Xml file to csv.

Dear Friends,
Can anyone share blog to convert file from XML file to CSV.. which can handle multiple records.
my source structure is :
<ROOT>
     <HEADER>
           A1
           B1
      </HEADER>
      <ITEM>
           C1
           D1
       </ITEM>
</ROOT>
any inputs please ..
Thanks & Regards,
Suman

Parsing an XML file to a table

Hi,
I am looking at a scenario where right now we have a daily data feed that is an xml file that is approx between 1 to 2 GB in size. Using Java code, this file is parsed and one by one, the records are inserted into the DB (Oracle 10.2). But as the data feed is growing larger, so is the file size -- which is resulting in more time taken for this process to run.
I do realize that the ideal scenario would be to stop using the file as a source of feed. But this is beyond our control.
I looked at using sqlLoader but as I understand it requires a csv based file. In my case, I would have to convert the xml file to csv, which again might be a huge operation to be carried out daily. (Edit: Am I wrong? can we use Sql Loader here?)
Thus I am exploring options if there could be a way to write a PL/SQL procedure that would parse after taking this xml file as an input and load the data into a table. Any suggestions/directions will be hugely appreciated.
Thanks,
Ak
Edit:
I also browsed through a few questions asked previously here and I came across this: Import Large XML File to Table
My situation is similar and as per the suggestion here by A_Non, SECUREFILE BINARY XML storage can be used. But the problem I have is that I am on Oracle 10.2 while this option is only available in a later version, if I am right.

Thanks a lot for your reply Odie.
Exact Oracle version is Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
A couple of doubts here:
1. The file size would range 1-2 GB (and can go beyond) Is SQLLoader also an option feasible in this scenario?
2. The link you mentioned has this line: Storing the XML document in Oracle Database using Binary File (BFILE) -- How is this different from Binary XML in 11g? I am confused.
3. With respect to storage space usage, should we be concerned about the storage space/ memory that the operation of loading the file in this (temporary) table will take? Because right now, the xml feed file is residing in the webserver where java code iterates through it and inserts each record in the table. Now this will change and technically this file will have to go in the DB box.
We do not have the xsd for it as right now we retrieve a few selected tags from this xml, parse and store it in a table (columns mapped to tags). Below is the sample xml. This is one such record and there are thousands below it. I had to change things because of data confidentiality but it mimics the original.

How to extract data from an arbitrary xml file and export in a nice csv file?

Hallo,
I'm facing big problems in the use of XML files. I have an
application which generates XML files with clusters containing arrays
and scalars like in the example pasted below. My task is to
read it and export the data in a human-friendly CSV document.
Since I don't know the actual content of the cluster, I need some kind
of intelligent vi which goes through the XML file looking for arrays
and other data structures in order to export them properly in the CSV
format (columns with headers).
Thank you

Thank you again,
I'm forwarding my vi draft with many comments and an xml file sample.
Data in cluster is stored according to the LabVIEW schema, infact it is generated by LabVIEW.
What I'm trying to do is to access the element of the cluster and read their content using the Invoke node and Property node functions. Could you give it a look, there may be something wrong, I'm not able to access cluster children.
Which funcions should I use? Could you give me an example? You may use the draft I enclosed...
Then write these data in a csv file
should be the easier part.

Can I automate the creation of a cluster in LabView using the data structure created in an autogenerated .CSV, C header, or XML file?

Can I automate the creation of a cluster in LabView using the data structure created in an auto generated .CSV, C header, or XML file? I'm trying to take the data structure defined in one or more of those files listed and have LabView automatically create a cluster with identical structure and data types. (Ideally, I would like to do this with a C header file only.) Basically, I'm trying to avoid having to create the cluster by hand, as the number of cluster elements could be very large. I've looked into EasyXML and contacted the rep for the add-on. Unfortunately, this capability has not been created yet. Has anyone done something like this before? Thanks in advance for the help.

Is this something you're trying to do at runtime? Clusters are fixed data structures so you can't change them programmatically. Or, are you just trying to create some typedef cluster controls so that you can use them for coding? What would your clusters basically look like? Perhaps another way of holding the information like an array of variants?
You can try LabVIEW scripting, though be aware that this is not supported by NI.
Wow! Thanks for the quick response! We would use this cluster as a fixed data structure. No need to change the structure during runtime. The cluster would be a cluster of clusters with multiple levels. There would be not pattern as to how deep these levels would go, or how many elements would be in each. Here is the application. I would like to be able to autocode a Simulink model file into a DLL. The model DLL would accept a Simulink bus object of a certain data structure (bus of buses), pick out which elements of the bus is needed for the model calculation, and then pass the bus object. I then will take the DLL file and use the DLL VI block to pass a cluster into the DLL block (with identical structure as the bus in Simulink). To save time, I would like to auto generate the C header file using Simulink to define the bus structure and then have LabView read that header file and create the cluster automatically. Right now I can do everything but the auto creation of the cluster. I can manually build the cluster to match the Simulink model bus structure and it runs fine. But this is only for an example model with a small structure. Need to make the cluster creation automated so it can handle large structures with minimal brute force. Thanks!

Extracting data from a tag of xml file which is(xml) in a Field of Csv.

We have a xlm script which is stored in the clob column of the csv file. we have to extract one value from the <tag> and reject remaining data.
Sample:-
<ROW>
<ID>100</ID>
<ORDER_DATE>2000.12.20</ORDER_DATE>
<SHIPTO_NAME>Adrian Howard</SHIPTO_NAME>
<SHIPTO_STREET>500 Marine World Parkway</SHIPTO_STREET>
<SHIPTO_CITY>Redwood City</SHIPTO_CITY>
<SHIPTO_STATE>CA</SHIPTO_STATE>
<SHIPTO_ZIP>94065</SHIPTO_ZIP>
</ROW>
Required Output:-
We have to extract the "500 Marine World Parkway"
from tag <SHIPTO_STREET>
and the above sample xml file is in one of the column which is clob datatype
Any idea How to perform the above activity in PL/SQL ?

As BP suggested you can use an XPATH query to extract that information from your XML. However it depends a bit on your XML data.
Here are two examples:
one row XML
select extractvalue(xmltype('<ROW>
<ID>100</ID>
<ORDER_DATE>2000.12.20</ORDER_DATE>
<SHIPTO_NAME>Adrian Howard</SHIPTO_NAME>

<SHIPTO_ZIP>94065</SHIPTO_ZIP>
</ROW>')

Splitting of a CSV File with Multiple Records into Multiple XML File

Dear All,
<b> I am doing a Scenario of CSV to XML Files. I am using BPM for the same. My incoming CSV File has got multiple records. I want to break this Multiple records into Multiple XML Files having one record each.</b>
Can someone suggest how can I break this rather Split this into Multiple XML Files.
Is Multimapping absoltely necesaary for this. Can't we do this without Multimapping. Can we have some workaround in the FCC parameters that we use in the Integration Directory.
Kindly reply ASAP. Thanks a lot to all in anticipation.
Pls Help.
Best Regards
Chakra and Somnath

Dear All,
I am trying to do the Multimapping, and have 0....unbounded also. Someways it is not working.
<b>
Smitha please tell me one thing...Assigning the Recordsets per Message to 1, does it mean that it will write multiple XML Files as I want.</b>
Also I am usinf Set to Read only. So once the File is read it becomes RA from A. Then will it write the other Records.
I have to use a BPM because there are certain dependencies that are there for the entire Process Flow. I cannot do without a BPM.
Awaiting a reply. Thanks a lot in anticipation.

Filtering columns in a .csv file v .xml file

Hi everyone,
The following code fragment apparently creates a dataset from an xml file. The first line creates the dsStates dataset from an xml file called states.xm. The second line seems to be pulling in the list of cities into the dsCities dataset from the same xml file. I mean I assume this is what it's doing since it's accessing {dsStates::url} and then "/state/cities/city".
var dsStates = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("../../data/states/states.xml", "/states/state");
var dsCities = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("../../data/states/{dsStates::url}", "/state/cities/city");
My question is that since I'm not using xml as the source file for the dataset I'm creating but instead I'm using a .csv file, I'm wondering whether I can create two similar constructor functions like the above xml versions. I assumed that the first line would be as follows:
var dsTypes = new Spry.Data.CSVDataSet("data/types.csv");
This would bring in the data from a .csv file called "types.csv".
The question is though how would I access certain columns in this types.csv file so that I can filter them into the second dataset which would be called dsHospitals. I started off with the following line:
var dsHospitals = new Spry.Data.CSVDataSet("    ");
...but then since it's not xml is there are way to target these columns as it's done in the xml version. Or are there limitations with what I can do with a .csv file compared to xml files?
Would really appreciate any advice.

Thanks for the reply,
I've actually ended up using an xml file instead of a .csv due to the limitations.
I'm pulling in some xml files dynamically into a table and have based the code on the information at the following url:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/data_region/SpryPagedViewSample.html
My application is identical to the one in the above url except that instead of bringing in state and cities, I'm bringing in categories instead of the states and hospital names and addresses instead of the cities.
The example in the url uses an unordered list to display the names of the cities as in the following code:
<div spry:region="pvFacilities dsFacilities">
      <ul spry:repeatchildren="pvFacilities" spry:choose="choose">
            <li spry:when="{pvFacilities::ds_RowID} == {pvFacilities::ds_CurrentRowID}" spry:select="select" spry:selectgroup="page" spry:selected="selected" spry:hover="hover" spry:setrow="pvFacilities">{pvFacilities::name}</li>
            <li spry:default="default" spry:select="select" spry:selectgroup="page" spry:hover="hover" spry:setrow="pvFacilities">{pvFacilities::name}</li>
      </ul>
</div>
I needed to revise this since I'm not only displaying one item, ie. the city name as in the example, but instead I'll be displaying the full hospital details which would require that the information is inserted into a table. So I had to adapt the above code to work with a table and I came up with the following:
   <div id="privRegion" spry:region="pvFacilities dsFacilities">
<table id="private" cellspacing="0" summary="A list of private hospitals">
<caption>Private Hospitals </caption>
<thead>
<tr>
    <th id="name" scope="col"><a href="#">Name</a>
      </td>
    <th id="address" scope="col">Address</td>
    <th id="suburb" scope="col"><a href="#">Suburb</a>
      </td>
    <th scope="col">State
      </td>
    <th scope="col">Postcode</td>
    <th scope="col">Phone</td>
    <th scope="col">Fax</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr spry:repeatchildren="pvFacilities" spry:choose="choose">
    <td spry:when="{pvFacilities::ds_RowID} == {pvFacilities::ds_CurrentRowID}" spry:select="select" spry:selectgroup="page" spry:selected="selected" spry:hover="hover" spry:setrow="pvFacilities">{pvFacilities::Name}</td>
    <td spry:default="default" spry:select="select" spry:selectgroup="page" spry:hover="hover" spry:setrow="pvFacilities">{pvFacilities::Address}</td>
    <td spry:default="default" spry:select="select" spry:selectgroup="page" spry:hover="hover" spry:setrow="pvFacilities">{pvFacilities::Suburb}</td>
    <td spry:default="default" spry:select="select" spry:selectgroup="page" spry:hover="hover" spry:setrow="pvFacilities">{pvFacilities::State}</td>
    <td spry:default="default" spry:select="select" spry:selectgroup="page" spry:hover="hover" spry:setrow="pvFacilities">{pvFacilities::Postcode}</td>
    <td spry:default="default" spry:select="select" spry:selectgroup="page" spry:hover="hover" spry:setrow="pvFacilities">{pvFacilities::Phone}</td>
    <td spry:default="default" spry:select="select" spry:selectgroup="page" spry:hover="hover" spry:setrow="pvFacilities">{pvFacilities::Fax}</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
When I test though, it's only bringing in the first row and even then, it's only bringing in the hospital name and then 19 of the phone numbers from other hospitals! Not exactly what I was aiming for?
Are you able to take a look at the following url to see where I may have gone wrong?

Really appreciate any help/advice.

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

I'm attempting to write my first simple transformation to deserialize
an XML file into ABAP data structures and I have a few questions.
My simple transformation contains code like the following
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates"
              xmlns:pp="http://www.sap.com/abapxml/types/defined" >
<tt:type name="REPORT" line-type="?">
<tt:node name="COMPANY_ID" type="C" length="10" />
<tt:node name="JOB_ID" type="C" length="20" />
<tt:node name="TYPE_CSV" type="C" length="1" />
<tt:node name="TYPE_XLS" type="C" length="1" />
<tt:node name="TYPE_PDF" type="C" length="1" />
<tt:node name="IS_NEW" type="C" length="1" />
</tt:type>
<tt:root name="ROOT2" type="pp:REPORT" />
    <QueryResponse>
    <tt:loop ref="ROOT2" name="line">
      <QueryResponseRow>
        <CompanyID>
          <tt:value ref="$line.COMPANY_ID" />
        </CompanyID>
        <JobID>
          <tt:value ref="$line.JOB_ID" />
        </JobID>
        <ExportTypes>
          <tt:loop>
            <ExportType>
               I don't know what to do here (see item 3, below)
            </ExportType>
          </tt:loop>
        </ExportTypes>
        <IsNew>
          <tt:value ref="$line.IS_NEW"
          map="val(' ') = xml('false'), val('X') = xml('true')" />
        </IsNew>
      </QueryResponseRow>
      </tt:loop>
    </QueryResponse>
    </tt:loop>
1. In a DTD, an element can be designated as occurring zero or one
time, zero or more times, or one or more times. How do I write the
simple transformation to accommodate these possibilities?
2. In trying to accommodate the "zero or more times" case, I am trying
to use the <tt:loop> instruction. It occurs several layers deep in the
XML hierarchy, but at the top level of the ABAP table. The internal
table has a structure defined in the ABAP program, not in the data
dictionary. In the simple transformation, I used <tt:type> and
<tt:node> to define the structure of the internal table and then
tried to use <tt:loop ref="ROOT2" name="line"> around the subtree that
can occur zero or more times. But every variation I try seems to get
different errors. Can anyone supply a working example of this?
3. Among the fields in the internal table, I've defined three
one-character fields named TYPE_CSV, TYPE_XLS, and TYPE_PDF. In the
XML file, I expect zero to three elements of the form
<ExportType exporttype='csv' />
<ExportType exporttype='xls' />
<ExportType exporttype='pdf' />
I want to set field TYPE_CSV = 'X' if I find an ExportType element
with its exporttype attribute set to 'csv'. I want to set field
TYPE_XLS = 'X' if I find an ExportType element with its exporttype
attribute set to 'xls'. I want to set field TYPE_PDF = 'X' if I find
an ExportType element with its exporttype attribute set to 'pdf'. How
can I do that?
4. For an element that has a value like
<ErrorCode>123</ErrorCode>
in the simple transformation, the sequence
<ErrorCode> <tt:value ref="ROOT1.CODE" /> </ErrorCode>
seems to work just fine.
I have other situations where the XML reads
<IsNew value='true' />
I wanted to write
<IsNew>
        <tt:value ref="$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.
else.
    call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
      exporting
        bin_filesize = l_xml_size
        filename     = w_filename
        filetype     = 'BIN'
      changing
        data_tab     = l_xml_table
      exceptions

This is not a web service. I am working on dropping an XML file in an external FTP serveru2026 I have searched the forums but still in a confusion if weather Secure FTP is possible in ABAP or not when our company firewall is enabledu2026
If some one encountered this situation earlier please help,,,..any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot for your valuable suggestions Richu2026
I agree with you Rich that web services would be a better option. But I need to send this file to an external third party and they dont have web services.
They are telling us that either we can send them an XML file or a CSV file in the format that they want. We decided to go with XML file format.
I am done with formatting the Purchase Order details in the format that they want. Now the challenge is that I need to send this FTP file to them and it should be a Secure FTP when our fire wall is enabled,
When you say
1) Run an ABAP program to generate the XML file and put it on the local PC
2) Log into the FTP site via some FTP client, could simply be windows as well.
3) Manually cut/paste the file from the PC to the FTP site.
For Step 1 running ABAP Program can I schedule a batch job?
For Step 2 and Step 3 can I automate it in any other way..if not in ABAP?
Can I advice my company to follow any alternate method in which they can automate this step 2 and step 3u2026if not in ABAP can it be possible in any other way as the third party does not have web services I now have no other alternative.
Please Helpu2026

Unable to recreate replica as I cannot delete the xml files for the old VM on Hyper-v Cluster

My setup
There are 2 sites each running a Hyper-v 2012-R2 cluster comprising of 5 nodes each.
All the machines are in a HA state and stored on the shared clustered resource.
Initially we had replication working and it was replicating all the servers from Site A to Site B
There were some replication issues which needed me to stop the replication and redo it again, in doing so I firstly removed replication on Fail-over cluster manager on Site A and did the same on Site B.
On one of the servers I had to remove the VM, although the VM config and Disks still remain on the Site B Cluster.
I was trying to recreate the replica but it always fails with the following error :
Hyper-v failed to enable replication for virtual machine xxxxxxxx operation aborted (0x80004004).....
I followed an article to stop the Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management Service and try delete the file,
When i tried to stop the service it would restart automatically and I was unable to delete the file. I put the service in disabled which kept it stopped however I was still unable to delete the files. I also tried to get File assassin which can help delete
and clear locked files but it too was unable to delete it while the service was running or stopped as well as its additional mode whereby it will delete it on next reboot.
The Article Https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/4c4f2535-81ee-4a21-a920-b5632de2be37/hyperv-old-vm-folders-cannot-be-deleted?forum=winserverhyperv
makes mention of stopping another service Hyper-V
Image Management Service but I am unable to find it on 2012-R2 server.
I have also tried to put the additional nodes in a paused drained roles state leaving only one node as the active one but it still will not let me delete the VM config
files, without removing those files I cannot re-initiate the Replication.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Can you storage migrate any other vms or resources off of the CSV that contains the XML file in question? If so you may be able to then take that CSV offline, remove it from available storage, re-add as available storage, and add to CSV Volumes. Maybe
that will clear your lock.

How to load XML File to BW Delta Queue via Webpage

Hello altogether,
I am trying to load an CSV file via Webpage (the Webpage have to change the csv file in a xml/soap file) into BW Delta Queue.
Steps that I have made:
- Create an InfoSource
- Create an BW Data Source with Soap Connection
- Create an initial Delta without Data Transfer
- Create a Web Service with TC - SE37 - Utilities -> More Utilities -> Create Web Service
If I test the Web Service with TC - Soamanager (BW 7.0), the data entered here, are transferred to the BW Delta Queue.
If I test the function module ( TC - SE37), the data also transferred to the Delta Queue.
Now I think, that I have an error in the html file or the html file is not conform to the wsdl document?? Or should I have to create a virtual interface, but I don't find a possibility to creat it...???
Can you please help me????
The coding of the WSDL Document and the Website is attached (I can also send you the coding and error message via mail, if you want). Sorry I don't know how to display here the coding. I try it with symbol "click to display the text code", but afterwards I get an error message from the website... So let me please know your mail address and I send it via mail....
I hope, that somebody can help me!!!!!

Hello,
I have done all the necessary config in BW. However, as I mentioned earlier, we are still not up with XI so I am trying to load XML to BW delta queue. The question still remains, how do I make make the XML file (on my desktop say) point to the BW so the InfoPackage picks up and places in the delta queue? Even if I had XI, there has to be a way whereby BW looks for the XML file. That is what I want to know and stuck at.
Any detailed step by step help will be appreciated as always.
Cheers

How do I use an XML file to stream information to a Webapp?

I am trying to use XML generated by an event calander application to set it up with an image slider on the sites webpage. I need it to read in event info and use a picture so that the slider can show "Upcomming Events". It would have a picture, date and link to buying tickets from the ticketmaster page. I am pretty new to web apps and not sure how to set one up to utilize an XML data stream.

Hi,
You can't use XML to stream data into webapps, but if you convert the xml to a csv file for example, you could use the import function.
Kind Regards,
Alex

XML file from PL/SQL Executable Program

Hi all,
I have to solve this issue. I registered a concurrent program based on a PL/SQL Stored Procedure which extracts data in CSV format. The output is ok and ready to be imported in an excel worksheet and this is ok.
But, I wanted to create also an rtf template to associate to this concurrent, so the output is in more readable PDF format with table and clear formatting.
The problem is the publisher doesn't recognize the CSV datas and doesn't create the pdf. Is there any PL/SQL command to translate CSV to XML output? Thanks, Michele

Michele, I have a suggestion for you. It's not the exact solution you're looking for, but it may work for you.
I use Oracle Reports to create both XML data and CSV data. The output is a single formula field within the lowest level group that displays all of the data, delimited field by field. I define two concurrent programs based on this executable -- one with output format XML and one with output format Text. That way I can associate templates with the first program, and can use the second program to produce my CSV file which is ready for import to Excel.
You can either convert your PL/SQL stored procedure to Oracle Reports, or use a temporary table to store the data that the procedure is displaying, then call the procedure in an Oracle Reports trigger and select the data in the Data Model.
HTH.

Download created XML File in batch mode // Parse XML file into single lines

Hello!
I upload a CSV file and based on that CSV file I create an XML "object". First I uploaded and downloaded it via gui frontendclass, but as it has to be run in a batch in the night I need to upload and download the data via OPEN DATASET.
The import and transformation of the CSV file works fine, also the transfer into an itab with the same structure as a CSV line is ok. I also create the XML file, which could be downloaded easily with gui-download but it is not permittet.
Import of data: I scan the folder and get the filenames into a itab, I loop over that itab and read the single files like this:
     OPEN DATASET ls_convert_batch FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
      CLEAR tab.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        DO.
          READ DATASET ls_convert_batch INTO line.
          IF sy-subrc <> 0.
            EXIT.
          ELSE.
            CLEAR tmptab.
            SPLIT line AT ';' INTO tmptab-product
                                    tmptab-contract
                                    tmptab-extagent.
            APPEND tmptab TO tab.
          ENDIF.
        ENDDO.
      ENDIF.
The XML file has a strucutre like
<file>
- <file formant_no="1.1" format_date="02.10.2003">
<status>V</status>
<number>001001025</numbner>

     </detail>
- </details>
<elements>2</elements>
<amount_overall>270</amount_overall>
</file>
At the moment I download it like this:
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
        EXPORTING
          bin_filesize = l_xml_size
          filename     = filename
          filetype     = 'BIN'
*        CONFIRM_OVERWRITE = '0'
        CHANGING
          data_tab     = l_xml_table
        EXCEPTIONS
          OTHERS       = 24.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
        MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
                   WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
      ELSEIF sy-subrc = 0.
        lv_create_counter = lv_create_counter + 1.
      ENDIF.
But I need to download it via OPEN TRANSFER CLOSE Dataset as it has to run in batch mode.
Anyone has an idea? I am really desperate here. One idea would be to parse the single lines into a string and then create the XML file line by line as text and save it with ending XML, should work. But I don't know how!
Thank you very much in advance,
kind regards from Tallinn, Estonia,
Christof!
