Using XML-Files on RT-Tragets

Hi
i have an application which stores it's configuration in a XML-File. The Vi runs perfect on Windows as execution target.
But running the Vi on the RT-engine fails with error 1108 while loading the XML-formated config file.
error 1108
Possible reasons:
LabVIEW: XML value text is illegal or out of range for type and/or format.
The XML-file can't be illegal, because the same Vi works on an other excecution target.
Any ideas what's wrong?
Is the RT-engine unable to handle XML-files?
Regards Till

Till,
that's true. Not all VIs are supported in LV RT as it states in the LV RT User Manual (7.0, page 1-7, 1-8). In your case the XML VIs require the MS XML DOM parser that is getting installed with LabVIEW on Windows and is unfortunatelly not available on the RT platform (Pharlap).
I don't know if there is a XML workaround or if NI will integrate other OS independent XML parsers which would run on RT.
You might consider to use the .ini file approach for the RT platform - I assume this should work.

Creation of External table by using XML files.

I am in the process of loading of XML file data into the database table. I want to use the External Table feature for this loading. Though we have the external table feature with Plain/text file, is there any process of XML file data loading into the Database table by using External table?
I am using Oracle 9i.
Appreciate your responses.

Hi,
The XML file which U posted is working fine and that proved that external table can be created by using xml files.
Now My problem is that I have xml files which is not as the book.xml, my xml file is having some diff format. below is the extracts of the file ...

My problem is the Item Name and Direction the value of both(ex PSCReceived or UASReceived) will be treated as the coulmn name of the table and '0' would be the value of that column. I am confused how to create the external table creation program for that.
I would really appreciate your responses.

Debugging mode stopped automatically when using xml file load

Dear Sir,
I am trying to develop a new add-on using xml files for creating new forms. In fact I was using the sample code delivered with the SDK ( WorkingWithXml - under VB.NET). The Problem is that when I am in the debuging mode and after the form load. the application goes out of the debugging mode and stop action.
In fact what i was trying to do first is to create a new menu and then when i click on this menu a new form appear but once the menu is loaded the application stop the debugging mode automatically.
Can somebody clarify to me what I am doing wrong and why the debugging mode is stopped automatically, noting that i am still in the add-on developpement phase.
As i mentioned above i used the WorkingWithXml sample code (VB.NET) and i have adjusted in a way to load menu and then on the menu click i load my form.
Please advice
Best Regards

Hi Mary,
Put your code between in a Try Catch block. In the Catch part use the following:
oApplication.MessageBox("CompError: " & oCompany.GetLastErrorCode.ToString & ", " & oCompany.GetLastErrorDescription & vbCrLf & "Message: " & ex.Message)
This should give you a clearer idea of what the error is all about.
The most likely reason is that there is something wrong with your XML file.

Publish app that uses XML file.

Hi, I want to create an App which uses XML file as a data source. I want that XML file is online file on my server downloaded in first use, and looking for changes every time user want to do this, so i have a legal question if apple can release my app in AppStore or they can block it?

Thanks,
I have legal right, this is my XML file on my server.
My main concern is that changing XML in fact i may change entire app. And this make me think apple would not like it. So my question is: maybe someone had similar experience.

Can any one suggest us........
Thank you.

Hi user450616
I am a bit confused about what you are trying to achieve.
Are you:
1. importing a CSV file into APEX
2. adding an extra column to the Oracle Table
3. populating the extra column with the CSV filename?
Let us know if this is what you are trying to do.
Cheers,

Crystal Report using XML file

Hi,
I want to create dynamic crystal report using below mention xml file.
Example:--
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root xmlns:inl="http://inline">
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://inline" xmlns="http://inline" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
<xs:element name="Person">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="First_Name" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="Last_Name" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
<inl:Person>
<inl:First_Name>Anna</inl:First_Name>
<inl:Last_Name>Ant</inl:Last_Name>
</inl:Person>
<inl:Person>
<inl:First_Name>Betty</inl:First_Name>
<inl:Last_Name>Boop</inl:Last_Name>
</inl:Person>
</root>
Crystal report column will be generated using this xml file.
my report look like--
First Name Last Name
Anna Ant
Betty Boop
Thanks
Praveen

can you please be more detailed on what you mean automatically
like put the xml file together and have the report generated without actually attaching the dataset to the rpt file and placing the fields in the report?
if that is the case i dont believe crystal functions that way, been working with it for many years. i know you can create webi files through business objects where an end user can talk an dataset and build there own queries and rpt files on a dashboard type screen.

Re-Using XML file from decode barcode + extract xml process

I was hoping someone could put me in the right direction here. I am decodeing the information stored in a 2D Bar code and sending this information to an XML file, then I am trying to combine that xml file with a blank PDF template but the process is failing beacuse there are some additional tag fields the XML data from the Decode->Extract XML process.
The XML file from the decode process gives the structure below..notice therer some extra tags (lines 2- 4)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">
<xfa:datasets>
<xfa:data>
<form1>
The XML structure that is expected by the PDF template is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<form1>
So the xml output of the Decode barcode + Extract XML process has three extra lines of tag. Is there a way I could use a process within liveCycle to clean out those three lines in real-time before sending the xml to be recombined with the PDF template.
Thanks

Hi,
What you may do is to use the SetValue and its xpath builder functions to "serialize" the xml into string, "substring" to remove the extra tags, and "concat" to add the extra tags and then "deserialize" it again to an xml to be merged with your form.
Greetings,
Yasser

Using XML file in Java script to create Google Map

Hello,
I work for a non-profit in San Diego as a GIS Specialist. I have had to teach myself about some scripting to create some dynamic maps, but I am still very limited in my skills, so I have had to explore the internet in order to discover various tutorials and examples that have led me on a positive path.
Right now I am working on a Google Mash-Up that will incorporate over 14,000 records, which will appear as separate markers that will have pop-up info bubbles with additional info inside (using html), once the marker is clicked.
Here is the XML script example that is used in the tutorial I am following:
<markers>
<marker lat="43.65654" lng="-79.90138" html="Some stuff to display in the<br>First Info Window"
label="Marker One" />
<marker lat="43.91892" lng="-78.89231" html="Some stuff to display in the<br>Second Info Window"
label="Marker Two" />
<marker lat="43.82589" lng="-79.10040" html="Some stuff to display in the<br>Third Info Window"
label="Marker Three" />
</markers>
...and this is how it looks when the file is retrieved by the java script and mapped: http://econym.googlepages.com/example_map3.htm
This is the java script that creates the Google Map. I have emboldened the section of the script that retrieves the data and parses it to create the markers:

Here is my delima--
This is the xml format that I need to use because it can accept the rest of my excel file and loop it through the 14,000+ records to create a functioning xml file. This is just a sample (2 records) of the larger file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<ConnectoryAug2008>
<ConnectoryRecord>
     <lng>-117.03683</lng>
     <lat>32.944505</lat>
     <ConnectoryID>1</ConnectoryID>

This is the tutorial where I found the formatting techniques to successfully create the large xml file that will format/convert my excel file properly: http://www.mrexcel.com/tip064.shtml
These variables should appear as html in the info bubble:
<ConnectoryID>2</ConnectoryID>
     <Name>(GLDS) Great Lakes Data Systems</Name>
     <StreetAddress>5954 Priestly Drive</StreetAddress>
     <City>Carlsbad</City>

The "Marker" variable instructs Google Maps to label the marker with a particular color. I will be so grateful to the person(s) that helps me get through this wall that I have been hitting for a long time. It's very difficult without having the luxury of peers who know about these types of issues.
Thank you!!

Here is the relationship: They both contain geographic coordinates that produce a point on a map. I will use the rest of the information in the second xml file (company name, address, link, etc.) to produce the information for the bubble that will pop up once the marker is clicked.
My problem is that I need to try to keep the second xml file in a relatively similar format, so the rest of my records will still be accepted. If I had a smaller amount of records I could place them directly into the javascript, but because there are so many records, I need to use an xml file that can be retrieved by the java script. I chose to use the second type of xml file because I can easily copy and past the 14,000+ records that are now in excel document.
After the xml issue is corrected I need to rework the javascript that is now emboldened so that it will read the new xml file correctly. I included the first xml file so that the readers will understand what type of xml format is currently being used to produce the markers in the tutorial map.

Using XML File as a Data Server

OK - here's my scenario:
- Have an XML file that I am holding parameters (i.e log file folder) in
- I have set the XML file as a data server (which test connects OK) and created physical and logical schemas in Topology Manager
- In Designer, have created a data model for this file
What I am trying to do is populate/refresh a global variable with a value from the XML file; however, when I make a change to the value in the XML file, the value does not get passed into the variable.
In the global variable, it is set to refresh from the xml data source and in a package I am using a variable step set to refresh but still the data does not update with the current values in the file.
Couple of other things - if I go to the data model and view the data, it sees the value that is in the xml file but the variable is not getting the same value - it seems to be using some kind of cached value. Also, if I close any open ODI apps (Designer, Operator, etc.) and re-open, the values (sometimes) seem to reflect what is in the file.
Crux of the post - am I missing something so obvious that I cannot see it or has anyone else experienced this kind of issue.
Thanks,
Gee

OK - I got this working but in order to do this I followed some info from another post and changed the structure of the XML.
Previously, it was structured as:
<params>
<param>
<name>Test1</name>
<value>Some Value</value>
</param>
<param>
<name>Test2</name>
<value>Some Value2</value>
</param>
</params>
Now I have changed it to:
<params>
<param name="Test1" value="Some Value" />
<param name="Test2" value="Some Value2" />
</params>
I also added the dod=true value into the JDCB url.
Now, one of these circumstances fixed my issue (of which I am very glad) but I don't know which one :-) .... and I currently don't have the time to find out.
I may investigate this further in the future (and post accordingly).
Thanks,
G

Dynamically building web content using XML file(s)

Hello All!
I was recently tasked with a project to design a monitoring web application for our "in-house" built web applications. There is a certain set of modules and parameters that we need to monitor: GSLB --> Web Tier --> App Tier --> Database.
Almost all (80%) of our applications share the same parameters that need to be monitored, but there are about a hundred of them. So here is what I'm thinking of doing....
1. Create an XML document for each application (An example layout is included at the end of this post) and save it in the Applications directory.
2. Setup a Spring Framework project, and create code to dynamically go through the Applications directory and kick-off the monitoring logic for each <application/> item. Basically, the code will just traverse through all of the xml files (I might even create just 1 xml file with all of the <application/> items in it), read the "metadata" for each application, and start the backend processing, as well as display the data in a dynamically-generated web GUI (based on the XML structure and data).
Again, most of our applications (80%) have the same modules/parameters, therefore adding an application would only require us adding another <application/> element to the already-existing xml document (or adding an additional XML document). The code would do the rest...In regards to the rest 20% of applications, I would create a customize XML document with additional metadata (the code, in that case, would be able to handle the additional metadata).
So here are my questions:
1. What do you think of the idea itself? I'm sure that I'm not the only one who's thought of this, so are there any best-practices in this regard?
2. The reason I thought of using Spring is that it is XML-based (there are many reasons for me using Spring actually -- Security, ORM integration, etc), and it might facilitate my efforts. I'm thinking that even if reading through the Applications directory isn't such a good idea, I can somehow utilize Spring's dependency injection & AOS to create the appropriate solution. Have anybody tried this before and willing to share ideas, implementation approach, etc?
3. Other than Spring, what might help me accomplish this task?
4. Is this feasible (from a time and effort stand-point), or should I just do it the old-fashioned way?
Thanks in advance!
Vladimir

Hello jschell!
Again, the question was more about the overall architecture and design rather than monitoring implementation.
So here is what I have now:
1. A spring application that will do the following:
Read in the "architecture.xml" file (a portion is shown below). This file will dictate not only the type of monitoring but also the layout (explained later).
The architecture.xml is marshalled to entity objects -- Model (s), with nested Model "children"
This array of Model(s) is what the server-side application will use to populate the monitoring parameters.
When the Impl gets a hold of the Model(s), it traverses through all of these entities and does whatever processing it needs to do (Health check, routing check, etc), and produces Item(s) objects, which are similar in structure to the Model(s) entities, but have actual values that need to be displayed on the front-end. Each item might have an array of other, children, Item(s)
2. A GWT application asks for the Items array, and displays them on the front-end.
What I did already:
*1. Created a base Spring project that accepts GWT requests and returns a set of Item(s) (statically-generated, since I don't have the proper Impl yet).*
*2. Created the GWT project and the layout. GWT communicates with the Spring app (which runs on tomcat for now) and upon retrieving the Item(s) it recursively renders them into displayable items, with different background, borders colors, width, etc (based on the populated values and their nested children, if any) . The last code snippet is the definition of the Item class.*
Basically, the architecture is setup and the next step is the actual implementation of the monitoring and routing logic -- which wasn't the point of this post, since I already did most of it for a different project :)
Thanks for the replies though....

Using XML files created with PDF form in Excel

I have returned survey XML files created by a survey form using Lifecycle Designer. Have been unsuccessful in the importing of multiple XML files into Excel as a 2nd file just overlays the 1st file's data.
I have been reading a number of posts that most likely tells me that sending the PDF survey form out via e-mail and getting the returned XML file back via e-mail was not the best way to do it. Unfortunately it is what I have to deal with now, so two questions I have:
1. Is there a known method for importing all of these XML files into any Office program more easily than what I have been dealing with, and
2. What method would be best used if I have surveys to send out but have no web server or any other tool other than my local software on my PC for collecting and compiling the returned data?

Are you clicking the Send Email button while previewing the pdf form?
-> If yes, have you specified preview data on Form Properties panel?
-> If yes, does your form contain Table or repeatable subforms?
If all the above point are true, you will get multiple data in your xml.

Help with Photo Gallery using XML file

I am creating a photo gallery using Spry. I used the Photo Gallery Demo (Photo Gallery Version 2) on the labs.adobe.com website. I was successful in creating my site, and having the layout I want. However I would like to display a caption with each photo that is in the large view.
As this example uses XML, I updated my file to look like this:
<photos id="images">
            <photo path="aff2010_01.jpg" width="263" height="350" thumbpath="aff2010_01.jpg" thumbwidth="56"
               thumbheight="75" pcaption="CaptionHere01"></photo>
            <photo path="aff2010_02.jpg" width="350" height="263" thumbpath="aff2010_02.jpg" thumbwidth="75"
               thumbheight="56" pcaption="CaptionHere02"></photo>
            <photo path="aff2010_03.jpg" width="350" height="263" thumbpath="aff2010_03.jpg" thumbwidth="75"
               thumbheight="56" pcaption="CaptionHere03"></photo>
</photos>
The images when read into the main file (index.asp) show the images in the thumbnail area and display the correct image in the picture pain. Since I added the pcaption field to the XML file, how do I get it to display? The code in my index.html file looks like this:

rest of the code here:
        <div id="previews">
            <div id="controls">
                <ul id="transport">
                    <li><a href="#" class="previousBtn" title="Previous">Previous</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#" class="playBtn" title="Play/Pause" id="playLabel"><span class="playLabel">Play</span><span class="pauseLabel">Pause</span></a></li>
                    <li><a href="#" class="nextBtn" title="Next">Next</a></li>
                </ul>
            </div>
            <div id="thumbnails" spry:region="dsPhotos" class="SpryHiddenRegion">
                <div class="thumbnail" spry:repeat="dsPhotos"><a href="{path}"><img alt="" src="{thumbpath}"/></a><br /></div>
                <p class="ClearAll"></p>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div id="picture">
            <div id="mainImageOutline"><img id="mainImage" alt="main image" src=""/><br /> Caption: {pcaption}</div>
        </div>
        <p class="clear"></p>
    </div>
Any help with getting the caption to display would be greatly appreciated. The Caption {pcaption} does not work,
