functionality in crystal reports as XML as a data Source. We are using CrystalReports XI for this.
    I was generated PDF's using crystal reports from ruby on rails, by using the JAVA API to produce the PDF by taking the XML,XSD,and RPT files as parameters. I  succeed in this case
    and the way we are communicating with JAVA API using  from my Ruby on Rails application by the following link.
    http://rorataspire.wordpress.com/2008/06/13/how-to-integrate-crystal-reports-with-ruby-on-rails/
    Right Now my problem is as follows.
    The problem with the sub reports generation from  crystal reports.  We had one main report file(RPT), In that we are using the Sub reports,for that sub reports need to parse the XML's and XSD's dynamically based on the report encountered on the main(RPT)file,but to send more than one XSD's and XML's dynamically  based on the  sub report, to the JAVA API from Ruby on Rails application I am not succeeded.  So as a result  PDF with the Dynamic data for Sub reports is not fulfill.
    Your help is appreciable, Thanks in advance.

    Is this a coding question or a data source format question?
    Sincerely,

  • How to configure crystal report xml file as data source in BOE in Solaris?

    Hi,
    How to configure crystal reports from xml file as data source in Solaris? I didn't find any suitable driver for xml / excel files for sun solaris.
    Which driver i have to use to connect xml file to crystal report to view my crystal report in solaris BOE?
    And the same way excel file as data source for crystal report.
    Thanks

    Hi Don thanks for the reply,
    In windows environment I donot have any problem when creating crystal report from Xml file and Excel file. After creating reports when I publish those into boe server in solaris, getting connection failed error.
    My solaris BOE server doent have any network connection with windows machines. So i have to place the files in solaris server.
    Below the steps what I tried:
    1. Created crystal reports from cr designer in windows using ADO.Net(xml) and in another try with Xml webservices drivers. Reports works well as it should.
    2. Saved in BOE repository in Solaris server from crystal reports and changed database configuration settings as:
        -Used custom database logon information and specified cr_xml as custom driver.
        -Chnaged database path to file directory path according to solaris server file path </app/../../>
        -tried table prefix also
        - Selected radio button use same database logon as when report is run saved.
    My environment :
    SAP BOXI3.1 sp3
    crystal reports 2008 sp3
    SunOS
    Cr developing in windows 7.
    For Excel I tried with ODBC in windows but I can't find any ODBC or JDBC drivers for Excel in solaris.
    Any help to solve my issues
    Thanks

  • Support for XML / Web Service Data Source?

  • Can you use SQL as a data source for a project in the same way you can in Excel?

    Excel allows you to create a data source that executes a SQL stored procedure, display that data as a table in a spreadsheet and have that data automatically refresh each time you open the spreadsheet. Is it possible to do the same thing in MS Project, displaying
    the data from the stored procedure as a series of tasks?
    Here's what I'm trying to do - I have a stored procedure that pulls task data meeting a specific criteria from all projects in Project Server. We're currently displaying this data as an Excel report. However, the data includes start dates and durations so
    it would be nice to be able to display it as a Gantt Chart. I've played around with creating a Gantt chart in Excel and have been able to do a very basic one, but it doesn’t quite fit our needs.

    No, You can not use sql as a data source for a project.
    You have 3 options to achieve it:
    1. You can create a Sharepoint list with desired column ,fill desired data in that list then you can create a MS project from Sharepoint List.
    2. You can create a SSRS report in which you can display grantt chart Joe has given you that link.
    3. You can write a macro in MPP which will take data from your excel. In excel you will fetch data from your stored procedure. write a schedule which will run every day to update your data or
    create an excel report in which will update automatically and write macro in mpp which will fetch the data then publish it so that it would be available to team members.

  • Using 2 web services data sources in the same report

    I've been trying unsuccesffuly to use 2 web services data sources in a report. The main report accesses the first web service to get job summary information. 3 fields are are passed as parameters to a sub-report and used as parameters for the sub-report selection. Each report works fine independently, but when I link them together the subreport alway fails to retrieve data.

    Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:

  • When / why use XML to store data instead of database table ?

    Hi All,
    I still not use XML much in applications and don't know much about its utilization.
    I read here and there about storing data as XML instead of into database tables.
    - could any body please tell me when / why use XML to store data instead of database table ?
    e.g : store inventory per warehouse in XML format. ?
    - What is the other cases or reasons of extracting database records into XML or vice versa ?
    - is there any good pdf on this ?
    Thank you for your help,
    xtanto

    It depends entirely what you want to accomplish with the 'XML in the database'. There are basically 3 independent methods: As CLOB, as XMLType views or as native XMLType 'columns'
    Each method has advantages and disadvantages, especially in the performance vs purpose tradeoff.
    The Oracled Press book "Oracle Database 10g XML & SQL Design, Build, & Manage XML Applications in Java, C, C++, & PL/SQL" is highly recommended for anyone interested in Oracle and XML. http://books.mcgraw-hill.com/getbook.php?isbn=0072229527&template=oraclepress

  • Is it possible to use xml publisher with xml document as data source ?

    I have an application that have to publish document from xml document that are not part a oracle 10g database but will be stored into Oracle Berkeley XML database insteed. Is it possible to use server and/or desktop to publish these documents ?
    I test the desktop edition using the source xml document but it render no data when the template is executed (vizualization)
    I installed the server edition and i'm not able to declare xml document as a data source
    So i have a doubt that xml publisher is able to publish something from a xml datasource
    Thanks

    Yes, it is possible.
    The problem should come from your template. Refer to "edit a RTF template" in the docs.
    A fact is that XML Publisher server edition is not very adapted to an XML file datasource. In order to use it, you should use an HTTP datasource, with the URL of your XML document (that you should place on a web server...). The problem is that this URL is fixed and point always on the same reference...so XML Publisher server edition is not very good for that use.
    I choose to use the XML Publisher Java API which is better for this task.

  • Use of cache_scheme in data-sources.xml

    Hi guys.
    I have posted a couple of similar topics before - without any response ! I can't believe with all of the gurus out there that NOBODY knows the answer to this ! :-)
    Anyway, we are providing a 'vanilla' type implementation of Oracle's Connection Pooling - just using Oracle's DataSource to open and close connections, and having Oracle dynamically take care of the pooling itself. ( Apparently, under this scenario, even max and min connections are set as required ).
    However, if I specify the cache_scheme property within data-sources.xml, will it take effect using this basic implementation ? In other words, will changing it's value effect the behaviour once the max limit is reached and more connections are requested ?
    Many thanks.
    Steve.

    Timo,
    thanks for your respone! I managed to configure the application to use a data-source connection created on the application server. Also in order to be able to deploy the same EAR to a number of containers on different DB's.
    I know it's possible to connect to a DB without using a data-sources.xml file .. but it seemed like my application was storing some 'old' connection information because it was able to connect to the db without having the data sources configured on the AS.
    Do you need to restart JDeveloper after unchecking the 'Bunde default data-sources.xml during deployment' checkbox? Because it is working correctly right now ... .
    Thanks,
    Koen Verhulst

  • Using Web Service as Data source (Pluggable Data Source) in Oracle Reports

    Anyone using Webservice as a pluggable data source in oracle 10g reports.(Report builder version:10.1.2.0.2)? We need to be able to use web service as one of the data source to create reports.Tried the following and ran into issues:
    Imported the wspds.jar fle from oracle plugin exchage. When tried using it received the following error in oracle reports trace file.
    04/26 22:27:22 java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: oracle.xml.parser.schema.XSDBuilder.build([Loracle/xml/parser/v2/XMLDocument;Ljava/net/URL;)Ljava/lang/Object;
    By troubleshooting issue found out that xmlparserv2.jar in 10g is newer than xmlparserv2.jar in 9i. wspds.jar is using xmlparserv2.jar in 9i as it was developed and tested for 9i only. Believe there is no newer wspds.jar file developed specifically for 10g?
    Is there a better/standard solution to use webservice as data source in oracle 10g reports? Does later version of oracle reports supports webservice as a data source without any additional plugins? Any suggestion would be helpful.

    Please provide support for the above request.
    It appears that Oracle 10g reports doesn't support Web Service as pluggable data source. Is this option is available in Oracle 11g Reports or Oracle Discoverer Or OBIEE?

  • EBS performance impact using it as a Data Source

    I have a quick question on EBS performance. If I set up the EBS Database as a data source for SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services), would there be a performance impact on EBS, due to SSRS accessing EBS Data for reports generation? Now, I know there'll always be a hit depending on the volume of data being accessed. But, my question is, will it be significantly higher using an external reporting tool using an ODBC connection rather than native XML Publisher.

    Tough to answer without looking at data; my suggestion would be to have a test EBS environment setup, get permission from the vendors to run performance test without buying license - compare AWRs from both scenarios and then decide.
    Generally speaking, native XML publisher (BI Publisher) has less of database performance hit than external reporting tools using ODBC.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can XML publisher hold data source

    Hi XML guru's,
    I understand that, XML publisher holds templates. Which are used to create XML reports.
    Could anyone let me know, whether XML server can able to hold data source like stored procedures etc.
    So it can fetch data with in the XML publisher and generate a report accordingly.

  • How to use web service as data source for forge or endeca ?

    hi,
    is there any way to use webservice as data source in pipeline ?
    i have requirment to get data from web service and dump it in endeca. for this i need some idea on how can be this achieved. is it possible to do so?

    Crawling is part of the CAS, which is kind of the data ingest process in Endeca as you would know. There are a bunch of OOTB Crawlers available like FileSystem based, XML Crawlers, etc., and there could be a case where you have to write your own and thats what I am suggesting because the XML crawl thats OOTB expects a specific format which isnt really mentioned in the Documentation. Please refer to CASDevGuide for more information. CAS, PlatformServices and ToolsAndFrameworks should be running when you start off with Endeca, you can see that from
    ps -ef | grep java
    on your machine
