Using XML Components to generate WML Output

Hello
Is there a way to configure the XSL stylesheet in a Portal XML Component so that if the compoment is being called from the Portal Page it shows HTML Output and if it's being called by a WAP Phone it generates WML?

For the purpose you mentioned, you shouldn't use XML component. Rather you should user mobile XML portlet. Basically, if you want to display content in WAP phones, you can use mobileXML portlet available under portal tools in Portlet repository. The XML content which you provide in mobile xml portlet, needs to follow the iAS wireless edition DTD. Then you can put this portlet on a page. Now if the page is accessed from HTML browser, it will transform this content and if it is accessed from WAP phone, it will convert the XML content to WML.
Hoep it helps.
Thanks,
Ved

PL/SQL web service - how to use XML schema to define inputs/outputs?

Hello,
let us say I want to publish a PL/SQL web service. The package spec that I want to expose is:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE myWebService AS
FUNCTION loadResults(
 username IN VARCHAR2,
 password IN VARCHAR2,
 resultData IN XMLType)
RETURN XMLType;
END;When I use JDeveloper's wizard to publish my PL/SQL web service, the resulting WSDL contains this:
<schema
 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
 xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xmlns:soap11-enc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
 xmlns:tns="http://uk/co/weatherbys/aapws/AAPWS.wsdl/types/"
 targetNamespace="http://uk/co/weatherbys/aapws/AAPWS.wsdl/types/"
 elementFormDefault="qualified">
 <element name="loadresultsElement">
 <complexType>
 <sequence>
 <element name="username" type="string" nillable="true"/>
 <element name="password" type="string" nillable="true"/>
 <element name="resultdata" nillable="true">
 <complexType>
 <sequence>
 <any/>
 </sequence>
 </complexType>
 </element>

 </element>
 <element name="loadresultsResponseElement">

 <element name="result" nillable="true">
 <complexType>
 <sequence>
 <any/>
 </sequence>
 </complexType>
 </element>
 </sequence>
 </complexType>
 </element>
</schema>It is specifying that anything at all can be passed in and out from the two XMLType arguments, which is fair enough: it has no way of knowing what I am expecting and what I shall return.
My question is, how do I tell JDeveloper that actually I want either or both of those XMLTypes to conform to a particular XML schema?

You cannot format the date as a string, unless you do the conversion on the PL-SQL side, before you use it in your WebService mapping. It should be handled as a string.
The only way to convert the XML from SOAP, using this encoding, into literal XML is to apply XSLT to the payload. Not sure why you would like to do this, as the payload should be consumed by another SOAP-awared stack.
Hope this helps,
Eric

Using XML tags to generate index entries

Before I start this, just want to say that I tried to search through the forum to see if this issue had been raised before, but apparently the search functionality has been "disabled by your administrator".
I've got a document that I need to create an index for and I have certain topics and names that need to go into an index. I'd like to script the creation of index entries for these items, as each document could be up to 800 pages long and indexing that would be, em, tedious. Enter the personal computer....
I've tried using the FindTextPreferences, but I don't think it can search for tags, so this may have to be done at import (or export).
Anybody done this before or have a couple lines that would show how to do it?
Thanks
D

Thanks for the reply, Bob. I looked into that and there are good examples of finding XML elements. I suppose the problem I'm having, though, is about selecting those elements and inserting them into the index. I'm trying to create the index and add the index entries. I tried to do it originally by finding all text with a certain paragraph style, but that included symbols, inadvertently. So I wanted to do something through XML rules, but when doing a find and replace, I can use the:
Set found_words = myDocument.FindText();
and then use
Set myIndex= myDocument.Indexes.Add()
to create the index and loop through the paragraphs to add entries to the index. I'm having trouble creating the index and finding a way to take the words and add them to the index, that's all.

Unable to generate XLS output for Quoting Module

We are using XML Publisher to generate Quote report. We need the output in XLS (Excel) format but it generates only PDF.
We debugged the following files:
qotSCopOverview.jsp
qotSCocPrint.jsp
qotSCopPrint.jsp
jtfcrmchrome.jsp
oracle.apps.aso.print.webui.MainCO.class
We have set DES_FORMAT to XLS instead of PDF, however it is not generating XLS but the output is PDF only.
We would like to know the exact JAVA/JSP file which calls XML Publisher engine, so that we could directly change the FORMAT parameter.
Kindly let us know whether it is possible to generate XLS in this way. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanking you,
SURESH KUMAR M R

Finally we found the solution for this problem.
1. Open qotSCocPrint.jsp and add below line inside <SELECT id="qotOutFrmt" name="qotOutFrmt"> statement. This line should be added after "for" loop.
<OPTION value="EXCEL">Excel Format</option>
We can add as many options the XML Publisher supports.
2. Decompile oracle.apps.aso.print.webui.MainCO.class (Controller).
Change the below line
httpservletresponse.setContentType("application/pdf");
to
httpservletresponse.setContentType("application/"+quoteOutputFormat.toLowerCase());
Take a backup of the original file, compile the java in the same directory.
3. Decompile oracle.apps.aso.print.server.PrintQuoteAMImpl.class and change this line
Field field = class2.getDeclaredField("OUTPUT_TYPE_PDF");
to
String outputFormat="OUTPUT_TYPE"+as[12].trim();
Field field = class2.getDeclaredField(outputFormat);
Bounce Apache and generate the Quote output in desired format.

Left alignment issue with XML report having Excel as output..

Hello
I am using XML Publisher report and the output format as Excel. When my output opens in Excel all numeric values are right justified and all characters values are left justified. I want numeric values also left justified.. How to achieve this?

did you create dimension and put levels in the fact and dim sources? did you specify the number of element at each level?

Using XML based output of rq*Eval() for generating graphical views

I've been trying the standard example used in training manuals of generating RandomRedDots.
(Scripts that donot involve images are working fine)
While using rqTableEval() the output format
1. using select clause (select cast(value as longvarchar(32000)) from dual)
2. 'png'
is throwing ORA-29400: data cartridge error
ORA-24333: zero iteration count
ORA-06512: at "RQSYS.RQTABLEEVALIMPL", line 7

3. 'xml' type is generating output as desired with two columns name, value.
When this xml query is used in physical table with columns - name as int, value as longvarchar(32000) as output is clob ,
the execution(view data) results as 'no data'.
Can i get help in how to utilize this xml output so that graphs can be made available in obiee dashboard ultimately.

Report VS Excel output using XML Publisher tool (DBMS_XMLGEN)

Hi All,
Currently I am working on report generation in MRP module with Excel output using XML Publisher tool.
XML tool works based on query.
I have developed PLSQL block by using DBMS_XMLGEN – database package, to generate XML output of query.
My question is how we can put generated xml on above PLSQL block into OUT file (APPS).
Because DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE( ) has limitation, it allow 255 character string only.
But I do not know, Is FND_FILE.PUT_LINE (FND_FILE.OUTPUT,’’) allow for large data?
If it does not allow what will be the other solution in oracle application to resolve above problem.
Let me know any queries regarding to this problem.
Thanks and Regards,
Sai Krishna @cavaya.com

Hi Prakash,
Thanks for the reply. We did apply the one-off patch and got rid of the problem of not viewing 'Excel' output using XMLP.
Now we are looking at a different perspective:
Basically our client is looking for the following:
1. Mathematical functions in the resulting XLS (like SUM, AVG etc..) ouput
2. Use of macros if possible.
And to do this i am looking out for a sample template that gives me output in excel format I have a TAR with Oracle for this purpose, but the TAR has so far been unsuccessful in providing us with any material in the direction.
Our client remembers seeing this as a demo at the Oracle Conference this yr at San Fransisco, but does not have a sample to provide us. We are looking for such a sample.
Thx,
Nitin

Can we generate the output of SQL Query in XML format ..

Hi Team,
Can we generate an XML doc for an SQL Query.
I've seen in SQL Server 2000.It is generating the output of an SQL Query in xml format.
select * from emp for xml auto
The output looks like
<emp EMPNO="7369" ENAME="SMITH" JOB="CLERK" MGR="7902" HIREDATE="1980-12-17T00:00:00" SAL="2800" DEPTNO="20"/><emp EMPNO="7370" ENAME="SMITH" JOB="CLERK" MGR="7902" HIREDATE="1980-12-17T00:00:00" SAL="2800" DEPTNO="10"/>

Just a little bit of short hand.
Get the XML out of your database, via HTTP
Of course the easiest method is just to return an XMLType from a stored procedure and let the calling routine figure out what to do with it. Instead
of that way though, I'll show you how to do it via HTTP. It's all completely built into 10g and is super easy to use.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW emps_and_depts AS
SELECT e.employee_id AS "EmployeeId",
e.last_name AS "Name",
e.job_id AS "Job",
e.manager_id AS "Manager",
e.hire_date AS "HireDate",
e.salary AS "Salary",
e.commission_pct AS "Commission",
XMLFOREST (
d.department_id AS "DeptNo",
d.department_name AS "DeptName",
d.location_id AS "Location"
) AS "Dept"
FROM employees e, departments d
WHERE e.department_id = d.department_id
Some people hear web and immediately start salivating about security issues. Let me address that quickly. Just because you have the HTTP and/or
FTP servers running in the database, that does not mean you have a security problem. For one, I would hope your databases are behind a firewall.
Second, with the correct architecture (DMZ, app servers, etc) you can make this data available outside the firewall fairly transparently and third,
just because it's on the web does not mean the data MUST be available on the internet. This is a good way to make your data available on your
intranet. If you are worried about people INSIDE your firewall, that still doesn't preclude web based access. Follow Oracle security guidelines.
Before I show you how to get to your data, let's talk about URLs and URIs. A URL is a Uniform Resource Locater and URI is a Uniform Resource
Identifier. A URL is the way you would identify a document on the net, i.e. http://www.oracle.com is a URL. A URI is a more generic form of a URL.
Oracle supports three types of URI: HTTPURIType - basically a URL (which would be like the URL above), XDURIType - a pointer to an XDB resource
(usually an XML document but can be other objects), and DBURIType - a pointer to database objects.
It's the DBURIType that we're going to concentrate on here. The DBURIType let's us reference database objects using a file/folder paradigm. The
format for a DBURI is /oradb/<schema>/<table>. Oradb is shorthand for the database; it is not the database name or SID. My database is named XE
but I still use oradb in the DBURI. For example, the view we created above is in my XE database, is owned by HR (at least in my case) and is called
EMPS_AND_DEPTS. This can be referenced as /oradb/HR/EMPS_AND_DEPTS.
If the view had many rows and you wanted only one of them, you can restrict it by including a predicate. The documentation for XDB has a great
write up on Using DBURIs.In our case, we are going to write out the entire document. Now that you understand that the DBURI is a pointer to
objects in our instance, we can use that to access the data as a URL.
The format for the URL call is http://<machinename>:<port>/<DBURI>
In my case, my XE database is running on a machine called mach1 and is listening on port 8080. So to see the view we created above, I open my
browser and navigate to: http//mach1:8080/oradb/HR/EMPS_AND_DEPTS
The created URL will be as http//mach1:8080/oradb/PUBLIC/EMPS_AND_DEPTS
If your database is set up correctly and listening on port 8080 (the default), your browser should ask you to login. Login as the user who created the
view (in my case HR). You should now get an XML document displayed in your browser.
And that's it. It doesn't get much simpler than that. If you get rid of the descriptive text above, it basically comes down to:
Create a table or view
Open your web browser
Enter a URL
Enter a user ID and password
View your XML
If you notice, Oracle formatted the data as XML for us. Our view returns scalar columns and an XML fragment called Dept. Oracle formatted the
return results into an XML format.
And as a side note, if you look closely, you'll see that my URL has PUBLIC where I said to put HR. PUBLIC is a synonym for all objects that your
logged in user can see. That way, if your user has been granted select access on many schemas, you can use PUBLIC and see any of them.

How to inclulde digital signature in PDF outputs using XML Publisher

I'm working on AR invoice print report which is a custom report. One of the requirements of this report is to include the digital signature in the output which is in PDF format.
We have below code components for this custom report.
Oracle Report (RDF) - to extract the invoice data
RTF template - for report layout
Bursting file - to split the output into individual PDFs
Is there any document available to implement the digital signaure in my case?
I'm looking for the steps to implement this in my custom report using XML Publisher.

Take a look at the report designer's guide; section "Adding or Designating a Field for a Digital Signature" here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12844_01/doc/bip.1013/e12187.pdf
Thanks,
Bipuser
If I am not mistaken, this would require using PDF templates and use of Adobe Acrobat Professional.. Maybe others can chime in with other/better options..

Creating a text output using XML Publisher

Hi All,
Recently i created a report for my client using XMl Publisher. The Data Definition was XML and the template type was RTF and i got the output in a PDF format. All was going smoothly until the client decided at the last moment that they wanted to print this in a dot matrix printer!
I've read some articles on XSL- Text layout templates. But i can't get my head around it (I'm Functio-Technical as opposed to Techno-Functional )
How do i convert my RTF template to give me a text output?
Miranga

From what I know, you will have to create another template based on "XSL" layout or eText layout (both of them require different coding methods). The RTF can not create text outputs even in 11g. This is based on my experience so far. You can create RTF output (available by default) based on the current layout that you use for PDF and see if it can be printed in a dot matrix printer though.

Excel Output for Standard Reports using XML Publisher

Hi All,
Customer wants to get Excel Output for the existing Standard/Custom Reports using XML Publisher. I followed the following procedure.
1. Changed the output to XML for Concurrent program ( Trial Balance - Detail )
2. Used the Existing seeded Template
3. Ran the Report using EXCEL as the output.
When I clicked on View Output, I am not able to see the Excel output. I am seeing the HTML tags in the output window. Verified that Viewer Options existed for Excel as follows:
File Format=Excel, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel.
When I ran the report with PDF output. I can see the PDF output.
Ran the HTML output with new Viewer Option ( File Format=HTML, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel) then I can see the output in Browser in the Excel format. I did this test after going through the Metalink Note: Note:316752.1
My question is.. Do I need always choose the HTML ouput in the options window to trigger the Viewer option for HTML. Customer may not like this idea. He would like to choose the Excel Output and see the output in Excel format either in the Browser or Microsoft Excel.
Can someone in this situation before help me out.
Thanks,
V

Questions rephrase:
1. Is the output is same for HTML and Excel options ?
2. Why the output is viewable with HTML option and not with Excel option ?
Customer has XML Publisher Version 5.0.1 and in the process of applying 5.6.1
Thanks,

If I were to guess, I'd guess that your filename is invalid. How about removing all special characters (spaces, brackets, etc.) from the device name. Also, make sure your form was compiled for HTML.
I haven't actually used the HTML driver, but these are general things you should do if you have trouble with any Central driver.

Generate txt output using a program unit in web report (OAS 10g)

Hi Everyone.
I have a c/s report (6i) which generates a txt file in a program unit using TEXT_IO package. I need to move this report to web (Reports 10g) and publishing it in OAS 10g. I've done that (without the text file generation), I can see the report on the browser in PDF Format and works fine... but, I still have a problem... when I use Text_io package, the c/s version of the report in 10g runs an generates the output.txt file but when I move it to web I got an error in the before report trigger (in which I invoke the program unit sp_generate_txt)
I looked around for a solution and I just find the usage of webutil package, but as you know, webutil package is only usable in Forms.
Any Ideas on how can I solve this problem?

Hello,
TEXT_IO can be used in Reports deployed on the web.
The difference with Client /Server is the fact that the file create by TEXT_IO will be created on the "Middle Tier Server" and not on the Client.
