SQL Loader - Junk characters

Hi ALl
This may not be exactly a SQL Loader problem.
I have a XCEL file which I convert to Tab delimited file
before using SQL Loader to load the records.
But the XCEL file has some junk characters. So when I save it as tab delimited format the junk character is replaced by a new line. So SQL Loader treats it as next record and it fails
If I save it as comma delimited, I face another problem. There is a description field which has commas in it.
For eg. "XYZ Corporation, Phoenix"
So SQL Loader treats "Phoenix" as a next field. Again it fails.
Please can you help me on this.
Thanks
Ashwin N.

I entered the phrase 'XYZ Corporation, Phoenix' in a cell (in Microsoft Excel 2002) and used the command 'Save as' from the menu 'File' to save the file as of type 'csv'.
When I opened the file in notepad I could see the enclosed double quotes. You could save the file the same way.
After that, use the method suggested by Al Glick in your Sql*Loader control file.
fields terminated by ","
optionally enclosed by '"'

Junk characters in data transfer Program

Hello ABAP gurus,
i am facing the problem in an custmom made ABAP Interface program. the program has an option of downloading the files in local system(Windows system) and in Unix system (AL11). when i dwnload the files locally and feed that file to a CRM system, the CRM processes the file correctly but in case if we schedule a job then the CRM reads the file from Unix system and generates an error showing the junk characters for the special european characters. please request you guys to help me in this regard.

Hi,
When you download the file locally are able to see the junk character in the file.
Logon on to the unix system and check the file content there and if any junk characters are there, usually when we upload the file then you will have those junk character being populated at the end of the record, open the file in unix and then remove those characters and reprocess that again, it will get through.
Thanks,
Mahesh.

Actually this is the right forum to be in
There are a few steps you need to do to configure BPEL with XML Gateway. This is what you did in 11i, may have changed for R12
Here are the steps to setup BPEL output
1. Choose responsibility 'XML Gateway' from left panel.
2. From right panel choose 'Define Lookup Values' . Oracle forms application would open up.
3. On XML Gateway Lookups form , press F11.
4. In 'Type' field enter 'COMM_METHOD'(without quotes.
5. Press CTRL+F11 . Form would fill from already present look ups. We are going to create new Lookup Value.
6. On new row create look up as (Values without quotes) :
- Code = 'BPEL'
- Meaning = 'BPEL'
- Description = 'Used for Apps Adapter Integration using BPEL'
- Check 'Enabled' checkbox.
7. Save form from File--> Save from menu bar. you can close this form.
8. XML Gateway Navigator form would be presented.
9. From right panel choose 'Define Trading Partners' .
10. On Trading Partner Setup form , press F11 .
11. In field 'Trading Partner Type' enter 'Supplier (without quotes).
12. In field 'Trading Partner Name' enter ‘VENDOR-1' (without quotes).
13. Go to Trading partner details and create new transaction as (Values without quotes)
- Connection/Hub = 'DIRECT'
- Protocol Type = 'BPEL'
- Protocol Address = 'http://appsadapter.sample.com'

Creating a Web Service to handle flow between BPEL process and XML Gateway

I am new to Web Services. I have never created one, yet I have the task of designing the following for a project.
Any help as to what steps I need to take would be very very helpful. There is a lot of information on XML, SOA and WSDL out there that it can get very confusing, and sometimes you just need someone to point the way
What I need to do is create a Custom Send and a Custom Receive Program (both web services) handle the message flow between an Enterprise BPEL processes and a Deployed XML Gateway.
BPEL compresses this XML business object document (for faster transmission), and sends remotely to this Custom Receive web service, which in turn calls a decompress java program and then send the document to the XML gateway inbound web service.
The Custom Send web service does just the opposite. It needs to take the business object document from XML gateway, call the compress java program and then send to the Enterprise BPEL.
In a nutshell...these Custom Send/Receive Web services handle the message flow between the Enterprise BPEL process and the Deployed XML Gateway.
What I need help on...
-Creating this in JDeveloper- where do I get started?
-How does a web service receive a compressed file sent to me via BPEL? Does it just sit there waiting for it?
-Is this a synchronous or asynchronous design?
-Will this be 2 web services (Send and Receive) or do I make 1 with 2 functionalities
-How do I call the java compress/decompress program within the web service? (this java function is already created and ready to be called)
-Is this decompressed business object file an XML schema and an XML message? Or just a message?
-I need to send this to the XML Gateway Web Service to load. How does that work?
-I have a Generic XML Gateway WSDL file...I assume I need to take all the info I get and map it to this template? Is this true? How do I do that?
Like I said, any help would be appreciated. Links answers to my many questions would be fabulous.

If you are talking about simple XML transformation of the SOAP payload between the client calling your service and the final destination of the message you are routing, the ESB approach may be a better fit.
If you have more complex transformation in mind, with major processing and rework of the message in the intermediary, you may be better of with using the POJO approach. Write your service and embed a callout to the other service in your implementation. If the two services share the same Java Model, you may even be able to re-use the same Java Bean.
To get SOAP Element instead of Java bean, you just need to use the noDataBinding option with either genProxy and topDownAssemble (or assemble). See the WS-Guide [1] for details. Chapter 18 will give you all the details about the different WSA command line parameters.
Hope this helps,

Hi,
there's no direct support for the format triggers out of Oracle Reports. Therefore they are mentioned in the log file and in the created layout after conversion the objects with format triggers are colored red to show, that there you had to do some additional work.
Currently you had to built the logic of format triggers in BI Publisher new. Hve a look in the User Guide, there are some examples for if or choose statements.

How to use XML Gateway for Order Import and Item Import?

Hello XML gurus,
I'm working in Oracle Apps area and do not have much knowledge on XML or web programming. Currently in my project there is a need to use Order Import and Item Import using interface tables and XML Gateway. The items/orders information will be in the XML format from Siebel system, there will be no custom processing...just process the data as-is.
I've read the XML Gateway user guide but did not understand much.
Anyone with similar implementation experience?
I'm looking for a step-by-step guide on what needs to be done in Oracle Apps side to populate the interface tables from XML file and call the import APIs?
Your inputs, suggestions, tips are highly appreciated. :)
Thx,
Jags

I have a similar requirement to automate the order import and was looking at XML Gateway. Please update if you were able to find more information.

Chinese Characters in Spool converted to Junk characters in PDF

Hi,
I have spool generated from Script , the Spool shows me Chinese Characters.When I am trying to convert the Spool to PDF using Program RSTXPDFT4 , the PDF contains Junk Characters instead of Chinese Characters.Please let me know how to get the correct Chinese Characters in PDF.
Regards,
Swathi

Hi,
For the spool you try to convert to PDF, which device type was this spool created by. It must be created via a Chinese device type like e.g. CNSAPWIN. The form used to create the spool must have language key ZH. The fonts used in the form for the Chinese characters must be a Chinese font like CNSONG or CNHEI.
Alternatively, if you create the spool via Unicode deviec type SWINCF, then the font and the form language are not important. It should work to convert the spool to PDF regardless of the language ley or font used in the form.
Regards,
Aidan

XML Gateway outbound from BPEL

We are trying to get the data from EBS using BPEL Process through XML Gateway outbound.
We created XML Gateway DTD and Map and successfully posting to ECX_OUTBOUND and other sysyems(WebMethods).
Now we are trying access it from BPEL. We created Receive activity to get the XML Payload from ECX_OUTBOUND. But Process is struck in receive activity. Receive activity is waiting for response.
I am not sure we may be doing some thing wrong. Please help us.

I have created screen-shots to show that.
Receive
Variable
Port
I have also tried adding header variable to receive activity in xml but it's not working
<receive name="Receive_1" createInstance="yes"
variable="Receive_1_Dequeue_InputVariable_1"
partnerLink="ECX_OUTBOUND" portType="ns1:Dequeue_ptt"
operation="Dequeue" bpelx:headerVariable="Variable_1"/>
Thanks for your help
Pawel
What's more: When I change port type operation input message to Header_msg i gets the message to my Variable_1 of type Header_msg but data loaded to it is in format of this PROCESS_PO_007_msg
I've found in documentation:
Supporting for Normalized Message Properties
To effectively set applications context values required in a BPEL process or to populate
mandatory header variables for XML Gateway inbound transactions to complete
successfully, Adapter for Oracle Applications provides a flexible mechanism that allows
each context value and header variable to be set and passed in the adapter user interface
directly through the Invoke activity. This message normalization feature not only
provides a flexible solution on header support, but also simplifies the design-time tasks
without using an Assign activity to pass header values.
Setting Message Properties for Applications Context
But there is nothing about Outbound transactions....

XML Gateway Outbound transaction error

Hi,
We are trying to send a XML file to an outside vendor using XML gateway but facing issue in doing the HTTP post.
As per the XML Gateway user guide I have setup the Hub definition with protocol type as being HTTP. protocol address as the one provided by the vendor and created a hub user.
I have also setup a 'custom' outbound transaction type.
And then setup a 'Trading Partner' linked it to the transaction type and the hub. and loaded the DTD and Map file.
I am able to generate the XML file successfully but it does not get delivered or is being rejected by the vendor.
I am trying to narrow down to if the issue exists on our end and the file is not being sent correctly or it is being rejected once it reaches the http site.
I get the following error message on looking at the underlying log table:
Response: HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

any help will be much much appreciated.
Thanks

Yes i was able to go to the URL using my machine browser. Since Oracle is installed on a linux machine i do not think I will be able to install a browser and go to the site from the oracle machine. I also tried pinging www.google.com and that seemed to work so i am sure the server is able to connect properly.
Can you suggest any other way to verify that the file is being sent out and the issue is on the other end? I was hoping if i could send the file to any other outside link that will be a good enough test of file going out of the network.
