Xcelsius connectivity through XML data button

While using XML data button, In URL Box we need an script.that will return the correctly formatted XML data source How can we do the coding of that script and How to do its Local Hosting?
Is there any other method or application that can be provided in the URL box so that it also returns the correctly formatted XML data source? are there some demos of it?//

Yes, Data connection works. I can connect to Xcel, Access, xml data.
In fact What I am trying is to do is thi:
1 - From a user interface with some select dn list box
2 - Use adodb connection to pull data from an access database with the selected info in the UI
3 - format selected data as xml and load xml data into xcelsius- Run Time.
That is quite simple with xml button but otherwise it seems difficult. I have tried different things but how to trigger the script is the problem
Any idea?
Thank U in advance

XML Data Button Not working when Exported onto BusinessObjectEnterprise

I have an XML data button on a dashboard. It works fine in preview and on web. It does not work if it is exported onto Business Object server using XCelsius' Export to BusinessObjectEnterprise.
In the InfoView, I double click on the flash file, the flash files opens as expected, but when XML Data button is clicked, no new data seem to come in...
If I export as Adobe file, and then post it onto the server, and view it using Info View, the XML data button works just fine.
Please advise.

Hi All,
Even I have similar requirement.
Any work around is appreciable.

XML data connection and XML submit button

Hi Guys,
another one that 'should' be straight forward. I have an xml data connection that is used ot pull in event details (name, location, cost etc) that allows you to select various events, then fill in your contact details and then submit the form. I need to have the form submit with the data that the user entered into the form as well as their selection of event. When I set up the email submit button, the XML file attached to the email is actually the XML file that the form pulls the event details from not the data that the user has entered into the form. Again I reckon this one should be straight forwad to fix, seems like a fairly normal way to operate, but I just cant find a solution. please help

>We are letting user know that u have thrown email to someone and we also let user know how is going to contact them.
This is good, but you cannot stop the email from opening and the user
needing to send it. This is, as I said, fundamental to security and
cannot be switched off.
>I tried using HTTP request but it still opening email option to send mail.
This suggests you did not do it right, because when you use http, no
mail is sent locally. Can you describe what you do?
>
>I want to do the way we do in the html page using javascript to set action event at click event and send data to specified email id.
HTML cannot silently send an email either.
Perhaps you could outline what sort of HTML JavaScript you use, so
that we can suggest an equivalent if there is one.

Establishing Database connection for XML Data Definition?

I have a XML Data Definition which will query data from Oracle Database.
I did some research and tried few setting options in JDeveloper (11g), but had no luck on finding a way to connect to Database.
My goal is to use JDeveloper to run a XML Data Definition against Database and generate a XML File with data.
Can this be done?

Hi,
Consider there is 2 database, Oracle_1 and Oracle_2.
I want to fetch some table data in Oracle_2 from Oracle_1 database Stored procedure/functions through query staments and cursors. How to establish the Oracle_1 DB connection in Oracle_2 DB stored procedure/function. Is it possible?
It's not the same how you implement the programs in java or .Net to create DB connection. It's different over here. You have use the DataBase Links in order to make to connection with another DB and use that Link in the stored procedure or function where ever its necessary as per your requirement.

Hi Eman,
Please go through the design we made for a bank interface.
- We had generated IDOC XML file, configured partner profiles for the same.
- These IDOC files were sent to the XI systems where where ISO XML files were generated.
- These ISO XML's were in sync with the banks ISO XML.
- They are received from the Banks side and the data is further processed by the banks SAP system.
I Hope this information will be helpful.
PS : The bank configurations can be country specific.

Logon failed when connecting to XML data source over HTTP

I am trying to create a report using the standard report creation wizard:
1) new, standard report
2) create new connection
3) xml and web services
4) xml data source
When using the sample from the SAP site, it works fine:
http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/downloads/samples/cr/customer_db/customer.xml
I have an HTTP source that generates XML. I have a schema that describes this XML. If I save the XML to a local file it works fine as a data source with the schema. However, when I try to access the same data via HTTP, I get the following error:
Logon failed.
Details: Cannot open file
Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: http://localhost:8004/report.xqy?Validate%20XML=0&Use%20WS-Security%20Config%20File=&WS-Security%20File%20Location
However, if I enter that URL in a browser it works fine. And even if I disable security on the HTTP source, it produces the same error.
Does the URL for the HTTP data source have to conform to some specific pattern? For example, must the URL end in .xml?

How to restrict grant connect through with Data Vault

I need to restrict the ability to grant proxy privileges in the database. This is the statement: alter user USER_A grant connect through USER_B;
I tried creating this rule that looks at the sql text for %CONNECT THROUGH% in the statement and then added it to the "Can Maintain Own Account" Rule Set which is attached to the Alter System command but it doesn't appear to be working. How can I get this working? Is my rule that I created correct. Ultimately what I want to do is allow proxies to be created for most users but just restrict only certain special users.
BEGIN
dbms_macadm.delete_rule(rule_name => 'NO_PROXY_PRIVILEGES');
DBMS_MACADM.CREATE_RULE(rule_name => 'NO_PROXY_PRIVILEGES',
rule_expr => 'INSTR(UPPER(DVSYS.DV_SQL_TEXT),''%CONNECT THROUGH%'') = 0');
END;I am running Oracle 11.2.0.2 Enterprise on Windows Server 2008R2
Thank you.

You may get a better answer in the security forum:
Security
That being said - there are authorization checks that you can create for SE16.
Create an authorization field via SU20. Create the object via SU21.
Create a role. Add transaction SE16 to the role. Create a profile. Activity would be display. And then you can add the objects that you created.
Again you may get a better answer from someone who does security everyday. I'd suggest posting in the security forum.

How to loop through XML data in a table of XMLType?

Hi,
I am failry new to xml document processing in Oracle using PL/SQL.
My DB version: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
I have successfully loaded an xml document into a table using the following two statements:
1) CREATE TABLE mytable2 OF XMLType;
2) INSERT INTO mytable2 VALUES (XMLType(bfilename('IMAGE_FILE_LOC', 'IFTDISB20100330172157C002.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8')));
Now I need to traverse through the various nodes within the xml document and extract values of elements of each node. The question I have is:
How do I loop through a node? A VALID record is enclosed within the <checkItem> </checkItem> tags.
Here is a snippet of the data in that xml document:

I really need to update my blog to get the example you are looking for posted. I did a quick search on the forums for XMLTable and found a good example at {message:id=4325701}. You will want to use OBJECT_VALUE in the PASSING clause where you need to reference the column in your table.
Note: See the FAQ in the upper right for how to use the tag to wrap objects to retain formatting. Also your XML is missing closing nodes.

Unable to connect to XML data source

Hi,
I'm trying to connect to a XML file I save from a web service and read it's contents.
The file contents are:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<getEMailResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org">
<getEMailResult>[email protected]</getEMailResult>
</getEMailResponse>
the DTD is:
<!ELEMENT getEMailResponse (getEMailResult)>
<!ATTLIST getEMailResponse xmlns CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ELEMENT getEMailResult (#PCDATA)>
And the connection is defined as follows:
jdbc:snps:xml?f=//atlas/jsmith/doc/result.xml&d=//atlas/jsmith/doc/result.dtd&ro=true&case_sens=true
If I try it, it returns an "java.sql.SQLException: class org.xml.sax.SAXParseException"
I've seen that removing the xmlns attrib solves the problem, but it's impossible (as far as I know) to remove it from the xml file, since it comes from a webservice request.
Does anybody have any ideas as of how to proceed?
Thanks a lot for your help.

I have solved applying the patch 10.1.3.4.2
Thanks
