Validating datastore against sources.

Hi,
I would like to know how we can validate changes made to a DataStore's columns.
After importing source table definitions, I wanted to know what would be the impact of changing column name in a model. (In the database, the column name is NOT changed.)
Initially, when Name and Short description values were changed one by one I could view data. Then when both were changed, I could not view the data as ODI Designer threw an error. After this both values (ie, column names) were restored as per the column name in the source database table.
But now, I am able to see the source table's data even though both Name and Short Description values related to a source table's column are changed in the DataStore's Definition tab.
And there does not seem to be any option to validate the DataStore against the database table definition.
Is it possible?
Btw, I am using ODI 10.1.3.5.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Manoj.

Hi Himanshu,
Thanks for replying.
I am sorry for my message is not that clear. I am new to ODI and exploring it.
After importing the source table definitions into the ODI repository, I thought of checking whether or not there was any option to validate the datastore definition against the source tables. Idea was to change a column name (NAME and / SHORT DESCRIPTION) or change datatype in the Model and see whether or not this is detected by the Designer. I considered the former for testing.
Initially, when both NAME AND SHORT DESCRIPTION were changed, I could not view the source table data as an error was thrown (which I assume was because there is no such column in the source table, ODI Designer threw an error).
Then I restored both the values and doing so, I could view the source table's data. Later, I again changed NAME and SHORT DESCRIPTION values of the same column. This time, I could still view the data. I feel this is bit strange. I could not find an option to validate the datastore definition against the underlying source table definition, too.
I have not started exploring projects yet; it's just model concepts that I am exploring.
Thanks,
Manoj.

    --> 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"

  • Does XDB supports validating xml against multiple schemas?

    The XMLType has some methods for validating an xml documents against a schema, e.g., SCHEMAVALIDATE, etc.. does XDB support validating xml against multiple schemas (Just like what JAXP or Xerces have done)? Or what's the current situation about this issue? thanks.

    did you try using the import schema element instead of the include elemnt?

  • Regarding validating XML against DTD

    hello,
    In my project I am receiving xml via HTTP post request
    and this XML needs to be validated against a DTD in a remote server.
    e.g. assume the xml to be
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE PUSH SYSTEM "http:\\whatever:xx\whatever\sms.dtd">
    <PUSH ICP="Partenaire" ADM="UtilisateurChezPartenaire" VERSION="1.0">
    </PUSH>
    the java code uses Xerces parser
          DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
          parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", true);
          parser.setProperty(
                             "http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-noNamespaceSchemaLocation",
                             "http:\\whatever:xx\whatever\sms.dtd"");
          parser.parse("c://localcopy/sms.xml");this Works fine.
    But in some case I receive xml file without any !DOCTYPE declaration
    (but is still needs to be validated against the same DTD as its mentioned in the business rules)
    in such case how can the XML be validated against the DTD.
    am I extected to add the
    <!DOCTYPE PUSH SYSTEM "http:\\whatever:xx\whatever\sms.dtd">
    to every XML via some XSLT script or is there a direct way of
    validating a xml that has no DOCTYPE reference to a DTD
    (the assumption is the DTD location is known beforehand)

    ok, i managed to solve the problem my self, using Transformer makes the job easier.
    here is the code for anyone who might run into the same problem.#
         public void whatEver(){
              try{
                   DocumentBuilderFactory dbFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
                   DocumentBuilder dBuilder = dbFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
                   Document xmlDocument = dBuilder.parse(new FileInputStream("c://a.xml"));
                   DOMSource source = new DOMSource(xmlDocument);
                   //StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
                   StreamResult result = new StreamResult("c://a.xml");
                   TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
                   Transformer transformer = tf.newTransformer();
                   transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM, "./transformations/Push_Gateway.dtd");
                   //TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
                   //Transformer newtransformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
                   transformer.transform(source, result);
              catch(Exception e){
                   e.printStackTrace();
         }the above code reads the a.xml file and adds/removes the DOCTYPE as specified in the transformer.setOutputProperty method and the same xml file is updated, this way different DTD could be referenced by the same xml and validated. this saves the process of adding/removing DOCTYPE via xslt.

  • Validating XML against an XML Schema using PL/SQL

    Hello everyone,
    I've a strange problem.
    I'm trying to validate an XMLTYPE variable against an XSD schema using the XMLisValid function.
    The XML I was trying to validate was returning false (0) when using this method.
    However, when I register the XSD against a column in a table and then insert this XMLTYPE into that column, I do not get any errors. If I change the XSD to ensure failure when using this method, I do get an error, so it is registered and working.
    I have then created a very basic XSD and both methods work when validating the XML against this. So obviously the more complicated XSD I want to validate against is making a difference, but I would expect them to either both fail or both pass, not one fail and one pass.
    Does anyone know why they'd be returning different results?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Steps to validate XML data against a schema in Oracle:
    1. Register your XSD in the database.
    begin
    dbms_xmlschema.registerschema(
    SchemaUrl,
    SchemaDoc,
    local => TRUE/FALSE);
    end;
    2. For validating your XML document against your registered schema, here is a sample pl/sql block.
    declare
    v_xml xmltype;
    begin
    v_xml := your_xml_document;
    v_xml.schemaValidate();
    end;
    Hope this helps :)

  • Getting an Out of memory exception while validating XML against XSD

    Thanks.

    Yes, but increasing the heap size is a temporary solution , isnt there a way where the XML can be validated against an XSD without having to load XSD in memory

  • FDM validation report with source data gives 0

    Hi All,
    I'm building a validation report to report on the source data (so using ~ instead of |).
    I've created a logic group to sum up the amounts to a member TOTAL.
    When i use the validation editor lookup screen i can browse for Entity, Account (TOTAL), UD1, UD2 and UD3.
    The category, Period and Year are left blank.
    When trying to test i have to select a test entity (which is the target entity dimension). However, these entities are nog in my source entities (since they are mapped).
    So the lookup value gives a value of 0 while a value should be there (since i've selected all dimensions).
    Any suggestions? i remember that in the past i did just select a random test entity and it did work.
    We're using version 11.1.1.3.
    Thanks!

    Hi Tony,
    What do you mean by target information.
    I only retrieve source information but i have to select an entity in the test window (where only the target entities are shown).
    So all fields in the import screen (except those in the pov) are defined and match the import screen members exact.
    Furthermore when i click browse for the years i get an error as well..

  • Validating XML against an external DTD

    I've three questions concerning the validation of an XML file on Checkin:
    1. Can the SimpleXMLParser validate an XML file against an external (internal) DTD.
    2. How do I have to construct the !DOCTYPE Reference in my XML file for the parser to find my external DTD
    3. Do I need to have a iFS type definition for my file to get it validated
    null

    Yes, DTD Validation is supported for 1.1
    but its not supported on a Per document basis
    or a per protocol basis.
    There is a System wide Property called
    IfsDefaultDTDValidation which if set to true
    will turn on validation for the entire
    system (all protocols)
    In addition, there is also support for a validate option to be passed to the parser
    (which is currently not exposed for 1.1 through the protocols) but a Custom Parser
    or application can set the validate mode on.
    The validate option setting takes preference
    over the IfsDefaultDTDValidation setting

  • Problem interface having only target datastore without source

    Hi,
    I have created an interface,there is no source my target is oracle table.
    This table is having columns like..
    current_date,load_cycle_id etc.
    For current date in mapping i wrote 'select sysdate from dual' or 'sysdate'
    For load_cycle_id = database sequence is mapped like
    <schemaname>.<seq_name>.nextval
    But it is not working properly,
    In the operator select query doesn't have the from clause table value because of this it is resulting in an error.I manually added dual in that it is working.
    plz let me know how to create interface without source datastore and necessary setting required.
    <schemaname>.<seq_name>.currval it is also not working,it is giving error like
    "not defined in this session"
    plz let me know how to solve these problems

  • PowerBI throwing errors for validated OData data source

    Hi,
    I've been creating OData web services for various operations for months now, and validate the service output using odata.org for all versions of Odata (V1-V4)
    Yet when my co-worker tries to load one of these OData services as a data source, PowerBI throws this error:
    [DataSource.Error] Cannot parse OData response result.  Error: A node of
    type 'StartArray' was read from the JSON reader when trying to read a
    value of a property; however, a 'PrimitiveValue' or 'StartObject' node
    was expected.
    The only OData source that has worked with PowerBI is one in which we turned off all properties that were not Strings.  In other words, as soon as the source has property types like Arrays, Objects or Dates, we get errors with PowerBI.  
    But the data validates with odata.org validator, so I am at a complete loss to understand how to "fix" data which is not broken.
    Is there a guide available somewhere showing what "subset" of OData that PowerBI accepts?  And are there plans to update PowerBI in the future to accept valid OData?

  • Validating XML against XSD

    Hi,
    I would like to validate XML against XSD using SAX parser. Can any one help, where I can get information. I could get some information of XML validation against DTD. But could not get much information for XSD validation.
    Which parser is good for validation against XSD? or shall I continue with SAX Parser?
    Kumaravel

    I use the "Summer 02 XML Pack" provided here at Sun, which is based on Xerces2 by Apache (http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j/index.html). Actually with that, validation against schemas is pretty much like validation against DTDs, as long as the schema is referenced in your XML file and you switch on schema validation in the parser like
    reader.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", true);
    reader.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema", true);Xerces2 works both with DOM and SAX (I use SAX). You should browse Apache's website a bit. There's not too much information, but I guess it's enough to get started.

  • Question about validating xml against schema

    Hi,
    I am new to JAXP. I try to validating a xml against a schema. I wrote following code:
    SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
    spf.setNamespace(true);
    spf.setValidating(true);
    SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();
    sp.setProperty("http://java.sun.com/xml/properties/jaxp/schemaLanguage",
    "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");
    sp.setProperty("http://java.sun.com/xml/properties/jaxp/schemaSource",
    "mySchema.xsd") ;
    sp.parse(<XML Document>, <ContentHandler);
    but when compile, it has error: can't resolve ""http://java.sun.com/xml/properties/jaxp/schemaLanguage", and
    "http://java.sun.com/xml/properties/jaxp/schemaSource".
    It seems it didn't support above two property.
    I saw some code in forum is:
    fact.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", true);
    fact.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema",true);
    fact.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema-full-checking", true);
    SAXParser sp = fact.newSAXParser();
    sp.setProperty("http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-noNamespaceSchemaLocation",schemas);
    Why sun tutorial use property:http://java.sun.com/xml/properties/jaxp/schemaLanguage
    and someone use:http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-noNamespaceSchemaLocation
    where to get information about setting properties for SAXParserFactory?
    Thanks

    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.

  • Issue in Store XML into Schema generated tables and Validation XML against registered schema.

    Hello friends,
    I am facing some problem when store xml into generated tables from registered schema.
    This is my Schema
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <xs:schema xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.abc.inf.in/test" targetNamespace="http://www.abc.inf.in/test" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">

    1. I Successfully registered Schema into database
    2. Then i generate table from registered Schema
    2. In my java code i validated XML document against Schema and it's successfully validate.
    3. But when i stored this XML into this generated table it's give me error
       Like :
    INSERT INTO XMLTABLE
    VALUES
    (XMLTYPE(bfilename('MYDIR','testabc.xml'),NLS_CHARSET_ID('AL32UTF8')))
    Error report:
    SQL Error: ORA-31061: XDB error: XML event error
    ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
    LSX-00333: literal "94032000" is not valid with respect to the pattern
    And i have to store this xml into this tables so what i have to do ?

    Thanks for your reply odie_63.
    I got this my error solution. My XML document is not well structured based on my registered XML Schema.
    Means In My XML Document there are some invalid value and that not match my schema pattern so it's gives this error
    SQL Error: ORA-31061: XDB error: XML event error
    ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
    LSX-00333: literal "94032000" is not valid with respect to the pattern
    For Solution we have two ways
    1. I have changed this literal "94032000" value in my xml file then save it.
    2.
    - We have to delete this schema then
    - we have to change Schema pattern for particular element
    like :--
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
      <xs:whiteSpace value="preserve"/>
      <xs:pattern value="[0-9]{3}"/>
    </xs:restriction>
    - then store xml into database it works..
    Thanks.

  • ORA-19201: Datatype not supported when validating XML against an XSD

    Hello.
    Info: using Oracle 10.2.0.1.0, Java components are installed.
    I've created an XML view using ora:view, which is validated against a registered XSD. This view is created successfully.
    But when I SELECT * from this view, it gives ORA-19201 - Datatype not supported.
    Can't understand why. I've matched the XML to the XSD, and the datatypes all look fine to me. I've referred to the XSD using the XMLFORMAT.CREATEFORMAT option. When I use the same option to specify "NO_SCHEMA", it returns the correct XML, but we need to validate it against the XSD.
    I'm thinking one of two things has happened here:
    1. I've made a mistake with either my registration, or how I've used XMLFORMAT to refer to the XSD.
    2. There's a bug in Oracle.
    My money's on 1. Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Ray.

    Hello Geoff, I didn't want to send any code until I knew someone was willing to look at it (there's a lot of it).
    Here is the XSD:

    The view is created with no errors. Selecting * from it, however, gives:

    Marrying the XML to the XSD shows nothing obviously wrong.

  • Locks made against source database (SQLServer 6.5 to 9.0.1.2 migration)

    I was wondering if there is any information about the types of locks that OMWB will take out on the source SQLServer database in a migration. From what I can tell these locks occur on the source database while the table data is loaded in to the target Oracle database. Are they taken at any other time during the migration process? How does OMWB determine what locks to take?
    I need to migrate several production SQLServer 6.5 databases and I need to understand how OMWB will perform locks so I don't bottleneck our production SQLServer databases while they are converted to Oracle. Most of the migration work will be performed off hours, but I still would like some insight into the locking. In a related question, how does OMWB maintain consistency between tables during the migration process?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi,
    You will be able to migrate from 6.5 to 9.3.1, if the 6.5 version is on a seperate server from the planned 9.3.1 version then you can use the migration wizard to do so.
    If you want to migrate users and groups make sure the 9.3.1 version is still in native security mode, otherwise you will need to use esscmd/maxl to extract user information and then import.
    The migration wizard will not take the data so you should really export that from your source.
    Cheers
