XML Data Source Import on Start

I have a "time sheet" form that I've created in Livecycle Designer. It's going to interface with software that holds a database in MySQL. My understanding was that LCD doesn't play well, if at all, with MySQL. I wrote a PHP script that converts the entire MySQL database to an XML database.
So on my server I have database.xml.
I have created a data connection to database.xml in the form, so the architecture of the connection is set up. If I open the form in Acrobat Pro, I can manually import data from database.xml, but only from Pro and only if I know where the file is.
Once this is done, I have a drop down menu that these fields are populated into.
So here's the thing, can this form just have a javascript initialize event somewhere that finds the database.xml file, since it's in the same folder, import the values, and populate them where they need to be? Conceptually, it sounds like something that I should, of course, be able to do since it's just duplicating my mouse strokes in Pro, but these security issues and the fact that I want the form to work from Reader, this gets hairy.

This is a very heavy and important database that we will be using, and it doesn't sound like they're very willing to expose this database. Installing it per machine could work in theory but the idea is to have this timecard as a utility that casual employees can pull up and visit on the web, especially if they missed a day of work.
They won't have the first clue how to set up an ODBC connection on their home PC's, nor will they want to.
I do appreciate this clarification though, Paul. It may work for some other projects I'll be doing.
For this reason, unless I can get an ODBC server side, if that even conceptually would work (It's Linux), I'm still thinking I will have one of two options:
1. Find some slick java or formcalc that can pull in values from an XML database derived from the MySQL, which I have mostly ready to go except for said "slick java or formcalc".
2. Link the user to a PHP script that grabs values from the MySQL database, begins to construct the PDF on the fly, and insert the values as necessary.
Any input on this is much appreciated.

BI Admin Tool and XSLT transformation for XML data source - How it works ?

Hello,
There is a possibility to import data from XML data source using BI Admin Tool.
In the import window we can point XSLT file. What is the purpose of that XSLT field?
Why I am asking ?
I thought it is smth like XSLT processor, but simply it doesnt work.
What I did:
- I pointed XML data source file
- I pointed XSLT transformation file
- Click OK, and still get the message that the XML file structure is not supported
After that I transformed that XML file with some desktop XSLT processor using the same XSLT file, and I tried to connect that file directly using BI Admin tool.Then it works. So it means that the transformation is ok.
So basically one question comes to my mind in that situation:
What is the purpose of XSLT field in BI Admin Tool when it comes to XML data source ?
(it doesnt look like XSLT processor)
Greetings

Hi Mariano
Why you need to use XSLT for transforming XML file into ABAP table
Code is a part of some ABAP report. Looks like it is reading a file from file system and updating table after transformation
If you have requirement like you need to read XML file and then insert the data into a SAP table
You can use
File to RFC
File to Proxy scenario using SAP PI.
Please provide more inputs on requirement to help
Thanks

XML data source - Performance problem

Environment - Crystal Reports 2008 , crjava-runtime_12.2.200 jar files, Java 1.5 and XML data source
We are generating reports from our java application. .rpt file is designed using CR 2008 .
The problem we have is its taking longer time to generate a report. Atleast its taking 5-6 minutes. XML file size is around 300 KB. .rpt file size is 2000 KB.
Steps involved in report generation in Java program.
1. Creating ReportClientDocument.
2.Opening ReportClientDocument( reportClientDocument.Open())
3. constructing XML datasource IXMLDataSet(xml_ds). ( setting XML and XSD)
4. setting the datasource to database controller. -- reportClientDocument.getDatabaseController().setDataSource(xml_ds, "", "")
5. then exporting the report in pdf format.
I don't know what I am doing wrong. Please advise me to improve the performance of this function.
Thanks,
Makesh

Ted,
I figured out the cause of the problem. I am using JDeveloper as my IDE thats causing the delay. When I deployed the application and ran it, it took just 30 secs for the report using "Pushing" mechanism. Thats amazing. Thanks for your support.
I have another problem. I am not sure whether to post a separate thread for this problem. Anyway I explain the problem here. If you think it needs another thread, I will post a new one.
When I use my IDE or the following command JRC runs fine and generates the reports with graphs and all.
java -classpath C:\JDK\java1.5\bin\CERT.jar;C:\oracle\JDeveloper10.1.3\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14dms.jar;C:\oracle\JDeveloper10.1.3\jdbc\lib\orai18n.jar;C:\oracle\JDeveloper10.1.3\jdbc\lib\ocrs12.jar;C:\oracle\JDeveloper10.1.3\diagnostics\lib\ojdl.jar;C:\oracle\JDeveloper10.1.3\lib\dms.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\log4j-1.2.8.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\com.azalea.ufl.barcode.1.0.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\commons-collections-3.1.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\commons-configuration-1.2.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\commons-lang-2.1.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\commons-logging.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\CrystalCommon2.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\CrystalReportsRuntime.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\cvom.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\DatabaseConnectors.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\icu4j.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\jai_imageio.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\JDBInterface.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\jrcerom.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\keycodeDecoder.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\log4j.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\logging.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\pfjgraphics.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\QueryBuilder.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\webreporting-jsf.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\webreporting.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\XMLConnector.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\xpp3.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\iText-2.1.5.jar -Xms256m -Xmx512m com.cert.gui.CERTMainFrame
Note: CERT.jar has all the application classes and library classes.
But when I package all these jar files in to single jar file and run the below command, it generates reports with all the features except Graphs.
java -Xms256m -Xmx512m -jar CERT.jar (OR)
java -classpath C:\JDK\java1.5\bin\CERT.jar; -Xms256m -Xmx512m com.cert.gui.CERTMainFrame
Note: CERT.jar has all the application classes and library classes
I need the above command to run successfully as I am planning to use java web start for application deployment.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thanks,
Makesh

How to take XML data source from URL?

Hi,
I creating application which need to download some data from any web page. This page is creating via XSL (as stylesheet) .This XSL
process some XML "data source" and generate HTML page. I wanna ask if exist some way how to take this XML "data source"? If i used
URL and take InputStream I everytime obtain full generated HTML, JavaScript page - compiled by web browser. But if i look to "page
source" of this page in web browser i see just that XML data source which i need to take (only at start of this xml is way to xsl
style sheet).
But this problem i have only at my required page.If i tried to take another page with similar structure code, it was succesful.
Here is link : LINK
Why i dont have permision take clear xml from this page?What is so special?
Exist some way how to take this XML without generated html code?
Thank you.

I apologize for my english. I try explain my problem again:
At this url [http://eu.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=33677] is web page. If you look at "page source", web page is create via XML and XSLT. I need load this data source. I used DOMParser for that:
URL url = new URL("http://eu.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=33677");
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
parser.parse(url);
XMLDocument doc = parser.getDocument();I get exception : Exception in thread "main" oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParserException: Expected '?>' instead of 'EOF'
If i used it at another page (for example [http://www.w3schools.com/XML/simplexsl.xml|http://www.w3schools.com/XML/simplexsl.xml] ), compile was successful and i can work with this XMLDocument and etc.
I try load it by InputStreamReader too:
URL url = new URL("http://eu.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=33677");
try {
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream());
    String line;
    while ((line = br.readLine() != null) {
        System.out.println(line);
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace
}i get only compiled HTML code by web browser. At second page i load successfuly XML data - not compiled by browser.
Is possible to take original xml page source from this page? And what diferent is between this pages?
Thank you and i hope, you can translate this post without headache :-) If it will be necessary, i can more specify some details.

Using a SQL data source and XML data source in the same template

I am trying to develop a template for the Request for Quote report generated in Apps 11.5.10. I have loaded the data from the XML output into the template, but I am missing one field - I need the org_id from the po_headers table. Is it possible to use a sql data source (i.e., "select org_id from po_headers_all where po_header_id = [insert header_id from xml data]...") in addition to the xml data source to populate the template at runtime? When you use the Insert > SQL functionality is it static at the time the template is created, or does it call to the database at runtime? I've looked through all the docs I could find, but this isn't clear.
Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have.
Rhonda

Hi Pablo
Thats a tough one ... if you go custom with a data template you will at least get support on the data template functionality ie you have a problem when you try and build one. You will not get support on the query inside the data template as you might have gotten with the Oracle Report, well you could at least log a bug against development for a bad query.
Eventually that Oracle Report will be converted by development anyway, theres an R12 project going on right now to switch the shipped OReports to data templates. AT this point you'll be fully supported again but:
1. You have to have R12 and
2. You'll need to wait for the patch
On reflection, if you are confident enough in the query then Oracle will support you on its implementation within a data template. Going forward you may be able to swap out your DT and out in the Oracle one without too much effort.

How to create a report using XML data source from Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
Iu2019m having Crystal Report Designer XI R2 SP4. Iu2019m trying to create a report using XML data source stored on disk. This is a customer order report and the xml is structured in such a way that it has an order details header part (master) and then it has several order lines (detail). One order line can have several order line characteristics (detail-detail). So what I need to know is now I can design this layout from the designer. If this was done using views I can do it with sub-reports but using xml data this seems to be different. Can you help me to design this layout? I have included the xml and xsd as well.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Sourashree,
Thank you for the response and ideas you have given me so far. I can get the fetch the data from the data source without any problem. That is I do the following,
1.     New Report
2.     From Create New Connection-> XML
3.     Provide the u201CLocal XML Fileu201D and have u201CSpecify Schema Fileu201D checked -> Next
4.     Provide the u201CLocal Schema Fileu201D -> Finish
Then I can see the following under XML
+ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
        CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
And from here if I add the following three I can get all the fields I need to the report
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
Then I come to the Linking section. Here I canu2019t link anything. There is a common field called u201CInternal_IDu201D but I canu2019t link using it. So I get a message when I click Next. From here I add all the fields.
For this point onwards only I need help. How do I group, add fields and design the layout so I can get an report output as follows.

How can I achieve this kind of a layout using the give xml and xsd? Should I use grouping if so how should I do the grouping?
I have included the full xml and xsd in the first mail I posted but I canu2019t see it now. I can include that again if you want.

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...).

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?

MapViewer with XML data source

Hello all,
We have the MapViewer read data from JDBC data source doing spatial queries. Can any one tell me if I can use XML data source as input to the MapViewer.
We have a data source that is only available thru Web services, we cannot make a database view on the schema.
If not is it planned in the production version.
Thanks

How does the xml data look like? in GML?
If the xml data set is not too large, maybe you can add them (after your application has parsed them) as additional MapViewer GeoFeatures in a map request.
Currently MapViewer (preview or production release of 9.0.4) does not support xml-only datasource.
We will look into incorporating GML or other standard-based xml datasource for a future release of MapViewer.

Delta queue & XML data source

Hi All
Can any body pls tell mme as to what this delta que ais and where is it used and how is it created,and also i want to know what is this XML Data source.
I need to get the data from XI,so i need this integration.
I would be very thank ful if any body cuold suggest me with a link on the notes ar step by step formatt.
Point's will be awarded,Thanks in advance.
Kittu

Hi Jay,
From Delta queue(RSA7) ur BW system is going to fetch the records of R3 or source system.
After extraction process it reaches RSA7 from there when u triggers infopackage
the job is ready to flood ur D.target with records.
Ensure that records are there for corresponding D.source this has to be attained thro' various Update methods(v3).
DataSource that is generated in SAP BW on the basis of a file-DataSource and
that can be used to push data to SAP BW
for more info on creation of XML D.source refer the link

CollapsiblePanel with XML data source

I've been working with the CollapsiblePanel for the past two
nights. I can't make the panel collapse at runtime when I have XML
data attached.
I validated by downloading one of the Adobe Lab
CollapsiblePanel samples. I validated that I could make the sample
work from my Dreamweaver CS3 environment. Then, I added an XML data
source and retested. The panel would not collapse. Then, I took out
the XML dataset and retested the CollapsiblePanel. It worked.
Is this a design feature? I can't imagine this was designed
to work this way. I'm trying to create a scrollable div that can
collapse. I have everything working except the collapse feature.
(BTW: I tried defining a spry:region and spry:detailregion, it
didn't seem to matter.)
CODE SNIPIT
<div id="CollapsiblePanel1" class="CollapsiblePanel"
spry:region="dsWeek">
<div class="CollapsiblePanelTab">Standard Collapsible
Panel</div>
<div class="CollapsiblePanelContent">
<p>{feature}</p>
</div>
</div>

Newbie XML data source questions

Post Author: tel
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I'm trying to use the XML data source via http and i'm running into a couple of issues.
First, we have separate environments for development, QA, and production. Each environment will have a seperate URL to retrieve the XML for the report. I would like to use the same report design to access each environment. Is there a way to update the URL in the data source (or replace the data source with one that has the correct URL) without having to re-add the fields to the report design?
The second issue is similar. I can't seem to get Crystal to recognize changes in the XML format (new fields for example) without having to delete and recreate the data source (which automatically removes all the associated fields from the report). Is there a way around this, or again, a way of re-creating the data source without it removing the existing fields in the report?
Thanks,

I have the same problem. Where can I find help about setting the data source when connecting to a web service. Since the hostname is hardcoded in the report, it is necessary to update it in the code.

Create Report with CR4E and XML Data Source

Hi all,
I have a problem when create a report with CR4E that should use a XML data source. It is not possible to choose fields from the field explorer, because ther are no fields from the XML-file. Is there a general problem when using an ODA data source in CR4E? At the moment I can only create reports with a database as data source.
Please help me with a tip.
Thanks
Arnold

Hi,
After Installing CR4E Version 2 the code snippet for creating a XML-report not works as JSP. Has anywhere a hint to resolve the problem or a complete JSP-file?
reportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
