Variablize the datatypes in the select of data from XML to Oracle

Hi All,
I'm new to XML to Oracle data integration. I do have clob column that has the XML data and trying to bring it into the Oracle relational tables, as a part of it we are developing PL/SQL procedure that calls this CLOB column, I want to know if we can variablize the data types ( Just like tablename.columnname%type) in the select of the XML data:
select v.instrid, v.endtoendid, v.txid, v.cd, v.ccy,
replace(v.intrbksttlmamt,'.',',') as intrbksttlmamt, v.chrgbr, v.bic1, v.nm1, v.adrline11, v.adrline12, v.ctry1, v.iban1,
v.bic2, v.bic3, v.nm2, v.adrline21, v.adrline22, v.ctry2, v.iban2, v.cdtrref, v.addtlrmtinf
from the_data w,
xmltable(xmlnamespaces(default 'urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pacs.008.001.01'),
'/Document/pacs.008.001.01/CdtTrfTxInf'
passing xmltype(w.the_column)
columns instrid varchar2(300) path 'PmtId/InstrId',
endtoendid varchar2(150) path 'PmtId/EndToEndId',
txid varchar2(200) path 'PmtId/TxId',
cd varchar2(50) path 'PmtTpInf/SvcLvl/Cd',
) v
As you see above in the bold I do define the data types after every column name , the problem is incase there is change in datatype I do need to manually edit the procedure to change the datatype is there a way I can variablize them something like tablename.columname%type.
Any answers are greatly appreciated.

Two questions:
1. Does your database have a version number?
SELECT * FROM v$version;2. Why are you storing XML in a CLOB column rather than one of XMLType?

How to store data from xml in oracle database

Hello All
Could anyone tell me ways of storing XML in Oracle and whats the best one in terms of performance issues.
any URL to this q/s would be great.
thanks

Ben,
The following link as some information regarding DOM API and XSQL.
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:2923508047773696280::NO::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID,F4950_P8_CRITERIA:17309127931717
For XML DB, you may want to create an XMLSchema and build a table off the schema definition. Then use WEBDAV to load the xml into a folder (ie object table) Once the xml is in the database you could build a view for a relational look at the data.
Example from XMLDB Techical White Paper doc.
create or replace view PURCHASEORDER_MASTER_VIEW
(reference, requestor, userid, costcenter,...)
as select extractValue(Value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/Reference'),
extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/Requestor'),
extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/User'),
extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/CostCenter'),...
from PURCHASEORDER p

Import/insert data from XML into Oracle database tables?

Hi. (I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0 and Oracle 10g)
I have been able to export the data from one of my database tables by using a View Object and .writeXML.
Now, I want to take an xml file that is formatted in the same way as what is spit out by the writeXML and put that info in my database table. I followed online examples and have tried using .readXML like so:
Element element = XMLDoc.getDocumentElement();
vo.readXML(element, -1);
I know it is sort of working, because at first I got an error message that one of the required attributes was missing. So, I added that attribute to my xml file and ran my code. No errors. But, I checked my database, and the new records were not added.
Is there something I have done wrong? Or is there perhaps something I left out? I also noticed there were several versions of readXML like readFromXML. Which one should I use and how?
Thanks.

KUBA, I changed my code to match your example:
DocumentBuilder db = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
File xmlFile = new File("C:/myfilehere.xml");
Document doc = db.parse(xmlFile);
Element element = doc.getDocumentElement();
vo.readXML(element, -1);
vo.getDBTransaction().commit();
I still get no errors, but my database table has no new records.
Any ideas why?
Thanks.

Data from xml to oracle tables

Hi All,
I need to store data from the XML documents into appropriate tables in ORACLE. Note: I dont need to store the document itself, but the data in the document needs to be stored in the tables. What is the right way of doing this?
I previoulsy used SQLXML3.0 to load data from the XML documents to SQL server database ( .xsd will take care of the mapping), but we now need to store data into Oracle tables.
Thanks,

There is a XMLDB demo authored by Mark Drake. This will explain a lot about Oracle XMLDB.
AFter reading, if you still have questions post back to the list

Hi James,
I have followed upto step No: 12 .
Please could you let me know how to link the XML file on my local drive to BI,

Thanks In Advance

1. Create a Infosource(ZIS), with transfer structure in accordance with the structure in the XML file. (You can open the XML file with MS Excel.This way you can get to know the structure).
2. Activate the transfer rules.
3. After activation ;from the Menu Bar , Select Extras>Create BW Datasource with SOAP connection.
4.Now Activate the Infosurce again, this creates an XML based Datasource(6AXXX...)
5.These steps would create two sub nodes under the Infosource(ZIS).
6.Select Myself system and create a data package and execute it run in Init mode(without Data Transfer).
7. This would create an entry in RSA7(BW delta Queue)
8. Again create another Delta Infopackage under it, and run it. Now the Datasource(6AXXXXXX..) would turn green in RSA7.
9.In Function builder(SE37) select your FM( do a search ,F4, on the datasource 6AXXX....) .
10.Inside this RFC based FM , from the Menu Bar select Utilities>more Utilities>Create Web services>From Function module.
11.A wizard will guide you through the next steps .
12.once this is done a Web serrvice would be enabled in WSADMIN. Select your FM and execute it.
13.From here you can upload the data from XML file into BW delta queue.

What does this mean?
So I browse through forum & i got to know that i need to initial the UTL_FILE_DIR ="C:/OracleProject" in init.ora
So can i edit the init.ora with notepad.When i tried to do that it says permission denied
In my system it shows the init.ora file in path C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\config\scripts
but there is also other file initXETemp in the same path do i need to do the changes in it.
I have tried even editing the SPFILE as mentioned below:
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\dbs\SPFILEEXE - I had edit this file using notepad & set the value of UTL_FILE_DIR ="C:/OracleProject". So next time when i restarted i'm unable to log on to the database.
So i had reinstall the software again.
Could you please let me know how to proceed..

2. either that column should not contain any data.
Please suggest how i can handle this situation.
Thanks.

Hello,
Suppose you have currently datatype of column as VARCHAR and you want to convert it in NUMBER. Do following
1-Add another column with NUMBER datatype in your table.
ALTER table tablename
ADD testcolumn NUMBER;2-Update your actual column data to this test column.
UPDATE tablename
SET testcolumn = actualcolumn;
COMMIT;3-Update your actual column data to null;
UPDATE tablename
SET actualcolumn = NULL;
COMMIT;4-Change Datatype of actual column.
ALTER table tablename
MODIFY actualcolumn NUMBER;5-Update actualcolumn to testcolumn

Flilter webpart to read the data from XML template

Hi
Is there any out of the box webpart to read data from xml file for filtering in sharepoint 2010.
The filter dialog look like following functionality and allow to select only one value.
.Paretn1
     chiild1
     child2
.Parent2
    child1
     child2
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to read data from xml file with the out of the box web part.
There is no out of the box web part for us to read the data from the xml file in SharePoint 2010.
However, you can create your own custom web part to achieve it.
There are some articles about the read the xml file, you can have a look at them.

When I was talking on phone, suddenly the phone was switched off. i tried to switch it on but it gave the message....connect to itunes for set up. when I connected it to itunes...it gave the message, itunes can not read data from this iphone, restore it

when I was talking on phone, suddenly the phone was switched off.
i tried to switch it on but it gave the message....connect to itunes for set up.
when I connected it to itunes...it gave the message, itunes can not read data from this iphone, restore it to factory settings. It also said while restoring ypu will lose all media data but you can restore the contacts.
I restored the factory settings....the phone was on recovery mode...it was verified by itunes and all that..but in the end it again said that iphone has some problem and can not function right now.
after that when ever i connect it with itunes, it gives the message, it can not activate the iphone further, try again later or contact customer service.
What to do now?????? Customer service people say..it is hardware problem

If it's a hardware problem, then the phone will need to be replaced.
There is no magic that can fix a hardware problem.

Transfer Of Data from Sap to Oracle with the help of Enterprise Services.

Hello,
We want to transfer data from Sap to Oracle using standard Enterprise Services.Some fields were not available in the existing standard Enterprise Services,so we have enhanced the existing Services by writing code inside BADI available with Enterprise Services.Rest of the fields we have mapped with the existing fields available in standard Enterprise Services.But,the Oracle people want to fetch all data from Sap without entering any input as a mandatory field in the Enterprise Services.The existing standard Enterprise Services require to enter any field as mandatory and are not accepting the range in input for multiple records.e.g.All enterprise Services related to Sales Orders are displaying only one sales Order.We have searched all Enterprise Services for Sales Order(related to reading of data),but not able to find service which would display mutiple records without entering any input.ECC_SALESORDER009QR is the only service which is displaying multiple records without entering any input,but the required fields are not available in this service.So,kindly suggest what we need to do further.
1.Should we go for customization of services completely,so that it would fulfil our requirement.
2.Are there standard Enterprise Services exists which would we give us data in range(all records).
If they exists,please specify the names of Services for reading Purchase Order,Production Order,BOM etc.
Thanks & Regards,
Divya.

Hi Vaibhav,
Let me tell you the objective in detail.
Objective.
To develop a package solution which will work as a bridge between Oracle APS and SAP system so that customers using SAP will be able to use advantages of Oracle APS for their planning needs.
This will consist of following major components:
OA Templates is an Oracle utility to load data from any legacy system to Oracle APS using standard flat files.
Oracle has developed an Application Integration Architecture which is a standard architecture used for integration of Oracle products with other systems.
Enterprise services is an SAP utility to communicate with SAP.
AIA canonicals are standard canonicals developed by Oracle where we have to map data fields from destination system (Oracle APS) and source system (SAP)
Fusion middleware is being used to develop application interfaces following AIA standards.
Tasks at stake:
Mapping of Oracle APS fields and SAP Enterprise Service fields to AIA canonicals
Technical work of developing middleware using Oracle Fusion
From Sap side,we have to map fields which we have received from Oracle with the help of Enterprise Services,rest consumption of these services is done by Oracle guys.So,suggest is there enterprise services available which would give us multiple records .
Thanks & Regards,
Divya.

What is the recommended way to obtain tracking data from carriers post XSI

We currently run an old version of SAP Business Connector. We are in the process of migrating all interfaces off BC onto PI. The one remaining interface we have problems is the XSI (Express Delivery Interface) interface we have with ECC06 and UPS via the BC server. The interface works but is not stable and we would like to decommission it if we are able.
I'm not 100% clear but it appears that XSI is no longer the recommended solution for obtaining tracking data from carriers. What is the recommend method today? We'd be happy to use a PI or ABAP solution but would prefer a standard solution that was supported by SAP and UPS.

If it's DOS/FAT32, you can only size file sizes up to 4GB.
If you are using it on a Mac only, format it Mac OS X HFS+.

What is the best way to transfer my date from my old iMac to my new iMac?

what is the best way to transfer my date from my old iMac to my new iMac? I don't have a time capsule, so I cannot use time machine.
thanks

Your best bet by far is to use Setup Assistant when the new Mac first starts up to transfer directly from the old one.
It's similar to Migration Assistant, but doing it that way will avoid having an extra user account.
Either way, you can connect them via FireWire, Thunderbolt, or your network, but avoid wireless if at all possible. You can connect both to your netwrork via Ethernet, or put a single cable between the two.
See Using Setup Assistant on Mountain Lion or Lion for details.
