Xpath query on initiateTaskResponse variable fails

I have a small BPEL process which has a human task , in that when I try to access taskid from initiateTaskResponse message, it throws xpath query is invalid error.
Thanks

Thanks for your Reply,
I can able to browse the variable in JDeveloper at design time. When I try to deploy the process, the server throws error on that assign activity(Selection Failure). So I have changed the assign activity to JavaEmbeeding, but now it throws 'Selection Failure' error at runtime.
I can able to use anyother variables in assign activity.
Thanks in advance,

Variable Picker generates invalid XPath query

This one seems to be a bug:
When declaring a variable of type "element" (not "messageType") and accessing the variable with the Variable Picker from within the assign assistant, i.e. the following line ist generated:
bpws:getVariableData("testVar","","/tns:TaskMgrTestCaseRequest/tns:input")
The BPEL process can be validated and deployed without an error.
At runtime the following exception is generated:
XPath expression failed to execute.
Error while processing xpath expression, the expression is "bpws:getVariableData("testVar", "", "/tns:TaskMgrTestCaseRequest/tns:input")", the reason is XPath expression failed to execute.
Error while processing xpath expression, the expression is "", the reason is Unexpected ''.
Please verify the xpath query.
Please verify the xpath query.
When working with variables of type messageType, there is no problem. (So I declared a messageType to each element type ...)

Thanks for the heads up. We will try to kill this bug in the 0.97 release. -Edwin

Copying Variables in BPEL using XPath Query

Hi,
I am new to BPEL and i want to know if it is possible to copy data from one variable to another using XPath Query in the <from> <to> tags, when the two variables are of different message types.
I am trying to create a sample BPEL that would receive a String through the receive tag tied to one partner link (WSDl) and then invoke a different webservice using the <invoke> tag tied to another partner link (WSDL) by passing the received variable.
I have pasted the BPEL File and the two WSDl files involved.
My Issue is that when I send a soap request to the BPEL, it is passed as null to the webservice invoked.
Probably because the copy tags don't work.
Please help.

Hi,
Yes, it very much is possible.
Xpath query provides a lot many data type conversion functions(string to int, string to date etc), which can be used in copying variables.
thanks

Retrieve xml attribute value of nth xml node using xpath query

I have an xml with following stucture...
<xml>
<header>
<DocumentReference OrderId="order001">
<DocumentReference OrderId="order002">
<DocumentReference OrderId="order003">
I have to loop through this xml and retrieve the orderId values inside Biztalk orchestration.
In the expression shape, I get the count of 'DocumentReference' nodes using an xpath query and then
Added a loopshape to make sure it loops thru all nodes
Loop condition:   n<=nodeCount     (where n is an integer variable, n=0 to begin with, incremented by 1 thru each loop, nodeCount is # of DocumentReference nodes)
I try retrieve to the orderId in the following expression shape using the below xpath query
xpathQuery = System.String.Format("//*[local-name()='OrderReference'][{0}]/@orderID)",n);
sOrderId = xpath(MsgSingleInvoice,xpathQuery);
And I get the following exception:
Inner exception: '//*[local-name()='OrderReference'][1]/@orderID)' has an invalid token.
Exception type: XPathException
Appreciate any help!   thanks!

Thanks for the quick response. I got rid of it.
And I see a different error:
Inner exception: Specified cast is not valid. Exception type: InvalidCastException
Source: Microsoft.XLANGs.Engine
Target Site: System.Object XPathLoad(Microsoft.XLANGs.Core.Part, System.String, System.Type)
Since variable 'n' is of integer type, I suspected it and changed it to n.ToString() and tested again and still see the same error.

Human Workflow Task XPath query string returns multiple nodes.

I am looking for trouble shooting help for this error. I am no sure if it is a server or jdev issue.
I am running JDev version 10.1.3.3 and console version 10.1.3.1.0 locally.
General information on the BPEL process:
I have a temporary table in Oracle lite that I created items to be review by the user. I created a synchronous BPEL process. The first step in developing this process, I created the straight forward invoke the table to get the records, transform the records with a change the approve flag = "Y", and invoke the table to update the records. Works like a charm. I followed the online tutorial by dropping a human task after the transform, configured the parameters, setup the assignments, and moved the invoke to update table under the approved condition. If the table has only one record, the process runs great but if there are two records I get the following error message.
<selectionFailure xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/"><part name="summary"><summary>XPath query string returns multiple nodes.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

Here is how I solved this problem: I was told by the metalink folks that I should use the same verion of SOA console as jdev. So I went back to jdev 10.1.3.1. Rather than reading from the Oracle lite table, I dumped the table into a flat file. I read flat file and populated the workflow. Remember to set the 'messages in batch' flag in the file adapter to 1 and the number of records to skip to zero in the format builder for the flat file. The process now reads each record and creates an instance for that each record. In other words, if I have 8 records in my flat file, I will have 8 instances of the process running on the console. Thanks Jeremy for your help figuring this out.

Error: XPath query string returns multiple nodes

Hi all,
I am facing issue with the assign activity.
Error message:
com.oracle.bpel.client.BPELFault: faultName: {{http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/}selectionFailure} parts: {{ summary=<summary>*XPath query string returns multiple nodes. The assign activity part and query are returning multiple nodes. The assign activity part and query named in the error message returned multiple nodes. It should return single node. According to BPEL4WS specification 1.1 section 14.3, the assign activity part and query named in the error message should not return multiple nodes. Verify the part and xpath query named in the error message at line number 2005 in the BPEL source*.
BPEL code:
<copy>
<from variable="Invoice_Tax_loopCounter"/>
<to variable="Var_Invoice_Tax_Contacts" part="payload" query="/ns30:Invoice_Tax_Contacts/ns30:Invoice/ns29:Get_InvoiceOutput[bpws:getVariableData'Invoice_Tax_loopCounter')]/ns29:ADDR_ATTRIBUTE2"/>
</copy>
We are using SOA 11.1.1.3 version.
Any pointers on this?
Thanks in advance

Hi-
This is because you are have multiple nodes either in source or target XML.
My guess is some nodes of your XML might be repeating (means a single element/node has multiple values). Can you please check that or please post your XML here.

XPath query error - xml extension in schema

Hi,
I am getting following error when i try to assign values to input xml payload before
invoke process.
"{http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/}selectionFailure" has been thrown.
<selectionFailure>
<part name="summary" >
<summary>XPath query string returns multiple nodes. According to BPEL4WS spec 1.1 section 14.3, The assign activity part and query /child::parameter/child::param1 should not return multipe nodes. Please check the BPEL source at line number "40" and verify the part and xpath query /child::parameter/child::param1. </summary>
</part>
</selectionFailure>
The generated XPath resolves to a single node only (tested using XMLSpy). The only reason i can think of is that the xml schema in wsdl is extending a base xml type to a new type.
It works fine if the extending xml type is merged with it's base type, and used as one single complex type.

reg,

I am also having the xml extension issue and since we are dealing with large WSDL files (exceed 40,000 lines) it would be ridiculous to move all extension classes to the base type (parent class). Has this bugged been looked at and when can it be resolved since it seems to be a major issue in JDeveloper.

XPath query with out namespace is possible ?

Hi,
our system reciving xml data using the datatype xsd[b] <any/> . am sure the system will receive the data in same format[node hierarchical] but the namespace of the root element may be differ..
i want write xpath which should not be parse based on the namespace of element.
like the method setNameSpaceAware(false) in java;
will it be possible in bpel. if so how ?
i would be appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Bogi

Ahhhh - thank you for the clarification.
Regarding the expansion of variable, is there anything further needed? Reason I ask is, when I use the variable which contains the same string as when I hard code the string in the XPATH query, I do not receive the desired results - I only receive the
'VENDOR_ADVISORY' results.

Xpath query using ANE with AIR3.9 for iOS app

we are building an app for iOS using AIR 3.9 where we have to load and parse the xml document so that we can read the images path and download the stuff on iOS device. To fix this issue we have found a solution using XCode via ANE where by using XPath Query classes such as "PerformXPathQuery", "PerformXMLXPathQuery", "xmlReadMemory" etc. The code is running well when build on simulator itself on mac machine. But when we are packaging the ANE with AIR 3.9, it gives us the error which says that:-
Error occurred while packaging the application:
Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:
"_xmlReadMemory", referenced from:
      _PerformXMLXPathQuery in libnet.example.download.a(ExampleLib.o)
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture armv7
Compilation failed while executing : ld64
I have tried linking binary with libraries like "libxml2.dylib", "libxml2.2.dylib" and libz.dylib + added the libXML header files to the header search path in the build properties, but got no help.
our AIR 3.9 platform xml looks like:-
<platform xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/extension/3.9">
    <sdkVersion>4.0.0</sdkVersion>
    <linkerOptions>
        <option>-ios_version_min 4.2</option>
        <option>-framework UIKit</option>
        <option>-framework Foundation</option>
        <option>-framework CoreText</option>
    </linkerOptions>
</platform>
can anyone suggest where we are going wrong!
thanks in advance

Found the solution, i was missing the framework related to xPath library in platform.xml

Error while running a query-Input for variable 'Posting Period is invalid

Hi All,
NOTE: This error is only cropping up when I input 12 in the posting period variable selection. If I put in any other value from 1-11 I am not getting any errors. Any ideas why this might be happening?
I am getting the following error when I try and run a query - "Input for variable 'Posting Period (Single entry, mandatory)' is invalid" - On further clicking on this error the message displayed is as follows -
Diagnosis
Variable Posting Period (Single Value Entry, Mandatory) is used as a lower limit (X) and an upper limit () in an interval selection. This limit has the value #.
System Response
Procedure
Enter a different value for variable Posting Period (Single Value Entry, Mandatory). If the value of the other limit is determined by another variable, you can change its value also.
Procedure for System Administration

OK.
Well, if the variable is not used in any interval selection, then I would say "something happened to it".
I would make a copy of the query and run it to check if I get the same problem with period 12.
   -> If not, something is wrong in the original query (you can proceed as below, if changes to original are permitted).
If so, then try removing the variable completely from the query and hardcode restriction to 12.
   -> If problem still persists, I would have to do some thinking.
If problem is gone, then add the variable again. Check.
   -> If problem is back, then the variable "is sick". Only quick thing to do, is to build an identical variable and use that one.
If problem also happens with the new variable, then it's time to share this experience with someone else and consider raising an OSS.
Good luck!

P.S: what fisc year variant are you using?

Query with bind variable, how can use it in managed bean ?

Hi
I create query with bind variable (BindControlTextValue), this query return description of value that i set in BindControlTextValue variable, how can i use this query in managed bean? I need to set this value in String parameter in managed bean.
Thanks

Put the query in a VO and execute it the usual way.
If you need to, you can write a parameterized method in VOImpl that executes the VO query with the parameter and then call that method from the UI (as a methodAction binding) either through the managed bean or via a direct button click on the page.

SQL query with Bind variable with slower execution plan

I have a 'normal' sql select-insert statement (not using bind variable) and it yields the following execution plan:-
Execution Plan
0 INSERT STATEMENT Optimizer=CHOOSE (Cost=7 Card=1 Bytes=148)
1 0 HASH JOIN (Cost=7 Card=1 Bytes=148)
2 1 TABLE ACCESS (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'TABLEA' (Cost=4 Card=1 Bytes=100)
3 2 INDEX (RANGE SCAN) OF 'TABLEA_IDX_2' (NON-UNIQUE) (Cost=3 Card=1)
4 1 INDEX (FAST FULL SCAN) OF 'TABLEB_IDX_003' (NON-UNIQUE)
(Cost=2 Card=135 Bytes=6480)
Statistics
0 recursive calls
18 db block gets
15558 consistent gets
47 physical reads
9896 redo size
423 bytes sent via SQL*Net to client
1095 bytes received via SQL*Net from client
3 SQL*Net roundtrips to/from client
1 sorts (memory)
0 sorts (disk)
55 rows processed
I have the same query but instead running using bind variable (I test it with both oracle form and SQL*plus), it takes considerably longer with a different execution plan:-
Execution Plan
0 INSERT STATEMENT Optimizer=CHOOSE (Cost=407 Card=1 Bytes=148)
1 0 TABLE ACCESS (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'TABLEA' (Cost=3 Card=1 Bytes=100)
2 1 NESTED LOOPS (Cost=407 Card=1 Bytes=148)
3 2 INDEX (FAST FULL SCAN) OF TABLEB_IDX_003' (NON-UNIQUE) (Cost=2 Card=135 Bytes=6480)
4 2 INDEX (RANGE SCAN) OF 'TABLEA_IDX_2' (NON-UNIQUE) (Cost=2 Card=1)
Statistics
0 recursive calls
12 db block gets

54 physical reads

423 bytes sent via SQL*Net to client
1258 bytes received via SQL*Net from client
3 SQL*Net roundtrips to/from client
1 sorts (memory)
0 sorts (disk)
55 rows processed
TABLEA has around 3million record while TABLEB has 300 records. Is there anyway I can improve the speed of the sql query with bind variable? I have DBA Access to the database
Regards
Ivan

Many thanks for your reply.
I have run the statistic already for the both tableA and tableB as well all the indexes associated with both table (using dbms_stats, I am on 9i db ) but not the indexed columns.
for table I use:-
begin
dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(ownname=> 'IVAN', tabname=> 'TABLEA', partname=> NULL);
end;
for index I use:-
begin
dbms_stats.gather_index_stats(ownname=> 'IVAN', indname=> 'TABLEB_IDX_003', partname=> NULL);
end;
Is it possible to show me a sample of how to collect statisc for INDEX columns stats?
regards
Ivan

How to execute a select query stored in variable

Hello helpers ,
I have some "select queries" stored in the database . Now I can derive this query in some variable . How do I execute this query from the variable .
example :
Data Query type char50 .
QueryVar = 'Select MATNR from MBEW where BWKEY = '0001' . '
How do I execute this Query stoored in variable QueryVar in ABAP program ?
Thanks a lot for helping .
Regards
Shashank

Shashank,
It is also possible to use (column_syntax) and (dbtab_syntax) together with (cond_syntax) when using SELECT statements in ABAP. For more info on (column_syntax) and (dbtab_syntax) just have a quick look at ABAP Keyword documention on SELECT statement (hit F1 on SELECT then scroll down to Select->Select result->Select Columns....)
So in your case, you need to separate out (split) the value in 'wa_itab-query' into other variables or append into separate internal tables using common keys etc. - then looping at those tables with the common key (READ TABLE WITH KEY....) use the following syntax at the time of triggering the SELECT query:
SELECT (column_syntax)
       FROM (dbtab_syntax)
       WHERE (cond_syntax).
Also worth a look at this example below:
PARAMETERS: p_cityfr TYPE spfli-cityfrom,
            p_cityto TYPE spfli-cityto.
DATA: BEGIN OF wa,
         fldate TYPE sflight-fldate,
         carrname TYPE scarr-carrname,
         connid   TYPE spfli-connid,
       END OF wa.
DATA itab LIKE SORTED TABLE OF wa
               WITH UNIQUE KEY fldate carrname connid.
DATA: column_syntax TYPE string,
      dbtab_syntax TYPE string.
column_syntax = `c~carrname p~connid f~fldate`.
dbtab_syntax = `( ( scarr AS c `
& ` INNER JOIN spfli AS p ON p~carrid = c~carrid`
& ` AND p~cityfrom = p_cityfr`
& ` AND p~cityto   = p_cityto )`
& ` INNER JOIN sflight AS f ON f~carrid = p~carrid `
& ` AND f~connid = p~connid )`.
SELECT (column_syntax)
       FROM (dbtab_syntax)
       INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab.
LOOP AT itab INTO wa.
WRITE: / wa-fldate, wa-carrname, wa-connid.
ENDLOOP.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Sougata.

KQL query using "Greater Than" fails

I have developed a CSOM app that does a KQL query against several managed properties. One of these properties is numeric (mapped to RefinableDouble01), so I have a greater than (>) comparison in the query string:
     RefinableDouble01>41.12345
I developed the app in Office 365 and when I run the query there, it works fine (no errors).  However, when I run it to our internal SharePoint 2013 site, it fails with the error:
     "We didn't understand your search terms. Make sure they're using proper syntax."
As far as I can tell, the configuration of the internal site matches the Office 365 site.
If I use a query on a text property, so that I don't use the greater than comparison, that query works. The query results from that query also show that the managed property RefinableDouble01 is properly mapped and returns the expected numeric value.
Does anyone know what the problem is? I'm wondering if the KQL query functionality is not properly set up in our internal site, but that is not an area that I am familiar with.

How do I...Mimic Replacement Path with Query using Customer Variable Exits?

Hello SDN:
We are on BW 3.5 SP16.
We are currently using a replacement path Query(RP) with variables
to populate a variable in another Query(T).
The problem we are having is with performance.
The entry of variables in replacement path Query(RP) is optional (This is necessary there cannot be required values)
When results from Replacement Path Query are small performance is fine. (e.g. 10 seconds)
When results from Replacement path query are large performance suffers. (e.g. 1+ minutes)
Users are free to leave the replacement path variables empty resulting in a large set of data to be replaced. This is the worst performance case.
We would like to discover a way to conditionally execute the replacement path query. That is if users do not enter values for the replacement Query(RP) variables do not execute the replacement path query(RP).
Does anyone know if this is possible within reason and in customer exit space?
We have reviewed the situation from all angles and the requirement for the replacement path FUNCTIONALITY and the freedom for the user to leave variable values blank remains.
I've been searching and reading SDN and SAP notes for about a week and do not find threads which address this situation.
We are also exploring Customer variable exits to mimic replacement path functionality
(different topic subject="How do I...Mimic Replacement Path with Query using Customer Variable Exits?")
Any help will be appreciated
Many thanks
David Schuh

My appologies-I posted this message with the wrong subject. I will repost it with appropriate subject.
