XML datasource definition J2EE?

Is there a way to define a datasource with XML?
My admin is not working on a linux (FC5) with Sun Appserver 9
but I am getting page translation.
... Cold Fusion without datasourses is like a peanut butter
and jelly sandwich without bread .... messy

This is close ... it might work but I would like something
longer lasting

XML datasource: dynamic file name and location

I have an RDF file that uses an XML file as its datasouce. I have supplied it a valid DTD file location and a valid XML file location, via the report wizard. I would like to programatically change the name of the XML file at runtime. What are my options...use an XML customization? I would like to do it in an after parameter form trigger. Is this possible?
If I have to use an XML customization, is it possible to only customize part of the datasource tag. For example, here is my datasource tag (not from an RDF, but an XML report definition)

How can I only customize the <xml>file:C:/test/175.xml</xml>?
I only want to change the name of 175.xml to something like 176.xml.
I have to put in a valid XML when I create the report via Reports Builder, but once it is in there I need to change it.

Hello Danny,
I am trying to pass a user parameter into the xml location <xml></xml> tags like you did but am having problems. If it's not too much trouble, would you please send me a sample of your source code so I can check my syntax? Below is my code and the error message I am getting. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I've been stuck on this for days! Thanks!

SSRS Designer - XML Datasource - Parameter passing XML gets encoded, causes error on WS Request

Hello,
I am attempting to query a List from SharePoint using the XML Datasource. I am forced to use this datasource as our infrastructure team will not be upgrading our SSRS 2008 farm to SSRS 2008 R2 anytime soon. 2008 R2 has Native SharePoint
List Datasources ( which works great FYI ). I already completed the report using the Native SP List DS, only to find out that my timing was not so great as 2008 R2 was not in production yet... /sigh, communication... anyways...
I have successfully queried the List using the XML Datasource. It is only when I try to use the CAML query in the query parameter that it fails. So, here is my Query:
<Query>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems">
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="listName">
<DefaultValue>{DD3DE881-1F9D-4016-AD73-F7E1D9340880}</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
<Parameter Name="query">
<DefaultValue>
<Query>
<Where>
<Gt>
<FieldRef Name="Modified" />
<Value Type="DateTime">2011-03-01</Value>
</Gt>
</Where>
</Query>
</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
</Method>
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="True">*</ElementPath>
</Query>
I will be replacing that hard date with something like =DateAdd("d",-7,Now()) later, but focusing on the task at hand...
Here is the error ( trimmed so you don't need to read the whole stack ):
<soap:Body>
<soap:Fault>
<faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode>
<faultstring>Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown.</faultstring>
<detail>
<errorstring xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">Element <Query> of parameter query is missing or invalid.</errorstring>
<errorcode xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">0x82000000</errorcode>
</detail>
</soap:Fault>
</soap:Body>
The key to that error is: Element <Query> of parameter query is missing or invalid.
So I see that it is being encoded, so I decided to capture the actual Webservice request with Fiddler:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<GetListItems xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">
<query>
<Query>
<Where>
<Gt>
<FieldRef Name="Modified" />
<Value Type="DateTime">2011-03-01</Value>
</Gt>
</Where>
</Query>
</query>
<listName>{DD3DE881-1F9D-4016-AD73-F7E1D9340880}</listName>
</GetListItems>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
So now that we know that somehow the XML parameter of "query" is being encoded. How do I tell the SSRS designer that for this XML datasource's dataset query, I do not wish to encode that parameter? I have searched all day today and came up with
very little. I found a few posts with a simliar question, but no solution was ever mentioned.
The closest to a likely solution was this Post :
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlreportingservices/thread/8a9ba2fc-26cd-423e-bbbf-a16b5c9722f5/
in particular this phrase interested me:
"Query parameters of type Msxml2.DOMDocument30 are passed as XML. Parameters of type String which happen to contain XML are passed as strings and are XML encoded in the SOAP message. The function CXml(String) converts a string
into an Msxml2.DOMDocument30 and can be used in query parameter expressions."
Similar to the poster of that question, I also cannot find a way to define the parameter as an XML type or the use of this mysterious CXML() function in the expression builder...
I'm looking for a Microsoft resource to tell me whats going on here, but if anyone else has a workaround or an idea, I would be happy to try it out.
Regards,
-Ryan, Solution Architect

Hi Ryan,
Thanks for your question, from your statement, it seems that you want to give a default value for the parameter named query, right? If so I would recommend you achieve this requirement in report level, please follow these:
1. Create a parameter named Date, select Date/Time as data type.
2. Move to Default values tab, then click Add button ->type in =DateAdd("d",-7,Now()) as defult value's expression.
3. Right-cilck the dataset, and then select DataSet properties.
4. Move to Filters tab, click add button to add a filter.
5. In the drop-down list of Expression, select Modified datefield with Date/Time datatype.
6. Type in =Parameters!Date.Value in value's textbox.

Error while passing date parameter to the XML data definition

Hi All,
I have developed a BI publisher report using XML data definition & RTF template.
This data definition contains a SQL query in it's CDATA section and runs as a concurrent program(without RDF) . We are looking to pass a date parameter to the SQL query and its not accepting the date parameter. However, when we hardcode SYSDATE in the SQL query in place of the parameter, the report runs fine. In the log file it shows that the parameter is being treated in American date style and we are using DD-MON-RRRR format. I have tried to convert the date format however still the error exists.
What we did ?
Created a XML data definition which contains the SQL query in its CDATA section & p_rundate (DATE) parameter.
Registerd the XML data definition as concurrent program with EXECUTABLE= XDODTEXE and Output format as XML with p_date as a date parameter.
Looking for any available solution for the same.
Thanks.

XML DataSource delivers no mare data after upgrade from 7.01 to 7.31

Thanks in advance.
Best regards,

Hi Nicole,
First of all I am afraid that I am not an expert in this area. My impression is that the HTTP destination type is created on the receiver side (i.e. BW). If that is the case, then I think t/code SM59 is the right place where you can also create other connection types than ABAP (please refer to paragraph 4.1 of the document which was mentioned in the other discussion).
However, I suggest to involve a basis/system administrator and if possible also an XI consultant to come to a solution. My gut feeling says that it's a connection problem which has to be solved in either the BW system, XI system or in both systems.
Best regards,
Sander

Sorry, you aren't going to get a "detailed" explanation of such a vague question. And you aren't going to get any explanation from me because you asked for answers to be e-mailed to you. For all I know somebody has e-mailed you the answer already, so I could be wasting my time answering.

Establishing Database connection for XML Data Definition?

I have a XML Data Definition which will query data from Oracle Database.
I did some research and tried few setting options in JDeveloper (11g), but had no luck on finding a way to connect to Database.
My goal is to use JDeveloper to run a XML Data Definition against Database and generate a XML File with data.
Can this be done?

Hi,
Consider there is 2 database, Oracle_1 and Oracle_2.
I want to fetch some table data in Oracle_2 from Oracle_1 database Stored procedure/functions through query staments and cursors. How to establish the Oracle_1 DB connection in Oracle_2 DB stored procedure/function. Is it possible?
It's not the same how you implement the programs in java or .Net to create DB connection. It's different over here. You have use the DataBase Links in order to make to connection with another DB and use that Link in the stored procedure or function where ever its necessary as per your requirement.

How to use XML data stored in table column in XML Data Definition

Hi,
We are using BIP 5.6.3 (Oracle EBS R12).
We have a table which stores XML data in a column. Is there a way we can use this XML data through a SQL query in XML Data Definition of BI Publisher report instead or writing whole SQL query to fetch same data from Oracle EBS?
Can some please provide a sample SQL query that we should use in Data Definition?
Thanks!

Mark,
Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for.
After doing @Name in both places (SELECT and WHERE clause) it worked.
Now I have one more question.
There are multiple DIMENSION tags in my xml, and I want to see the NAME attribute values for all of those DIMENSIONs. The following query returns
ORA-19025: EXTRACTVALUE returns value of only one node.
Cause: Given XPath points to more than one node.
Action: Rewrite the query so that exactly one node is returned.
SELECT
extractValue(value(x), '/AW/@Name') as "AW",
extractValue(value(x), '/AW/Dimension/@Name') as "DIMENSIONS"
from
OLAP_AW_PRC,
table(xmlsequence(extract (xmltype(AW_XML_TMPL_VAL), '/AWXML/AWXML.content/Create/ActiveObject/AW'))) x
where
extractValue(value(x) , '/AW/@Name') = 'OMCR4'

Dynamic xml datasource

Post Author: ililal
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
This is a java web application using:jdk 1.4.12crystal reports xi r2sun application server 8.2Here's the problem:I would like to generate a dynamic XML document as the datasource. (This XML datasource is a result set from a query. I've completed and tested the XML file; it works.) Using this new XML datasource as the driver for the Crystal Report, my reports should display in a web environment.BTW, I created the Crystal Report rpt file by first selecting XML. Created a second report with the Database files option. They both worked with in the Crystal report view section; however, they didn't work in the application.this is the error:com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: No database connector has been specified.---- Error code :-2147467259 Error code name:failedI've searched the net with no luck.Hereu2019s my source code:ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();reportClientDoc.open("Report1.rpt", 0); IXMLDataSet xmlDS = new XMLDataSet(new ByteArray(bytesFromFile(XMLFileLocation)), new ByteArray(bytesFromFile(XMLFileLocation)));// Change the XML datasource to the new XML datasource reportClientDoc.getDatabaseController().setDataSource(xmlDS, "", "");

Using Oracle Designer for XML Message Definition

Knowing what a great advantage it is to have all my data definitions in one place (Deigner Repository) I was wondering if anyone has had a go at using Designer for XML message definitions?

Hello:
Didnt know I will have my question almost ready:).
Was wondering is it possible to have xmltyple column as data source, use xsl for transformation and then display as html or pdf? Also, how about css? Not sure if any of these would work. If anyone can give a reference, that would be great. What is the best way. My xml stored in the database in quite complex and may vary depending on different types of input parameters. Do I need to get a master that will have all valid elements and attributes - or - have dtd or xsd?

How to filter XML Datasource bound to Dropdown list?

Dear All,
I quiet new to LiveCycle designer ES from past couple of weeks I am working on this.
Right Now I have issue with filering XML Datasource bound with dropdown list.
I have XML file which has the data to the States and City. I have bound one of my dropdown list to State. My requirement is once I select the 'State' the corresponding City Names has to be listed in the second dropdown list.
I searched in the net and got couple of samples on that. But I failed to make my form work as requirement. Even though I have generated the XML file as given structure in the examples.
Please check the attached xml file which I have created.
I have struckup right now. So, help me this.
Very much thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sree Harshavardhana.

Dear BR,
Thanks for the quick reply and most useful example. I'll try to apply the same in to my form and look in to it.
But, I would like to know is what was the corrections you have made in the javascript. I am not wrong the code which you have written in the example pdf the same I had written, but it did not work for me! Please check the code below which I had written.
StatesAndCities.#subform[0].StateName::change - (JavaScript, client)
var stateDataNode = xfa.resolveNode("StatesAndCities.States.(StateID.value == " + this.boundItem(xfa.event.change) + ")");
CityName.clearItems();
for (var i=0; i<stateDataNode.City.all.length; i++)
xfa.host.messageBox(stateDataNode.Cities.all.item(i).Code.value);
CityName.addItem(staffDataNode.City.all.item(i).Code.value);
I'll look forward by highlighting my mistakes, so that I can go by my own.
Regards,
Sree Harshavardhana.
