XML file in Unix Server

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement to use an XML File as a data source, and the XML is made available in the Unix server where the agent is running. In ODI on my Windows machine, testing the connection of the XML “Data Server”, I get a successful test connection, and a DTD is created on the working directory (whenever it is missing). This means that, I do have access to write files in the working directory of Unix server.
However, the problem is encountered when I reverse engineer the XML to retrieve the structure of the file (located in Unix server) and make it in a datastore. It seems that during the “Reverse Engineer” process, ODI is using the local agent rather than J2EE agent (Unix server) that I have, thus it can’t “see” file, thus the error message: "ODI-40844: Could not generate the DTD because the file could not be created. Verify that you have write permission in the directory."
Unfortunately, I am not able to customize the Reverse Engineering process to use J2EE agent as there is no out of the box ODI Reverse Knowledge Modules for XMLs. Creating the structure (Datastore) of the XML manually in ODI under XML Technology does not solve the problem either, because ODI still sees the Datastore as a FILE Technology and not an XML Technology (Error: ODI-40426: Url must start with jdbc:snps:dbfile).
Please advise on how to reverse engineer a remote xml file. TIA.

Hi,
What I have done in the past, and seems to work, is execute an Interface or Procedure in simulate mode, choosing the agent that you would like to use in reverse engineering the XML. Then, attempt to reverse engineer the file again. Not sure if this will work, but it has for me at times. You might also try this and restarting ODI to clear out anything 'cached' in the JVM.
It seems ODI is caching the agent that you are using - but I'm not sure how to properly change it.

  • FM to read XML files from Application server in ECC5.0

    Hi All,
    We need to pick up an XML file from Application server/FTP server. The requirement is to parse the XML file and process it to create material master. SAP provides standard function modules to read XML files.
    Now we need to read the XML file contents of MM01 and upload into SAP Data Base through BAPI
    I need to know about the Function modules to read XML files from Application Server and also about the FM's that will update the Date base tables with the data obtained form XML files.

  • XML data into Oracle Tables. XML file on Application Server.Oracle Apps R12

    Hi All,
    My Database version : 11.2.0.2.0
    I have an XML file which needs to be loaded into the Database Tables. How ever i do not want to use the XMLTYPE as given below
    insert into test1 (
    SELECT PrcDate, PmtType, PmtStatus, PmtTypeCount, PmtTypeAmt
    FROM XMLTABLE(
    '/WFPaymentAck/RejectedDom1ACH'
    PASSING XMLTYPE( BFILENAME('ECX_UTL_LOG_DIR_OBJ','wf_test_xml.XML'), NLS_CHARSET_ID('UTF8') )
    COLUMNS
    PrcDate VARCHAR2(2000) PATH '@PrcDate' ,
    PmtType VARCHAR2(2000) PATH '@PmtType' ,
    PmtStatus VARCHAR2(100) PATH '@PmtStatus' ,
    PmtTypeCount VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'PmtTypeCount' ,
    PmtTypeAmt VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'PmtTypeAmt'
    Because this way the XML file needs to reside on the DB server.
    I am looking into other option of loading the XML file into a CLOB column of a table and reading it from that column.
    I did a couple of tests and feel that this way also the XML file has to reside on the Database Server itself. I am not sure if this is correct or if there is any problem with our TEST instance.
    ++Can anyone let me know if i need to have the XML file on the DB server instead of the Application server to load into a CLOB column of table ??++
    ++Or++
    ++Is there any other workaround for me to load XML into Oracle Tables, while having the XML file on Application Server.++
    Your immediate help is appreciated. I need to get past this ASAP.
    Thanks in Advance.

    1) Are you asking me to create a folder on Database directory which points to a folder on the Apps server ?I suggest creating an Oracle directory object (a database object) pointing to a real location (folder) on Application server.
    we DONOT want a hand shake between the DB Server and the APPS server.I don't see where the problem is.
    I'm not familiar with Apps R12 but there's no doubt the two servers are already communicating, at least App server should be able to access the DB for the whole thing to run.
    As I said :
    One way or another, the data has to make its way to the database, there's no workaround to that.How do you imagine the data will end up in a database table if it doesn't come to the DB server?
    There's no magical method out there, both servers have to communicate at some point.
    About client-server approaches (client being here the App server), you can read about accessing the XML DB repository in the XML DB Developer's Guide : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e23094/toc.htm
    Other option : SQL*Loader can load a CLOB, or an XMLType column too

  • Xml file in application server

    Experts,
    I'm using a a simple tranformation and "open dataset" statement in order to write a xml file in application server: This is working fine.
    i notice that when i preview the file in transaction "AL11" , it shows like " <tag> <tag> <tag> <tag> ......
    The encoding of this file is 'utf-8'.
    I did another test that was writing, trouht transaction CG3Z, a xml file in encoding 'ISO-8859-15'. When a preview the file in AL11 is shows like :
    <tag>
    <tag>
    <tag>
    <tag>
    The change in the preview is due to the codification ? Or is regarding that way we write the file to the server ?
    Best regards,
    MR.

    Hello,
    Change is because of the encoding style changed from utf-8 to 'ISO-8859-15'.
    May be you can try changing this manualy in XML file and see the output result.
    Thanks,
    Augustin.

  • Reading XML file from application server and  put into internal table-4.6C

    Dear All,
    Is there any way of reading XML file from application server to SAP? I am using 4.6C. Function module SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING function module is not available. Please suggest.
    Thanks and regards,
    Atanu

    Hi Atanu!
    Simply use the XSLT transformation 'ID'.
    FIELD-SYMBOLS <ls_result> TYPE ANY.
    CREATE DATA lref_data TYPE (your_structure).
    ASSIGN lref_data->* TO <ls_result>.
    CALL TRANSFORMATION id
                        SOURCE XML xmlstr
                        RESULT result = <ls_result>.
    "xmlstr" contains your XML file. Just read it into it via standard I/O operations. "<ls_result>" will contain your DDIC formatted content.
    Best regards

    My aim is to read a XML file from application server and extract the relevant data from it and process further.
    When I am trying to read a XML file from application server it is reading success fully but the problem is that its not reading the last root structure of XML file why is so happening can any body help me?
    I am using the following code:
    TYPES: BEGIN OF xml_line,
    text(256) type x,
    END OF xml_line.
    DATA: e_file LIKE rlgrap-filename VALUE  'applcatin server path'
    OPEN DATASET e_file FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      DO.
        READ DATASET e_file INTO wa_item1-text.
        IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
          APPEND wa_item1 TO gt_item1 .
          CLEAR wa_item1.
        ELSE.
          EXIT.
        ENDIF.
      ENDDO.
    ENDIF.
    CLOSE DATASET e_file.
    after this i am passing this internal table to "cl_ixml" class to extract the data
    but it returning the itab with required value except the last record.
    The stream reading the file it self is i thought in complete thats why it is not converting the all values.
    Please  help me...
    Thanks a ton in advance.

    Hi,
    1 Copy Report BCCIIXMLT1
    2 (you can change the way of filling internal table xml_table if necessary)
    3 you don't need the part between
    *-- render the DOM back into an output stream/internal table
    and
    *-- print the whole DOM tree as a list...
    Comment it out or simply delete it
    4 Rename form print_node to your liking e.g. process_node
    5 In your new form you need three extra variables:
    data: attribs type ref to IF_IXML_NAMED_NODE_MAP,
          attrib_node type ref to IF_IXML_NODE,
          attrib_value type string.
    6 After the lines:
    when if_ixml_node=>co_node_element.
      string = pNode->get_name( ).
    Insert:
    attribs = pNode->get_attributes( ).
    clear attrib_value.
    case string.
      when ''. "put your XML tag name here
        attrib_node = attribs->get_named_item(name = '' ). "put your XML attribute name here
        attrib_value = attrib_node->get_value( ).

  • Read XML file from different server on JSP

    Dear All,
    I am a newbie to JSP with XML, now i want to read the "test.xml" from JSP.
    I read successfully this "test.xml" file from my system and I got output, but I need to read the xml file from
    different server like "http://www.domain.com/test.xml". I couldn't read such a type of file from different server.
    Is it possible to read a xml file from different server?
    If anybody have idea please let me know.
    Thanks in Advance,

    You might try:
    Document doc = docBuilder.parse ("http://www.domain.com/test.xml");Alternatively use the java.net package to obtain an Input Stream to the xml document
    InputStream in = methodThatYouWriteYourselfCalledgetInputStreamForURI("http://www.domain.com/test.xml");
    Document doc = docBuilder.parse (in);cheers,

    I would like to upload xml file from app. server but parser failed. If I upload this xml file from workstation (using ws_upload) it is correct. For uploading xml file from app. server I use open dataset... read dataset. In loop section I remove '#' char. How do You upload xml file from app server? What Could be incorrect.
    I try to open dataset in binary mode, text mode...
    TYPES: BEGIN OF xml_line,
            data(255) TYPE c,
          END OF xml_line.
    DATA: gt_xml_table TYPE TABLE OF xml_line,
