Xml file read in a single line

HI All,
I have configured a scenario FILE-FILE to generate a XML file as output(input also xml file). It has created xml file successfully, and this file is transferred from ECC5.0 to 4.7. In 4.7 this xml file is read by a particular program in which it is reading the entire file as a single line. This means that its not detecting end of line.
How can I resolve this??
Plz suggest.
rgds,

Hi Satish,
If I understand, the program needs to read an xml file as a single line. If so, look at Michal weblog /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/06/28/xipi-faq-frequently-asked-questions
With this simple xslt program you can put a whole xml file into a string. If you also need the inverse, string to xml, looks at the Henrique Pinto reply on bottom of weblog
To use XSLT programs you have 2 options:
XSLT-ABAP Engine -> /people/r.eijpe/blog/2005/11/04/using-abap-xslt-extensions-for-xi-mapping
Or you can paste the xslt code in a txt file, zip the file and import it to XI as Imported Archives.
Hope it helps you
Ricardo.

Pages is sending my documents in docx format, but windows unable to open them. They arrive blank or can only be read as a single line at a time. When view prior to sending the document is divided with black lines after each sentence.

Pages is sending my documents in docx format, but windows unable to open them. They arrive blank or can only be read as a single line at a time. When viewed prior to sending, the document is divided with black lines after each sentence.

Windows will only be able to open these if you have Word 2007+. Older versions of Word, for example Word 2003 would require a compatibility pack.
Perhaps you can try 'Saving As' a different file type instead?

XML output - all tags in Single line?

Hi,
Scenario: HTTP----> XI --- > File(XML)/Proxy(abap).
Output XML file has the data in single line(all XML tags).
Now, issue with abap proxy which reads this XML file for sending attachment in email has length constraint(can not read if line length exceeds 255 chars).
Is there any option in XI, to print each pair of tags in each line(using carriage return or line feed?)
Please help.

Mallik,
I do not think that this can be achieved in XML to XML (unless you can create a specific module and add to the module tab)
But if you create say a CSV or TXT file and use the Content Conversion Parameters option
Here you can specify the fieldSeparator to be 'nl'
Input
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<record>
<field1>f1</field1>
<field2>f2</field2>
<field3>f3</field3>
</record>
Output
f1
f2
f3
Here you have retained your data and each field is separated by a new line. Unfortunatley with this method you lose your XML tags

DOM xml file, reading

I have an XML file I am parsing, or trying to parse. I can get the Document object but how do you traverse the elements?? It seems simple but the Node methods are somewhat vague in what they return, per the Javadoc. I've tried trial and error to much frustration and very little success...
is there an easy way to traverse the xml elements in a DOM Document object? I'm using the org.w3c package for most of what I'm doing...
I'm sure this is just a few lines of code but it's been driving me crazy.

from the document you would do,,
Element e = document.getDocumentElement();
From there you have two choices, you can navigate strictly via the tree with, calls of
Element child = e.getFirstChild();
while (child != null)
//do something
child = child.getNextSibling();
or you can collect all the Elements that have a certain tag, as in
NodeList list = e.getElementsByTagName( "MyElementName" );

XML File Read Process

Hi,
I have a requirement to read .xml file which has the following data in the file.
<WFPaymentAck>
<PmtID>500001</PmtID>
</WFPaymentAck>
I want to read the file and to access the data which is present in <PmtID> tag. i.e., 500001.
I tried couple of ways but I'm getting the following error when I try to access the data from Assign activity using "getVariable" method (for example: bpws:getVariableData('Receive_Read_InputVariable','body','/ns2:WFPaymentAck/ns2:PmtID')).
+Error in evaluate <from> expression at line "69". The result is empty for the XPath expression : "/ns2:WFPaymentAck/ns2:PmtID".+
Please brief me the steps to how to go about in doing this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Rolando,
Thanks for the response.
These are the steps I'm following.
1) Created a project.
2) Created a xsd schema using "XML Schema from XML Document"
XML Document has the following data
<WFPaymentAck>
<PmtID>500001</PmtID>
</WFPaymentAck>
3) It is creating the XSD as given below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns="http://www.example.org"
targetNamespace="http://www.example.org"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xsd:element name="WFPaymentAck">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="PmtID" type="xsd:integer"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
4) When I'm creating a file adapter I'm providing the URL of the XSD which was created above (step 3).
Here the targetNamespace is "http://www.example.org"
5) I'm creating a receive activity and trying to access the data but i'm not able to get the data.
Note: I could view the data in the receive activity (from EM console) but not able to access in assigne activity.
I did not get where exactly I need to use the Namespace (correctly).
Please suggest.
Thanks.

Parse XML file, read a tag with whitespaces value.

Hi all,
I've got a problem with reading a spaced value record from xml file using sys.xmltype.
My xml file contains the following:
<?xml version = '1.0'?>;
<ROWSET>
<ROW num="1">
<FIRSTNAME>Nik</FIRSTNAME>
<LASTNAME> </LASTNAME>
<AGE>30</AGE>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
As you see last name contains four spaces!
Now when I'm trying to read value from LASTNAME record I'm getting a NULL value, but I want it to return me those 4 spaces as they are.
Here is a short code description of what I'm doing:
declare
 xml sys.xmltype;
str1 varchar2(100);
str2 varchar2(100);
begin
 xml := sys.xmltype.createxml(fileContentClob); -- I copy the file content into the fileContentClob variable.
 If xml.existsnode('//ROW['1']/LASTNAME') > 0 Then -- This condition evaluates as true
str1 := xml.extract('//ROW['1']/LASTNAME/text()'); -- str1 gets NULL value :(, I want spaces as they are in the file.
str2 := xml.extract('//ROW[' || 1 || ']/LASTNAME').getstringval; -- str2 gets <LASTNAME/> null tag :(.
 End If;
end;
Seems like when it createxml from the fileContentClob it ignores the spaces and find LASTNAME as a null field.
Do you have any suggestions on how can I fix that, so I can read whitespaces as they are in the file?
I generate the file also using a xml toolpackage from oracle:
declare
strSqlStmt Varchar2(300);
varCtxHdl dbms_xmlquery.ctxhandle;
varClob Clob;
begin
strSqlStmt := 'SELECT FIRSTNAME,LASTNAME,AGE FROM USERS WHERE ROWNUM =1';
varCtxHdl := dbms_xmlquery.newcontext(strSqlStmt);
varClob := dbms_xmlquery.getxml(varCtxHdl);
dbms_xmlquery.closecontext(varCtxHdl);
End;

Even if the STORE AS CLOB clause is used to store the data and preserve whitespace for the XML, the actual extraction of data seems to be removing whitespace...

AS3 & XML file reading in

Is there a need to read a XMl file into an array or can you load an XML file and then call the information when its needed. EX. I have an xml file that I want to load in and then when the user clicks on a button they information that is requeted loads in from the xml file. So not all the information from the XML file is needed at the time of load. Is this possible or should I load it into an array?

Hope this will get you started:

Consolidate XML End Tag on a single line

By default, it seems JAXB puts the end tag on the second line. For example:
<w:Element w:prefix="c" w:name="Person" w:isReference="false">
</w:Element>
Is there any way to tell the Marshaller to put the end tag on the same line so the output would be:
<w:Element w:prefix="c" w:name="Person" w:isReference="false"/>

I use JAXP+Sax to generate XML files. Here a sample example:
import java.io.*;
// SAX classes.
import org.xml.sax.*;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.*;
//JAXP 1.1
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import javax.xml.transform.*;

// PrintWriter from a Servlet
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(out);
SAXTransformerFactory tf = (SAXTransformerFactory) SAXTransformerFactory.newInstance();
// SAX2.0 ContentHandler.
TransformerHandler hd = tf.newTransformerHandler();
Transformer serializer = hd.getTransformer();
serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING,"ISO-8859-1");
serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM,"users.dtd");
serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT,"false");/////////////////////// Not Indented XML File but has smaller size
hd.setResult(streamResult);
hd.startDocument();

// USERS tag.
hd.startElement("","","USERS",atts);
// USER tags.
String[] id = {"PWD122","MX787","A4Q45"};

String[] desc = {"Tim@Home","Jack&Moud","John D'o�"};
for (int i=0;i<id.length;i++)
atts.clear();
atts.addAttribute("","","ID","CDATA",id);
atts.addAttribute("","","TYPE","CDATA",type[i]);
hd.startElement("","","USER",atts);
hd.characters(desc[i].toCharArray(),0,desc[i].length());
hd.endElement("","","USER");
hd.endElement("","","USERS");
hd.endDocument();
This line: serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT,"false");/////////////////////// Not Indented XML File but has smaller size sets the identation of the xml file. See whether there is an equivalent with JAXB

Ways that come to mind (since I know nothing of your DB version or the real requirements behind the question) 
1) Use SQL*Loader to load directly into the table 
2) Read the file using UTL_FILE and INSERT that into the table 
3) Use an External Table to read the data in before doing an INSERT into the table 
4) DBMS_XMLPARSER.PARSE 
5) DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR 
I know more exists in 10g and 11g but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

PBDOM : Exporting to XML file gives a single line

I've been starting developing with PowerBuilder 12.5 a few weeks ago. I had to write some XML files, so I got familiar with the PBDOM library.
I can build a lot of different things, it's very nice, but one thing still bothers me :
In the output file, the whole XML is written on a single line.
I use the SaveDocument function.
For example, here is some code :
PBDOM_Document doc
PBDOM_Element noderoot, node1, node11, node12
doc = CREATE PBDOM_Document
doc.NewDocument("NodeRoot")
noderoot = doc.GetRootElement()
node1 = CREATE PBDOM_Element
node1.SetName("Node1")
noderoot.AddContent(node1)
node1.SetAttribute("Attr", "AttrValue")
node11 = CREATE PBDOM_Element
node11.SetName("Node11")
node11.AddContent("Here is a value")
node1.AddContent(node11)
node12 = CREATE PBDOM_ELEMENT
node12.SetName("Node12")
node12.AddContent("Here is another value")
node1.AddContent(node12)
doc.SaveDocument("myDoc.xml")
Here is the result when I open it with notepad++
<NodeRoot><Node1 Attr="AttrValue"><Node11>Here is a value</Node11><Node12>Here is another value</Node12></Node1></NodeRoot>
Whereas I wanted :
<NodeRoot> <Node1 Attr="AttrValue"> <Node11>Here is a value</Node11> <Node12>Here is another value</Node12> </Node1> </NodeRoot>
With the notepad++ XML tools plugin, I can use the "pretty print" function to get this nice representation. But I would like my file to be formatted this way from the beginning. I noticed that the "line ending" was set to UNIX format (indicator on bottom right of the window), but I'm working on Windows. When I use the menu to convert it to Windows format (CR+LF), it changes this indicator, but the code stays on one single line.
Is there a way to tell PBDOM to export the XML file with a nice output ?
Thank you !
Notes :
- Opening the XML file with Internet Explorer or Google Chrome gives me a nice vizualisation, with indentation, line breaks...
- Adding a <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> does not help (I've been doing it while exporting some more complex files, but I still get the output on one line...)

Here is a very simple powerbuilder example. It uses MSXML instead of PBDOM. See my comments for hints how to use it with PBDOM.
oleobject lole_dom, lole_root, lole_element1, lole_element11, lole_element12
oleobject lole_Writer, lole_saxreader
string ls_result
// build DOM (you don't need this if you use PBDOM)
lole_dom = create oleobject
lole_dom.ConnectToNewObject ("Msxml2.DOMDocument")
lole_root = lole_dom.CreateElement ("NodeRoot")
lole_dom.documentElement = lole_root
lole_element1 = lole_dom.CreateElement("Node1")
lole_root.AppendChild(lole_element1)
lole_element1.SetAttribute("Attr", "AttrValue")
lole_element11 = lole_dom.CreateElement("Node11")
lole_element11.AppendChild (lole_dom.CreateTextNode("Here is a value"))
lole_element1.AppendChild(lole_element11)
lole_element12 = lole_dom.CreateElement("Node12")
lole_element12.AppendChild (lole_dom.CreateTextNode("Here is another value"))
lole_element1.AppendChild(lole_element12)
// this saves the DOM without formatting
//lole_dom.save ("d:\testxml.xml")
// this part is for formating
lole_Writer = create oleobject
lole_saxreader = create oleobject
lole_Writer.ConnectToNewObject ("MSXML2.MXXMLWriter")
lole_saxreader.ConnectToNewObject ("MSXML2.SAXXMLReader")
lole_Writer.omitXMLDeclaration = True
lole_Writer.indent = True
lole_saxreader.contentHandler = lole_Writer
// instead of DOM you can also put a XML string to parser: lole_saxreader.parse ("<node>...</node>")
// so you can also use the PBDOM output directly
lole_saxreader.parse (lole_dom)
// here is your formatted output
ls_Result = lole_Writer.output
MessageBox ("", ls_result)

Regarding xml file sequence and sales order sequence not equal

Hi frnds,
 The XML File generates after sorting the line items, the sorting is done alphabetically on material master codes but the when the program converts the XML to Sales orders, the line item numbers does not matches with the line item of the XML File, like to understand how the XML conversion happens and is it possible to keep the same sequence of the XML file?

How to indicate the Schema path for a XML file when parsing?

I have to validate a XML file. At the header line of this file, I need to specificate only the name of the schema but not the full path:
<DATAMODULES xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="Datamodules.xsd">
When validating, there is any way to specify to the parser the correct location of the XSD file?
I know I could copy the XSD file to the XML file directory or vice versa, but I cannot do that and I need a software solution.
Could someone help me?

An External Parsed Entity could be used to reference a schema.
In your DTD:
<!ENTITY datamodules SYSTEM "file:///c:/Datamodules/Datamodules.xsd">
Refer the external entity in xml document:
<datamodules>&datamodules;</datamodules>
