Xml file comparison

hi all,
can anybody help in coding for comparing two xml files which are the outputs of OCR system that we r developing

Maybe.

How can I compare the actual and expected values in Unit testing when they are XML files?

I have created a unit test for a method in VS 2008. My expected value and actual value are XMLs. Therefore though the output is same as I expect it gives an error as I am doing string comparison now. How can I compare these 2 XMLs in expected output and
actual output format in Unit Testing?

In unit test, when you want to validate XML files, you feed them into the class / struct that you want to feed the XML into and compare the values there (You don't just feed it in XMLReader and feed it line by line, right? But if it really is, that's how
you should also test it in unit tests).
In short, how you'd use the XML in your code, that's how you should test it in unit test.

ABAP Data to XML file

Hi,
I have read this weblog
/people/patrick.baer/blog/2005/02/24/abap-serialization--part-i-quick-n-easy and tried to serialize ABAP data into XML format.
In fact, I have copied the exact code from this weblog, but somehow this file is not visible in my pc.
DATA example_data TYPE spfli.
select single * from spfli into example_data.
DATA xml_utils TYPE REF TO if_ixml.
xml_utils = cl_ixml=>create( ).
DATA xml_stream_factory TYPE REF TO if_ixml_stream_factory.
xml_stream_factory = xml_utils->create_stream_factory( ).
DATA xml_output_stream TYPE REF TO if_ixml_ostream.
xml_output_stream = xml_stream_factory->create_ostream_uri( system_id =
'file://c:test.xml' ).
try.
CALL TRANSFORMATION id
SOURCE data_node = example_data
RESULT XML xml_output_stream.
catch cx_sy_conversion_base64 CX_SY_CONV_ILLEGAL_DATE_TIME.
write 'there is an exception'.
endtry.
This part of the code, I have also changed to :
xml_stream_factory->create_ostream_uri( system_id =
'file://test.xml' ).
and still the file is not visible.
I presume three reasons:
a) Looking in the wrong place
b) Some configuration, I am not doing properly
c) Something else has to be done, to write a file to system
Any help on this regard, is highly appreciated.
Next issue being, how robust is the approach of serializing ABAP data into XML format, so that a third party system can pick up this data and do a comparison ?
Some parameters that I am looking for in this regards are:
a) Error Validation (can XML data be incorrectly written into a file/while transmitting this data some errors can creep in. If so, how do I rectify it. As far as I know, this data can only be written to Presentation Server or using FTP ,transported to required destination. Is there any other approach ? )
b) Security
Would be great if you could drop some hints for the above procedure.

I think you are perhaps overestimating the capabilities of the osteam object. If you want to write the XML to a file the easiest thing to do is render it an ostream_itable (internal ABAP table). Then you can download it your PC with the GUI_DOWNLOAD function:
parameter: ifile type file_table-filename obligatory
           default 'c:issue.xml'.
****Temp File name for function module call.
data: ifilename type string.
move ifile to ifilename.

         g_encoding type ref to if_ixml_encoding,
         ostream type ref to if_ixml_ostream.

As far as a different system, once you have the data serialized into a string or internal table you have lots of possibilites. If the other system is an SAP system you could send the data via RFC. You could always write the XML string to the server file system (via open dataset, transfer to dataset). You can then FTP the file (using built in SAP FTP functionality) just about anywhere.
What are you looking for as far as robust and secure. The XML serializer is built in the ABAP Kernel and quite robust. As far as secure- the data isn't secure at all. The data is written into a simple string (if written into the file system or your pc - it is a text or binary file that can easily be read by just about anything). Serializing to XML in and of itself isn't going to provide any security.

Try to do my first XML Schema in SQL Server 2012 Mangement Studio(SSMS2012)-How to execute the xsd and xml files in SSMS2012?

Hi all,
I learmed the basic stuff of XML, DTD, DOM, etc. long time ago. Now, I came back to resume my XML journey and try to learn the XML Schemas, XPath and XQuery. I have Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012) in our computer network. From
Page 221 of the old Book "Beginning XML 2nd Edition" written by David Hunter, et.al., (published by Wrox), I copied the name5.xsd and name5.xml :

Unable to export Primavera P6 xml files

Hi there,
Good day. I have some issues during the import/export process. For some unknown reason, Primavera generates blank xml files during the export process. I chose Primavera P6 - (XML) as export file format. Here are the steps that I have followed
-- Open a project
-- Click on file and then on Export at the main menu
-- Choose XML as export format and specify the file name path
-- Click Finish
-- Primavera generates a blank xml file instead of a zip file which primavera would normally do.
Has anyone of you run into this kind of problem?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
I mention you're using the p6 professional / P6 Client. Which version/Release (P6v7.0, R8.0, R8.1, R8.2 or R8.3) with which Service Pack do you use?
Can you first check if the Claim Digger/Schedule Comparison is working? If not can you please check which JRE you have installed and if you have a environment variable JAVA_HOME set to your JRE-path.
Regards,
Daniel

Need help processing XML files

I'm fairly new to Java and have never worked with XML. I need to process several XML files and display them in a matrix for comparison and I'm not sure if I need to understand SAX, DOM or some other API. I'm not creating the files, I'm just parsing them to put into a table so they can be displayed for comparison. I could be processing up to several hundreds of files, so performance would also be an issue.
I'm just looking for options and possible areas I can begin to look for help. Can anyone tell me which APIs would help me acheive my goal?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the response Kev. I guess a better diescription of the problem would be to say that I want to display the attributes and values of the differnet files in a matrix.
For example...
Here are 2 sample xml files with the same tags and attributes.
XML FILE A
<tag1 name="Fred", country="ca">
<tag2 group-name="Group 1">
<tag3 color ="blue">
</tag3>
</tag2>
</tag1>
XML FILE B
<tag1 name="Sue", country="us">
<tag2 group-name="Group 2">
<tag3 color="red">
</tag3>
</tag2>
</tag1>
I would like to have them displayed as follows...
XML FILE A XML FILE B
tag1 name           Fred Sue
tag1 country           ca us
tag2 group-name          Group 1 Group 2
tag3 Color          Blue     Red
HTML tags didn't work, so the matrix is bunched together, but I think you get the idea. My question is, which would be better to use SAX or DOM. I could be running this on as many as 50 or 60 files, so the matrix could get very large and performance could be an issue as multiple users could be doing this comparison at the same time.

Recursively Merging 2 XML files with XSLT

Hi there, I'm having a problem with merging a couple of XML files. I've found a few examples of merging on-line but none that really help.
Basically I have an XML file which is written out by my Java program that looks something like this:
<alldata>
   <data val="xx">
      <data val="yy">
         <data val="ss"></data>
      </data>
   <data val="gg"></data>
</alldata>The number of children and siblings can change by the way.
Therefore in the XSLT document I'm displaying the data recursively, i.e.
<tr><td><xsl:value-of select="@val"/></td></tr>
<xsl:for-each select="*">
   <xsl:call-template name="itself"></xsl:call-template>
</xsl:for-each>This all works fine, but I now need to do a side by side comparison with another XML document that has exactly the same structure, but could have different values. I'm not sure how to do this, perhaps using the same recursive code and using a sort of pointer to where you are in the 2nd XML file (see below), but I've no idea how to go about this?
<tr><td><xsl:value-of select="@val"/></td>
       <td><xsl:value-of select="<2nd documents @val>"/></td>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="*">
   <xsl:call-template name="itself"></xsl:call-template>
</xsl:for-each>Output:
xx    xy
yy    yy
ss   ss
gg   hhDoes anybody have any suggestions or help on how to achieve this?
Cheers
Dan

I posted the same question on the xsl-list message list and got a working solution - here it is in case anyone else has the same problem:
<xsl:variable name="a" select="document('doc1.xml')//data"/>
<xsl:variable name="b" select="document('doc2.xml')//data"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
     <table>
       <xsl:for-each select="$a">
         <xsl:variable name="p" select="position()"/>
         <tr>
           <td><xsl:value-of select="@val"/></td>
           <td><xsl:value-of select="$b[$p]/@val"/></td>
         </tr>
       </xsl:for-each>
     </table>
</xsl:template>Cheers

Compare two XML files: Analysis and Design

Hi, Java/XML/JDOM experts,
I realised that an open source of Java utility to compare two XML is still missing. So I would like to write one for my JDOM excises.
I plan to do it in three steps:
1.Define the problem domain.
2.Design the classes to be developed.
3.Coding
Below is the problem domain. Would you review it and tell me if it is fine?
Best regards,
AG
Compare two XML files
Schema assumption:
The xml files used for the comparison must have the same schema.
Definition:
1. Two elements of simple type are said equal if their name and value are identical.
2. Two elements of complex type are said comparable if their name, attributes are identical.
3. Two elements of complex type are said equal if they are comparable and their children elements are identical.

Hi,
Thanks for reviewing my idea.
The xml files used for the comparison must have the
same schema.Including not having a schema at all? And if they do
have a schema, must they be valid according to the
schema?I will only support schema based xml files. To include a schema is a good practice. So I will valid them agaisnt schema (is this possible with JDOM? I am testing ...)
>
2. Two elements of complex type are said comparableif
their name, attributes are identical.
3. Two elements of complex type are said equal ifthey
are comparable and their children elements are
identical.Do you plan to require child elements to appear in the
same order for the two documents to be equal? (Note
that XML specifically says that the order of
attributes is not significant.)No. The order is not significant as I use the attributes as the keys to find comparable element counterpart.
Here is the sample code already tested. Any comments are welcome!
The next step is to define the "delta xml schema" that will guide me to store the comparasion results. Do you have any suggestions?
Regards.
AG
public static boolean comparable(Element element1, Element element2)
     boolean returnValue=false;
     if (element1.getName()!=element2.getName()) {
          return returnValue;
} else {
          returnValue=true;
                    System.out.println ("place 2");
     List attributeList=element1.getAttributes();
     Iterator attributeIterator=attributeList.iterator();
     Attribute workingAttribute=null;
     while (attributeIterator.hasNext()) {
                         if (!workingAttribute.getValue().equals(
                         element2.getAttribute(workingAttribute.getName(), workingAttribute.getNamespace()).getValue()))
                              returnValue=false;
                              break;
     return returnValue;

Comparing two xml files in pl/sql

What is the best way to compare two 'complex' xml structures and return the difference using a plsql procedure/function. Example:
FUNCTION f_equals(XMLTYPE actualxml, XMLTYPE expectedxml) RETURN VARCHAR2
this should return 'EQUAL' if they are equal and the actual node with value if different..
Can somebody throw some ideas please?

The solution would depend on what you are trying to achieve, is it node to node comparison? overall file comparison? If there is any difference in either of the aforementioned approach, do what with the result?

Issue in Creation of XML file from ABAP data

Hi,
I need to create a XML file, but am not facing some issues in creation of XML file, the in the required format.
The required format is
-<Header1 1st field= u201CValueu201D 2nd field= u201CValueu201D>
   - <Header2 1st field= u201CValueu201D 2nd field= u201CValueu201Du2026u2026. Upto 10 fields>

      </Header2>
   </Header1>
Iu2019m using the call transformation to convert ABAP data to XML file.
So please anybody can help how to define XML structure in transaction XSLT_TOOL.
And one more thing, here I need to put the condition to display the Header 3, Header 4, Header 5 values. If there is no record for a particular line item in header 3, 4 & 5, I donu2019t want to display full line items; this is only for Header 3, 4 & 5.
Please help me in this to get it resolved.

Hello,
you can use CALL TRANSFORMATION id, which will create a exact "print" of the ABAP data into the XML.
If you need to change the structure of XML, you can alter your ABAP structure to match the requirements.
Of course you can create your own XSLT but that is not that easy to describe and nobody will do that for you around here. If you would like to start with XSLT, you´d better start the search.

"Build.xml file not exist"

Hey Guys,
i am currently involving in a servelet project (RendreX). i want to install apachi ant as a prerequirement. i am using windows 2003 server. I already downloded latest ant version and apache tomcat4.0. Also i have set all the class path,ANT-HOME(C:\ANT) and other relevent paths. But when i run ant command in the command prompt(C:\ANT>ant)will generate error state that "build.xml" file can't be found. Have i done any wrong thing here? Can anybody give a way that i can easily install apache ant on winows.
It would be greatly appriciated if u can send me some advice to over come this problem.
Best Regards
Mohan

build.xml is the default build file assumed by ant. You have to provide a build file to control what you expect from ant to do.

XML publisher report not generating output for huge XML files

Changed Depreciation Projections Report output type to XML.
Defined a Data Definition and a new Data Template (RTF) for this report.
Ran the Depreciation Projection Report to generate the XML output.
Ran the XML Report Publisher report to generate teh PDF/Excel output of the above report.
Output generated for smaller XML files. When XML size is big, the program is running for hours without generating the output.
Teh RTF template is basically a matrix report in which the number of columns in the report is based on the number of periods the report is run for.
The same is not working in the Desktop version also. The system is hanging when i try to view the preview pdf.
The XML file size is approximately 33 MB.
Please let me know if there is any way we can increase the memory size to see the output.
Thanks,

Have found multiple iTunes Library.xml files. Moved Library to new Hard Drive and it needs to be completely rebuilt?

Hello. I have a Mac Mini operating Mac OS X 10.7.2. I recently had to move my iTunes Library to a new hard drive. I followed the directions on how to move the library and refind everything yet when I do so what comes up is a mere skeleton of what I had. I have had to hunt down my purchased Apps, Music and Movies and re-add them to the library. I also noticed in doing this I have multiple iTunes Library.xml files ... shouldn't there only be one? If so how do I clean this up without doing any accidental damage (i.e. how do I find the one that is being used and delete the rest?)? If I delete the others is there any risk of losing purchased content? Lastly syncing my iPads has become a nightmare as I get the "This iPad is currently synced to another iTunes library" message. Obviously something

It's hard for me to picture the exact situation. It sounds like you still have your library file on the internal but some files on the external, and maybe some on the internal, some of which are in the library and others not... By re-adding things after consolidating it may have made things into a hodge-podge. Yes, that article you referenced says: "iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder"with Media Folder being the emphasis. You probably should have just moved your whole iTunes folder. Still, moving the media folder as instructed should not have messed up the library. Did you make the mistake of starting up iTunes before the external drive had mounted fully and it then told you it couldn't find many files? How you proceed to sort it out will depend upon how much time you want to spend and how important things such as ratings and playcount are to you. I have not actually used the consolidate feature across different drives myself (and don't feel inclined to do so here to test ).
If you are in the USA you can download some previous purhcases with iCloud, but not all.
Here's a bit on what an iTunes folder should look like:

Once you get iTunes working off the external drive it should just put new media to the external when you add it.
I have almost no experience with synching (I synched my neice's iPod, once, about 4 years ago).
