  • Different xml data sources possible?

    Ok, after searching the forum and google a lot, i figured out, that i can specify a data file in the formproperties. When i create some sample data, i get the structure the data has to look like (does it always have to look like these, or is it possible to change these things?).
    But, what i'm still tryin' to figure out:
    Is there a way, to get data for special items(textfields, tables, dropdownlists, ... ) from other sources, that i (perhaps) parse or read in an initialize event of of the items? I read a lot about a javascript DOMParser and the dataObject, but before i start try'n'error-coding these, i'd like to know if its worth the time?
    Or is there any other way, i'm able to read any xml data (from a file) from within an event?
    any help appreciated

    today i tried the:
    xfa.host.importData("./data.xml", false);
    i get a "general exception" at this point, which tells me that the number of arguments is wrong. If i leave out the second argument (the "false" one), i get a "NotAllowedError" exception, which tells me that security preferences deny my attempt to use that function. Where can i configure this or what am i doing wrong?
    (because this one is developing away from my original problem, i opened another thread ( http://forums.adobe.com/thread/514822 ) which describes my original issue more in detail)

  • Formatting tags in xml data set used for spry region

    I am trying to put <p>,,,</p> tags in my xml data set but they cause the field to not load. For example I would like to create an xml file as follows:
    <blog>
          <blogentry>
              <blogdate>Jan 2009</blogdate>
              <blogtitle>January Blog</blogtitle>
              <blogtext><p> this is a paragraph</p>
    <p>and so is this</p>
              </blogtext>
         </blogentry>
    </blog>
    When I do this I don't get anything in the spry region.  If I remove the <p>,</p> tabs it works.
    Is there anyway to do this (not just with <p> but with any tags ... ie. tables, etc.).
    Thanks/Hal

    I have an online example:
    http://www.pearlmanpr.com/perspective_test.html
    The spBlog.xml file contains test junk.  If I put the <[[CDATA....]]> inside the BlogEntry/BlogText tag it doesn't work at all.
    http://www.pearlmanpr.com/perspective_test_2.html
    If I use it without the <[[CDATA..]] it doesnt work either.
    http://www.pearlmanpr.com/perspective_test_3.html
    If I use it without any <> within the tag it sort of works (still needs to be aligned).

  • Change description general ledger master data not possible for some languag

    Hi all,
    We have a lot of language translation on tab Key word/translation for all G/L accounts. English is our log in language. When we want to change the description in Finnish, Norwegian and Danish this is not possible (this lines are grey, only display mode). We can´t remove these lines and we can´t change them. It is possible for all other languages except this languages and English. Does anyone have a clue why this is not possible?
    Thanks in advance!
    BR L

    Hi Lisa,
    I was asking if you can maintain a new description (for an account number where no description in one of the mentioned languages is entered) so the message "Description already exists in language XX" should not appear in that case...
    In general, account descriptions are stored (for chart of accounts / language key) in table SKAT thus you can check the entries already available.
    Did you contact the user-authorization responsible which authorization objects are assigned? FS00 contains authorization objects for account auth. group (F_SKA1-BES), company code (F_SKA1_BUK) and the whole chart of accounts (F_SKA1_KTP), maybe some change authorization (activity 02)  is missing?

  • XML Publisher Report  - Possible for multi-select LOV parameters?

    I am new to using BI Publisher for generating reports out of E-Business Suite. I am looking for assistance with 2 questions below
    1. I have created an LOV parameter based on a value set, is it possible to allow the user to select one, all, or a subset?
    2. Is there a way to model an "IN" statement in the XML where using the parameter?
    Thank you.

    With whatever i could make out is you are trying to change a discovere report to xml; publisher report isnt it?
    To answe to your question, directly it is not possible to have In clause but you could use some smart logic like lexical parameters etc to achieve similar things.I guess you cannot do in in EBS Reports too.

  • What is data selection? how does it work in sap bi?

    details about data selection process

    Hi Nihar,
    1. Data in SAP comes from different sources .
    2. Sometime we have generalize data from which we need specific data based on our reporting requirement .
    ex: If data is coming from standard extractor etc then it is generalized for various reports .If you have specific requirement then you don't need all the data to be loaded in DSO and Cubes .
    3.Sometime there is huge amount of data so we select data as per our requirement ex :yearly ,Quarterly ,Fiscal period wise ,Company code wise etc .
    4.We can filter out useful data at different level like :
    At info package level ,at DTP level ,By routines in transformation ,By using filters at queries etc .
    The whole purpose of selection is to load only useful data for reporting .It is part of process of cleansing of data before loading in a Warehouse .

  • Working with xml data collections (sequences)

    Dear all,
    a database adapter in my BPEL process returns the following xml data structure:
    Schema:
    <xs:element name="MGroupsCollection" type="MGroupsCollection"/>
    <xs:complexType name="MGroupsCollection">
    <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="MGroups" type="MGroups" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
    <xs:complexType name="MGroups">
    <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="id" type="xs:int"/>
    <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/>
    </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
    Instance (example, namespaces deleted):
    <MGroupsCollection>
    <MGroups>
    <id>23</id>
    <name>group2</name>
    </MGroups>
    <!-- more MGroups -->
    </MGroupsCollection>
    Now, I want to transform this structure into the following one:
    Schema:
    <xs:element name="Groups">
    <xs:complexType>
    <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="Group" type="Group" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>
    <xs:complexType name="Group">
    <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="id" type="xs:int"/>
    <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/>
    </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
    Instance (example, namespaces deleted):
    <Groups>
    <Group>
    <id>23</id>
    <name>group2</name>
    </Group>
    <!-- more Group elements -->
    </Groups>
    Implementing an XSLT transform activity, I faced no problems:
    <xsl:template match="db:MGroupsCollection">
    <sedd:Groups>
    <xsl:for-each select="db:MGroups">
    <sedd:Group>
    <sedd:id>
    <xsl:value-of select="db:id"/>
    </sedd:id>
    <sedd:name>
    <xsl:value-of select="db:name"/>
    </sedd:name>
    </sedd:Group>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </sedd:Groups>
    </xsl:template>
    Now, I thought I can use an assign activity instead of the transform activity above to transform the structure. Here's the code:
    <assign name="AssignSelectedGroups">
    <copy>
    <from variable="InvokeSelectGroups_SelectGroupsAdapterSelect_OutputVariable"
    part="MGroupsCollection"
    query="/ns3:MGroupsCollection"/>
    <to variable="Groups" query="/client:Groups"/>
    </copy>
    </assign>
    Using this assign activity (see above) the BPEL process runs without errors too. But the process produced the following structure (namespaces deleted):
    <Groups>
    <MGroups>
    <id>23</id>
    <name>group2</name>
    </MGroups>
    <!-- more MGroups -->
    </Groups>
    My questions is: As you can see in the schema definition of "Groups" (see above) this element contains one or more "Group" elements, but not one or "MGroups" elements. But "MGroups" are copied into "Groups" using the assign activity which is not valid according to the schema definition. Nevertheless, my BPEL process does not throw an exception.
    Can somebody explain this issue?
    Thanks in advance!

    3.14 Validating XML Data with bpelx:validate
    Does that one work for you ?
    Yes it's possible to reconstruct your xml by the assing options. If you create the assign activity you will see besides the copy also options like insert-before insert-after append etc
    With those you can construct your own variable like the way you want it..resort elements etc

  • 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?

  • XML Data is getting Truncated

    I have a large report that is set up in the concurrent manager of the EBS to have the output as XML so that I can open the file in an Excel template I developed. I have checked the output file and the XML file is complete but when I click on View Output in Oracle the browser opens and the XML data is truncated. Does anyone know why this is happening? Is there a limit on how big the file can be to view it? Thanks

    .... continuation based on Large Report in XML Format issue
    if you use excel as template so limitations of excel must be considered
    sheet - 65536 rows
    so check follow
    - view output -> save result (not open yet) -> open from os -> if any errors then see log (will be indicated) -> plz post it
    - if your xml is small then do you have any errors then opening?
    - "View Output in Oracle the browser opens and the XML data is truncated." - why browser is worked? it's must offer actions: save or open
    so check output of concurrent then you run it. it's may be html if yes then your xsl output (from excel template) is shown by browser -> post some details
    - result can be truncated because of haven't any data -> in browser -> show html code -> post some details

  • Generate hierarchical xml data with xmlutilities ?

    hello
    I am just experimenting with the oracle xml utilities, because I
    want to set on http-services to access to our patient database.
    Is it possible to generate the following xml structure (ALL
    relevant diagnoses are hierarchically subordered to the ONE
    patient) when two tables (master table patient, dependent table
    diagnoses) are given ?
    <rowset>
    <row num=...>
    <name>smith</name>
    <diagnosis>
    <date> ...</date>
    <icd-code> ... </icd-code>
    <text> ... </text>
    </diagnosis>
    /*ev.further diagnosis*/
    </row>
    /*ev.further rows for further patients*/
    </rowset>
    By the moment, I have the impression that only list-similar xml
    data is possible.
    Thank You very much for comments.

    Hi ali,
    Yes, you can use the CAST(MULTISET()) operator to create a
    nested table of subordered diagnostic record and display it.
    (You need the objects option installed if you are using 8.0.
    With 8i, the objects options is included free)
    e.g.
    /* Create a regular type */
    CREATE TYPE diagnostic_type AS OBJECt
    diag_date NUMBER,
    icd_code NUMBER,
    /* etc... all the necessary diagnostic details.. */
    /* create a nested table type */
    CREATE TYPE diagnostic_list_t AS TABLE OF diagnostic_type;
    /* Now u can use this in any query */
    SELECT p.name AS name,
    CAST(MULTISET( SELECT d.diag_date, d.icd_code,...
    FROM diagnosis_table d
    WHERE d.patient_name = p.name)
    AS diagnostic_list_t) AS diagnosis
    FROM patient_table p;
    This query as u can see gets the name of the patient and then
    creates a nested table of diagnostic records for the patient.
    This assumes that for every patient there are more than 1
    diagnosis records.
    If you have only one diagnostic record per patient then u can
    simply write this as,
    SELECT p.name AS name,
    diagnostic_t(d.diag_date,d.icd_code,...) AS diagnosis
    FROM patient_table p, diagnostic_table d
    WHERE p.name = d.patient_name;
    Here u are just constructing a structured diagnosis type from
    the given values.
    Hope this helps,
    Murali

  • How to Write Log Message in a XML Data Source Report

    Hi Friends,
    Can anyone help me out what is the process of writing a log file in the XML Data Source Report. for eg: in Plsql we use FND_LOG.PUT_LINE to print the Log message in the Concurrent Request Output. in the similar manner, when we develop a report using XML, where we write Coding in XQuery of XML, what is the process need to follow to print the logs for the XQuery.
    Any inputs/Suggestion on this Highly appreciable.
    Thanks in advance.

    Create an RMI application (for example) that writes the log, and let all logging calls call that remote application.
    Something like that is the only feasible way that doesn't require you to have a drive on the remote machine mapped to the local one (which causes its own problems as you could have multiple simultaneous write attempts...).
