XML - comparison of to files

Hi,
I have 2 XML files with the same structure.
How do I compare it?
I found one on internet, http://www.deltaxml.com/core/
but it cost a lot.
- Any free API ?
- Any idea, any URL, special keyword to search for?

No, your requirement is totally unclear. Comparing two text files for differences is not at all easy -- suppose you only move a line to a different part of the file, how should that be reported? And comparing a tree structure adds another level of complexity.
If you start writing down pairs of XML documents that differ slightly, trying to make things as difficult as possible for yourself, you should be able to see how complex the task actually is.
Now, I am sure somebody has written an XML diff program that does sort of what you would want it to do. But since it's such a complex task, I don't find it surprising that they want money for the program.
I searched for "xml diff" and found several programs and articles.

How to create an Excel file from XML in the Receiver File Adapter Comm Ch

How do I create an Excel file from XML in the Receiver File Adapter Communication Channel? I have my mapping done and I am outputting the file as a comma delimited csv file. However, the target can only process an Excel file (.xls). How can I generate an Excel in XI?
I saw this blog, but I don't know how to create a XSLT transformation.
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/10/xi-generating-excel-files-without-the-java-nor-the-conversion-agent-not-possible
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Here are the steps I took to create an XSLT transformation in XI 3.0:
1. I created my source and target XSDs using XMLSpy.
2. I created the XSLT mapping from source to target in XMLSpy (referencing the souce XSD schema).
3. I created another XSLT mapping to format the target into Excel XML.
4. Import the source and target XSDs in the IR's External Definitions
5. Zip each XSLT mapping (.xls) and import it into the IR's Imported Archives
6. Reference the XSL mappings in the Interface Mapping

[JS - CS3 - Mac OS] XML import preferences: xslt file issue...

Hi,
I know there's a bug on Mac about this, does anybody knows if is there another way to do it?
I'm importing an XML file and I need to transform it with an XSLT stylesheet.
Here's the code:
var xmlFile = new File("/User/Desktop/product.xml");
var xsltFile = new File("/User/Desktop/stylesheet.xsl");
with(app.activeDocument.xmlImportPreferences){
     transformFilename = xsltFile;
myNode.importXML(xmlFile);
Pretty simple but ID is missing my xsl file...
I'm really bored about this, hope there's an alternative solution...
Thanks anticipately.

Hi Thomas
I've learnt a lot since my last posting, so thanks for putting me on the right track then.
I have actually tried what you suggested. I had the same problem with the XML file path when it was hard coded. The object being that I just wanted to replace a static xml doc.
Where I've got      set xmlpath to choose file with prompt "Select the XML"
i also had             set xsltpath to choose file with prompt "Select the XSLT"
                           log xsltpath --(this throws the value of xsltpath in to the results pane of AS)
It still didn't work. It showed the correct path to the file but still failed when run through the script. Bizzare!
The only other thing that I could try is to just define xsltpath as "CWtoINDDElements.xsl", due to the fact that I've told InDesign that I'm getting the XML from the same folder in the 'choose' function.
I'm not connecting to my work VPN at 11.50pm, so I'll try again in the morning.
Thanks Thomas. It's great to bounce ideas around.
Best, Andrew

How to remove a node from a target xml payload in reciever file channel

i have a scenario where i have to remove a node from my target xml file in receiver file channel and want xml as the output file. I don't want a fixed length file. How to do that in receiver channel? Do we need to use file content conversion for that?

that will result in giving you a fixed file or a separator defined file.
it will not give you an XML file.
In case you want a XML file, instead of using variable substitution, use Dynamic configuration and adapter specific properties.

Mount-DiskImage in a remote session exeception- Cannot process Cmdlet Definition XML for the following file:

Hi everybody,
I have a strange problem with Mount-DiskImage command.
Environment: Windows server 2012 without any updates.
All scripts signed as it was in Hanselman's blogpost
http://www.hanselman.com/blog/SigningPowerShellScripts.aspx
First script(script1) executing on one machine (server1), then copy another script(script2) to the remote server(server2) and run script2 in a PS-Session. Both are signed. Certificates are located on both servers.
In a script I tried to
Import-Module Storage
$mountVolume = Mount-DiskImage -ImagePath $ImageSourcePath -PassThru
where ImageSourcePath is a networkpath to iso image.
But getting exception.

Remove XML tags in the File Adapter

Hi,
I have a JDBC to File interface. However, there is a requirement to remove some of the XML tags from XML produced by the File Adapter.
For example,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_XML xmlns:ns0="namespace">
   <XMLIntegration>
         <Prices COLUMNS="Index, Date, Price">
         <Index>Fuel</Index>
         <Date>2007-05-01 00:00:00.0</Date>
         <Price>0</Price>
        </Prices>
      <Prices COLUMNS="Index, Date, Price"/>
</XMLIntegration>
</ns0:MT_XML>
needs to be changed to
   <XMLIntegration>
         <Prices COLUMNS="Index, Date, Price">
         Fuel, 2007-05-01 00:00:00.0, 120.65
        </Prices>
</XMLIntegration>
Does anyone know how to do this? I'm using the File Content Conversion Message Protocol but I'm not having much success

hi,
you just need to have this:
<XMLIntegration>
         <Prices COLUMNS="Index, Date, Price">
         Fuel, 2007-05-01 00:00:00.0, 120.65
        </Prices>
</XMLIntegration>
as your target message in your mapping
and map all values to Prices tag
you don't need no content conversion - just the mapping

Generating Deeply nested XML from a flat file

Hi All,
I am working on a MQ to IDOC scenario.
I am getting a flat file as input. I need to convert it into XML( so that XI can understand it).
But conversion is into a "Deeply Nested XML from a Flat File" at sender side (JMS Adapter).
Any inputs on this.
Regards,
Vikas

You can only convert flat file into xml structure with 3 levels.
If you need to convert flat file into deep nested xml structure, you have to do java mapping or xslt or abap mapping. There is a tool, I think it's called conversion agent by itemfield (bought by SAP), which can do pretty everything with conversion. Never used it though.

How to submit pdf xml data to a file server

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me. I have created a dynamic pdf in livecycle designer ES, which appears as the requester wants it to. I now just need to work out how to collect the submitted data. Is it possible to submit the xml data to a file server? I have succeeded in emailing the data, but each response is separate xml attachment and would then need to collated, etc. It would be preferable to submit the data directly to a file server if this is possible. Even if it submitted into a database or something. From everything I have read so far, it seems that this is not possible, unless I am missing something. As a newbie to this, any assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you.

You can submit the data as XML or URL-encoded data (HTTP POST). In either case you will need to have a server-side process to receive and parse the data stream. The server-side process may be a JSP, a servlet, PHP or any technology that can manage HTTP requests/responses.
See About submitting data using a button at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/designerHelp/000330.html .

How to create an xml to load swf files in sequence?

hello everyone
I'm new in web design... I know how to animate in flash, using timeline, frames, layers, twins and so on... But I want to move forward so I want to create a xml to load swf files in sequence and in loop. Each swf file has 8 seconds.You can see the example here in www.cm-seixal.pt.
I'm not a programmer but I understand how actionscript works... I hope you can help me
Cheers!
Ana

you can use the urlloader class to load your xml file. use the loader's complete event and the loader's data property to retrieve the data in your xml file.

Like to understand - Stream DataSet (of XML data) to ZIP file?

i have similar kind of requirement where i need to save dataset data in multi part zip file. from this site i got a sample code
.NET - Stream DataSet (of XML data) to ZIP file? but few area is not clear.
the sample code as follows
// get connection to the database
var c1= new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connstring1);
var da = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter()
SelectCommand= new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(strSelect, c1)
DataSet ds1 = new DataSet();
// fill the dataset with the SELECT
da.Fill(ds1, "Invoices");
// write the XML for that DataSet into a zip file (split into 1mb chunks)
using(Ionic.Zip.ZipFile zip = new Ionic.Zip.ZipFile())
zip.MaxOutputSegmentSize = 1024*1024;
zip.AddEntry(zipEntryName, (name,stream) => ds1.WriteXml(stream) );
zip.Save(zipFileName);
how this word code Ionic they are using dotnet zip library ? tell me what is
Ionic
i guess this line zip.MaxOutputSegmentSize = 1024*1024; means each segment size would be 1mb ? am i right ?
this line is not clear
zip.AddEntry(zipEntryName, (name,stream) => ds1.WriteXml(stream) );
what is the meaning of this (name,stream) stream never declared but how they can use ?
tell me what is the meaning of this line zip.AddEntry(zipEntryName, (name,stream) => ds1.WriteXml(stream) ); what the code will do reading the above statement.
suppose if the above code save dataset data in 5 separate zip file then what name will be used for each segment?
if possible give me the code which will read all segment file and extract its content in a folder. thanks

Ionic is a 3rd party library which can be download by click on the shortcut where you got the code. I don't recommend using compiled 3rd part software unless the source code is provided. Codeplex solutions are usually very reliable.
Yes 1024 x 1024 is the 1mbyte size of the stream
The library is using a Linq syntax. So simple Linq uses something like this
.Select(x => x.ToString()) Where x is a variable name that can be any letter(s) you choose. Select is part of an enumeration. It is really just a shortcut instead of using a "FOR" statement.
The line zip is more complicated version of Linq. It is using two parameters (name,stream). I don't think the code actually works and you would have to look at the documentation at the codeplex website.

Best way to save XML results to a file via command line

I'm trying to set up an easy way that I can save my XML results to a file via the command prompt.
Here's my current command line statement
sqlcmd -S server/database -E -i C:\XML.sql -o C:\Test.xml -h -1 -m 1 -y0
That works about 95% of the way. The problem is it still inserts a couple random line breaks and throws my whole XML off.
The whole idea of doing this via the command line is because it would be nice to link it to a batch file that runs every so often. Is there a better way to execute a SQL statement and have its contents saved properly to an XML file?

If I copy and paste the result via SSMS into a file and save it as an XML, I can view it properly in browsers. If I use the code above, I get among other errors:
This page contains the following errors:
error on line 2 at column 202: Encoding error
The XML file gets processed in a 3rd party app. The file that I paste directly works fine, but the file that the script produces generates errors and it won't work.

How to write non-XML data to a file using an OSB FTP Routing?

Hi --
Situation ... I need to write non-XML data to a file using FTP. A proxy service retrieves XML and transforms it with XSLT to CSV format, then gives it to a Biz service to file it out, using FTP. Simple.
Problem ... OSB sends the contents of $body to any service it calls. Because $body is a SOAP document, it has to contain XML. So therefore I have to put my CSV data into an XML element, in order to put it into $body; and this inner element then gets written to the file, which I don’t want. But if I don't enclose my CSV content in a tag, I get "Unexpected CDATA encountered" trying to assign it to a variable.
There has to be away around this!
Thanks for your help.
John Taylor

Solved. Steps:
-- Transform the XML to CSV using an XSL transform. Put the CSV data inside enclosing XML elements, and use a Replace action to put the XML element + CSV contents back into *$body*.
-- Define an MFL transform that only knows about the enclosing XML elements. Use a delimiter of "\n" (hard return).
-- Route from the proxy service to a Biz service that has Service Type = Messaging Service and Request Message Type = MFL; specify the MFL transform, which will receive the incoming *$body* variable, strip off the enclosing XML element within it, and pass the CSV contents to the FTP service.

How to write xml data to a file

Hi all,
We have a requirement of writing the xml data into a file in given directory in the server. Generating the xml data using the sql query below.
SELECT XMLELEMENT ("ROW",
XMLELEMENT ("CELL", xmlattributes ('EBIZCZMDL_01' AS "colname"), inventory_item_id),
XMLELEMENT ("CELL", xmlattributes ('EBIZFFMT_01' AS "COLNAME"), attribute29),
XMLELEMENT ("CELL", xmlattributes ('COMMON' AS "COLNAME"),inventory_item_id || '' || attribute29 || 'ITM')
AS "RESULT") "XMLDATA"
FROM apps.mtl_system_items_b
When we try to write the the data from this query to a file using UTL_FILE.put_line, the script gives the error
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'PUT_LINE'
If somebody can help us pls.......
Thanks in advance

Hi Odie,
We are looking at the xml data to be like the below:

We have managed half way trying to get the structure. As we are new to this XML Programming.
The call to dbms_xslprocessor.clob2file is within the cursor loop for the given SQL.
DECLARE
