Using xmldom.appendChild function

Hi , I'm trying to parse 2 xml strings.
I have successfully generated the 2 strings names xmlString1 & xmlString2.
Next I do parsing. This is some part of the code --
p := xmlparser.newParser;
xmlparser.parseClob(p, xmlString1);
xmldoc1 := xmlparser.getDocument(p);
xmlparser.parseClob(p, xmlString2);
xmldoc2 := xmlparser.getDocument(p);
xmldoc := xmldom.newDOMDocument;
xmldom.setVersion(xmldoc,'1.0');
-- create a root element for the new document
rootElement := xmldom.createElement(xmldoc , 'ORDER');
root1Element := xmldom.getDocumentElement(xmldoc1);
root2Element := xmldom.getDocumentElement(xmldoc2);
domNode1 := xmldom.makeNode(rootElement);
domNode2 := xmldom.makeNode(root1Element);
domNode3 := xmldom.makeNode(root2Element);
dbms_output.put_line('hi1');
xmldocnode := xmldom.appendChild(domNode1,domNode2);
dbms_output.put_line('hi2');
While executing I get the 'hi1' but not 'hi2'.
It gives PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. But does nothing from the appendChild function call.
xmldocnode,domNode1,domNode2 have been declared xmldom.DOMNode type.
Thanks

XMLDOM.appendChild performance

Hi All,
I have a large xml (52,000 messages under the root element). There's about 5 elements under each Message element. Parsing each element takes about 2 minutes which is great. However, when I try to add two more elements under the message element using XMLDOM.appendChild , the execution time goes up to 11 minutes.

Is there an issue with XMLDOM.appendChild

Hi,
Any ideas on how to make it run faster?
Is there an issue with XMLDOM.appendChildActually, there's an issue with the whole approach.
Given your db version, you should stop using DOM and start using binary XMLType and related functionalities.
Could you describe a little bit more what you want to do? A sample data with expected output would help.
- What does "parsing" mean to you? Extracting XML data into variables or columns?
- Do you want to add two more elements under each of the 52000 Messages?
Here's a glimpse of what you can do :

Creating XML File Using xmldom Package

How can I create an XML file from scratch using the PL/SQL xmldom package?
I want to create an XML file using the xmldom package instead of building the individual tags as strings of VARCHAR2 character data. There is quite a bit of documentation regarding manipulating input XML files using DOM -- but not for creating XML files from scratch given known "tagnames" (<lastName>) and retrieved database "values" ("Smith").
<person>
<lastName>Smith</lastName>
</person>
Is there any documentation that you can recommend?
Thank you.

Here is an example.
The create_file procedure creates the file.
The other procedures are generic procs that can be used with any XML.

Exception when using XMLDOM.appendData

I am trying to create an xml-document containing base64 encoded data by using the xmldom packages on an 8.1.7 DB.
Everthing works o.k. until I try to append data to an DOMCharacterData Node.This is the point where my function always ends up catching an ORA-29532 java.lang.ClassCastException exception
I did a lot of research the last few days but did not find any similar cases.
Does anyone have a solution or can provide hints where to find informations regarding.
Thank you
Edmund

Try something like requestScope or backingBeanScope.

Using XMLDOM to process document in XML DB

I am new to XML and especially XML DB which I however see as an excellent platform on which to base XML based solutions. I have a specific question and apologise beforehand should any of my assumptions be incorrect.
I wish to create an application which from a number of XML fragments, together with rules governing the behaviour of the fragments (insertion points, overwrite rules etc) are merged together to finally leave me with a complete and valid XML document in XML DB.
I thought at first that I could use DBMS_XMLDOM to perform this low level processing required. I have however not managed to understand how this can be used together with XMLDB. I am reluctant to use XMLDOM without XMLDB as I am afraid that I will surpass the limits in XML document size apparently imposed by XMLDOM.
I see a solution where I create a schema based resource in XML DB containing the initial XML structure and then processing any number of the above mentioned fragments to finaly be left with a complete XML document.
Can I use XMLDOM to do this or am I barking up the wrong tree?
I would be grateful for any input on techniques that I can apply to perform elementary search/replace/insert on an XML document which I am, from PLSQL, compiling.
Thanks

Hi
The size of the documents I want to compose are expected vary from a few Kb to 1 or 2 Gb! In a FAQ found somewhere on OTN there was an entry which mentioned that somebody was having trouble with a 50Mb XML document. The recommendation was to use SAX but I am under the impression that this is more useful when the processing is of a more sequential nature.
The main thread of my question is to gain clarity in the most suitable technique to use when actualy compsing the XML.
What I want to do is:
Create resource (XML document) in XML DB.
Loop through XML fragments together with rules:
For each fragment process according to rules and insert
fragment or update existing XML based on fragment contents.
At the end of the loop the XML document is complete and ready for further processing.
XMLDOM seems to give me the tools to do this but I am unsure of how to do this and have XMLDOM work directly against the contents in the resource controlled by XML DB (making use of possible indexes and the scalable nature of XMLDB). I get the feeling that if I simply read the XML from XMLDB resource into a DOM document I am still using the memory based representation of the XML until I write the XML back to XMLDB - is this a correct assumption.
Alternatively is it the functionality offered by XPath, extract(), updatexml() etc. that I should be looking at?
Does this make my question more understandable?

Load XLM into pl sql using xmldom

Hi ,
I have problems when I use xmldom to retrieve infotmation from xml to storethe information into a table. For the first xml , I can do it , for the second one I have problems ( I can't retrieve the values I need ) and I don't know why. Please don't reply me by providing links , I just would like to have an idea of what is going wrong with the second xml. Thanks in advance.

Could you explain me what could be wrong ?
I am using the same logic for both xml :
declare
bnb xmldom.domnodelist;
l_node xmldom.domnode;
l_doc xmldom.domdocument;
begin
parse_document (l_file_name, doc_in);
bnb := selected_nodes (doc_in, '/GraydonBeDialogue/Table[@ClassTable="Review"]/TableEntry');
FOR entry_index IN 0 .. xmldom.getlength (bnb) - 1
LOOP
l_node := xmldom.item (bnb, entry_index);
TableLanguage := trim(xslprocessor.valueof (l_node, 'TableLanguage'));
TableCode := trim(xslprocessor.valueof (l_node, 'TableCode'));
TableValue := trim(xslprocessor.valueof (l_node, 'TableValue'));
-- Treat the data
.....

Couple of friendly tips.
When pasting XML, don't copy it directly from the browser's normal view as that usually inserts a "-" on some lines, which makes it invalid XML when you copy/paste. Either open the XML in something besides a browser or do a View Page Source (or similar) to copy the true XML.
Use the tag to wrap XML and code to retain formatting as shown in the FAQ (under your sign-in name in the upper right).
In your first sample XML, the root node is defined as
<GraydonBeDialogue>
and in the second it is defined as (ignoring attributes that don't matter to us now)
<GraydonBeDialogue xmlns="http://www.w3schools.com">
This means the second XML resides in a default namespace and so to access any/all nodes that reside in this namespace, you must provide that namespace to the extract method.
For many Oracle based functions that take an Xpath as a parm, Oracle has the next parm defined as the namespace. This allows you to pass in the namespace associated to the XML nodes. With default namespaces, it does add a twist as you have to make up a namespace prefix for the Xpath/namespace declaration so that the engine knows the nodes reside in a namespace (be it default) instead of not residing in a namespace. Here's a little something I wrote up on this
http://anononxml.blogspot.com/2010/06/xml-parsing-with-default-namespaces-via.html
I prefer now to use XMLType when parsing XML in PL/SQL as a bit more flexible/easier to code.
Without seeing what you hid in
selected_nodes
it is hard to say exactly where your problem is but hopefully that gives you a start.

INSERTION OF XML DATA INTO THE TABLE USING XMLDOM

hello,
i am using XMLDOM to insert the data into the table
i am using different function of it.
but i am facing the problem to retrive the the multiple entry.
like in my example i have two entry of the ' po number '
& i am using the function
dbms_xmldom.item(l_nodelist, 0)
i which i have to pass index no.
& through this i am getting only single entry according to the index no.
Example on which i am working is
declare

The nodelist is a 0 based array of information and you are only requesting to pull the node info in the first array position. So to get the info in the second array position, you need to use ", 1)". You can also use .getLength and a loop to parse through everything in the node list.

Using iPad mail program I have a draft of an email. I attempted to "cancel" and "delete draft" but it is still on my screen even after shutting down and restarting. How do I exit so that I can use other mail functions?

Using iPad mail program I have a draft of an email. I have attempted to "cancel" this and "delete draft" but the email stays on my screen. How can I exit this so that I can use other email functions?

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

How to use standard java functions in a XSLT mapping

Hi All,
I wish to use a standard java function in a XSLT mapping, The issue is either i am giving incorrect namespace which is used to invoke the function or the signature of the function call is incorrect, I have read all the links in http://help.sap.com, and i know <b> one can enhance a XSLT mapping by writing one's own java code and thereby using java standard functions </b>, but the requirement is such that i need to try and use java standard function in XSLT mapping itself.
Please refer to the sample code below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:javamap="java:java.lang.String">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="input" select="Title">
<xsl:if test="function-available('javamap:toUpperCase')">
<xsl:value-of select="javamap:toUpperCase($input)"/>
</xsl:if>
Author:<xsl:value-of select="Author"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
error encountered is: Illegal number or type of arguments.
please reply if you have tried a similar scenario in SAP XI.
Thanks & Regards,
Varun

Hi Varun,
    First of all i want to tell you that as per the documentation you can only call the static function inside xslt mapping. Your toUpperCase method is a non static function.
What i am getting is that you have an element called Author and you want to convert its value into uppercase.
you can write your own user defined function which is static.
Signature of your java method :
public static string toUpperCase(String Author,Map inputparam)
try this xslt map.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:javamap="java:JavaProgram">
     <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
     <xsl:param name="Author">
             <xsl:value-of select="//Author_name"/>
     </xsl:param>
     <xsl:param name="inputparam" />
     <xsl:template match="/">
     <Author>
             <xsl:if test="function-available('javamap:toUpperCase')">
              <xsl:value-of select="javamap:toUpperCase($Author,$inputparam)"/>
             </xsl:if>
     </Author>
     </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Hope this will work.
Thanks and Regards

Derive found flag in SQL with where clause using TABLE(CAST function

Dear All,
Stored procedure listEmployees
==========================
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE STRING_ARRAY AS VARRAY(8000) OF VARCHAR2(15);
empIdList STRING_ARRAY
countriesList STRING_ARRAY
SELECT EMP_ID, EMP_COUNTRY, EMP_NAME, FOUND_FLAG_
FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE
EMP_ID IN
(SELECT * FROM TABLE(CAST(empIdList AS STRING_ARRAY))
AND EMP_COUNTRY IN
(SELECT * FROM TABLE(CAST(countriesList AS STRING_ARRAY))
=================
I have a stored procedure which lists the employees using above simple query.
Here I am using table CAST function to find the list of employees in one go
instead of looping through each and every employee
Everything fine until requirements forced me to get the FOUND_FLAG as well.
Now I wanted derive the FOUND_FLAG by using rownum, rowid, decode functions
but I was not successful
Can you please suggest if there is any intelligent way to say weather the
row is found for given parameters in the where clause?
If not I may have to loop through each set of empIdList, countriesList
and find the values individually just to set a flag. In this approach I can’t use
the TABLE CAST function which is efficient I suppose.
Note that query STRING_ARRAY is an VARRAY. It is very big in size and this procedure
suppose to handle large sets of data.
Thanks In advance
Regards
Charan

If your query returns results, you have found them... so your "FOUND" flag might be a constant,...

How to use the Table Function defined in package in OWB?

Hi,
I defined a table function in a package. I am trying to use that in owb using Table function operator. But I came to know that, owb R1 supports only standalone table functions.
Is there any other way to use the table function defined in a package. As like we create synonyms for functions, is there any other way to do this.
I tryed to create synonyms, it is created. But it is showing compilation error. Finally I found that, we can't create synonyms for functions which are defined in packages.
Any one can explain it, how to resolve this problem.
Thank you,
Regards
Gowtham Sen.

Hi Marcos,
Thank you for reply.
OWB R1 supports stand alone table functions. Here what I mean is, the table fucntion which is not inculded in any package is a stand alone table function.
for example say sample_tbl_fn is a table function. It is defined as a function.It is a stand alone function. We call this fucntion as "samp_tbl_fn()";
For exampe say sample_pkg is a package. say a function is defined in a package.
then we call that function as sample_pkg.functionname(); This is not a stand alone function.
I hope you understand it.
owb supports stand alone functions.
Here I would like to know, is there any other way to use the functions which are defined in package. While I am trying to use those functions (which are defined in package -- giving the name as packagename.functionname) it is throwing an error "Invalid object name."
Here I would like know, is there any other way to use the table functions which are defined in a package.
Thank you,

Gowtham Sen.

How do I use the print function to output a numeric variable with a fixed amount of leading zeroes

I need to create an output from a T-SQL query that picks a numeric variable and uses the print function to output with leading zeroes if it is less than three characters long when converted to string. For example if the variable is 12 the output should
be 012 and if the variable is 3 the output should be 003.
Presently the syntax I am using is PRINT STR(@CLUSTER,3) . But if @CLUSTER which is numeric is less than three characters I get spaces in front.
Please help!

>> I need to create an output from a T-SQL query .. <<
NO! NO! In RDBMS, we have a presentation layer that handles displays. We do not ever do it in the database. This is fundamental. But more than that, the purpose of PRINT is for debugging in T-SQL and never for output.
You are still writing 1960's COBOL or BASIC, but you want to to it in SQL. You probably picked the wrong data type (a numeric that should be a string) and are trying to repair your design error.

TS1398 I have an iPad mini, because of my work network firewalls I am not able to use the airprint function to print. I was told you can direct connect to a printer. I am not sure how as I have not seen any cables for a lightning connection to a printer c

I have an iPad mini, I am connected to my work wireless connection. My printer also is on the same wireless network, however I am not able to print to my airprint enabled printer through this wireless connection. Is there a way to direct connect to the printer via a cable ?
I am missing something here on the connection. I am thinking possibly a firewall here at work will not allow me to use the airprint function. Help ?

There is no support for wired printing.
It is probably a firewall issue, possibly where all inbound communications are blocked. Since you're at work, I'd call your work IT department and find out from them what you can/can't do.

How can I use Seeburger java functions on SAP XI's user defined functions?

Hi All,
As my title implies; how can I use Seeburger java functions on SAP XI's user defined functions? I've tried searching over the net in tutorials regarding this topic but I failed to find one; can someone provide me information regarding my question? thanks very much.
best regards,
Mike

Hi Mike !
You should check your documentation about which java classes you need to reference in the "import" section of your UDF. And also deploy the java classes into the java stack or include them as a imported archive in integration repository...it should be stated in the seeburger documentation.
What kind of functions are you trying to use?
Regards,
Matias.
