Using XSL-XML template to convert name value pairs into XML elements

Hi,
I have a xml document in the format:
<?xml version=”1.0”?>
<body title="Mr" firstName="Joesph" middeNames="George Harry" lastname="Smith" countrycode="GBP"/>
I need to convert this using a XSL-XML template in BI publisher to return XML in the following format, while doing some conversion, e.g. converting countrycode from GBP to UK:
<?xml version=”1.0”?>
<body>
<title>Mr</title>
<firstName>Joseph</firstName>
<middleNames>George Harry</middleNames>
<lastname>Smith</lastname>
<countrycode>UK</countrycode>
</body>
Would appreciate if anyone could point me in the correct direction.

Hi Sweta,
Why MTB??? Message Transformation bean is used to change the format of the message... If you are planning to call any XSLT or java mapping through that then you can give it a try..
>>how to get the last and first 3 special characters in the output text using MTB?
Put them in message mapping itself and write it in File

Converting Name-Value pair to XML

Hi,
I have configured the proxy service to listen for "&" delimited HTTP post string. I have been able to tokenize the "&" delimited string and get the name-value pair as below:
============================================================
<CUSTOMER>
<param name="amp;STATE_NAME" value="abc_test" />
<param name="amp;EMAIL_ADDRESS" value="[email protected]" />
</CUSTOMER>
=====================================================
Now I want to convert this name-value pair into XML format to comply with the xml schema. Kindly suggest the way how can this be achieved?

Hi Hisaak,
Thanks for the pointer But I am not able to access the Name-Value pair to form the desired XML.
The output of first action is below and assigned to "payload" variable.
================================================
<query-params>
<param name="Model1" value="model1_test"/>
<param name="Option1" value="option1_test"/>
<param name="Quantity1" value="quantity1_test"/>
</query-params>
=================================================
In second assign action , I have used your given code and assigned to "Order" variable.
=====================================================
<Order>
<Model1>{$payload//param[@name = Model1]/@value}</Model1>
<Options1>{$payload//param[@name = Options1]/@value}</Options1>
<Quantity1>{$payload//param[@name = Quantity1]/@value}</Quantity1>
<Model2>{$payload//param[@name = Model2]/@value}</Model2>
</Order>
=====================================================
But after testing , I got the following output:
================================
<Order>
<Model1/>
<Options1/>
<Quantity1/>
<Model2/>
</Order>
====================================
The values didn't update. Let me know if I am missing anything.

Translating a String (name value pair) to XML

Hi Guys,
I am trying to find an elegant way of translating a string containing name value pairs to XML within BPEL. The string looks as following:
name=Bob
dob = 28/09/1993
This string has to be transformed to XML. Any of the two cases:
either
<root>
     <name>Bob</name>
     <dob>28/09/1993</dob>
</root>
or
<root>
     <entry>
          <key>name</name>
          <value>BOB</value>
     </entry>
     <entry>
          <key>dob</name>
          <value>28/09/1993</value>
     </entry>
</root>
I am thinking of using embedded java for translation, but if there is any XPath function that can be used for that would be great. There is doTranslateFromNative but documentation is not descriptive enough and did not find anything on the web either.
Thanks!

Hi,
Use substring-before(line,'=') and substring-after(line,'=') on each line in the string in an assign activity. Separate lines also with substring-before using a newline.
Hope that helps.

Convert name value pair to flat structure in Biztalk mapper

Hi,
I have an input xml file with name value pairs and have to access all the values in the same iteration to concatenate fname and lname and assign that to a fullname in the target schema.
I am trying with logical eq functoid and value mapping flattening but i can't access both the fname and lname at the same time.
Does any one have an idea on how to get this done?
My input file is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<InputData dateFormat="yyyyMMdd">
<CharacteristicList>
<characteristic>
<name>fname</name>
<value>hello</value>
</characteristic>
<characteristic>
<name>lname</name>
<value>world</value>
</characteristic>
</CharacteristicList>
</InputData>
And the output file is
<ns0:Root xmlns:ns0="http://test.Transforms.Schema1">
<Test >
<Fullname>Hello World</Fullname>
</Test>
</ns0:Root>
Thanks
Janardhan Reddy Bikka

Hi Janardhan,
All you need is Cumulative Concatenate functiod with logical & value mapping functiod as shown:
Add a Logical-Equal functiod. Link name element as its first parameter. And add “fname” as second parameter.
Add another Logical-Equal functiod. Link name element as its first parameter. And add “lname” as second parameter.
Add a Logical-Or functiod. Link the Logical-Equal functiod from fname as its first parameter. And Link the Logical-Equal functiod from lname as its second parameter
Add value mapping (not the flattening one) functiod and link Logical-Or functiod.
Add Cumulative Concatenate functiod. Link value mapping functiod to Cumulative Concatenate functiod as its first parameter. And add “1” as the second parameter. This second parameter provides the scope.
Connect Cumulative Concatenate functiod to the fullname parameter.
Add a looping functiod and connect parent CharacteristicList in source and Test in destination.
With this map, if I use the input instance(XML) file as you have shown, I would get output as below:
<ns0:Root xmlns:ns0="http://test.Transforms.Schema1">
<Test>
<Fullname>helloworld</Fullname>
</Test>
</ns0:Root>
if I use following input with more than one Characteristlist
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<InputData dateFormat="yyyyMMdd">
<CharacteristicList>
<characteristic>
<name>fname</name>
<value>hello</value>
</characteristic>
<characteristic>
<name>lname</name>
<value>world</value>
</characteristic>
</CharacteristicList>
<CharacteristicList>
<characteristic>
<name>fname</name>
<value>Ashwin</value>
</characteristic>
<characteristic>
<name>lname</name>
<value>Prabhu</value>
</characteristic>
</CharacteristicList>
</InputData>
I will get output as below:
<ns0:Root xmlns:ns0="http://test.Transforms.Schema1">
<Test>
<Fullname>helloworld</Fullname>
</Test>
<Test>
<Fullname>AshwinPrabhu</Fullname>
</Test>
</ns0:Root>
FYI: I have shown another sample instance with more first name and lastname because, you'r requirement is to have names concatenated with in a CharacteristicList

What technology to use to store a huge list of name-value pairs?

Hi:
I have a list of name value pairs (the size of the list is ~500). I get the name from the request parameter, and depending on the value for that, I have to display images on my webpage.
How should I go about this? Should I use a Hashtable to store the values or should I use an array or should I got for XML and some pattern matching or should I write to a text file and do some pattern matching?
Please help.
Thanks

Did you mean huge (several million) or is 500 more like the number? For "huge" you use a database. For 500, if you want to access the value when you are given the name, you use a Map. Probably a HashMap would be best.

XSLT Mapping to convert u201C.CSVu201D file into XML Structure.

Hi All,
I wanted to know can we use XSLT Mapping to convert u201C.CSVu201D file into XML Structure.
I am communicating between two XI Systems. First XI system is going to give u201C.CSVu201D file as main document. I need to post IDOC Corresponding to this. So what I want to do is read this u201C.CSVu201D file (Main document in payload) and first convet it into XML and then use second mapping which will convert XML to IDOC.
I know this is possible with JAVA Mapping but just wanted to confirm can we do this with XSLT mapping as well?

Name Value pairs

Hi All,
I am trying to achieve the following using the graphical mapping tool.
Source:
rows..................0-unbounded
.....indicator1......1-1
.....indicator2......1-1
.....indicator3......1-1
Target:
Attributes...........0-unbounded
.....constant............1-1
.....field...................1-1
Sample Source xml:
<rows>
....<indicator1>Blue</indicator1>
....<indicator2>Large</indicator2>
....<indicator3>Hot</indicator3>
</rows>
In the target structure, I want to create name value pairs where constant1 is assigned constant 'Colour' and field1 is assigned indicator1.
My issue is that in the target structure, I also want to create new name value pairs for each of the values in the source. This is illustrated in the target document example below:
<Attributes>
......<constant>"Constant"</constant>
......<field>indicator1</field>
</Attributes>
<Attributes>
......<constant>"Constant"</constant>
......<field>indicator2</field>
</Attributes>
<Attributes>
......<constant>"Constant"</constant>
......<field>indicator3</field>
</Attributes>
An example would be (using the sample values above):
<Attributes>
......<constant>Color</constant>
......<field>Blue</field>
</Attributes>
<Attributes>
......<constant>Size</constant>
......<field>Large</field>
</Attributes>
<Attributes>
......<constant>Wash</constant>
......<field>Hot</field>
</Attributes>
Can this be achieved in the graphical mapping tool before I turn to xslt?
Please help!

JS

HTTP adapter as receiver to POST name-value pairs - How to?

Hi,
Scenario: HTTP Sender <> XI <> HTTP receiver (Sync throughout; no BPM)
In this scenario, a HTTP channel is configured to the target URL to post data.
The message mapping results in a XML. HTTP posts the same XML to the target URL.
However,the target URL expects data Posted as name-value pairs.
eg. eid=45678&zip=11011&ename=Tom%20Lee
How can we configure HTTP adapter channel to post XML data as
name-value pairs (as in standard HTTP Form Post)?
Any pointers?
thanx,
Pops

Hi Udo,
I currently have a solution (simpler than having a BP), but do not expect it to be the right way of doing.
I am using Java Mapping to convert the XML structure into Name-Value pair. So the output of Mapping is a string like how HTTP post is expected. So the interface mapping having multiple mappings - firstly, the original Message mapping, and then the Java mapping to do the conversion. So, with a small extension, the solution is still kept simple.
However, I thought the POST requirement to HTTP URLs would be a common requirement, and expected the HTTP adapter doing this conversion. So, I am still looking for a straight solution (without any custom extensions).
Any one else faced this situation?
Can't this be handled by HTTP Adapter?

Vertical Tables (name value pairs)

I inherited the maintenance of a system built on Oracle. To make it 'configurable', the user data is stored in a single table as name value pairs. What I mean is, instead of creating a new table when the end user needs a new record type, all data is stored in a single table where one column is the record ID, one column is the attribute name, and another column is the value that is associated with that attribute.
In other words, if I had a new record type that had two attributes, 'Name' and 'Age', instead of having a table that looks like this:
Name Age
Jim 10
Joe 25
John 45
I have a table that looks like this:
Record Attribute Value
1 Name Jim
1 Age 10
2 Name Joe
2 Age 25
3 Name John
3 Age 45
This table can easily have several million records in it. As you can guess, the query statements are pretty tangled and run very slow.
Does anyone have any clever ideas (aside from scrapping this approach and migrating to real tables) that can simplify this monster and improve its performance? Indexing helped the performance (it is now only awful instead of unusable), but it is still slow and a nightmare for us to maintain.
Thanks,
Ron

Hi,
But what do you enter in the value column in fixValues?
Consider the input:
<Pair>
........<Name>Vishal</Name>
........<Value>100</Value>
</Pair>
<Pair>
........<Name>Andy</Name>
........<Value>200</Value>
</Pair> and so on..
Requirement is:
If Name=Vishal, ABC(target field) should have corresponding Value(i.e 100 in this case)
If Name=Andyl, XYZ(target field) should have corresponding Value(i.e 200 in this case)
I did use fixValues, but always only ABC gets created properly. XYZ doesn't get created.

Name-value pair

I want to create ST,AT,TC .... as separate columns and store the values in those columns respectively. Can anyone tell me how can I extract the data into those columns from one single column. All the above data is stored in one single column - nucleotide.

Unrecognized name-value pair: log_set_config

I get the following error when trying to create a database
unrecognized name-value pair: log_set_config
ERROR: SQL logic error or missing database. ERRCODE: 1.
Is there any issue with the way I have defined the paramater for DB_LOG_IN_MEMORY?
Also can DB_PRIVATE parameter be used when using BDB SQLITE? I remember when I tried the last time it gave me error suggesting that the flag configuration was illegal.
Please advice

As you can see, there is no specification that you can use log_set_config in DB_CONFIG, I don't know where you took this from. What you can do, you can configure the DB_LOG_IN_MEMORY flag by using "set_flags db_log_inmemory" in the DB_CONFIG file.

Need to retrive the name-value pair of concurrent request

Hello All,
I need to write a query that takes the concurrent request ID (executed concurrent request) as input and retrives the concurrent request parameter names and the values submitted to run that request.
we have considered the following tables to acheive the result:
fnd_descr_flex_col_usage_tl
fnd_concurrent_requests
fnd_concurrent_programs
however unable to map the parameter name-value pairs properly.
Thanks

declangallagher .. I am sorry for not being very clear ...
I am sorry for taking your time.But I appreciate your effort .and time ..
I
I have two servlets 1. result (existing) 2. preResult ( probable wrap around)
The servlet
1.result : takes in the Name and gets the result from the db ( Actually uses Castor and JDO ) to get the result
and the GET is as follows
http://128.173.99.68:8080/WebApplication/result?queryFor=Experiment&Name="john"
where "queryFor" is for the name of the form and Name is the text in the VTL ( View)
2.preResult is supposed to be a wrapper around the servlet "result" this takes in the ID from the user
and is of the form
http://128.173.99.68:8080/WebApplication/preResult?queryFor=Wrapper&ID="1234"
There exists a DB mapping to ID and Name .
So Instead of calling the result servlet ..I'll directly call the preResult servlet ...get the ID from the user ...
and get the corresponding Name from the db
....here
I wish to (If possible) tweak the "request" parameter
change
1.The queryFor value to Experiment
2. add The Name="john"
and send this to the result servlet so that it process it ...........

Remove a name/value pair from request

Hi, guys:
I am trying to programmatically remove a name/value pair from
request in my jsp file. For example, if I have a path like
the following:
http://localhost:8080/mysampleweb/initpage?isHome=true
If I want to remove "isHome=true" and produce the following
path:
http://localhost:8080/mysampleweb/initpage
Is there a way to do it?
regards,

I think you can use respose.sendRedirect(request.getRequestURI())
