XML format problem

Dear all,
I am generating a XML file in AS400 FTP directory, XML file is generated correctly when I open in IE it opens with all the taggs in new lines but when I open it in notepad or editor all contents are coming in One line.
Is there any way I can get the Content same as it displayed in IE browser. is there any option available in File adapter?
NO File content conversion is used in File.
Chirag

its from File adapter simple one to one graphical mapping is used.
also when I open the file in notepad with wrap option the structure is not coming in vertical format instead it is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><ns1:MT_PurchaseOrderDetailDB_EDI xmlns:ns1="urn:Ducati-EDI:PurchaseOrderDetail"><RecordSet><FileEmpty>N</FileEmpty><FileType>U_ORDERS</FileType><FileCreated>20091211 093908</FileCreated><FileCompany>DUCATI MOTORS</FileCompany><Header><id_order_header>5500000011 00010</id_order_header><id_network>DUCATI_MOTOR</id_network><id_supplier>IT02451420968</id_supplier><id_ordertype>LPA</id_ordertype><IssueDate>20090706</IssueDate><OrderNumber>5500000011-00010</OrderNumber><DeliveryLocation/><FaxOrder>038/ 616110</FaxOrder><IssuerType>803</IssuerType><IssuerDescription>SGORBATI ALB.

Sax xml format problem

I must parse an xml file(quite large) and there is an "<" character inside of an attribute name (instead of "& lt").
Of course it appears an SAXParseException and the program stops; the attribute name is not important for me (for example I could ignore < ), but I want that the program to continue to parse.
Which is the best way to solve this problem?
thanks, liviu

XML parsers will not parse documents unless they are well-formed XML.
Your document is not well-formed XML.
Therefore it follows that you must fix the document. Contact the person who sent it to you and tell them not to send you garbage any more.

actually I want to creat a new SOAPMessage for the very beginning like this:
try{
            MessageFactory mf = MessageFactory.newInstance();
            SOAPMessage msg = mf.createMessage();
            SOAPPart sp = msg.getSOAPPart();
            //create the header container
            SOAPEnvelope se = sp.getEnvelope();
            SOAPHeader sh = se.getHeader();
            SOAPBody sb = se.getBody();
        }catch(Throwable e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }and I want to get the empty header from this newly created SOAPEnvelop and add my own content into the header as well as the empty body.
I wrote the code by following the example from the jaxm api.
can anybody tell me any further information about the NullPointerException?

We are getting the expected Structure when we AS2 Receiver has the xml format. But while doing module development with the strctxml2Plain, we are getting the below error in RWB CC Monitoring.
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.trans.TransformException: Error converting Message: 'java.lang.Exception: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'java.lang.NullPointerException''; nested exception caused by: java.lang.Exception: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'java.lang.NullPointerException'
Any ideas, why this error we are getting.....
Thanks in advance,

Hi Vasu,
Not in the Mapping of IR.
In BIC Mapping Designer you have to test with the standard Mappings by providing the sample file whether the Conversion is happening correctly or not.
You have to take the same input file that what ever you are having now.
So that it will say clearly what is the problem in converting the XMLto the required EDI Format...
Check whether you have any Date Format Values are comming from the input file.

Attempt to process file failed with Exception in XML Parser-format problem

Hi all,
Iam getting an unusual error in the J2EE stack in XI.
And the message is:
006-11-30 17:31:07 Error Attempt to process file failed with Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.NestedSAXParserException: Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: Invalid char #0xf(:main:, row:1, col:1044002)(:main:, row=1, col=1044002) -> com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: Invalid char #0xf(:main:, row:1, col:1044002)' 2006-11-30 17:31:07 Error Exception caught by adapter framework: null 2006-11-30 17:31:07 Error Delivery of the message to the application using connection AFW failed, due to: RecoverableException.
My scenerio iam posting IDOC to a flat file with content conversion in the receiver side,the mapping got executed successfully and in the audit log i found that the error was after the 'Start converting XML document content to plain text'.
This means that error occured during content conversion of XML to the prescribed file format.
Can anyone suggest any better approach using which we may trace the junk data in IDoc. Manual adhoc approach could take time and is error prone.
Thanks in advance...

Hi Bhavesh,
Thanks for the early reply. I checked the mapping and everything is fine and the output is also in valid XML format.
The audit log shows that the mapping got executed successfully and the error is after the step 'Start converting XML document content to plain text '. Is there any constraint in the file adapter regarding the message size for parsing.

Concurrent request submission displays Output in xml format ?

Hi ,
I am submitting a concurrent request from workflow which is an xml publisher report . my problem when the program is run individually it displays the output correctly in rtf format but when the same request is submitted from worklfow the output comes in xml format ?
What could be the problem ?
I am using the standard submission "FND_WF_STANDARD.SUBMITCONCPROGRAM " program and assigning the values directly to it . the submission activity is working fine but the output comes as mentioned above.
Regards,
Skg

Kiran ,
I am not using fnd_request.submit request coc I don't need to capture the user information for my workflow .
I am only using the standard " FND_WF_STANDARD.SUBMITCONCPROGRAM " . this Package only submits the concurrent program through workflow in a function.
no need of backend programming.
My job is to submit and move to the next function . the output will be determined via custom profile option.
now, for this package I am directly assigning the values like appshort name , prog shrt name , and parameter.
there is no mention of layouts anywhere in the standard workflow package .
its very urgent for me friend.
Regards,
Shashank.

hi,,,
it seems OS package version conflict
Please check glibc and openmotif version (its responsible for reports)
and
Set the environment variable MALLOC_CHECK_=0 and bounce the Concurrent Managers
MALLOC_CHECK_ can be changed in two places :-
1. Add this to the $APPL_TOP/custom<TWO_TASK>_<HOSTNAME>.env
MALLOC_CHECK_=0
Then restart the concurrent managers and retest
2. Change it in the adovars.env file
Again bounce the concurrent managers and retest

Convert PDF to XML Format . Can´t get it working :(

Hi everybody,
I am a Rocky in Acrobat Scriptingand I need some helpd to convert a PDF file into an XML format using the build in javascript console.
The only thing I got so far is:
this.saveAs("/e/test.xml","com.adobe.acrobat.xml-1-00")
I got this information from the refrence guide, but I did not find an accurate example. Can you lend me a hand ? If you find a solution can you also explain me the different sections of the code because I still want to learn something besides using the copy and paste option.
Thank you very much:

Conversion of Minitab to xMII XML format

Hi,
how to convert minitab file into xml format. i tried possibilities but facing problems. i tried for two psiibilities.
1) i imported minitab file(.mtw) into BLS text loader. then i added flat file parser then StringList to XML parser. but it doesnt show correct xml output. it shows each row as single item.
2) I saved minitab file as text file by applying comma seperator. then i opened that file in BLS. this file having column names but in BLS it consider each item as single row. for example if i have 2x2 rows / columns means, BLS consider it as 4 rows and take column name also as row.

Download internal table in XML format

Hi experts,
I want to download an internal table into an XML format.
How can I achieve this?
I have used the GUI_DOWNLOAD earlier for XLS purpose, will that work in this case too?
Thanks,
Ajay.

Hi Ajay,
You can use the below format
DATA : gs_xml TYPE lvc_t_fccl.
(Fill lt_Table here)
    TRY.
        CALL TRANSFORMATION id SOURCE root = lt_Table
             RESULT XML gs_xml.
      CATCH cx_st_error.
ENDTRY.
Then Call GUI_DOWNLOAD, passing gs_XML as data_tab and filetype = BIN
Note : GUI_DOWNLOAD will not work in background.
Hope this solves your problem

Can't you PREVIEW your question before posting? Here you have more than 2500 characters, so we can't read your code.
Your "problem" seems normal to me (you shouldn't open an XML file with Notepad). Could you give an example how it looks like and how you'd like to make it appear?

Can we generate the output of SQL Query in XML format ..

Hi Team,
Can we generate an XML doc for an SQL Query.
I've seen in SQL Server 2000.It is generating the output of an SQL Query in xml format.
select * from emp for xml auto
The output looks like
<emp EMPNO="7369" ENAME="SMITH" JOB="CLERK" MGR="7902" HIREDATE="1980-12-17T00:00:00" SAL="2800" DEPTNO="20"/><emp EMPNO="7370" ENAME="SMITH" JOB="CLERK" MGR="7902" HIREDATE="1980-12-17T00:00:00" SAL="2800" DEPTNO="10"/>

Just a little bit of short hand.
Get the XML out of your database, via HTTP
Of course the easiest method is just to return an XMLType from a stored procedure and let the calling routine figure out what to do with it. Instead
of that way though, I'll show you how to do it via HTTP. It's all completely built into 10g and is super easy to use.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW emps_and_depts AS
SELECT e.employee_id AS "EmployeeId",
e.last_name AS "Name",
e.job_id AS "Job",
e.manager_id AS "Manager",
e.hire_date AS "HireDate",
e.salary AS "Salary",
e.commission_pct AS "Commission",
XMLFOREST (
d.department_id AS "DeptNo",
d.department_name AS "DeptName",
d.location_id AS "Location"
) AS "Dept"
FROM employees e, departments d
WHERE e.department_id = d.department_id
Some people hear web and immediately start salivating about security issues. Let me address that quickly. Just because you have the HTTP and/or
FTP servers running in the database, that does not mean you have a security problem. For one, I would hope your databases are behind a firewall.
Second, with the correct architecture (DMZ, app servers, etc) you can make this data available outside the firewall fairly transparently and third,
just because it's on the web does not mean the data MUST be available on the internet. This is a good way to make your data available on your
intranet. If you are worried about people INSIDE your firewall, that still doesn't preclude web based access. Follow Oracle security guidelines.
Before I show you how to get to your data, let's talk about URLs and URIs. A URL is a Uniform Resource Locater and URI is a Uniform Resource
Identifier. A URL is the way you would identify a document on the net, i.e. http://www.oracle.com is a URL. A URI is a more generic form of a URL.
Oracle supports three types of URI: HTTPURIType - basically a URL (which would be like the URL above), XDURIType - a pointer to an XDB resource
(usually an XML document but can be other objects), and DBURIType - a pointer to database objects.
It's the DBURIType that we're going to concentrate on here. The DBURIType let's us reference database objects using a file/folder paradigm. The
format for a DBURI is /oradb/<schema>/<table>. Oradb is shorthand for the database; it is not the database name or SID. My database is named XE
but I still use oradb in the DBURI. For example, the view we created above is in my XE database, is owned by HR (at least in my case) and is called
EMPS_AND_DEPTS. This can be referenced as /oradb/HR/EMPS_AND_DEPTS.
If the view had many rows and you wanted only one of them, you can restrict it by including a predicate. The documentation for XDB has a great
write up on Using DBURIs.In our case, we are going to write out the entire document. Now that you understand that the DBURI is a pointer to
objects in our instance, we can use that to access the data as a URL.
The format for the URL call is http://<machinename>:<port>/<DBURI>
In my case, my XE database is running on a machine called mach1 and is listening on port 8080. So to see the view we created above, I open my
browser and navigate to: http//mach1:8080/oradb/HR/EMPS_AND_DEPTS
The created URL will be as http//mach1:8080/oradb/PUBLIC/EMPS_AND_DEPTS
If your database is set up correctly and listening on port 8080 (the default), your browser should ask you to login. Login as the user who created the
view (in my case HR). You should now get an XML document displayed in your browser.
And that's it. It doesn't get much simpler than that. If you get rid of the descriptive text above, it basically comes down to:
Create a table or view
Open your web browser
Enter a URL
Enter a user ID and password
View your XML
If you notice, Oracle formatted the data as XML for us. Our view returns scalar columns and an XML fragment called Dept. Oracle formatted the
return results into an XML format.
And as a side note, if you look closely, you'll see that my URL has PUBLIC where I said to put HR. PUBLIC is a synonym for all objects that your
logged in user can see. That way, if your user has been granted select access on many schemas, you can use PUBLIC and see any of them.

Error in outputting xml formatted data

Hello,
I'm trying to output xml formatted data using apex.
At about 70% into the formatted output I get this in the browser:
<descript>punct= & > < /,() &</descript>
</row>
- <row The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
Only one top level element is allowed in an XML document. Error processing resource 'http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=158...
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
-^
m">>
<DIVI have a 600 row table (dml below) with identical string in each row of the descript column. (I put in some special characters just to push it through the escape function for html. It is displaying the text correctly.)
The page has one report region (plsql below).
The page template is stripped down.
My local results are identical to the otn hosted workspace.
I did dump the table in xml format and displayed the dump file in browser without a problem, so I'm missing something in the code.
Thank you.

Deliver a report in XML format and save it to local file system on the server

We have OBIEE 10.1.3.4 on Redhat linux. We want to have generate a report in XML format and saved it to the server's file system. Did not realize this is s difficult task. Basically
1) How to create a XML report? It is not listed in the output items of a layout template.
2) How to deliver XML the report to local file system. Look into the Delivery section of Admin page. FTP should be the best choice, but does that means that one need to install and run ftp server on the BI server box?
Thanks

Hi,
Since I still have problems on this subject, I would like to share on how it progresses.
Currently I have a problem of timeout in step "Truncate XML Schema" with the URL that I mentioned above.
The exact error is the following : 7000 : null : com.sunopsis.sql.l: Oracle Data Integrator TimeOut : connection with URL [...]
The connection test is still OK.
I tried to increase the value in the user's pref but there's no change.
