Non UTF-8 xml file by Email channel

Hi there,
I am sending an US-ASCII xml file content to B2B receiver. b2b does not identify the doc and gives doc identification error. The issue is the encoding is not mentioned in the xml.
It works if i send it as UTF-8 or specify the encoding in the xml file (<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII" ?>)
My que is:
Is it possible for b2b to read an us-ascii xml file over email channel, and identify the associated custom document when the encoding is not configured in the xml file. ?
Is changing the tip.properties as racle.tip.adapter.b2b.encoding = Characterset Name will work? Also wondering where is tip.prop file in 11g?
Can you help me with a solution for this?
Thanks
Ganesh

Hello Ganesh,
Is it possible for b2b to read an us-ascii xml file over email channel, and identify the associated custom document when the encoding is not configured in the xml file. ?If file is UTF-8 encoded then without encoding configuration in XML b2b should be able to accept and identify the document.
Is changing the tip.properties as oracle.tip.adapter.b2b.encoding = Characterset Name will work? Also wondering where is tip.prop file in 11g?tip.properties file is used in Oracle B2B 10g. In 11g, there is no such file. Few of the properties are part of the product in 11g and rest of them can be set using B2B system parameters in Administration --> Configuration tab. Few properties can also be set using fusion middleware control. Please refer -

Hi,
I am user iPad and I do not know how can attach a file into email e.g. CV.
Thanks

You attach files within the app that creates the file or within the app that the file is saved. For example you email photos from within the Photos App itself. Typically there will be an action icon within the app - an arrow icon many times - you tap on that to bring other options like Share - then Email.
Attachments must be mailed within the apps themselves.

How to merge many XML files into one?

Hi: I got a small project to combine many XML files into one and convert the combined XML file in Excel using AppleScript. My XML files look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Metadataobject>
    <from>[email protected]</from>
    <jobname>B3_IM09MBDUF</jobname>
    <pages>2</pages>
    <priority>3</priority>
    <timezone>CEST</timezone>
    <year>2013</year>
    <month>7</month>
    <day>15</day>
    <hour>11</hour>
</Metadataobject>
and like this...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Metadataobject>
    <from>[email protected]</from>
    <jobname>P1_FR1330G006007_Kate_van der Vaart</jobname>

    <year>2013</year>
    <month>7</month>
    <day>12</day>
    <hour>16</hour>
</Metadataobject>
I get many XML files like this. And I want them to be combined and shown like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Metadataobject>
    <job id="1">
    <from>[email protected]</from>
    <jobname>B3_IM09MBDUF</jobname>

    </job>
    <job id="1">

    <month>7</month>
    <day>12</day>
    <hour>16</hour>
    </job>
</Metadataobject>
And finally the combined XML file converts in Excel sheet with column headings "Job ID", "From", "Job Name" and so on...
Or there is another best way to get the same result...
Thanks

That is just an intermediary state to get to the excel version. Actually I get many small XML files (as shown above) from client and I want them all combined in an excel sheet with common column headings... like this...
from
jobname
pages
priority
timezone
year
month
day

Loading XML files into an 8.0.6 database...

Hi,
I've got an Oracle 8.0.6 instance (Sun E250 Solaris 5.7) with multiple import data feeds. I am currently using SQL*Loader to load this data which are flat text delimited files. My data feeds will soon be supplying XML files instead of these flat files which is great, unfortunately, I will not be able to upgrade in 8.1.7 in time so that I can use the XML parser.
Is there anyway I can use SQL*Loader or some other tool to load XML files into my 8.0.6 database? If there is a way, could someone please send the information I would need to help perform this task?
Thanks for all your help...

Check out the Oracle XDB Developer's Guide, Chapter 3. There is an example of using BFileName function to load the xml files from a directory object created using create or replace directory. It works really well.

"PLS-00172: string literal too long" When Writing XML file into a Table

Hi.
I'm using DBMS_XMLStore to get a XML file into a db table. See the example below, I'm using that for my PL/SQL format. Problem is that because there're too many XML elements that I use in "xmldoc CLOB:= ...", I get "PLS-00172: string literal too long" error.
Can someone suggest a workaround?
THANKS!!!
DECLARE
insCtx DBMS_XMLStore.ctxType;
rows NUMBER;
xmldoc CLOB :=
'<ROWSET>
<ROW num="1">
<EMPNO>7369</EMPNO>
<SAL>1800</SAL>
<HIREDATE>27-AUG-1996</HIREDATE>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<EMPNO>2290</EMPNO>
<SAL>2000</SAL>
<HIREDATE>31-DEC-1992</HIREDATE>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>';
BEGIN
insCtx := DBMS_XMLStore.newContext('scott.emp'); -- get saved context
DBMS_XMLStore.clearUpdateColumnList(insCtx); -- clear the update settings
-- set the columns to be updated as a list of values
DBMS_XMLStore.setUpdateColumn(insCtx,'EMPNO');
DBMS_XMLStore.setUpdateColumn(insCtx,'SAL');
DBMS_XMLStore.setUpdatecolumn(insCtx,'HIREDATE');
-- Now insert the doc.
-- This will only insert into EMPNO, SAL and HIREDATE columns
rows := DBMS_XMLStore.insertXML(insCtx, xmlDoc);
-- Close the context
DBMS_XMLStore.closeContext(insCtx);
END;
/

You ask where am getting the XML doc. Well, am not
getting the doc itself.I either don't understand or I disagree. In your sample code, you're certainly creating an XML document-- your local variable "xmldoc" is an XML document.
DBMS_XMLSTORE package needs
to know the canonical format and that's what I
hardcoded. Again, I either don't understand or I disagree... DBMS_XMLStore more or less assumes the format of the XML document itself-- there's a ROWSET tag, a ROW tag, and a then whatever column tags you'd like. You can override what tag identifies a row, but the rest is pretty much assumed. Your calls to setUpdateColumn identifies what subset of column tags in the XML document you're interested in.
Later in code I use
DBMS_XMLStore.setUpdateColumn to specify which
columns are to be inserted.Agreed.
xmldoc CLOB :=
'<ROWSET>
<ROW num="1">
<KEY_OLD> Smoker </KEY_OLD>
<KEY_NEW> 3 </KEY_NEW>
<TRANSFORM> Specified </TRANSFORM>
<KEY_OLD> Smoker </KEY_OLD>
<VALUEOLD> -1 </VALUEOLD>
EW> -1 </VALUENEW>
<DESCRIPTION> NA </DESCRIPTION>
</ROW>
ROWSET>';This is your XML document. You almost certainly want to be reading this from the file system and/or have it passed in from another procedure. If you hard-code the XML document, you're limited to a 32k string literal, which is almost certainly causing the error you were reporting initially.
As am writing this I'm realizing that I'm doing this
wrong, because I do need to read the XML file from
the filesystem (but insert the columns
selectively)...What I need to come up with is a proc
that would grab the XML file and do inserts into a
relational table. The XML file will change in the
future and that means that all my 'canonical format'
code will be broken. How do I deal with anticipated
change? Do I need to define/create an XML schema in
10g if am just inserting into one relat. table from
one XML file?What does "The XML file will change in the future" mean? Are you saying that the structure of the XML document will change? Or that the data in the XML document would change? Your code should only need to change if the structure of the document changes, which should be exceptionally uncommon and would only be an issue if you're adding another column that you want to work with, which would necessitate code changes.
I found an article where the issue of changing XML
file is dealt by using a XSL file (that's where I'd
define the 'canonical format'), but am having a
problem with creating one, because the source XML is
screwed up in terms of the format:
it's not <x> blah </x>
<x2> blah </x2>
x2="blah" x3="blah> ...etc
Can you point me in the right direction, please?You can certainly use something like the DBMS_XSLProcessor package to transform whatever XML document you have into an XML document in an appropriate format for the XMLStore package and pass that transformed XML document into something like your sample procedure rather than defining the xmldoc local variable with a hard-coded document. Of course, you'd need to write appropriate XSL code to do the actual transform.

Load data from XML files into BI

Hi All,
Can any one guide me through the steps which involve in loading data from XML files into BI?
Thanks
Santosh

Hi James,
I have followed upto step No: 12 .
Please could you let me know how to link the XML file on my local drive to BI,
I am not able to find figure out where to specify the path of the XML file to be loaded into BI.
Thanks In Advance
Regards,
San
1. Create a Infosource(ZIS), with transfer structure in accordance with the structure in the XML file. (You can open the XML file with MS Excel.This way you can get to know the structure).
2. Activate the transfer rules.
3. After activation ;from the Menu Bar , Select Extras>Create BW Datasource with SOAP connection.
4.Now Activate the Infosurce again, this creates an XML based Datasource(6AXXX...)
5.These steps would create two sub nodes under the Infosource(ZIS).
6.Select Myself system and create a data package and execute it run in Init mode(without Data Transfer).
7. This would create an entry in RSA7(BW delta Queue)
8. Again create another Delta Infopackage under it, and run it. Now the Datasource(6AXXXXXX..) would turn green in RSA7.
9.In Function builder(SE37) select your FM( do a search ,F4, on the datasource 6AXXX....) .
10.Inside this RFC based FM , from the Menu Bar select Utilities>more Utilities>Create Web services>From Function module.
11.A wizard will guide you through the next steps .
12.once this is done a Web serrvice would be enabled in WSADMIN. Select your FM and execute it.
13.From here you can upload the data from XML file into BW delta queue.

Simple Transformation to deserialize an XML file into ABAP data structures?

1. In a DTD, an element can be designated as occurring zero or one
time, zero or more times, or one or more times. How do I write the
simple transformation to accommodate these possibilities?
2. In trying to accommodate the "zero or more times" case, I am trying
to use the <tt:loop> instruction. It occurs several layers deep in the
XML hierarchy, but at the top level of the ABAP table. The internal
table has a structure defined in the ABAP program, not in the data
dictionary. In the simple transformation, I used <tt:type> and
<tt:node> to define the structure of the internal table and then
tried to use <tt:loop ref="ROOT2" name="line"> around the subtree that
can occur zero or more times. But every variation I try seems to get
different errors. Can anyone supply a working example of this?
3. Among the fields in the internal table, I've defined three
one-character fields named TYPE_CSV, TYPE_XLS, and TYPE_PDF. In the
XML file, I expect zero to three elements of the form
<ExportType exporttype='csv' />
<ExportType exporttype='xls' />
<ExportType exporttype='pdf' />
I want to set field TYPE_CSV = 'X' if I find an ExportType element
with its exporttype attribute set to 'csv'. I want to set field
TYPE_XLS = 'X' if I find an ExportType element with its exporttype
attribute set to 'xls'. I want to set field TYPE_PDF = 'X' if I find
an ExportType element with its exporttype attribute set to 'pdf'. How
can I do that?
4. For an element that has a value like
<ErrorCode>123</ErrorCode>
in the simple transformation, the sequence
<ErrorCode> <tt:value ref="ROOT1.CODE" /> </ErrorCode>
seems to work just fine.
I have other situations where the XML reads
<IsNew value='true' />
I wanted to write
<IsNew>
        <tt:value ref="$line.IS_NEW"
        map="val(' ') = xml('false'), val('X') = xml('true')" />
       </IsNew>
but I'm afraid that the <tt:value> fails to deal with the fact that in
the XML file the value is being passed as the value of an attribute
(named "value"), rather than the value of the element itself. How do
you handle this?

Try this code below:
data l_xml_table2 type table of xml_line with header line.
W_filename - This is a Path.
if w_filename(02) = '
    open dataset w_filename for output in binary mode.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
      l_xml_table2[] = l_xml_table[].
      loop at l_xml_table2.
        transfer l_xml_table2 to w_filename.
      endloop.
    endif.
    close dataset w_filename.

      changing
        data_tab     = l_xml_table

How to Import XML file into SAP B1

Dear All,
I have a scenario like,
I am receiving a XML file from a 3rd party application for the daily Creation,Update of Item Master,BP Master, Marketing Documents. I want to import this file into SAP B1 through its approp objects. I understand DTW has limitation in its file types (Semicolo,Tab,Comma,ODBC). How do i do this ? Please guide me.
Thanks,
Thanga Raj K

Hy folks,
I´m frim Brasil and I've been studying the tool EFM (Eletronic File Manager) to learn more about it!
There I saw that we can extract to XML "any" infomation from the database we want, mainly through the GEP.
However, as I've seen, this Add-On can not import any XML file into SBO, unless for the BFP wich can be imported in conjunction with the BTHF Add-on.
So I ask: how is it possible to import XML data into SBO database? Is it possible to be done through the EFM? or it´s really necessary to write a code specifically to do that?
Besides, I know that de B1iSN fit to this necessity... but when I tried to use it, by the custom "object" for BP, for example, there are some data wich the mapping conteined in this custom "process" that can not be imported... I tried to understand how to map those other fields not imported by the custom but this has been dificult to me as I am a implementation consultant focused in administrative process not on development...
Could you please help me with this subject!
Thanks a lot,
Denis

How to retrieve data from xml file into obiee reports

Hi all,
I've got a situation here. A xml file is stored as blob in oracle database table. Now i need to retrieve data/info from that xml file into obiee reports. How am i supposed to proceed with this ?

I will go for a table function:
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/database/oracle/table_function
In two words, you can create a function that behave as a table. Then you create a function to pick up your xml, you parse it and you send back the rows.
I know that Oracle has also a library for XML files but I never use it until now.
Success

Not a perfectly framed question. How do you want to load the XML file? Hoping you want to parse the xml file and load it into a table you can do this.
This is the xml file
karthick% cat emp_details.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<EMPNO>7782</EMPNO>
<ENAME>CLARK</ENAME>
<JOB>MANAGER</JOB>
<MGR>7839</MGR>
<HIREDATE>09-JUN-1981</HIREDATE>
<SAL>2450</SAL>
<COM>0</COM>
<DEPTNO>10</DEPTNO>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<EMPNO>7839</EMPNO>
<ENAME>KING</ENAME>
<JOB>PRESIDENT</JOB>
<HIREDATE>17-NOV-1981</HIREDATE>
<SAL>5000</SAL>
<COM>0</COM>
<DEPTNO>10</DEPTNO>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
You can write a query like this.
SQL> select *
2    from xmltable
3         (
4            '/ROWSET/ROW' passing xmltype
5            (

How to load a XML file into a table

Hi,
I've been working on Oracle for many years but for the first time I was asked to load a XML file into a table.
As an example, I've found this on the web, but it doesn't work
Can someone tell me why? I hoped this example could help me.
the file acct.xml is this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
<HEADER>
<STATUS_CODE>100</STATUS_CODE>
<STATUS_REMARKS>check</STATUS_REMARKS>
</HEADER>
<DETAILS>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>2</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>3</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic administration</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>4</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic finance</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>5</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic logistics</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
</DETAILS>
<HEADER>
<STATUS_CODE>500</STATUS_CODE>
<STATUS_REMARKS>process exception</STATUS_REMARKS>
</HEADER>
<DETAILS>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>20</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS> base polytechnic</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>30</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>40</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS> base polytechnic finance</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>50</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS> base polytechnic logistics</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
</DETAILS>
</ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
For the two tags HEADER and DETAILS I have the table:
create table xxrp_acct_details(
status_code number,
status_remarks varchar2(100),
segment_number number,
remarks varchar2(100)
before I've created a
create directory test_dir as 'c:\esterno'; -- where I have my acct.xml
and after, can you give me a script for loading data by using XMLTABLE?
I've tried this but it doesn't work:
DECLARE
acct_doc xmltype := xmltype( bfilename('TEST_DIR','acct.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8') );
BEGIN
insert into xxrp_acct_details (status_code, status_remarks, segment_number, remarks)
select x1.status_code,
        x1.status_remarks,
        x2.segment_number,
        x2.remarks
from xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
passing acct_doc
columns header_no      for ordinality,
          status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
          status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
) x1,
xmltable(
'$d/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS[$hn]/DETAIL'
passing acct_doc as "d",
          x1.header_no as "hn"
columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
          remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS'
) x2
END;
This should allow me to get something like this:
select * from xxrp_acct_details;
Statuscode status remarks segement remarks
100 check 2 rp polytechnic
100 check 3 rp polytechnic administration
100 check 4 rp polytechnic finance
100 check 5 rp polytechnic logistics
500 process exception 20 base polytechnic
500 process exception 30
500 process exception 40 base polytechnic finance
500 process exception 50 base polytechnic logistics
but I get:
Error report:
ORA-06550: line 19, column 11:
PL/SQL: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got NUMBER
ORA-06550: line 4, column 2:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
06550. 00000 - "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
*Cause:    Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
and if I try to change the script without using the column HEADER_NO to keep track of the header rank inside the document:
DECLARE
acct_doc xmltype := xmltype( bfilename('TEST_DIR','acct.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8') );
BEGIN
insert into xxrp_acct_details (status_code, status_remarks, segment_number, remarks)
select x1.status_code,
        x1.status_remarks,
        x2.segment_number,
        x2.remarks
from xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
passing acct_doc
columns status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
          status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
) x1,
xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS'
passing acct_doc
columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
          remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS'
) x2
END;
I get this message:
Error report:

My oracle version is 10gR2 Express Edition
I do need a script for loading xml files into a table as soon as possible, Give me please a simple example for understanding and that works on 10gR2 Express Edition
Thanks in advance!

The reason your first SQL statement
select x1.status_code,
        x1.status_remarks,
        x2.segment_number,
        x2.remarks
from xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
passing acct_doc
columns header_no      for ordinality,
          status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
          status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
) x1,
xmltable(
'$d/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS[$hn]/DETAIL'
passing acct_doc as "d",
          x1.header_no as "hn"
columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
          remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS'
) x2
returns the error you noticed
PL/SQL: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got NUMBER
is because Oracle is expecting XML to be passed in. At the moment I forget if it requires a certain format or not, but it is simply expecting the value to be wrapped in simple XML.
Your query actually runs as is on 11.1 as Oracle changed how that functionality worked when 11.1 was released. Your query runs slowly, but it does run.
As you are dealing with groups, is there any way the input XML can be modified to be like
<ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
<ACCOUNT_GROUP>
<HEADER>....</HEADER>
<DETAILS>....</DETAILS>
</ACCOUNT_GROUP>
<ACCOUNT_GROUP>
<HEADER>....</HEADER>
<DETAILS>....</DETAILS>
</ACCOUNT_GROUP>
</ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
so that it is easier to associate a HEADER/DETAILS combination? If so, it would make parsing the XML much easier.
Assuming the answer is no, here is one hack to accomplish your goal
select x1.status_code,
        x1.status_remarks,
        x3.segment_number,
        x3.remarks
from xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
passing acct_doc
columns header_no      for ordinality,
          status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
          status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
) x1,
xmltable(
'$d/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS'
passing acct_doc as "d",
columns detail_no      for ordinality,
          detail_xml     xmltype       path 'DETAIL'
) x2,
xmltable(
'DETAIL'
passing x2.detail_xml
columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
          remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS') x3
WHERE x1.header_no = x2.detail_no;
This follows the approach you started with. Table x1 creates a row for each HEADER node and table x2 creates a row for each DETAILS node. It assumes there is always a one and only one association between the two. I use table x3, which is joined to x2, to parse the many DETAIL nodes. The WHERE clause then joins each header row to the corresponding details row and produces the eight rows you are seeking.
There is another approach that I know of, and that would be using XQuery within the XMLTable. It should require using only one XMLTable but I would have to spend some time coming up with that solution and I can't recall whether restrictions exist in 10gR2 Express Edition compared to what can run in 10.2 Enterprise Edition for XQuery.
