XML Date/Time groups

I am having trouble parsing an XML document using jstl tags. The XML is being generated by a .NET web service, which is extracting data from a SQLServer 2000 DB. The trouble I am having is that the date-time XML I receive has an extra "0000-0800" appended to the end (e.g. 1899-12-30T07:30:00.0000000-0800), which I can't seem to circumvent to parse out the info I need. Any ideas how I can elegantly extract the hour and minutes?

If this is an async web service, then use a tool like the JAXRPC reference implementation or Apache Axis to compile client classes for the web service.
Even so, just because they can use this in .NET doesn't mean it is correct. Web Services have to follow the schema data types. They are supposed to be platform independent not just .NET to .NET. I hope I'm wrong about this being an invalid format. If so it sounds like MS is up to it's old tricks again.
"Yeah, we'll follow the standard. Scout's honor!"
Then they secretly hijack the standard so their stuff is incompatible with everyone elses.

Changing date time group

I've been searching for a few days, but can't find an answer to this.....Can the default MM/DD/YYYY group be changed? I've be trying to change to DD/MM/YY or something similar with no luck.

If you mean the date part of the keyboard while entering dates in date formatted parts of the spreadsheet, I think we are stuck with Month Day Year. I have just about made it a habit to hit the second day Button above the onscreen keyboard before the first month button..
Would be great if it could be changed though.

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,

PDF form with XML data connection comes up blank at run time

Hello All,
I am a newbie to ADOBE Livecycle 9, but am very proficient in C#. I would like to request for your guidance on the following issue.
We have a desktop application in C#, WPF, Sqlserver. The requirement is to launch a Livecycle form from the application for the user to read/edit/save data
I have done this much so far -
Downloaded trial version of Livecycle 9
Developed a interactive PDf form
Created an XML based data connection. Generated fields on the form using the fields from this connection.
Set the .XML file as preview source for the form
the controls on the form are boumd to the xml data source
In design mode, the form works fine, it displays my data correctly
I have created a WPF form with a button. On click of this button, I call the Process.Start(pdf-file-path). My pdf is launched properly
I have added a combo box to my WPF form. I select a parameter from this, then call a stored procedure which returns me a datatable depending on parameter passed
Using the returned datatable, I have used the datatable.writexml and datatable.writexmlschema to create my XML and XSD files. as mentioned above, this xsd is used to create the data connection for the PDF and the XML for the preview source
This is what I want to do -
Launch the PDF from my WPF form, pre-populated with the newly created XML data from my WPF form.
So basically, as the user changes the selection criteria from the combo box, the XML file data will change and the PDF file will be launched each time with new data.
The XSD format will always be constant
Problem -
My XML and XSD get created properly, my PDF launches, but it is empty
If I change my selection criteria and run the WPF application, and then open the PDF in design mode, it asks me whether it should refresh the XML source. This means that the PDF form is connecting correctly to the XML source
So why then, does the form come up empty at run time?
What link am I missing?
I have found some sites that help using Web applications, but nothing for desktop applications. It would be fantastic if you could point me to some help for developing Livecycle forms with C# / SQLServer
Your help in this case will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

Oops, something happended with the above post. I will try again... I have tried your suggestion but I still get the same garbled XML (with data repeated and some values "cut in half". Here is what I get after decode-service and extract-to-XML-service. This is just the first barcode, the others are similar, sorry for the poor formatting, but I get a CDATA tage infront of the "istensen" value. CDATA:istensen</fld_ForMellemEfterNavn ><fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie >Superroad 99, 1330 Supertown</fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie ><fld_PrivatTelefonnummer >20724283</fld_PrivatTelefonnummer ></sub_Person ></sub_PktA ><fld_BlanketNr >kb0371ff</fld_BlanketNr ><fld_BarcodeCount /></form1 >/sub_Adresse ><sub_Person ><fld_ForMellemEfterNavn>Kim Christensen</fld_ForMellemEfterNavn ><fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie > Superroad 99, 1330 Supertown </fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie ><fld_PrivatTelefonnummer >20724283</fld_PrivatTelefonnummer ></sub_Person ></sub_PktA ><fld_BlanketNr >kb0371ff</fld_BlanketNr ><fld_BarcodeCount /></form1 Obviously this is not a legal xml-string, so I can do nothing about it. I have tried using a custom .NET component (ClearImage) for reading the same form (with the barcode) I get the correct data out from the barcodes. So I guess something is wrong with the decode-service in Barcoded Forms ES when I use compressed XML. But I can conclude since the ClearImage component can read the barcodes that they are compressed correctly. Can you help me with getting further with this problem? Sincerely Kim

How convert date/time from xml in xdp(Designer)?

Hi, i want to convert date/time format from xml in Designer, date/time value in xml is NOT in common format YYYY-MM-DD (if is in a common format i can do this with pattern)
I have a "DateTime" Field in Xdp can get from Xml date and time:
In XML <DateTime>DD-MM-YYYY</DateTime> i want to convert in XDP in DateTime Field in "DD-April-YYYY"
Can i do this?

You can do this way..
Bind the date field to your XML tag.
Set the display pattern for the date field.
In the initialize event of the date field place the following code.
Set JavaScript as language.
var dtStr = this.rawValue;
var pos1=dtStr.indexOf("-");
var pos2=dtStr.indexOf("-",pos1+1);
var strMonth=dtStr.substring(0,pos1);
var strDay=dtStr.substring(pos1+1,pos2);
var strYear=dtStr.substring(pos2+1);
//Assign the formatted value to the Date field.
this.rawValue = strYear + "-" + strMonth + "-" + strDay;
Thanks

Updating EXIF date/time in XML files (Bridge CS4)

Is there a way to re-read the EXIF date/time information from RAW camera files and update that existing information in the XML files?

To my knowledge not with Bridge, maybe with a script.
Basically the problem occurs while using multiple camera's that have not all the same correct date and time. To my experience the quickest way is to bite the bullet once and using the filters for date time for each dslr and apply labels to each dslr, then manual select the correct sequence and rename the whole bunch with a sequence number in front of all the filenames so you can use filename to sort the correct order.
And after this of course check next time all date and time settings before starting a new job :-)

Date time field will not bind over into XML data file

am using the Current Date field in a form that is supposed to give me the current date & time. In the Object, Value, I am using a "calculated - Read Only" , with Run-time property of Date and Time. WHen I view this as a PDF, the current datae & time display on the form as well as when I view the body pages, the {current date/time} is displayed in the actual field of the form. My only problem is I want to bind this so I can export the data to an XML data file, to import to an Access Database. WHen I use these settings, I do not have a "binding" tab to use. WHen I change vaule to "calculation script), it then pops up the binding tab and let's me export the field to the XML data file, but the data in that field is not comming over (the date & time). The field comes into the database inport, but is blank. What am I doing wrong..?? Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

Well, I'm assuming that when you change it to a calculation script you see the date in the PDF and therefore have the script to set the value written properly. So, if you change the binding from None to Normal or an explicit binding the date will be exported in the data. If all of that is correct, then the most likely problem is the data format you are exporting is not a format that your database will accept.

How can I make the current date/time be sent when emailing as XML?

I'm creating a form for a customer to use for submitting print jobs. This customer will be emailing the XML form data, which will in turn be converted into a production order. I'd like to make the PDF form capture my customer's system time, so that I know when they filled out the form. I COULD just leave that up up the customer and use required current date and time fields, but that provides the ability for the customer to falsify that information.
Is there any good way to capture the current date/time in the XML data, so that the customer doesn't need to nor has the ability to?
Any suggestions would be great!

You can use the following methods getHours(),getMinutes(), and getSeconds() from the date object to obtain the values for hour,minute,and second.

Group xml data from different sql queries in data template

Hello,
I need to do a mailing program with bursting that sends differents alerts in one mail.
For example i can have alerts for late orders, alerts for shipping not confirmed, so really different address (I dont want to use union). I have done three sql statement in data template , it gives the following ouput.
<GA_EMAIL>[email protected]</GA_EMAIL>
<G_ALERTS_1>
<ALERT>
</ALERT>
<ALERT>
</ALERT>
</G_ALERTS_1>
</GA_EMAIL>
<GA_EMAIL>[email protected]</GA_EMAIL>
<G_ALERTS_1>
<ALERT>
</ALERT>
</G_ALERTS_1>
</GA_EMAIL>
<GA_EMAIL>[email protected]</GA_EMAIL>
<G_ALERTS_2>
</G_ALERTS_2>
</GA_EMAIL>
I woud like the bursting or data template to group alerts when email is the same, because here it sends an email for each different alert.
Ideal output would be:
<GA_EMAIL>[email protected]</GA_EMAIL>
<G_ALERTS_1>
<ALERT>
</ALERT>
<ALERT>
</ALERT>
</G_ALERTS_1>
<G_ALERTS_2>
</G_ALERTS_2>
</GA_EMAIL>
But I don't know how to group different sql statements on a common field (email)
Any ideas ?
Thanks

the for-each group works well in a rtf template, but the rtf template is only applied after the bursting (in order I get first data template (instead of a report) -> bursting -> rtf template)
I want to be able to group xml data from the data template, so I can do bursting (by email ) but only once per mail.

Designing a 'sample time feed' for Spry XML Data Set

Hi!
Often when I call a Spry XML Data Set I find I can't get the
schema. If offers you the option to design a sample time feed but
doesn't give you enough info to be able to even guess how to do
this.
Is the answer in modifying that php line somehow?
Any guidance would be much appreciated!
Mike

The idea for Design Time XML is that you can use a static XML
file instead of a dynamic source, in case you don't have access to
the real data. You can use the Design Time XML to make the query
and design the page.
This gives you access to the data references for designing
the page.
If you are getting schema errors, the numbers that the dialog
shows is the line number and character number (1,1)
You should be able to see the XML directly in the browser. If
you can, then DW should be able to consume it.

Maintain Date/Time Stamp in Export as XML

Hello,
I've create a report which has a field as mm/dd/yyyy HH:mm.
When I export as .TXT .CSV, Excel ect it maintains the format; however when I export as XML I loose the formate and it exports as mm/dd/yyyy 12:00:00
The below in anyother format or in BusinessObjects would be 09/04/2007 10:38.
<COLUMN INDEX="6" ID="4" TYPE="Date" FORMAT="m/d/yyyy hh:mm:ss AM/PM">Actual Start (Date & Time)</COLUMN>
<CELL INDEX="6">9/4/2007 12:00:00 AM</CELL>
Any thoughts?
As well is it possible to customize tags of the exported XML so it is more of a XML document then a spreadsheet.

Thank you!
For the issue with the Date/Time stamp is this a bug in older versions? I am using BusinessObjects 6.1; the only time it does this is when exported as XML
Cheers,
Tim

Group By date time columns

I am trying to write a sql statement that will group datetime column in a result set by the number of days. Based on an input value I need to sum a number column where the data is grouped every x number of days. One run the result set may be calculated for data within every 5 day period the next run may be a 15 day period. How would you write a group by statement to accomplish this?

select to_date(trunc(to_char(d,'J')/5)*5,'J'), sum...
from...
group by to_date(trunc(to_char(d,'J')/5)*5,'J')

Importing XML Data Back into the Form

I have a form that shows several subforms based on the selections the user has made while filling in the form. This is working quite well but when I import the XML data back into the form it doesn't show the subforms that have been used.
Is there an easy way to change this?
Thanks in advance!
Emma

Actually the issue may actually have to do with the fact that the connections aren't bound, but I haven't seen the data.
I have some fairly complex forms that include both subforms and instances, have an XSD embedded and export as XML. When I import the data, everythi
Now, that being said...
Are your subforms "hidden" and you opt to display them upon selection of a radio button for example, or do you SetInstances()? If you're using visible=TRUE or FALSE, that may also cause some issues.
Try this -- on Form:ready try this code:
if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(1);
_subform2.setInstances(0);
_subform3.setInstances(0);
else if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(0);
_subform2.setInstances(1);
_subform3.setInstances(0);
else if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(0);
_subform2.setInstances(0);
_subform3.setInstances(1);
else { // this is fisrt time open -- i sometimes had issues with subforms being visible on first entry
_subform1.setInstances(0);
_subform2.setInstances(0);
_subform3.setInstances(0);
Then on:Click essentially copy most of the code you put in form:ready
if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(1);
_subform2.setInstances(0);
_subform3.setInstances(0);
else if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(0);
_subform2.setInstances(1);
_subform3.setInstances(0);
else if(this.rawValue == "on"){ //this radio button 1
_subform1.setInstances(0);
_subform2.setInstances(0);
_subform3.setInstances(1);
Of course this will go on top of your radio button group.
If you are exporting to XML, it will make your life a whole lot easier, by the way, to import an XSD and bind your nodes, especially as your forms and data start to get more complex.
Finally, you may also know this but -- unless you have Forms Server, any user that wants to export the data or import the data will need to have at least full Acrobat Professional. If you want people to be able to save data in the form but import/export isn't that important, they will need to have full Acrobat.
I hope that helps a bit. Good luck!
