XML Data Conversion Problem

Hi,
Am facing problem in flex that using web services am getting the data in xml format (below provided) am not able to provide the data from xml to datagrid. Am getting the data in datagridcolumn with the tag also. I need only data to be displayed without the child tag in the datagrid.
XML Format output as below:
<UDSObjectList>
<UDSObject>
<Handle>cr:400503</Handle>
<Attributes>
<Attribute DataType="2005">
<AttrName>ref_num</AttrName>
<AttrValue>671</AttrValue>
</Attribute>
<Attribute DataType="2005">
<AttrName>impact</AttrName>
<AttrValue>5</AttrValue>
</Attribute>
<Attribute DataType="2005">
<AttrName>priority</AttrName>
<AttrValue>1</AttrValue>
</Attribute>
</Attributes>
</UDSObject>
</UDSObjectList>
Attached the screenshot of output for your reference. The screenshot showing the datawith tag and here is other problem is for request id and impact and priority columns showing three columns data in all the columns.
Actual data is as below:
Request Id is 671
Impact is 5
Priority is 1
but the data is shown in all the columns not shown in related columns.
Thanks in advance..........

Can anyone provide a solution. As this problem was facing since long time.

Issue with Date Conversion when loading XML File into Oracle 10g Database

Hello all,
I have the interface shown in the screenshot below. In it, amongst other actions, I'm mapping an XML file element representing a date to an Oracle table column defined as DATE. The source and target columns are highlighted in the screenshot.
!http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/1565/odiscr275.jpg!
When I execute the interface, I get the following error message:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException at java.sql.Date.valueOf(Date.java:103)
I'm assuming this refers to the date conversion!
I've already tried replacing SRC_TRADES.DEAL_DATE with TO_DATE( SRC_TRADES.DEAL_DATE, 'DD/MM/YYYY' ) in the Implementation tab. This function was not recognised when I executed the interface, so it didn't work! The date value in the XML file is in DD/MM/YYYY format.
I'm guessing that Oracle SQL Date functions don't work in the Implementation tab. Please could somebody let me know:
1. Which Date Conversion function I could use instead?
2. Where I can find a reference for the methods/functions I can use in the Implementation tab (if such a reference exists)?
Cheers.
James

Hi.
Try to change the execution area to staging area. After You change it, write in the mapping box just SRC_TRADERS.DEAL_DATE. When You use TO_DATE, the source field typu should be varchar2, not date (as it is in your source datastore)

Executing xml sql using jdbc adapter for date conversion

Hi experts,
I am following the fllowing blog for date format conversion for a jdbc receiver.
/people/alessandro.berta/blog/2005/10/04/datetime-datatypes-and-oracle-database
I constructed my graphical mapping to generate the following query
DateField in receiver structure = TO_DATE('2008-03-24','DD-MON-YY')
attribute hasQuot = No
The result that i want is 24-MAR-08
I am getting the error in communication channel monitoring as does not match string format.
The database gets successfully updated without this date conversion. But when i try to use this, it give the above error.
Is there any other configuration to be done to make the adapter execute this statement?
Regards,
Shamly

The issue is solved.
The SQL statement was wrong.
The correct version is,( as was specified in the blog ) :-
DateField in receiver structure = TO_DATE('2008-03-24','YYYY-MM-DD')
Automatically in the database it is converted to 24-MAR-2008

Print-time XML data update?

We're researching our options to print artwork with dynamic (i.e. data driven) elements inline with our production process. We have a packaging machine that has an integrated inline printer and we want to send print jobs that contain dynamic data such as part number, lot number, expiration date, description, etc. In the past we have used barcoding and marking software for this as it's designed to be either autoamted by a third party application or to pull data from a database itself. On this new project we're looking to deliver or more graphically rich result. We thought InDesign with it's XML backed frames may be an interesting option to explore.
Something like:
Production management system (PMS) generats the backing XML file with the job specific data
PMS then retrieves the appropriate InDesign template file for the product being produced
PMS prints the InDesign template file and the XML data is pulled in
Keep in mind that workflow is based on reading the product specs and a few blog posts about InDesign, we are NOT InDesign users (yet). There are a couple areas I see problems and I wanted to ask the community if you happen to know if they are real issues or not.
I suspect we would need a full InDesign license on the PMS system in order to print the ID template files. We would want to make tis all command line if possible, we don't want a tech to use InDesign but still I think a license would be needed, even just for printing. Update: I have since found InDesign Server and it sounds like it may be an option for this concern.
If command line printing IS an option, will such an operation cause the template to pull in the XML data that was generated by the PMS? In other words, the PMS generates an XML file in a location that the InDesign template is expecting, will InDesign pull in that data when the file is sent to the printer?
Actually, is it even possible to command line print an InDesign template file or do we need to go through a pre-print processing stage to generate a PDF or some other file?
I hope that these questions aren't too vague and that you understand what we're hoping to accomplish.
Regards,
Steve

Hi Chorko,
When you do your Conversion to Dynamic data, make sure you check your Start Time as Now.
Hope that helps!

Problem in coverting XML data to Interal Table.

Hello,
I have to write an application which converts an Internal Table Data to XML String and then from XML String to an Internal Table.
The reason for doing is that I am using an RFC Function module and the internal table is dynamically generated one.
But somehow the XML data is not getting converted to Internal Table.
The RFC returns Internal Table Data as XML and the Field Catalogue table
Now in the application which calls RFC, I am trying to convert XML data to a dynamic Internal table
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT'
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING'
Now convert XML String to Internal table
Using FMs 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
"Now XString to Binary
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
CALL FUNCTION 'TEXT_CONVERT_XML_TO_SAP'
 EXPORTING
 i_tab_raw_data = lt_xml_data
 i_totalsize = lv_file_size
 TABLES
 i_tab_converted_data = <fst_dyn_table>
 EXCEPTIONS
 conversion_failed = 1
 OTHERS = 2
In the FM 'TEXT_CONVERT_XML_TO_SAP' I am getting error Conversion failed.
Now I tried with transformations.
Here also my table is a dynamically created Internal table.
TRY.
 CALL TRANSFORMATION ('ID')
 SOURCE root = lt_zmt_tdm_fmap
 RESULT XML lv_output_str.
 CATCH cx_root INTO gs_rif_ex.
 gs_var_text = gs_rif_ex->get_text( ).
 MESSAGE gs_var_text TYPE 'I'.
ENDTRY.
Now the lv_output_str gets populated with data
But when I call Transformation again to convert XML to internal table, it does not throw error, but does not return any data also.
TRY.
 CALL TRANSFORMATION ('ID')
 SOURCE XML = lv_output_str
 RESULT ref = <fst_dyn_table> .
 CATCH cx_root INTO gs_rif_ex.
 gs_var_text = gs_rif_ex->get_text( ).
 MESSAGE gs_var_text TYPE 'I'.
ENDTRY.
How can this be resolved.
As pointed I am using RFC Function module, the parameters will be
1) XML String with Internal table data
2) Field Catalogue for Internal Table to be created dynamically.

Vikas

Remove the "=" sign, this code will work :
 CALL TRANSFORMATION ('ID')
 SOURCE XML lv_output_str
 RESULT ref = <fst_dyn_table> .

Hello Ravinder,
Can you please post the complete stack trace, it seems to be some fields are getting truncated i,e data sent from the program to the proxy object might be violating some length restrictions.
Please check your message interface field lengths and what is being passed to the proxy.

Filling PDF Form with XML data file

Hello everybody.
I need help.
I created a form with LiveCycle Designer. I filled it and generated a XML data files. Now, I would like to fill the same blank PDF form with this XML data file.
I know that I can do it with Adobe 8.0 but I must do it in an C# / .NET application that I have to create.
(Forms I'm creating are not for me, I create the forms. Client uses them form but he don't have Adobe Acrobat 8.0, so he can't realise the automatic PDF filling with Adobe Acrobat 8.0)
So I am looking for help with ".NET" "COM" or other library to help me to do it. If someone has other idea just give it.
Thanks for your reply
Jean Pierre (sorry for my bad English)

Hello Mike
Thank's for your reply. I used XPAAJ and it works very well but my company his develloping software with C# langage.
I tried to convert XPPAJ to C#, I did it with the Java Langage Conversion Assistant but "Adobe Library" included in jar files cannot be translated to C#/.NET library. So, I can't use it.
I found some C#/.NET API on the NET but they are very expensive and my company don't want to pay. They want me to create my own solution with library given by Adobe when you buy Adobe 8. So I am looking for this library.
Is there an Adobe LiveCycle Designer SDK to help me.
Thank you in advance for your reply

XML data encoding iso-8859-1 . Currently utf-16 is default encoding

Hello ABAP Gurus ,
Need a help from you .
Scenario : We have SAP4.7 enterprise version which we have now converted to Unicode system . There is a BSP application which talks to an external web application (Non Unicode) thru HTTP protocol and sends data thru XML.
Problem : Problem is at the time when BSP application prepares the XML While preparing XML data , before converting to Unicode environment the encoding was "iso-8859-1" . But now after Unicode conversion , the encoding is "UTF-16".
The XML data looks like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><DATA><ACTION>CREATE_TICKET</ACTION><CRI
I have tried replacing "utf-16" by "iso-8859-1 " . The interface works . But at the recieving end , ie external web application , the German umlauts appear as some garbage values .
I know we need to enforce encoding . I have tried with the following code but could not suceed . The encoding appears as "utf-16".
Following is the section of code which I have written in BSP application.

Can a Java Mapping be used on non-xml data

I would like to use a java mapping to transform non-xml formatted data to an IDOC or XML format.
1) Does the input or output of a Java Map have to be XML.
2) If possible can the test feature be used to load and test a non-xml data file.
3) Any comments or lessons learned in this area.

Hi Johan,
below are some suggestions for your scenario:

1) Structured flat picked up using J2EE FTP adapter.
Indeed; you can use the file adapter to receive/retrieve this file from "any" third party system.
2) Structured flat converted to XML (Using JAVA mapping?)
When you send any message to XI, it's the adapter's task to convert this message into a XI understandable format i.e. SOAP. So the flat file to XML conversion is not your concern.
However, if you need to perform any data transformation (input file to IDOC) then you can opt for XSLT (XML stylesheets), Java mappings or the XI mapping tool within the repository. Based on my own experience with IDOC mapping, I can tell you that XSLT and/or Java mapping is the best way to achieve this kind of mapping.
3) XML mapped to SAP IDoc using graphical editor.
See comments point 2)
Cheers,
Rob.

Data template - no xml data?

XML Date File into PDF

I have an XML data file that I want to use to populate a pdf fill-out form. There is enough data in the file to populate several forms. Is there a way of moving each set of data from this XML file into a seperate pdf fill-out form?

Hi,
There are many ways to convert XML files to PDFs through java.
One of the easiest way is by using iText.jar which have classes for conversion.
The following are the required steps
1. Create a document object for the XML file ( Using DOM or SAX parser).
2. Parse the xml document and extract the content to write in PDF.
3.Create a itext Document object.
4.Get a PdfWriter instance for the PDF file.
5.Write in the pdf the extracted text using the document object.
Refer <a href="http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/examples/com/lowagie/examples/general/HelloWorld.java">here</a> for a simple pdf writer example.
Refer <a href="http://java.sun.com/developer/codesamples/xml.html">here</a> for examples of XML Parsers.

Loading XML Data into Relational Table

Hello,
I receive an XML file generated from another tool (on Windows), I am trying to create a Linux shell script that will gather the needed XML file from my Linux database server, then have Oracle use this file to load the XML data into a relational table. This activity & data will be needed on an ongoing basis.
I have tried this two ways. First, I loaded the XML document into the database and tried to extract the data directly from the document, but that is not working. Now I want to try to read the data directly from the file on the server via select, however I am not getting any data returned. In the Select statement below, I am simply trying to query the data to see what is returned for my testing.
Create Table ci_results_table (transactionID Varchar2(100), //transactionID should be PrimaryKey but was getting NULL value errors during insert test, so removed PK
message Varchar2(200),
ci Varchar2(50),
processeddate xmltype,
status Varchar2(50),
sourcefile VarChar2(100));
select x.*
from XMLTable(
     'TSPLoadResults/Results'
     PASSING xmltype(bfilename('CMDB_DEVADHOCRESULTS_DIR','LoadResults-HP_146.results.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8'))
     COLUMNS
       transactionID Varchar2(100) PATH 'TransactionID',
       Result XMLType PATH 'Result',
       Message Varchar2(200) PATH 'Message',
       PrimaryKey Varchar2(50) PATH 'PrimaryKey',
       ProcessedDate date PATH 'ProcessedDate',
       Status Varchar2(50) PATH 'Status',
       SourceFile VarChar2(100) PATH 'SourceFileName'
   ) x
Eventually I will need to build on this to limit the data returned to those records where SourceFileName is like 'HPDS%' and insert what is returned in to the ci_results_table. Attached is a sample Results XML file I am trying to load, It is named "ResultsTransformedtoUnix" because I used dos2Unix to convert it to Unix which may be right or wrong. (The output file I send out has to be transformed to DOS format before the other application can read it). Original file (before Unix conversion) named in script is also attached.
Please help. Thank you!

Hi,
I see some wrong things in your query.
1) The obvious one, explaining why you're not getting any data : there's a typo in the XQuery expression, it's "Result" not "Results"
2) ProcessedDate cannot be extracted as a date (at least not directly) since it actually represents a timestamp, use TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE datatype and cast back to DATE in the SELECT clause
3) transactionID is an attribute, it must be accessed with '@' (or 'attribute::' axis)
4) If the file encoding is truly ISO-8859-1 as the prolog suggests, then do not use AL32UTF8 but the corresponding charset name : WE8ISO8859P1
Here's the working query :
select x.transactionID
     , x.Message
     , x.Primarykey
     , cast(x.ProcessedDate as date) ProcessDate
     , x.Status
     , x.SourceFile
from XMLTable(
       '/TSPLoadResults/Result'
       PASSING xmltype(bfilename('XML_DIR','LoadResults-HP_146.results.xml'), nls_charset_id('WE8ISO8859P1'))
       COLUMNS
         transactionID Varchar2(100)            PATH '@transactionID',
         Message       Varchar2(200)            PATH 'Message',
         PrimaryKey    Varchar2(50)             PATH 'PrimaryKey',
         ProcessedDate timestamp with time zone PATH 'ProcessedDate',
         Status        Varchar2(50)             PATH 'Status',
         SourceFile    VarChar2(100)            PATH 'SourceFileName'
     ) x
Using this query directly over the file will only perform decently (for large files) on 11.2.0.4 and onwards.
On prior versions, first load the file in a (temporary) XMLType column with Binary XML storage and SELECT from there.
because I used dos2Unix to convert it to Unix which may be right or wrong.
This conversion shouldn't be necessary.

Can Discoverer be used as an XML Data source for XMLP ?

I am wondering if Discoverer can generate an XML Data Source for XMPL.
I have heard that Discoverer Viewer can have XML as an output. Is there a way of using this XML output with XMLP and, if yes, how to batch both steps ?

Hi
My understanding is that Discoverer does not generate XML data as an ouput that XMLP can consume. The XML is does generate is actually an XML RDF for Oracle Reports.
XMLP is integrated thou, when you export your Disco report to PDF thats XMLP doing the conversion to PDF for you.

Error during XML = ABAP conversion, empty tag

Hi.
Im sending data from a Data Base to a proxy using BI.
But when I get an empty response from the data base wich gives me an empty XML tag the proxy shows me an error:
-PARSE_APPLICATION_DATA Error during XML => ABAP conversion (Response Message; error ID: CX_ST_MATCH_ELEMENT;
-Error during XML => ABAP conversion (Response Message; error ID: CX_ST_MATCH_ELEMENT;
-System expected the end of the element 'STMT_DC_response'
This is the message that originates the fail:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

In case that the tag is filled runs ok

The definition for the data is:

Thanks for the help you can give me about my problem with empty tags.
