When to use XML file Datasource

Hi,
I would like to know under what scenario we have to use the XML file as a datasource?
Is it possibe to extract data from a email.
The client is getting data in email everyday and is it possible to upload this data directly from the email.
or do i have to convert this data in the form of a .csv flat file and upload.
please give an idea if i can use the XML file upload facility provided in BI, whether i can use this in my
scenario.
regards,
man

Debugging mode stopped automatically when using xml file load

Dear Sir,
I am trying to develop a new add-on using xml files for creating new forms. In fact I was using the sample code delivered with the SDK ( WorkingWithXml - under VB.NET). The Problem is that when I am in the debuging mode and after the form load. the application goes out of the debugging mode and stop action.
In fact what i was trying to do first is to create a new menu and then when i click on this menu a new form appear but once the menu is loaded the application stop the debugging mode automatically.
Can somebody clarify to me what I am doing wrong and why the debugging mode is stopped automatically, noting that i am still in the add-on developpement phase.
As i mentioned above i used the WorkingWithXml sample code (VB.NET) and i have adjusted in a way to load menu and then on the menu click i load my form.
Please advice
Best Regards

Hi Mary,
Put your code between in a Try Catch block. In the Catch part use the following:
oApplication.MessageBox("CompError: " & oCompany.GetLastErrorCode.ToString & ", " & oCompany.GetLastErrorDescription & vbCrLf & "Message: " & ex.Message)
This should give you a clearer idea of what the error is all about.
The most likely reason is that there is something wrong with your XML file.

How xml will send message to XSD then how wsdl interaction then to composite ?

XSD (XML Schema Definition), is an abstract representation of a XML characteristics.
The WSDL (Web Services Description Language), describes the functionality offered by your web service.
You can say what operations your services offers, and describe the messages used for this operations in your XSD.

Creation of External table by using XML files.

I am in the process of loading of XML file data into the database table. I want to use the External Table feature for this loading. Though we have the external table feature with Plain/text file, is there any process of XML file data loading into the Database table by using External table?
I am using Oracle 9i.
Appreciate your responses.

The XML file which U posted is working fine and that proved that external table can be created by using xml files.
Now My problem is that I have xml files which is not as the book.xml, my xml file is having some diff format. below is the extracts of the file ...

My problem is the Item Name and Direction the value of both(ex PSCReceived or UASReceived) will be treated as the coulmn name of the table and '0' would be the value of that column. I am confused how to create the external table creation program for that.
I would really appreciate your responses.

Publish app that uses XML file.

Hi, I want to create an App which uses XML file as a data source. I want that XML file is online file on my server downloaded in first use, and looking for changes every time user want to do this, so i have a legal question if apple can release my app in AppStore or they can block it?

Thanks,
I have legal right, this is my XML file on my server.
My main concern is that changing XML in fact i may change entire app. And this make me think apple would not like it. So my question is: maybe someone had similar experience.

When / why use XML to store data instead of database table ?

Hi All,
I still not use XML much in applications and don't know much about its utilization.
I read here and there about storing data as XML instead of into database tables.
- could any body please tell me when / why use XML to store data instead of database table ?
e.g : store inventory per warehouse in XML format. ?
- What is the other cases or reasons of extracting database records into XML or vice versa ?
- is there any good pdf on this ?
Thank you for your help,
xtanto

It depends entirely what you want to accomplish with the 'XML in the database'. There are basically 3 independent methods: As CLOB, as XMLType views or as native XMLType 'columns'
Each method has advantages and disadvantages, especially in the performance vs purpose tradeoff.
The Oracled Press book "Oracle Database 10g XML & SQL Design, Build, & Manage XML Applications in Java, C, C++, & PL/SQL" is highly recommended for anyone interested in Oracle and XML. http://books.mcgraw-hill.com/getbook.php?isbn=0072229527&template=oraclepress

Importing data- using xml file into HANA Table

Hi,
We are using (HDB STUDIO ) - revision 60.......
Is it possible to import data using XML file into HANA table (Master,Fact tables)?
(Without using any intermediate adapters for conversion of data.....)
Can any one suggest us........
Thank you.

Hi user450616
I am a bit confused about what you are trying to achieve.
Are you:
1. importing a CSV file into APEX
2. adding an extra column to the Oracle Table
3. populating the extra column with the CSV filename?
Let us know if this is what you are trying to do.
Cheers,

How to store the data instead of memoryengine to database when use XML file

Hi Experts,
I have doubt which is into XML to database data transfer.
While transferring the data from XML to database the tables will be store in memory for the xml files, my aim is instead of storing this in memory engine
is there any way to store the data in to the data base itself..
I am assuming when the data size increases say for example huge amount data, storing this much of data is big issue here right, so to avoid this is there any way to store
this data directly in the database level.
Please understand my requirement or else I have the good explanation about my requirement and please assist me how do this job....
Thx,
Sahadeva.

Hi Experts,
For this job I have applied the
jdbc:snps:xmll?f=/mydata/xml/file.xml&s=wrk_admin&dp_driver=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver&dp_url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xel&dp_user=wrk_admin&dp_password=bPyXS2eRXw8fWnKEmTYSEf&dp_schema=wrk_admin&dp_doc=Y
my schema name is wrk_admin
xml file name is mydata
jdbc driver: localhost:1521:xe
Encoded password: I have encoded the pwd from cmd:c:oracle\oracle_odi1\oracledi\agent\bin\encode wrk_admin
The above are the details I have applied to my ODI studio for creating the dataserver.
After applying this I got the following error.
Could you please correct me here if I am wrong...

How can I compare the actual and expected values in Unit testing when they are XML files?

I have created a unit test for a method in VS 2008. My expected value and actual value are XMLs. Therefore though the output is same as I expect it gives an error as I am doing string comparison now. How can I compare these 2 XMLs in expected output and
actual output format in Unit Testing?
mayooran99

In unit test, when you want to validate XML files, you feed them into the class / struct that you want to feed the XML into and compare the values there (You don't just feed it in XMLReader and feed it line by line, right? But if it really is, that's how
you should also test it in unit tests).
In short, how you'd use the XML in your code, that's how you should test it in unit test.

Using XML file in Java script to create Google Map

Hello,
I work for a non-profit in San Diego as a GIS Specialist. I have had to teach myself about some scripting to create some dynamic maps, but I am still very limited in my skills, so I have had to explore the internet in order to discover various tutorials and examples that have led me on a positive path.
Right now I am working on a Google Mash-Up that will incorporate over 14,000 records, which will appear as separate markers that will have pop-up info bubbles with additional info inside (using html), once the marker is clicked.
Here is the XML script example that is used in the tutorial I am following:
<markers>
<marker lat="43.65654" lng="-79.90138" html="Some stuff to display in the<br>First Info Window"
label="Marker One" />
<marker lat="43.91892" lng="-78.89231" html="Some stuff to display in the<br>Second Info Window"
label="Marker Two" />
<marker lat="43.82589" lng="-79.10040" html="Some stuff to display in the<br>Third Info Window"
label="Marker Three" />
</markers>
...and this is how it looks when the file is retrieved by the java script and mapped: http://econym.googlepages.com/example_map3.htm
This is the java script that creates the Google Map. I have emboldened the section of the script that retrieves the data and parses it to create the markers:

The "Marker" variable instructs Google Maps to label the marker with a particular color. I will be so grateful to the person(s) that helps me get through this wall that I have been hitting for a long time. It's very difficult without having the luxury of peers who know about these types of issues.
Thank you!!

Here is the relationship: They both contain geographic coordinates that produce a point on a map. I will use the rest of the information in the second xml file (company name, address, link, etc.) to produce the information for the bubble that will pop up once the marker is clicked.
My problem is that I need to try to keep the second xml file in a relatively similar format, so the rest of my records will still be accepted. If I had a smaller amount of records I could place them directly into the javascript, but because there are so many records, I need to use an xml file that can be retrieved by the java script. I chose to use the second type of xml file because I can easily copy and past the 14,000+ records that are now in excel document.
After the xml issue is corrected I need to rework the javascript that is now emboldened so that it will read the new xml file correctly. I included the first xml file so that the readers will understand what type of xml format is currently being used to produce the markers in the tutorial map.

Using XML File as a Data Server

OK - here's my scenario:
- Have an XML file that I am holding parameters (i.e log file folder) in
- I have set the XML file as a data server (which test connects OK) and created physical and logical schemas in Topology Manager
- In Designer, have created a data model for this file
What I am trying to do is populate/refresh a global variable with a value from the XML file; however, when I make a change to the value in the XML file, the value does not get passed into the variable.
In the global variable, it is set to refresh from the xml data source and in a package I am using a variable step set to refresh but still the data does not update with the current values in the file.
Couple of other things - if I go to the data model and view the data, it sees the value that is in the xml file but the variable is not getting the same value - it seems to be using some kind of cached value. Also, if I close any open ODI apps (Designer, Operator, etc.) and re-open, the values (sometimes) seem to reflect what is in the file.
Crux of the post - am I missing something so obvious that I cannot see it or has anyone else experienced this kind of issue.
Thanks,

OK - I got this working but in order to do this I followed some info from another post and changed the structure of the XML.
Previously, it was structured as:
<params>
<param>
<name>Test1</name>
<value>Some Value</value>
</param>
<param>
<name>Test2</name>
<value>Some Value2</value>
</param>
</params>
Now I have changed it to:
<params>
<param name="Test1" value="Some Value" />
<param name="Test2" value="Some Value2" />
</params>
I also added the dod=true value into the JDCB url.
Now, one of these circumstances fixed my issue (of which I am very glad) but I don't know which one :-) .... and I currently don't have the time to find out.
I may investigate this further in the future (and post accordingly).
Thanks,

Using XML as datasource of JList

Hi,
I new with java and trying to figure out how to create guis with netbeans 5.5.
I have dragged and dropped a jlist but I couldn't find out how to put a datasource on it. There were ways to use a database (create a connection then connect to it) but I want to use an xml file as datasource instead of a database.
How can I do it? Both drag and drop options and writing my own code is appreciated. If you can point me to a tutorial that is also welcome.
Thank you for your time

1. Parse the xml
2. Add the nodes from the parsed xml into any of the following
2.1 Array of objects (Object[])
2.2 Vector
2.3 ListModel (preferred)
3. Create the JList using the appropriate constructor.
voila ...
Hope this helps,
PS.
