XML Output and DTD

I use Reports9i to generate a XML report output.
How do I generate the associated DTD? Do I need to manually
write it.
Thanks,
Alex

To add, if your application needs a DTDyou an use any XML IDE ( like xmlspy) to automatically write a bare minimal DTD for the XML and you can modify to impose /alter the restrictions

Get XML Output and parameters

I'm using Oracle BI Publisher 11.1.1.3.0 and I've created a Dataset with several parameters. (6 to be precise) I'm using the "Get XML Output" button to generate my sample data...
Without the parameters all is good... but when I add parameters... the parameters line up from left to right three of my parameters "disappears" to the right and even more importantly the "Run" & "Return" buttons disappear and I cannot access them.
I feel like I'm missing something simple... but I just can't find it. How can I get those parameters to line up some other way?
(Let me specify once again that I am ONLY in the Dataset area, not the report area)
Thanks in advance

Look... this seems like a serious problem...
I cannot generate the sample data when I add more than 3 parameters (Type Menu with a LOV) ....
I cannot generate sample data, the parameters do not appear on the report...
The Run button is off screen and there are no scroll bars...
I am in the data model area only... NOT the report are and I have NO way of seeing the parameters that are off screen or even accessing the Run & Return button or the "Save sample data"
What is going on?

How to parse SOAP XML output and load to oracle9i table

Below is the SOAP output response and I need to load the data into oracle 9i database tables.
I am able to parse regular XML without namespaces but unable to parse the data with namespaces.
I would need help in parsing this XML.

Easiest and/or best methods for generating XML output (not with a report)

Hi, several of our EBS customers (11.5.10) are converting their PDF reports to use XML/BI publisher to produce output. The data stream comes from a report that generates the XML output, and then the XML template is applied. This works great ... no problems, etc. From what I have read, however, Oracle intends to treat the traditional Forms and Reports Developers as legacy tools (although still supporting them, of course).
My question is if I wanted to ditch using Reports to generate XML output, what, in your opinion or in your current usage, is the easiest way of getting this data? In Reports, the data modeler is excellent in providing a method to write your queries, split them into different repeating groups, write formula and summary columns, link multiple queries, etc, etc. If one were to become Reports Developer free, what comparable tools are available to take its place? I would expect this tool to handle a mix of GUI and coding like the Reports data modeler. Please note that I'm not looking for an EBS-specific solution -- say for a custom application using regular Oracle 10g DB and iAS, with BI Publisher for reporting.
Thanks for your feedback,
Ryan

What I'm looking for is to not use Oracle Reports to generate the XML data output since Oracle's statement of direction is pushing BI Publisher rather than Oracle Reports as the preferred tool for reporting. That said, the data modeler in Reports provides a very flexible tool to construct and link multiple queries and to manipulate the queries into several levels of a master/detail relationship. Further, the mix of GUI and coding makes setting up the data model a lot more efficient. What I'm looking for (and I don't know if anything exists) is something comparable that can be used to generate XML output from the DB -- the idea being that I wouldn't use legacy tools, like Reports, for this task. I hope that is clearer.
Really, another way of answering my question is, aside from Reports and the APIs mentioned so far, what are my fellow developers using, if anything, to extract XML data in a way that handles the features i list above?

RoboHelp 7 and XML output

Can RoboHelp 7 output topics as XML (.xml files) ?
We are researching upgrading to RoboHelp 7 from our RoboHelp
HTML 2002 versions. We skipped the X-series upgrades, but I recall
reading that the X-series supported XML in some way. I downloaded
the RH7 trial version and could not find anything in the Help about
XML. Then it seems that suddenly an XML Output icon appeared in the
Single Source Layouts pane. It was not there previously. I then
could generate xhtml (.htm) files.
We called sales who didn't seem to know and said we'd need a
valid license to ask tech support.
Can someone enlighten me about the history of the X-series
and XML output, and what is actually possible for XML from RH7? And
what you need to do to get the XML Output to appear in the Single
Source Layoutspane? XML Output is not covered anywhere I found in
help or knowledge base, but it seems so huge a deal that it makes
me think I must be missing something.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Peter
Thanks for your help. In the Single Source Layouts pane, I
clicked create Layout, and selected XML Output, and it now appears
in the Single Source Layouts screen. Still have some questions.
1\ Do you know any of the history of what kind of XML support
was offered in the X-series, and if version 7 offers less, more, or
the same support?
2\ Any idea why there is NOTHING mentioned in the RoboHelp
Help if you search using XML or XML output? Even more curious is
when I click the Help button from the XML Output Options box, I do
find a topic called XML Output Options. I wonder why their main
Search tool doesn't find this...
We were hoping to migrate to XML using XMetaL, but Mgt is
balking due to the time and costs involved in conversion and
translation issues. Which is why we may need to upgrade RH2002 to
RH7, so our legacy docs remain pretty much intact. But at the same
time, we want to know what the current RH XML capabilites are, and
are wondering what their plans are for the future, like, will they
offer real XML out to the current major tech writing standard,
DITA. We hope to start authoring new docs only then using XMetal so
we don't take the conversion/translation memory hit.
So yes, our XML questions are deliberate.

Want to include ?xml tag and schema when creating XML

My database table that need to be generated in to XML are large and therefore I must use OracleXMLQuery.getXMLSAX . The output is missing the <?xml version="1.0" ?> tag. How do I get it? I am on 9i but have imported the .jar containing oracle/xml/parser/v2/XMLSAXSerializer from 10g XDK.
Also, I want the schema to be written next, before the actual XML table values.
I know that a command line parameter exists, which works for small XML files:
java oraclexml getxml -user "scott/tiger" -withDTD "select ....
How do I get the equivalent of '"-withDTD" when using
     OracleXMLQuery qry = new OracleXMLQuery(conn, "select * from "+table_name );
     qry.getXMLSAX(myStream);
     myStream.flush();
Thank you,
Elaine

No. Actually, I can get the <?xml tag and DTD if my select statement contains 'where rownum=0', as the resultset is small which lets me use getXMLMetaData() .
I write it to one output file, then do another OracleXMLQuery, repeating the select statement without the where clause, and run that through getXMLSAX to get the detail.
Next, I need to scrub the data of special characters acceptable in the database but which cause problems to a browser or XML validator. (e.g. accented characters).
Finally, I will concatente the two files.
Is there a simpler way to do this?
Thanks,
Elaine

XML validation with DTD stored in String object

Does anyone know if this is plausible......
I am trying to validate some XML with a DTD... easy enough, right? The catch is that the dtd is NOT stored in a file somewhere and is also not declared in the XML to be validated. It is stored in a String object (as is the XML file to be validated).
To clarify - I want to do something like this... but not sure how to incorporate the DTD.
String dtd = // dtd definition here
String xml = // xml text here (no URI at the top)
SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser parser = factory.newSAXParser();
DefaultHandler handler = new DefaultHandler(); // DTD handler??
parser.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(xml.toString())), handler);any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance,
Terrance

I guess it makes the most sense to make the dtd local to the xml. Therefore I would only have one string with both the xml contents and dtd contents. That is how I am going to approach this unless I hear something different.

XSU Generated Schemas and DTDs are bad input for oracg

Hi,
I'm trying to write a utility that accepts a database schema name and writes XML Schemas and a DTDs for each table based on a:
select * from table_name
over each table in the schema. I would then like to use those files as input to the oracg utility to produce java files. There are some problems though. The DTD representation is not meant as a standalone DTD. In other words its of the form:
<!DOCTYPE NAME [
...dtd defs here ...
]>
which oracg doesn't like. Its not a big deal to do some post processing and delete the DOCTYPE defenition, but then oracg barfs with the following error:
Error: DTD Class Generator failed to generate classes. oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Expected 'DOCTYPE'.
Here is the DTD I was trying to generate a class from:

The oracg utility gives the following errors with this as input:

Error: Schema Class Generator failed to generate classes. oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Whitespace required.
which clearly points to the fact that the XSD:SCHEMA element is enclosed in the Document Element. Removing the document tag completely and leaving XSD:SCHEMA as the root element works. But thats a lot of post processing to be doing and I was wondering if there was a way to generate XML Schemas and DTDs using the standalone representations.
If there is no way to do that, could somebody help me fix the error generated by oracg with my DTD?
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm trying to write a utility that accepts a database schema name and writes XML Schemas and a DTDs for each table based on a:
select * from table_name
over each table in the schema. I would then like to use those files as input to the oracg utility to produce java files. There are some problems though. The DTD representation is not meant as a standalone DTD. In other words its of the form:
<!DOCTYPE NAME [
...dtd defs here ...
]>
which oracg doesn't like. Its not a big deal to do some post processing and delete the DOCTYPE defenition, but then oracg barfs with the following error:
Error: DTD Class Generator failed to generate classes. oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Expected 'DOCTYPE'.
Here is the DTD I was trying to generate a class from:
<!ELEMENT STATION (ROW)*>

How do I read a report's XML Output from a procedure?

I am using E-Business suite 11.5.10.2 and XMLP 5.5. I have a report that will output XML. When this report is run, I can click the 'View Output' button and view the XML. This appears to be a temp file somewhere, because the temp id in the URL changes each time a new report is run. Here's my problem: After running this report, I want to execute a procedure that will loop through the XML output and transform it into HTML. I will then output this HTML to the screen. But I'm not sure how to pass this file as a parameter to my procedure.
Is there anyway to allow a procedure to consume the XML output?
The reason I'm trying to do this, is because we need to transform certain reports into Excel format. This is becoming a critical issue. After testing, I found that if I can extract data into an HTML table and display it on the screen, it dumps perfectly into Excel. I tested it using a cursor, but that won't work for production reports. There is a ton of logic built into these Oracle reports, so I need to go the XML route after running the report.
Looking at previous posts, the current Excel output process seems to be a bit buggy. And, we can not upgrade to Excel 2003 at this time.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks.
Mark K

Hello Klaus. I appreciate your response. While I'm no expert with XMLP, I have created about 8 production reports using XMLP. I am using XMLP 5.5, and not 5.6.1 I am using Excel 2002 and not Excel 2003. From other posts (shown below), it is my understanding that the Excel output may have bugs unless you're using XMLP 5.6.1 and Excel 2003.
Please see the following posts for more information:
Re: EXCEL output not displaying properly
Excel output in 5.6 version
Also, when I tried to output to Excel using my desktop version, I received an error message. But, when I switch to PDF format, it opens just fine.
We are not prepared to upgrade Excel and/or install another patch for XMLP at this time. If I can do what I need to do programmatically, I will have much more leverage when it comes to troubleshooting. On the other hand, when I run into a bug with Oracle software, I usually have to wait for a patch.
Thanks again.

Xmlparser error when xml ref's dtd

When calling xmlparser from PL/SQL to parse an xml file
referencing a dtd, I get the following error, even though both
the xml file and dtd are valid with XML Spy:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-20100: Error occurred while parsing: Invalid argument
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLPARSER", line 22
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLPARSER", line 69
ORA-06512: at line 6
If I remove the dtd reference from the xml file it runs without
error.
Here's the PL/SQL:
DECLARE
p xmlparser.parser;
d xmldom.DOMDocument;
BEGIN
p := xmlparser.newParser;
xmlparser.parse (p, 'C:\test.xml');
xmlparser.freeParser (p);
END;
Here's the xml file 'C:\test.xml':
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE Department SYSTEM "C:\test.dtd">
<Department>
     <DepartmentRec>
          <SOURCE_KEY>200600 Sales-Northeast</SOURCE_KEY>
          <DEPTID>200600</DEPTID>
          <DEPARTMENT_NAME>SALES-
NORTHEAST</DEPARTMENT_NAME>
     </DepartmentRec>
</Department>
Here's the dtd 'C:\test.dtd':
<!ELEMENT Department (DepartmentRec*)>
<!ELEMENT DepartmentRec (SOURCE_KEY,DEPTID,DEPARTMENT_NAME)>
<!ELEMENT SOURCE_KEY (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT DEPTID (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT DEPARTMENT_NAME (#PCDATA)>
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks - Dana

This error is caused by your using an illegally formatted URL in
the DTD SYSTEM parameter. This is a misleading "feature" of XML
Spy that it allows your file to validate. A line like:
<!DOCTYPE Department SYSTEM "C:\test.dtd">
Is not a legal SYSTEM identifier, which must
be a valid URL. This is a windows-specific file path.
When I changed:
<!DOCTYPE Department SYSTEM "C:\test.dtd">
to

<!DOCTYPE Department SYSTEM "test.dtd">
or alternatively to:

<!DOCTYPE Department SYSTEM "file:///C:/test.dtd">
and I changed your file of PL/SQL from:
xmlparser.parse (p, 'C:\test.xml');
to
xmlparser.parse (p, 'file:///C:/test.xml');
it works fine for me.

XML stream and stored as an output XML file

Dear ALL,
Could you help me in such situation?
I need create XML file. I have DTD file. I create XML stream and stored as an output XML file. But all the data of my XML file stored in one line.
How I can create my XML file according to DTD file?
Thanks a lot.

Generate XML output using DBMS_XMLGEN.getxmltype and not from rdf

Hi,
I have a requirement to display output from a particular table in XL format. Out of all the known possible options, I am planning to use the XML publisher to generate XL output.
For the data source, instead of using the conventional way of creating XML data using rdf,I am planning to use DBMS_XMLGEN.getxmltype pl/sql procedure to generate the XML output. And from the output, call the template to generate the required Excel output.
Now, I am using the following code to generate XML output but am not sure how to proceed from here. I need to first print the XML data in the FND Output file after which I was planning to call the 'XML Report Publisher' (XDOREPPB) program and use the current request id to get the excel output but I am not able to find the way to print the XML data in the output file as:
fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, l_xml_type); - is throwing an error as l_xml_type is an XML data output.
PROCEDURE xml_main (
errbuf OUT VARCHAR2
,retcode OUT VARCHAR2
,p_project_from IN VARCHAR2
,p_project_to IN VARCHAR2
AS
l_xml_type XMLTYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT DBMS_XMLGEN.getxmltype
('SELECT fnd_global.conc_request_id
,TO_CHAR (segment1)
,to_char(start_date,''MM/DD/RRRR'')
,to_char(xxmcc_project_details_pkg.current_profit_projection
(project_id),''999,999,990.90'')
,to_char(xxmcc_project_details_pkg.cost_to_date (project_id),''999,999,990.90'')
,''1''
FROM pa_projects_all
WHERE segment1 BETWEEN NVL (p_project_from, segment1)
AND NVL (p_project_to, segment1)')
INTO l_xml_type
FROM DUAL;
fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, l_xml_type);
END xml_main;
Can anyone point me as to how to publish XML output using a PL/SQL procedure (DBMS_XMLGEN.getxmltype)
Thanks.

Pl see if the example included in this presentation helps http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/applications/Events/OOW-2006/EBS/S281401_Sridhar_Bogelli.pdf
Also, you do not need to explicitly call XDOREPPB in later versions of XML Publisher. If you set up everything correctly (as described in the presentation above and the link below) the Output Post Processor is called automatically after the XML file is generated successfully.
Another excellent tutorial is at http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/fusion_middleware/fusion/bi/xmlp_ebiz/index.html

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb.But the output records is originally 4000 records. When copy to new excel it is showing 3.5 mb only. Does anyone knows the answer for this issue?

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb. The records contained in excel file is 4000 records. When taking the excel records and copy to new excel file the excel file size is 3.5 mb only.Why does the oracle software generates 20mb file?
Does any one knows the answer please advice?

Hello,
This issue is because the Excel output from BI Publisher is MHTML (XML Publisher generates XHTML) not binary .xls.
MHTML and XHTML are more verbose formats than binary .xls.
It will be large because the current Excel output is just an HTML and not compressed like PDF. Please use the workaround (save it as .xls file). This is a known limitation of RTF layout templates.
BI Publisher Enterprise has a new feature True Excel Templates. The layouts generate binary Excel output.
Excel Output File Size Generated By BI Publisher is Very Large (Doc ID 760437.1)

Generating and Viewing XML Output without rdf

Howdy,
I have been dev Oracle Forms/Reports for over 10 years. We are now migrating all of our reports to BIP.
To date when I have been developing these reports I have been using the old rdf files to "generate to a file" and thus get a nice, quick and dirty XML output file (what I am calling a “datafile”). Using this makes it substantially easier to then dev the format template. However going forward I/we would like to completely remove the Designer 2000 tool entirely when it comes to report development.
How can we as developers can get our hands on the XML "datafiles" that are generated by the data templates in BIP? Are these stored anywhere on the server for the viewing? Is there another tool I can pop my Data template and SQL into and generate XML ‘with’ the correct groupings, ect.?
Thanks in advance for any assistance/guidance you can provide.

Or, from the browser see Note:394631.1
1.Using System Administrator responsibility
Nav:Profile->System
query Viewer: Text, set this to Browser and save
2. Using your Receivables responsibility
Run the the XML report that is failing, note the request_id
when it finishes, even with errors do this,
View->Requests
query this request_id
click on Diagnostic button->View XML
save the file to your PC by doing File->Save As
3. Upload this XML data file.
