Validating an existing doc against schema

I want to be able to validate an existing XMLDocument object against a schema.
I can validate it by using a StringWriter and printing the document, then parsing from a StringReader (the parser has the Schema set beforehand to the schema I want to validate against).
Is there an easier way?

chekc you xml instance document against the xml schema you are trying to validate with some tools like xmlspy or xmleditor. then you get the exact error and the element which is creating the problem then upload to the databas.e

XML validation against schema in XSD format

I have a requirement for validation of XML file against XML schema(XSD format). Using IXML liabrary I know how to validate XML file against schema in DTD format. But i am not getting how to do it against XSD. Is it possible using IXML liabrary? Also i wanted to know how to attach one XML or CSV file into another XML file using SAP ABAP.
Please provide solution!!

--> Could not find cached enumeration value Custom.CI.Enum.PeripheralDevice.Printer for property Type, class BMC.Custom.CI.PeripheralDevice in enumeration cache.
You must specify either the Name or Guid of an enumeration of type Custom.CI.Enum.PeripheralDevice.Type.
Be sure that you are specifying the Name property of the enumeration value you want to set, and not the DisplayName; the Internal Name is something like "IncidentCategoryEnum.Category" for out of the box enumerations, or ENUM.210ADA2282FDABC3210ADA2282FDABC
for enumerations created in the console.
you can check this by finding the enumeration in the XML or by using the the
SMLets commandlet
Get-SCSMEnumeration | ?{$_.DisplayName –eq “Printer”}
and then checking your value with
Get-SCSMEnumeration -Name "ENUM.210ADA2282FDABC3210ADA2282FDABC"
and see if you get the right displayname back

Validating xml doc using schema

I was wondering if you can the following validation of an xml document using schema:
<parent>
    <child>Jogn</child>
    <child>Hanna</child>
    <child>Blake</child>
    <childCount>3</childCount>
<parent>the childcountValue equals the number of child node. is this possible using
schema or do do i have to use an application to do this?
thanx in advance

thanx dvohra, but i already know how to validate schema using a parser.
I'm looking for a way in the schema that specified thhat the total number of child elemnt equals to the integer value of the childTotal element. I don't even know if this is possible. If possible, what (tag) would i use. i don't need answer..hint would be nice.
my other solution is to write an application that use a SAX parser to parse the xml doc. Although this is relatively easy, i would like to keep the validation within on file (the schema)..rather than have it be in the schema and a ContentHandler.

Validating a XMLdoc against schema with multiply namespaces

Does anybody know how to validate xmldoc against schema with multiply namespaces?
I'd appreciate any advice on how I should perform this operation.
I used an example from OTN "Building Server-Side XML Schema Validation" which works fine
for single xml-xsd validation only.
I use 8.1.7.4 oracle version with XML SDK installed.

In the past, ColdFusion's XML validation mechanism seems to have had issues with schemas that contain imports, e.g., http://forums.adobe.com/message/155906. Have these issues still not been resolved?
Do you not think that perhaps you're answering your own question here?
I don't see an issue about this on the bug tracker. It might be an idea if you can get a simple, stand-alone repro case together and raise an issue (and post the reference back here and against that other thread so people know to vote for it). If you post the repro case here too, it would be helpful.

"The interface name given does not specify a valid and existing interface."

Hi nice guys,
I'm trying to use the XNET APIs to set Master task to Slave with LIN protocol. As I have no Experience before, there's something problem like the Interface of the NI USB-8476S can't be detected. The prompted windows presents following infomation:
Error -1074384758 occurred at XNET Create Session (Signal Output Single-point).vi:1
Possible reason(s):
NI-XNET: (Hex 0xBFF6308A) The interface name given does not specify a valid and existing interface. Solution: Use a valid and existing interface. These can be obtained using MAX, XNET system properties, or the LabVIEW XNET Interface IO name. If you are using CompactRIO, refer to the topic "Getting Started with CompactRIO" in the NI-XNET Hardware and Software Help.
but in the NI MAX, the device is detected as "LIN0". Even the interface input control in the NI examples shows the error. But if I take the CAN Frame API, it works well.
Does anyone have some idea. I'm so preciate. Tanks in advance.
best regards
Melo

Melonetern,
When do you receive these errors? Does this happen when you try to run your code or our examples? On top of that, does this error happen immediately or does it take a while? Is this happening in LabVIEW or another interface?
If you could give us the versions of software you are using as well as the XNET driver versions that would be very helpful.

Calling a procedure that exist in another schema

hello , i need your help .
i would like to know how i can call a procedure that exist in another schema
what i did for example calling the procedure "proc" at schema "user1" from pl/sql code
begin
user1.proc(parm1,parm2);
end;
i got the error message
(1): PLS-00201: identifier 'user1.proc' must be declared
(2): PL/SQL: Statement ignored
but by calling it from SQL PLUS from the same current schema i got no errors
exec user1.proc(parm1,parm2);
thank you

Assuming that the call that is failing is located in a stored procedure or stored function, the problem is likely that your user's access to the user1.proc procedure is via a role and privileges granted through a role cannot be used in a definer's rights stored procedure or stored function.
You can verify this by disabling roles in your SQL*Plus session. If you do
SQL> set role none
SQL> exec user1.proc( p1, p2 );I would expect that you'll get the same error that you get in your stored procedure. Assuming that is the case, you'll need to ask the DBA to grant your user EXECUTE access on user1.proc directly not via a role.

Adding an element with an attribute to destination schema that doesn't exist on source schema

I have source schema which looks something like below:
source schema
name                    //attribute
address1                //attribute
address2                //attribute
city                       //attribute
I need to map it to a destination schema which looks like below:
destination schema
employee                  //record (repeating element)
  fieldname                //attribute
  type                       //attribute
After mapping, the xml would look like below:
<employee fieldname= 'name' type='string'>
<employee fieldname= 'address1' type ='string'>
<employee fieldname= 'address2' type ='string'>
<employee fieldname= 'city' type ='string'>
(fieldname exists in source schema, but 'type' doesn't. basing on the fieldname, I add it on the destination schema using ValueMapping functoid )And I am able to do it successfully, but my question is, I need to add a field called 'salary'
of type 'double' to the destination schema similar to the other values
<employee fieldname= 'salary' type ='double'>
But salary doesn't exist in 'source' schema, and it needs to be there in destination schema associated with the attribute 'type='dcouble''   How can I accomplish this? Appreciate any help. thanks!!

Hi Anne,
For your requirement, all you need is Table Looping functiod and Table Extractor functiod.
In this example, I am not using the value mapping functiod (you can also use it, but I prefer to make this sample easier for you to understand) so using a “string” as constant.
When you mean by you want
<employee fieldname= 'name' type='string'>
<employee fieldname= 'address1' type ='string'>
<employee fieldname= 'address2' type ='string'> <employee fieldname= 'city' type ='string'>
I assume you’re looking for something like this
<employee fieldname= 'ValueOfName' type='string'>
<employee fieldname= 'ValueOfAddress1' type ='string'>
<employee fieldname= 'ValueOfAddress2' type ='string'>
<employee fieldname= 'ValueOfCity' type ='string'>
Or if you just need field names not the value of the fields, you can still do what you want with the way you do now but using Table Looping functiod and Table Extractor
functiod.
Let me explain this.
Use Table Looping functiod with following parameters:
5 = You need 5 records in output i.e. name, address1,address2,city and salary.
2 = you need 2 columns. i.e. fieldname and type.
Link from 'name' in source schema. Here I have just linked the 'name' from source schema, so this will have VALUE-of-Name element/attribute. Or if you can want just the
field name, you can use the way you’re using to get the field name.
Repeat the above step for all the rest of the fields. I have linked address1, address2 and city.
7<sup>th</sup> parameter is “string” as constant, which I will be passing to “type” attribute in destination. Again you can use value mapping functiod as you
do. If you use value mapping functiod, then rest of the parameter shall be value mapping functiod.
Then I add last two paraters “salary” and “double” as constants, which I will be using to add the new record. Below image show the parameters for Table looping functiond:
Now select the “Configure Table Looping grid” property and map as shown. Give a closer look to the way how this grid has been mapped. Last record in the grid shows the
additional record which you want to add with “salary” and “double”
Now add “Table Extractor functiod”, set its first parameter to “Table looping” and second parameter as “1”
Now another “Table Extractor functiod”, set its first parameter to “Table looping” and second parameter as “2”. Below image show the Table Txtrator functiods parameters:
Now link the Table Looping functiod to “employee” record in destination schema.
Use the above you will get the output as you wanted. Following is the output, note: as mentioned in the fieldName attribute I have the value of the source fields/attributes
since I have used the direct link from soruce in Table Looping functiod parameters, you can use the link which is producing the value for you now for fieldname:
<employee fieldName="name_0" type="string"></employee>
<employee fieldName="address1_1" type="string"></employee>
<employee fieldName="address2_2" type="string"></employee>
<employee fieldName="city_3" type="string"></employee>
<employee fieldName="salary" type="double"></employee>

Three billing docs against single delivery

Hello Experts,
The client want to divide the Bill into three equal parts and send the billing document to three different bill to party for a single delivery . The Billing documents for each bill to should be individual and payment receipt also done individually for each of them separately.
ie. - three billing docs against single delivery and three payment receipt.
How can I think on it . Please help me .
Regard
kamal

If you have different bill to parties for a particular delivery, Invoice split should happen automatically as one invoice can have only one bill to party. But if you don't have different bill to parties and still you want to split, then you can get use of a VOFM data transfer routine and get this done. If you provide more details on your requirement, we can help more.
Nice job. You posted the exact same thing I already posted 3 days before...

In-memonry xml document validation against schema with xerces

Hello, there.
I found that I can't use JAXP's javax.xml.validation package with jdk 1.4. (Am I wrong?)
Anyway,
I found that I can use xerces's DOMParser for the same purpose.
But I can't find the way to validate my programmatically generate org.w3c.dom.Document against existing schema file.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks.

Have you read Xerces documentation or SUN xml API, there is always a parser option (I suppose it's in the standard) to validate input while parsing.
Look the API : http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/xml/parsers/DocumentBuilderFactory.html#setValidating(boolean)

XML validation against schema (NOT DTD)

Hi,
I am fairly new at parsing XML documents, but I am trying to parse
an XML document using the Xerces SAXParser.
I can parse my xml document, no problems there, but I want to validate
it against an xml schema file, without specifying the file in the xml document.
How can I do this? If I set validating to true, it gives me errors about a DTD,
but I don't have a DTD, I want to use a schema file.
Can anybody help me, or give me a code example?
THanks,
Sven
