Validating TLF data with a schema?

According to the following post rdermer claims that there isn’t a XSD for TLF markup:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2223205#2223205
But what other ways can we validate our TLF data?  And excuse my ignorance, but why can't I use a XSD to validate TLF data in a XML file?

I think you could use a schema if you made one, I just don't know of one that already exists that you could use for this purpose.

  • Please add XSD Schema for validating TLF data in TLF 3.0

    It would be very beneficial to have a XSD schema for validating TLF data.  Please add this to TLF 3.0.  There are a couple of posts where others have already asked for this...

    Thanks!

    Sure Gang!
    We could use the XML schema to validate the TLF markup that we are generating from our publishing system.  We generate XML files which include the TLF markup and a XML schema would be very beneficial to validate that markup to make sure we are doing everything right.

  • Catch all error information while validating xml content with xsd schema

    Hi experts,
    I created a java mapping to validating the input xml content with xsd schema (schema validation). What I want is to catch all error message to the xml not just the first error. I used SAXParser in sapxmltoolkit.jar to do the schema validation. The below is a part of my java mapping.
    XMLReader parser = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader("com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.SAXParser");
    parser.setFeature( "http://xml.org/sax/features/validation" ,  true);
    parser.setFeature( "http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema" , true);
    parser.setProperty("http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");          parser.setProperty("http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaSource",this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(schema)); // schema is my schema name
    parser.setErrorHandler(new ParseErrorHandler()); // ParseErrorHandler is my own ErrorHandler which extends DefaultHandler
    parser.parse(new InputSource(new ByteArrayInputStream(sinput.getBytes())));
    // In error handler, I comment all code so as not to throw any exception
    public class ParseErrorHandler extends DefaultHandler
         public void error(SAXParseException e) throws SAXException
              // sSystem.out.println("Error" + e.getMessage());
              // throw e;
         public void fatalError(SAXParseException e)
              // throw e;
              // System.out.println("SAP Fatal Error" + e.getMessage());
    Unfortunately the program always stopped while catching the first error. Check the below log.

    I tried using Xerces and JAXP to do validation, the same error happened. I have no idea on this. Does xi has its own error handler logic? Is there any body can make me get out of this?

  • How to Map XML data with XSD Schema in JAXB

    Hello,
    I am very much new to JAXB.
    I am in need of someone help to go further in my dev.
    I am having an XSD and i could able to do marshall and unmarshall using JAXB.
    My problem is...
    Consider followings are my Schema...
    - <person id="general" help="USER.DOM.HELP.GENERAL" label="USER.DOM.LABEL.GENERAL" access="READWRITE">
    <attribute id="Name" mandatory="true" type="STRING" access="READONLY" widget="NONE" />
    <attribute id="login" label="USER.LABEL.LOGIN" help="USER.HELP.LOGIN" regexp="[A-a]" type="STRING" summary="true" access="WCREATE_RUPDATE" widget="TEXTFIELD" />
    <attribute id="firstname" summary="true" label="USER.LABEL.FIRSTNAME" help="USER.HELP.FIRSTNAME" type="STRING" regexp="[A-a]" access="READWRITE" widget="TEXTFIELD" />
    In this example a person contains set of attributes... some are mandatory(Name)...
    In my application i will unmarshall the the schema file and show in GUI as a set of attributes when the operator want to create a person. And its very well working.
    Now say for example, i am requesting my server to show all the created persons and its showing. when i click on the particular person the GUI will place the request to the server to get the corresponding date for the selected person.
    But the response contains only the mandatory attribute.. i mean Name.... this may be because of the way my server working. So now i want to show the operator all the set of attributes for that person with the Name.
    I mean i need to merge the schema with me resultant data and show it in the GUI.
    My result is in the form of xml stream. And i will convert my schema also in the form of XML...
    Now i need to merge both of this XMl and need to present in the GUI...
    Any help please...
    Thank You!!!

    Still i am not getting any reply :(

  • Problem inserting and querying XML data with a recursive XML schema

    </xs:schema>I registered this schema and created the category table. Then I inserted a new row using the code below:
    insert into category_a values
    (XMlElement("category",
          xmlattributes('categoryAAA' as "id"),
          xmlforest ('ma categ' as "name"),
          (xmlelement("description", (xmlelement("text", 'find doors blest now whiles favours carriage tailor spacious senses defect threat ope willow please exeunt truest assembly <keyword> staring travels <bold> balthasar parts attach </bold> enshelter two <emph> inconsiderate ways preventions </emph> preventions clasps better affections comes perish </keyword> lucretia permit street full meddle yond general nature whipp <emph> lowness </emph> grievous pedro')))    
    The row is successfully inserted as witnessed by the results of row counting. However, I cannot extract data from the table. First, I tried using SqlPlus* which hangs up and quits after a while. I then tried to use SQL Developer, but haven't got any result. Here follow some examples of queries and their results in SQL Developer:
    Query 1
    select * from category
    Result : the whole row is returned
    Query 2
    select xmlquery('$p/category/description' passing object_value as "p" returning content) from category
    Result: "SYS.XMLTYPE"
    now I tried to fully respect the nested structure of description element in order to extract the text portion of <bold> using this query
    Query 3
    select  xmlquery('$p/category/description/text/keyword/bold/text()' passing object_value as "p" returning content) from  category_a
    Result: null
    and also tried to extract the text portion of element <text> using this query
    Query 4
    select  xmlquery('$p/category/description/text/text()' passing object_value as "p" returning content) from  category_a
    Result: "SYS.XMLTYPE".
    On the other hand, I noticed, from the result of query 1, that the opening tags of elements keyword and bold are encoded as the less than operator "&lt;". This explains why query 3 returns NULL. However, query 4 should display the text content of <text>, which is not the case.
    My questions are about
    1. How to properly insert the XML data while preserving the tags (especially the opening tag).
    2. How to display the data (the text portion of the main Element or of the nested elements).
    The problem about question 1 is that it is quite unfeasible to write a unique insert statement because the structure of <description> is recursive. In other words, if the structure of <description> was not recursive, it would be possible to embed the elements using the xmlelement function during the insertion.
    In fact, I need to insert the content of <description> from a source table (called category_a) into a target table (+category_b+) automatically .
    I filled category_a using the Saxloader utility from an flat XML file that I have generated from a benchmark. The content of <description> is different from one row to another but it is always valid with regards to the XML Schema. The data is properly inserted as witnessed by the "select * from category_a" instruction (500 row inserted). Besides, the opening tags of the nested elements under <description> are preserved (no "&lt;"). Then I wrote a PL/SQL procedure in which a cursor extracts the category id and category name into varchar2 variables and description into an XMLtype variable from category_a. When I try to insert the values into a category_b, I get the follwing error:
    LSX-00213: only 0 occurrences of particle "text", minimum is 1which tells that the <text> element is absent (actually it is present in the source table).
    So, my third question is why are not the tags recognized during the insertion?
    Can anyone help please?

    Hello,
    indded, I was using an old version of Sqlplus* (8.0.60.0.0) because I had a previous installation (oracle 10g XE). Instead, I used the Sqlplus* shipped with the 11g2database (version 11.2.0.1.0). All the queries that I wrote work fine and display the data correctly.
    I also used the XMLSERIALIZE function and can now display the description content in SQL Developer.
    Thank you very much.

    CREATE TABLE category_a of XMLType XMLTYPE store AS BINARY XML
        XMLSCHEMA "xmldb/category_auction.xsd" ELEMENT "category";Now, there still remains a problem of how to insert the "description" content which I serialized as a CLOB data into another table as XML. To this purpose, I wrote a view over the Category_a table as follows:
    CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW "AUCTION_XWH"."CATEGORY_V" ("CATEGORY_ID", "CNAME", "DESCRIPTION") AS
      select category_v."CATEGORY_ID",category_v."CNAME",
      XMLSerialize(content ( xmlquery('$p/category/description/*' passing object_value as "p" returning content)) as clob) as "DESCRIPTION"
      from  auction.category_a p,

    columns  category_id varchar2(15) path '@id',
              cname varchar2(20) path 'name') category_v;Then, I wrote a procedure to insert data into the Category_xwh table (the source and target tables are slightly different: the common elements are just copied wereas new elements are created in the target table). The code of the procedure is the following:
    create or replace PROCEDURE I_CATEGORY AS
    v_cname VARCHAR2(30);
    v_description clob ;
    v_category_id VARCHAR2(15);
    cursor mycursor is select category_id, cname, description from category_v;
    BEGIN
    open mycursor;
      loop
      /*retrieving the columns*/
      fetch mycursor into v_category_id, v_cname, v_description ;
      exit when mycursor%notfound;
      insert into category_xwh values
      (XMlElement("category",

                                                                                   xmlattributes('allcategories' as "all_category_id")))
        xmlforest (
                  v_cname as "cat_name",
                  v_description as "description")    
    end loop;
      commit;
      close mycursor;
    END I_CATEGORY;When I execute the procedure, I get the following error:
    LSX-00201: contents of "description" should be elements onlyso, I just wonder if this is because v_description is considered as plain text and not as XML text, even if its content is XML. Do I need to use a special function to cast the CLOB as XML?
    Thanks for your help.

  • XML generation with SAP data using XML schema - Reg

    Hello experts,
      My requirement is , SAP( ztable data )  data has to be transferred to third party software folder.Third party using XML so they requires output from SAP in XML format.
    For that third party software guys told me that they will give their own XML schema to me.I have to generate XML file with SAP data using their XML schema.
    Generating XML file with their Schema should be underlined.
    I studied that call transformation statement helps for this.
    Even then i don't have clear idea about this topic.
    Please brief me about how to use their XML schema to generate XML with my own sap data.
    Thanks in advance experts.

  • How to share data in "User_*" tables with another schema

    I would like to share the data in the USER_SEGMENTS table with another schema. If I create a view and grant select on the view, when the other schema queries the view the data is identical to themselves querying the SYS.user_segments table directly.
    create view sys_user_segments as select * from sys.user_segments;
    grant select on sys_user_segments to A;My guess is that the SYS.user_segments table is a view based on the current user.
    Is there a way to share this data without creating a copy of the table?
    Oracle: 10g
    Thanks

    Hi,
    All the data dictionary "tables" whose names start with user_ (or all_ or dba_) are actually views, and what results they bring back depend on what schema you logged in to. I don't think there's any way to allow user A to directly see what's in user B's version of user_segments.
    Why do you need this? Can you use the all_ views instead, by giving A some privileges on B's objects?
    Failing that, you can replicate the data into a regular table. Inside a AUTHID DEFINER stored procedure, the data dictionary views (such as user_segments) are the versions of the procedure owner, so B can write a stored procedure (let's call it populate_my_segments) that populates a regular table (let's call it my_segements), and then grant EXECUTE privilges on populat_my_segments and SELECT privileges on my_segements to user A. A can then refresh the table and look at it whenever he wants to.
    If A only needs to see a little information, e.g. the total number of bytes, from B's user_segments, then B can write a function just to return that information.

  • Merging data from 2 schemas with same object structure into one schema

    Hi
    I want to merge data from 2 schemas in different environments ( say test1 and test 2) into 1 schema ( say Test_final) for testing. Both these schemas are having same structure, the data can be same or different.
    What I did is that I took an export of schema on Test1 and then import it into Test_final. Now I need to merge/append data from Test2 into Test_final.
    I can not merge the data with import due to primary key constraints and also import doesnt support this feature, so I tried SQL*Loader to "append" the data by using sequence to generate Primary key.
    But my worries are that since new primary keys are generated so foreign keys will become invalidated and the data will not be consistent.
    Is there any other way to do this task..
    Regards
    Raman

    This approach might be better...
    create table test_final
    as
    select *
    from schema1.test1
    insert into test_final
    select t2.* from schema2.test1 ,  test_final tf
    where t2.pk != tf.pk
    /...assuming duplicate primary keys mean duplicate records. If that assumption is not the case then you have a more complex data migration exercise on your hands and you need to figure out some rules to determine which version of the data takes precedence.
    Cheers, APC

  • Mapping with xml-schema XML-data to relational tables

    Hello,
    is it possible to map data from xml documents to relational tables with xml-schema?
    I mean not in nested tables but in relational tables with primary and foreign keys!
    With SQL Server 2005 it is very easy, I dont believe that Oracle couldn't do this!
    I searched but i cant find anything about that!
    Thx
    user445232

    indeed, oracle does this for xml schema based xmltype data, however, these underlying tables are not accessable to the application. Maybe It should for next version, so folks who like to use relational model can use it without mapping it manually.
    Actually, nested tables, are the same, their underlying tables (segments) are indeed relational tables, oracle manages them internally and not visiable to the application. You can find them in the user_segments, user_objects views though.

  • Please put a cost object with valid JV data for GL accoutnt (line 001)

    Dear All,
    When the user is trying to post ASKBN, They are getting an error saying "Please put a cost object with valid JV data for GL accoutnt (line 001)"
    So we tried to look up the error, and the WBS, Cost center, profit center and JVA details are all available in place. Still cant understand why this error comes. And why the system is asking to put JV details when they are available.
    On checking, WBS has an AUC and AUC has the cost center which has the JV details and PC details. So I think everything is in place.
    Can someone help please and let us know if we are missing anything else that needs to be checked ?
    Thanks,
    Hari Dharen

    Dear Hari Dharen,
    if something else in missung you'll get a error message if you run ASKBN in testmodus.

  • How to read data with different XML schemas within the single connection?

    I have Oracle 11g database
    I access it through jdbc:oracle:thin, version 11.2.0.3, same as xdb.
    I have several tables, each has one XMLType column, all schema-based.
    There are three different XML schemata registered in the DB
    I may need to read the XML data from several tables.
    If all the XMLTypes have the same XML schema ,there is no problem,
    If the schemata are different, the second read throws BindXMLException.
    If I reset the connection between the reads of the XMLType column with different schemata, it works.
    The question is: how can I configure the driver, or the connection to be able to read the data with different XML schemata without resetting the connection (which is expensive).
    The code to get the XMLType data is textbook implementation:
    1   ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery( sql ) ;
    2   String result = null ;
    3    while(resultSet.next()) {
    4   SQLXML sqlxml = resultSet.getSQLXML(1) ;
    5   result = sqlxml.getString() ;
    6   sqlxml.free();
    7   }
    8   resultSet.close();
    9    return result ;

    It turns out, that I needed to serialize the XML on the server and read it as Blob. Like this:
    1    final Statement statement = connection.createStatement() ;
    2    final String sql = String.format("select xmlserialize(content xml_content_column as blob encoding 'UTF-8') from %s where key='%s'", table, key ) ;
    3   ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery( sql ) ;
    4   String result = null ;
    5    while(resultSet.next()) {
    6   Blob blob = resultSet.getBlob( 1 );
    7   InputStream inputStream = blob.getBinaryStream();
    8   result = new Scanner( inputStream ).useDelimiter( "\\A" ).next();
    9   inputStream.close();
    10   blob.free();
    11   }
    12   resultSet.close();
    13   statement.close();
    14
    15   System.out.println( result );
    16    return result ;
    17
    Then it works. Still, can't get it work with XMLType in resultset.On the client unwrapping XML blows up when trying to switch to different XML schema. JDBC/XDB problem?
