XML data output file in a directory needs to be published as a pdf report

Hi,
I have already got an XML output file in a directory.
I want to display it using RTF template using a concurrent program or some sort of java api in a pdf format to be able to print it.
How do I do it? Do I have to write another file output command to read the xml data line by line and output to BI publisher first?

Hi,
Hmm, one way is to just utl_file read the file and fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output) then close the file. Setup conc prog, rtf template, data definition and you're done.
But the main thing is that you get the XML file to $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT/oXXXXX.out where XXXXX is the request id. You could just setup host concurrent program and copy the file there!
Regards,
Gareth

Hi i need to write the data from an XML file to a Microsoft SQL SErver database!
i got a piece of code from the net which allows me to parse th file:
import java.io.IOException;
import org.xml.sax.*;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.*;
import org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser;
import java.lang.*;
public class MySaxParser extends DefaultHandler
private static int INDENT = 4;
private static String attList = "";
public static void main(String[] argv)
if (argv.length != 1)
System.out.println("Usage: java MySaxParser [URI]");
System.exit(0);
String uri = argv[0];
try
XMLReader parser = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
MySaxParser MySaxParserInstance = new MySaxParser();
parser.setContentHandler(MySaxParserInstance);
parser.parse(uri);

Attributes attributes) throws SAXException
idx += INDENT;
System.out.println('\n' + getIndent() + "start element: " + localName);
if (localName.compareTo("Machine") == 0)
System.out.println("YES");
if (attributes.getLength() > 0)
idx += INDENT;
for (int i = 0; i < attributes.getLength(); i++)
attList = attList + attributes.getLocalName(i) + " = " + attributes.getValue(i);
if (i < (attributes.getLength() - 1))
attList = attList + ", ";
idx-= INDENT;
private String getIndent()
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
for (int i = 0; i < idx; i++)
sb.append(" ");
return sb.toString();
}// END PRGM
Now , am not a very good Java DEv. and i need to find a soln. to this prob within 1 week.
The next step is to write the data to the DB.
Am sending an example of my file:
<Start>
<Machine>
<Hostname> IPCServer </Hostname>
<HostID> 80c04499 </HostID>
<MachineType> sun4u [ID 466748 kern.info] Sun Ultra 5/10 UPA/PCI (UltraSPARC-IIi 360MHz) </MachineType>

<IPAddress> 149.51.23.140 </IPAddress>
</Machine>
</Start>
Note that i can have more than 1 machines (meaning that i have to loop thru the file to be able to write to the DB)
Cal u tellme what to do!
Even better- do u have a piece of code that will help me understand and implement the database writing portion?
I badly need help here.

XML data output in a custom grid table

Hi!
I was wondering if it is possible to display xml data output in a custom-made grid table? Important is the ability to
arrange the fields on the grid layout (not a fixed layout with columns and rows).
I am using the latest JDeveloper release.
Thanks!

See [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14072_01/server.112/e10592/functions251.htm#CIHGGHFB]XMLTABLE
For example:
-- INSERT INTO <your table name>

How to store the XML data? file or database?

i'm frustrate at it.
If store XML data into files, then when i query any data,how can i search data using relationship as SQL?
But if store XML data into database.How can i transform the xml data to the data table?
Can any one give me an clear example.

XML is perfect for data interchange and readability. However, to make it searchable you should resolve it properly into tables, in accordance of your own choice of model.
1. Investigate the XML files and resolve the model
<Person sex="male">John
<Pet animal="dog">Doggy</Pet>
<Pet animal="cat">Catty</Pet>
</Person>
2. Create the tables in your database, let one or several tables keep the raw xml for retrieval of original xml data.
--- XMLDocument ---
id XML_data
--- Person ---
id XML_Document_id sex name
(foreign key)
--- Pet ---
id Person_id animal name
(foreign key)
3. Resolve data from the xml files and insert it into the database. Do this through your ContentHandler, or from your DOM model.
--- XMLDocument ---
id XML_data
0 <Person>...</Person>
--- Person ---
id XML_Document_id sex name
0 0 male John
--- Pet ---
id Person_id animal name
0 0 dog Doggy
1 0 cat Catty

XML data (Output) into a flat file

I need to convert XML data into a flat file, which is having "|" as delimiter and ftp the same to a server. The XML data is an output of BPEL activity. The XML data is employee records. Each employee records should come as one line in the flat file.
Is it possible to do this? if so, what will be the steps
Thanks

Hi,
You need to use file adapter to write your XML payload as a flat file.
Following are the steps to write XML payload into a flat file:
1. Create a sample flat file and add few rows in which fields should be delimited with pipe symbol. See the record sample given below:
Name|Age|Address|City|State|Zip
Sam|32|2788 Viking Dr|Green Bay|WI|54304
Here first row is the header row, you can remove the header row if it is not required.
2. Create a file adapter service using adapter configuration wizard. Give file name and folder location where you want to write flat file. On step 5 of the adapter configuration wizard you have to define or select message schema. Click on Define Schema for Native Format button, then Native Format Builder Wizard will be opened, here you can define message schema for your flat file.
2.1 Here you need to select Delimited for file type.
2.2 Give details about your flat file, select your sample flat file here, which you have created in step 1 above.
2.3 Click Next button twice and go to step 4, here give namespace and element names you want and click on Next.
2.4 In step 5 you need to specify delimiters. Wizard doesn’t shows *|* as a delimiter so you need to enter *|* in the Delimited By combo box and click on Next button.
2.5 Complete remaining steps and click on Finish in the wizard.
3. Finish "Adapter Creation Wizard". Add BPEL activities (assign, invoke) to pass XML payload to file adapter and file adapter will generate *|* delimited flat file and write it to the given folder.
See the following article for more details on Native Format Builder Wizard:

Using a data output file as an input file for test development

I have an output file from a system that I would like to use to simulate the device being attached to the computer. Using the read module I can input the entire file into the charting module, but it reads the entire file. Is there a way setup the input to read one line approx. once per second and chart it (i.e.. A 3600 line file would take approx. 1 hour to read and chart)?
Thanks in advance.

Set up the Read module to only read once per second or minute....
If you're reading a DDF file, it will always read back a full block of data, so you want to have stored the data at one sample/block. One way to do that is to read it back and write is out as ASCII, so that DASYLab loses the block size context.

Handling large xml data source files

Post Author: LeCoqDeMort
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hello. I have developed a crystal report that uses an xml data file as a data source (supported by an xml schema file). I have successfully run the report for small sample xml data files, but I now have a realistic data file that is around 4Mb in size.When I run the report within the Crystal Reports designer (ver. 11.0.0.1994), i get a "failure to retrieve data from database" error. Is there some sort of configurable limit on data file/cache size that I can adjust - if indeed that is the problem? Thanks LeCoq

Automatic import of material data (csv file) from FTP directory

Hello Experts,
We created a Scheduled Task -> Data Import Monitor -> from a FTP directory.
We loaded the .csv file with material data in the FTP folder but it is not getting imported.We have created the .csv file with the format of fields defined in Company quick start Work book -> Material tab. We also tried with a .csv file having first Field as CLASS_NAME with a value of masterdata.Material and rest of the fields same as defined in the Company quick start-Materials Tab still it did not work.
When we load the .xls work book in FTP directory (xl having the Configuration tab and Material tab) the data import is working fine and the data is getting loaded automatically from the data import monitor job.
Is there any specific format of .csv file in which the material data needs to be loaded to the FTP server for automatic import of data using Scheduled task?
Regards
Aditya

Are there any errors appearing in the FPA logs?
Have you checked the permissions on the folder/file that you are uploading from?
What type of scheduled task have you created?

Read XML data from file

Hello!
I have data in an xml file which i want to read into my program. The problem is i do not want to parse the whole file at once, but in sequece, maybe in to or three sequences. In other words i want to parse the frist part of the file, and then the next sequence.
Is this possible and how? I use a SAXParser right now, but it parses the whole file at once. Examles and refrences to java api is appreciated
Best Regards
Yoshi

Ok!
the problem is not to call the function several times, but that the function parse in SAXParser parses the whole xml file at once, so im not sure how a switch case loop is going to help me, maybe you could clarify a little.
The data in the xml file contains history im going to read into the program, simulating progress. each root element contains a progress. So i want to read one element at a time everey time i call the parse function or a function containing the SAXParse function
like this
<datafile>
<loggfile>
<time>10:11</time>
<data>12323></data>
</loggfile>
<loggfile>
<time>10:12</time>
<data>12424</data>
</loggfile>
</datafile>

Adobe PDF printer - saves output file as filetype+filename need it to save only as filename

I am using windows xp pro, when i create the pdf file with adobe PDF printer it creates the file name "Ami Pro - filename.pdf" I really need it to create the file name as "filename.pdf". Can you please help me - thank you

Thank you Bernd - Explorer will let us change the file name one at a time, however I am creating numerous pdfs at a time, and its a pain to correct them one at a time, or to create a bat file to do this. Does anyone know if the Adobe PDF printer has a feature that will eliminate the file type? thanks

At the end of line # is coming in output file at application directory

Hi experts,
I am doing a file to file tunneling in which from a file server I am picking the file and putting it into SAP application server nothing is done in IR .However when the file is reaching in application server its end seprator is coming as # .I am surprised from where the #is coming at the end of every line.When i am dowloading the same file to my local directory in that file # is not there.
Please help me as my client is not accepting the file with endsepeartor as # .
Might be # is coming as the apllication server is in uniq env . But how to get rid of it .Please guide me with whatever input you have in this regard.
Regards,
Neha

Hi Neha,
I think you do not have to do anything because see you said on saving the file locally, you are not able to see the # character at the end of line..........but when you are seeing in SAP window, then this # character is displayed..............so your SAP server can be a UNIX server and it is displaying the End of Line and Carriage Return ASCII characters as # because these are non-displayable characters.....
But still if you do not want this # character to be displayed, then you can try Binary and no character encoding........then see if your file is displayed without # character.

XML to Flat File DB Table So I and Others Can Use SSRS for Reporting

I'm using a program called Orbeon Forms to quickly create and distribute forms on the local network.
The program just recently got updated to Version 4.6 so as to use SQL Server DB as a backend. (I was using MySQL in a lower versions)
The data created when you submit a form into the database is held in xml fomat in one of the columns. (see below).
I am trying to create a separate table, to pull that data from the xml column (for that particular form) and place it in to a seperate table using the xml tags as columns.
I have no idea where to start or how to do this. Please keep in mind I'm a novice when it comes to sql server (but I do know how to do select statements :-)....
Is this very difficult to do? If it is (for me at least) where can I go to get someone to do it for me along with the documentation to do it? I was also thinking of a way to create a trigger on the Orbeon table (this is how it is setup currently in
the MySQL database) to automagically insert any saved form data to the new form data table. Is this also difficult to do? And can I have a trigger for each form I create on the table?
If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
I would eventually like to add the form data from the old MySQL database table into this new Orbeon table but it appears the upgrade also added two extra columns. I figuring once in the Orbeon table then I will have to run whatever statements to place into
the separate table so I can use the data.
Randy Marrero

Erland thanks for the reply. Even after reviewing the link you sent I'm still having problems. Guess that is why I'm not a programmer. Anyway I've create a test data form xml I've created and it is copy and pasted below.
Again I'm only really interested seeing if I can get the information out of the xml and create it in its own flat file table. I keep reading that creating a trigger (when the form gets submitted into this database in the xml format, an on insert trigger
would take all the data submitted and inserted into another table with just the data, into separate columns)  for this is the best way but I'm not sure how to do this either. I have a copy of what the MySQL trigger would look like but keep running
into errors when I try to run it in SQL Server. Also the issue with how I would create another trigger if / when I create another form. I read somewhere I can only create one on insert trigger per table, still don't know this to be true. Anyway below
is the xml as it is in the xml table in the database.

API to print xml data file on a template

Hi All,
I want to know if there is any API to print an XML file on a RTF template.
I have a scenario where a program runs and generates XML file and gives the output in PDF format. Now, i want to use the XML file generated by the program to print on a different template.
i cannot run the program twice to use subtemplates concept.
Thanks
Sam
