XML files removal after processing

I'm new to the world of XML processing but have done extensive investigation on XSU processing to take an XML document and load the data into a Relational data base table. We are currently on Oracle 9i database but soon going to 10g.
We will be having an outside vendor send us XML files throughout the day into a Unix directory for processing(the directory would only be used for this process). The current plan is to have a job run every xx minutes via a Database job (DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT) to access the XML document from the Unix directory via BFILENAME and DBMS_LOB statements to retrieve the file and then to use DBMS_XMLSAVE.insertXML to load the data into a database table.
Sample program is listed below.
My questions are:
- Is there a way to copy the file after we have processed it by appending a date time stamp to it and then removing the original from the Unix directory from a PL/SQL procedure so as to not process the same file?
- How would I know that multiple files exist in the directory at once and how best to process them?
Thanks for any help you can give.
Tom
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SAMPLE PROGRAM:
Create or replace procedure LOAD_XML as
v_table VARCHAR2(20) := 'XMLDATA.xml';
v_file BFILE;
v_row INTEGER;
v_insCTX DBMS_XMLSAVE.ctxTYPE;
v_clob CLOB;
BEGIN
v_file:= BFILENAME('XML_DIRECTORY'. v_table);
DBMS_LOB.open(v_file);
DBMS_LOB.createtemporary(v_clob, true, dbms_lob.session);
DBMS_LOB.loadfromfile(v_clob, v_file, dbms.log.getlength(v_file));
DBMS_LOB.fclose(v_file);
v_insCTX := DBMS_XMLSAVE.newContext('XML_DB_TABLE'');
DBMS_XMLSAVE.SetIgnoreCase(v_insCTX, 1);
DBMS_XMLSAVE.SetCommitBatch(v_insCTX, 1);
DBMS_XMLSAVE.SetBatchSize(v_insCTX, 1);
v_row := DBMS_XMLSAVE.insertXML(v_insCTX,v_table);
DBMS_XMLSAVE.closeContext(v_insCTX);
end;

As a follow up for all those reading this and wanting to know the answer, I ended up using UTL_FILE.FREMOVE and UTL_FILE.FCOPY. You could also use UTL_FILE_FRENAME.

Converting Dom Document object into XML file removes the DTD

Hi All
My xml is dtd. I have one xml file. i changed the node value after that i want to create a xml file with the same name. I created new xml file but i am not seeing the old dtd in the new file. This process is done with the help of jaxp.
My code is given below
File fileInput = new File("input.xml");
          File fileOutput = new File("output.xml");
          DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
          factory.setExpandEntityReferences(false);
          DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
          Document document = builder.parse(fileInput);
          TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
          Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer();
transformer.setOutputProperty(javax.xml.transform.OutputKeys.INDENT, "true");
          transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "2");
          DOMSource source = new DOMSource(document);
          FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(fileOutput);
          StreamResult result = new StreamResult(fos);
          transformer.transform(source, result);
Thanks in advance

The Transformer API does not guarantee the preservation of that information. You may want to check the DOM L3 Load/Save package (http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/index.html). Alternatively, you may force things by setting the additional output properties 'doctype-public' and 'doctype-system'.

XML file conversion after sender file content conversion

Hi,
I have issue refarding file content conversion.
My input structure is
<MT_RCICrecords>
<TRNH>
<RCIC>
<RECH>
<RECL>
<RCIC>
<TRNH>
Afetr sender File content conversion (csv to xml) it produces xml file as below (since file conversion does not support 3rd level of hierarchy)
<TRNH>
<RECH>
</RECH>
<RECL>
</RECL>
</TRNH>
It does not recognize RCIC.
Now i am trying to map this to IDOC and getting error as
'MT_RCICRecords tag found instead of IDOC BEGIN ='.
CAn anyone suggest me how to chaage this xml output after File content conversion to add RCIC tag in xml file?
I am new to XI so please give me some sample code to.
Thanks.
Yashpal
Its urgent!

My problem is xml generated from content conversion is like below
<MT_RCICrecords>
<TRNH></TRNH>
<RECH></RECH>
<RECL></RECL>
<TRLR></TRLR>
</MT_RCICrecords>
and i want it to be
<MT_RCICrecords>
<TRNH></TRNH>
<RCIC>
<RECH></RECH>
<RECL></RECL>
</RCIC>
<TRLR></TRLR>
</MT_RCICrecords>
which is not happening
My input message structure is
MT_RCICrecords

RCIC
RECH
RECL
i hope it is clear now

Hi Rshmi,
use this UDF i hope it will work fine,
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
     .getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
String a=conf.get(key);
int inc = 1;
Integer seqNo = (Integer) container.getParameter("seqNo");
if(seqNo == null || seqNo ==999){

Config.xml file missing after using pack/unpack (WebLogic 12c)

Hi,
When I use the utilities pack/unpack to "copy" a domain from one physical server to another one, I end up with the config directory where there is no config.xml file while on the source physical there is of course this file.
If I use the scp command (I work under Linux) to "copy" the domain I do not encounter problem and I can start the Node Manager and the WebLogic server.
Did someone faced this situation?
How did you solved it? Or, is there something that I am missing?
Kind Regards.

Hi all!
I am having the same problem with WebLogic Workshop 8.1 SP4.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

File removal after Archive and Install.

So I reinstalled OS X.
Now I have the previous system files in a nice little folder.
In my current applications folder all my old applications are there, ready to use.
In the archived OS the applications are there too, is it okay to delete these or will they delete the ones in the current application folder? I didn't move them over from the archive, they was already there.
When I started to delete them it said a lot of the files were still in use.
Am I free to delete all the files in the archive or do I need to drag them over to the correct current folders?
Thanks.

Deromi:
As Carolyn said, it ok to delete any and everything in the Previous Systems folder. Indeed, you can just drag the entire folder to the Trash and empty. If you want to be cautious, just in case sort of thing, you can save the Users folder or your Home folder on an external or removable disk before deleting.

[BPEL Designer] "Link" a no-XML file to the process

Hi people,
In my study case, a user have to upload a file (Excel file for example) via a portlet in a user task. The file have to be send to his boss for approvement. The boss have to open the file - with his software - , read it, and after approve or not in his "user task".
But how to model this in Oracle BPEL Designer ? I don't see anything in "user task" element.
Thanks for help :-)

Hai
What u've said is correct. I can't send anything other than sring in response. To send it from servlet, i hope i have to use ServletOutputStream.
Like ServletOutputStream sos = response.getOutputStream;
sos.print(" Text from Servlet");
This is how i am coding to send data from servlet to client. Is this correct.
Thanks for ur response,
Pooja.

Looking for a way to move a rejected xml file after loading it

Hi all,
I'm currently looking for a solution to do the following:
I've loaded multiple xml files into an external table and after firing a few queries on that external table, I've moved the xml data into a normal oracle table
depending on a few values which need to be met (e.g. last two digits of column a need to be the same as the last two digits of column b)
All of this works fine, but I'd like to be able to move the xml files which don't meet these requirements to another folder on the filesystem named e.g. 'rejected'
now, my shell script just moves all the xml files to a processed folder after loading them into an external table.
I've looked at utl_file.frename but I need to be able to automatically move more than one file if neccesary instead of filling in one filename in the frename statement.
(maybe the filenames need to be entered into a separate table?)
Thanks in advance and your help is much appreciated!

Junk Characters in the output XML file after Parsing

Hi
I am using DOM parser to parse an XML file.
After parsing the input XML file, i am fetching some contents
from the same and also putting the same contents in the parsed output file which is also an XML file.
The problem here is that the after putting the contents to the output XML file from the input XML file,
some junk character appears at the end of each and every tag in the outputfile.
The junk character is some thing like this : " ampersand hash thirteen and a semicolon "
(*THE MESSAGE DID NOT ACCEPT THE SYMBOLS KINDLY TRANSLATE THE ABOVE WORDINGS*
INTO SYMBOLS)
This character gets appended at the end of each and every tag in the output file due to which the output file
is not recognised as an XML file.
Please let me know as to why is this character appearing and also please suggest some solution
for the same.
-Thanks in Advance.

Can you use an XML file to make Subclips for you?

Hi everyone,
I know this is a bit of a long-shot, but I am wondering if I can use an XML file(made after logging a few tapes, but before capture) to make subclips for me?
Basically I have a painful project with 2 tapes i had to capture separately as 1 long individual clip each due to time-code breaks, but as i did first Log & Capture as usual (only to later find it wouldn't batch capture) i didn't want my hard work to go to waste!
Hope I explained that clearly enough,
Adam
Message was edited by: Chocboy

I'm assuming you captured using the non-controllable device setting and have the clip including TC breaks and blank areas etc.
Try this:
Load the clip into the Viewer and play it. Press M to set markers wherever you want them.
If you want to give the marker a more decriptive name, press M a second time whilst the playhead is positioned on the marker. A dialog will open with text input fields. Or, click the marker in the Browser, then click the marker’s name to select it. You can now change the name.
Drag in the Browser to select all the markers or click the first one, then shift click the last one.
Choose Modify > Make Subclip. This will make all the subclips in one go and if you gave your markers new names, your subclips will use them.
The subclips appear in addition to the original clip with the markers. You can rename the subclips, if you want. You can review the subclips, deleting any clips you might not need. If you do remove unused clips, you can use the Media Manager to remove your unused footage from disk, leaving the media for your remaining subclips alone.

Xml file with DTD in jar file

Dear all,
I developed an application using NetBeans which lets you create XML files.
The process of creating the new XML file, set the attribute Doctype of these files to the DTD (fileXML.dtd) present in the build / classes / Dtd that is loaded during implementation through:
URL url=ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().getResource("Dtd/fileXML.dtd");so the attribute Doctype XML files created will have the location of the DTD fileXML.dtd:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE AGSet SYSTEM "file:/F:/Documents%20and%20Settings/ioXp/Desktop/mioProgramma/build/classes/Dtd/fileXML.dtd">
Well. After completing the development of the program, I created the executable miaApplicazione.jar (in which he was pulled inside your full Buil, including build / dtd) by the option of NetBeans "Build Main Project."
Double-clicking the file miaApplicazione.jar the program runs properly.
The problem now is that when I create the XML file by mioProgramma.jar, they will refer to this DTD within miaApplicazione.jar and consequently when trying to open these files XML message appears:
Protocol specified unknown. Error processing resource "jar:file:/F:/Documents%20and%20Settings/ioXP/...
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE AGSet SYSTEM "jar:file:/F:/Documents%20and%20Settings/ioXp/Desktop/miaApplicazione/...
What is the solution for this problem?

Does anyone have a good server.xml file for tomcat?

I am trying to link apache and tomcat on a RedHat 9 computer. I previously posted a message stating that I could not get tomcat to "automagically" make the configuration files (mod_jk.conf-auto) that all the manuals promised it would. However, I found that my problem was the lack of an ApacheConfig tag in the server.xml file. After looking at my server.xml file, I found that it was much more simplistic than I would hoped = it did not have enough comments or commented out options. It had none of the directives that the manuals said it included by default.
In short, does anyone who has apache and tomcat linked have a server.xml file that I can look at so that I can figure out what I must add to mine to get tomcat working with apache? I would greatly appreciate it if you could copy and paste the whole thing here.
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi!
I am having the Apache-Tomcat4.0 version installed on a Win2000 machine. I am pasting here my server.xml. Hope it will be useful to you. I even didnot do much modifications to my server.xml except for adding a context.

Java and XML :: Unlocking, editing and locking an XML file using JAVA

I need to develop a form with Address field , When i enter address information and submit the form it needs to generate an
XML file for furthur processing.
Now my problem is :
When i want to edit the address....after submitting the form by entering the address information, it should unlock
the XML and edit the XML and then lock it.
How can i achive programatically, unlocking an XML file, editing the file, and locking it?.
Thanks,
Maruthi.

There's a FileLock class, you know, in the java.nio.channels package. However before you start using it you should read its API documentation carefully including statements like " Whether or not a lock actually prevents another program from accessing the content of the locked region is system-dependent and therefore unspecified".
Personally I would say that if you need to synchronize access to this XML file, you should consider changing your design to use something that supports locking a bit better, like a database. Or by writing a server that encapsulates the XML file and accepts requests to read it and update it, serializing those requests appropriately.

Catching a not well formed xml file

I have a method that parses many xml files and after each one is processed they are entered into a mysql database. My problem is that when an xml file is found not to be well formed the input process into the mysql database stops.
Thus, my question is: how do I get my program to stop trying to enter the failing file data into my mysql database and continue with the next one...at the same time that it tells me the name of the file that is causing the problem (this second part has been solved). My parsing method looks as follows:
private Document parseXmlFile(String _filename, boolean _validating){
          try{
               DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
               factory.setValidating(_validating);
               Document doc = factory.newDocumentBuilder().parse(new File(_filename));
               return doc;
          } catch(SAXException e){
               System.out.println("Bad XML");
          catch(ParserConfigurationException parserconfigurationexception){
          catch(IOException ioexception){
               System.out.println("Could not read source file: " + ioexception.getMessage());
          return null;
     }then, the method that calls for this method and the xml data extraction method (which also works) is as follows:
private void addFile(String _xmlPath){
          Document xmlFile = parseXmlFile(_xmlPath, false);
          addMyDoc(xmlFile);
     }

Thanks! that worked like a charm. I have one more question though. I know my program works because I have tested it every step of the way. However, I never contemplated that it could fail because of the a memory error. The program crashes randomly with a certain number of documents.
My program is suppose to handle about 3,000 documents at a time. And it does, if I break it up the parsing from the mysql input. If I place both pieces together, I get the following error that I don't even know how to begin to fix or diagnose (I am using eclipse for lack of experience running java on the command line):
