XML Generic Sort Action Crashes

Hi All,
I am using a XML Generic Sort Function to sort an MII XML Document. I am using this transaction on multiple pages and it only crashes on 1 page.
I am getting the following error:
com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.TransletException: com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.TransletException: com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.TransletException: java.lang.NullPointerException
This is the data I am passing into the action:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Rowsets DateCreated="2011-06-21T11:08:54" EndDate="2010-11-02T09:02:16" StartDate="2010-11-02T09:02:16" Version="12.1.7 Build(50)">

</Rowsets>
I am sorting on Operation as a number, ProductionOrder as a number, SalesOrder as a number and MaterialNumber as text.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Jeremy for the help. I have submitted this to SAP as a bug and I am moving away from using this action.
I don't quite understand your response so I will add it as a reference for others:
"At first glance I thought maybe a data type issue was the source of the problem, since you were sorting as number type in the GenericSortFilter action, but the document columns were defined as strings. I typically try to keep the data types as pure and consistent as possible, but that didn't seem to be the issue when I switched the sort type to text.
The issue seems to be with the last two columns in the document (even though you are not using them in the sort action) - the source for the Row action is blank or null. I tried used the Output from the Repeater instead of the Item node, but the same issue happened. Deleting these columns from the document or changing the link assignments for the Model and PowerType columns to nullstring seems to do the trick.
It would appear that you have discovered a bug, so if you could log a formal support ticket (MFG-MII component) and update the SDN thread that would be perfect.
Best Regards,
Jeremy Good"

Generic Sort filter in SAP MII 14.0.5

Hello,
I am trying to use Generic Sort filter in SAP MII 14.0.5 and all i need to achieve is sort the XML nodes based on values. i am trying to give input as below XML and sort based on Value. but i am getting error. Input to Generic sort filter is mentioned below. i don't see much documentation for this block. any inputs will be greatly appreciated.

I could be wrong but I seem to recall that Action only supported the MII xml document structure: /Rowsets/Rowset/Row etc.

Wildcards in Generic sort filter

Hi,
is it possible to use wildcards in the Generic sort filter in transactions? And if yes, which ones?
Problem is the following: I get a list of orders from SAP, and I want to select only the orders that are released, so I have to filter on Orderstatus 'REL', the rest of the status can differ according to different situations of the order, so I don't want them in my filter.

You can also perform this via XPath but it will not be quite as fast as the complied action code, here's the syntax:
JCoCall.ResponseXML{/BAPI/SomePath *Square Bracket* contains(StatusCode, "REL") *Square Bracket* /Item}
For more examples and ideas see:
[http://www.w3schools.com/Xpath/default.asp|http://www.w3schools.com/Xpath/default.asp]
Hope this helps,
Sam
PS: Sorry about the *Square Bracket* piece it interprets it as a link otherwise.

Import of XML file failed in portal using XML Content and Action

Hi Friends,
I am trying to import the simple XML file which is just creating the folder in the PORTAL_CONTENT using XML CONTENT AND ACTIONS which is one way of creating the portal content. GO TO SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION > TRANSPORT > XML CONTENT AND ACTIONS > IMPORT.
The reason for using this import tool is to upload the backend Business roles, which is not not working on our corporate portal. To test the import functionality I used the following xml file (I got this XML file by exporting the test folder in the portal using the same tool)

Pass parameter through standard page "import xml content and actions"

Dear Portal experts,
As you know, a standard portal page is configured to allow the import of XML file. It is located in the portal in the path system admin -> transport -> xml content and actions -> import
I configured a quick link u201Cimportu201D to the page so now the link http://myserver:port/irj/portal/import allows me to access directly to this screen.
What I would like to do now is to pass the parameter related to u201Cfile nameu201D through this screen meaning that I would like that http://myserver:port/irj/portal/ import/filename=C:\test.xml fills automatically the fields u201CXML fileu201D with C:\test.xml
Please do you know how to achieve this ?
Thank you very much and regards

hi,
@Maksim :
When user launch an URL like http://myserver:port/irj/portal/ import/*filename=C:\test.xml, he is requested to provide username and password; as this link is a shortcut for the upload xml page, there is a check of authorization and only portal admin that have authorization and permission on this page/iview will be able to upload xml file through the URL. Hope this clarify.
@Kumar :
thank you for your answer. What a pity to not be able to pass parameter through standard portal page/iview particularly knowing that we can pass paramater through many kinds of iviews (transactional iview, url iview, VC iview...). I explored some option on file com.sap.portal.ivs.init.par but this was unsuccessful. However, thanks to this [link bellow|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/ComponenttouploadXMLfilewithPCD+objects], I was able to upload through URL the XML file.
The problem is that I can upload only XML file that are stored in the server not in the local user computer. My requirement is to be able to upload local XML file stored on user's computer.
If someone could provide and idea/solution, I would be very grateful.
Cheers

I am having trouble using the import functionality of XML Content and Actions to transport Remote Role Assignments between Consumer Portals. Whenever I want to upload an XML file containing RRA for Roles and Groups that were already assigned to eachother, the import fails and nothing is updated. The error I get:

Anyone with experience in how to use this?

Flv xml Stream Playlist action script help

So if you go to this site:
click here
you will see a FLV player that has a list of videos that are
pulled from a .xml file...
The action script for this player is as such:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
theVideo.attachVideo(ns);
rewindButton.onRelease = function() {
ns.seek(0);
playButton.onRelease = function() {
ns.pause();
var videoInterval = setInterval(videoStatus,100);
var amountLoaded:Number;
var duration:Number;
ns["onMetaData"] = function(obj) {
duration = obj.duration;
function videoStatus() {
amountLoaded = ns.bytesLoaded / ns.bytesTotal;
loader.loadBar._width = amountLoaded * 194.5;
loader.scrub._x = ns.time / duration * 194.5;
var vlist:XML = new XML();
vlist.ignoreWhite = true;
vlist.onLoad = function() {
var videos:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
for(i=0;i<videos.length;i++) {
videoList.addItem(videos
.attributes.desc,videos.attributes.url);
ns.play(videoList.getItemAt(0).data);
videoList.selectedIndex = 0;
var vidList:Object = new Object();
vidList.change = function() {
ns.play(videoList.getItemAt(videoList.selectedIndex).data);
videoList.addEventListener("change",vidList);
vlist.load("videos.xml");
I want to action script something that will make the videos
play one after the other, get rid of the list on the right and have
buttons on player that allow you to go to the next/previous video
listed in the .xml file
Its sort of like the player at
click
here
I know this is a lot to ask, but I am currently in a jam and
any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks

gotoAndLearn is a fantastic base to build off of.
but
i'm looking for the same thing... how do you get the files
to play one after another?
i've looked for everyhting ns. related and i can find any
doc's on this one.
i 've found the
function complete_listener(eventObject:VideoEvent):void {
if (my_FLVPlybk.source == "rentv1.flv") {
my_FLVPlybk.play("rentv2.flv");
else if (my_FLVPlybk.source == "rentv2.flv") {
my_FLVPlybk.play("rentv3.flv");
on the flash video live docs.. but i can't find anything on
how to tie it into the XML.
anything anyone can offer would be a huge help ...

Find and Replace simple action crashes Illustrator CC

I am now trying Creative Cloud and I came with this bug. When I use a simple action to find and replace a text string in my file it will crash the Illustrator.
My actions is pretty simple:
Find > "aa" (I do have to check all the options to work)
Find and Replace > "aa" to "2014.01.29"
This action works well if I use it once by the Edit menu, but if I close the Illustrator and reopen, it'll not work again and will crash the software.
Everyday I do update my action to actual date, so the action will work normally but sometimes I do have to close the app and I have to make the action again and again everytime.
This was a problem already in CS5, last version that I used.
I'm using Windows 8.

Msot likely this isthe problem of the action playing back to fast.
Actions Flyout >> playback options > set to altast 1 second
You will need to change this setting each time you resart illustrator

XML Dataset - Sorting non english characters

I've been playing with spry on a production site for more
than a year now. It's turned out to be a great solution in many
situations in spite of being a beta release.
I've found an issue concerning the sorting of text data (in
this case, coming from an XML file). You can find the example page
here:
http://mi.esan.edu.pe/elecciones/2008/electores/.
It's in Spanish but i guess you won't need a translation to
understand what's going on; besides you can always check the source
code if so you wish.
Works fine, though I still have some polishing to do. The
most important part of which is fixing the sort order that spry
gives me by default.
If you click on the "go to last page link" (»), located
below the table/dataset area, you will see that after letter Z come
the words, in this case last names, starting with letter A, but
with a tilde on them. I've devised a workaround, but that requires
creating an extra column with everything converted to only English
characters. My list is already 4000 records long and takes a few
seconds to load. It's definitely going to get much longer in the
years to come and I wish I will be able to give my users the
ability to sort by any column they wish. So, I can't just be adding
columns and duplicating data all around.
Is there a way to tell spry that Á should be sorted as
if it was A (not after A, not before it, and definitely not at the
end of the list), that Ñ should come right after N, and so on?
I will very much appreciate your answer.
Regards,
Jose

Thank you very much for your reply, Kin.
Sad thing that there wasn't a solution, though.
But, then I guess you must be aware that spry is being used
and will be used by a huge ammount of non English speaking clients
of Adobe. Namely those of us that have Spanish, French, German,
Japanese, Chinese or any other as their primary language. And all
of us would greatly appreciate a not so English-centered solution,
for such a commonplace feature as sorting is.
Given this situation, what chances do you think there are
that Adobe will be developping the necessary language specific
plugins for spry's sorting capabilities? And, how soon would that
be?
In the meantime, I will start trying to do it myself. It
would be fantastic if you coukd give me any hints on how to start,
javascript is not my strongest point but I think I can crack it out
and have a little fun while I'm at it, too.
Regards,
Jose

BPM Studio Task Send XML to Client Actions

After I do the Send XML to Client from the exeucte tab of an action...instead of
marking the task as done on the call back actions...i try to mark the same task
as done in the next task after a decision box....it doesnt seem to work?
any ideas? should you always mark a task as done on the same task?

Hi Sudhar.
I don't think your workflow will execute the next node before you mark the current
node as done. Conseqently setting the done in the decision box isn't possible.

Fix xml-structure after keynote crash??

I have prepared lectures in keynote - a months work (265mb). The file crashed - I think during problems caused to lack of memory and harddisk space. I cannot open this file anymore, still all the content is in package content. Is there a way to save (parts of) the file, by repairing the xml - script? Any help is highly appreciated!!!!!!

+"All my files are in a folder structure as album and MPEG-4 files. My documents/my music/iTunes,iTunes Music/group/album/songs."+
You already have the song files in the right place, so you only need to get them added to your library. Use the command *File > Add Folder to Library* and point it to your folder "iTunes Music."

Merging X XML files, sorting the resultlist and finally execute a distinct?

I have several questions about an XSLT file that I should write:
1� First, I get X paths to XML files. It can be 2, 3, 4, ... whatever a number. I don't know exactly the total amount of XML files.
I need to merge them dynamicly to one resultset.
2� Next, I need to sort them on a specific node (remark: every XML file has the same DOM tree)
3� Finally, I want to distinct the values because some of the nodes are in file 1, 2, 3 ... So I don't want duplicates.
I guess this is not possible in XSLT? I can't use Java, so it should be done using XSLT ;;;

Have a look here:
[http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/index.html|http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/index.html]
under the "Sorting" and "Grouping" sections. Also consider using XSLT 2.0, which has built-in grouping elements which make the convoluted XSLT 1.0 techniques unnecessary.

You should be able to add that data into your xml tags and then extract it in the AS2 onLoad function...
XML:
<icons>
<icon image="icon1.png" tooltip="Planning" linkURL="http://www.someURL.com/somePage.html" />
AS2:
xml.onLoad = function()
etc....
t.onEnterFrame = mover;
t.toolText = nodes[i].attributes.tooltip;
t.urlLink = nodes[i].attributes.linkURL;
etc...

MySQL PHP XML not sorted in the right order

Hi, maybe someone can point out to me where I go wrong.
I use an XML derived with PHP from a MySQL database to loop through a series of pictures.
The XML I get from a database query gets sorted in the wrong order.
I try to sort it by orde (is a columnname) but it keeps sorting by the ID.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
This is the PHP code to create the XML:
$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "xxxx", "xxxxxxxxx");
mysql_select_db("xxxxxxxxxxx");
$query = 'SELECT * FROM gallery WHERE categorie = "dessin" ORDER BY "orde" ASC';
$results = mysql_query($query);
echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ?>\n";
echo "<dataLoaded>\n";
while ($line = mysql_fetch_assoc($results)) {
echo "<galerie>\n";
echo "<id>" . $line["gallery_id"] . "</id>\n";
echo "<orde>" . $line["orde"] . "</orde>\n";
echo "<image><![CDATA[" . $line["starturl"] . $line["image"] . $line["endurl"] . "]]></image>\n";
echo "</galerie>\n";
echo "</dataLoaded>\n";
mysql_close($link);

Thanks Kglad. Didn't work though.
I also looked it up in the PHP reference with mysql_fetch_row you need to specify a single row I understand.
In this case it might be many and the number differs.
But I found the solution. I removed the quotes around orde and now it works.
$query = 'SELECT orde, starturl, image, endurl FROM gallery WHERE categorie ="dessin" ORDER BY orde ASC';
Nevertheless thank you and others for the great help on these forums.
