Xpath Query to find parent nodes

My XMl is like this
<UserAgent1>
<Name>QTS </Name>
<NetworkFamily>GSM</NetworkFamily>
<NetworkSupportedMap>0x06</NetworkSupportedMap>
</UserAgent1>
<UserAgent2>
<Name>QuickTime</Name>
<NetworkFamily>GSM</NetworkFamily>
<NetworkSupportedMap>0x06</NetworkSupportedMap>
</UserAgent2>
Now if they give a search String like "GSM" without specifying any tag
Then i use the xpath query
//*[contains(text(),'GSM')]
This will give me the child element <NetworkFamily>GSM</NetworkFamily> . .and with this i will find out the parent element which is <UserAgent1> & <UserAgent2>
IS there any query which will give me directly the Parent Nodes whose childnodes contain the given text ?

Well, of course there is. But I couldn't remember how so I googled the keywords "xpath parent". The first link that came back suggested
//*[contains(text(),'GSM')]/..
and the second suggested the parent axis
parent::(//*[contains(text(),'GSM')]) or maybe //parent::*[contains(text(),'GSM')]
So yes, there's several ways. And they were easy to find with Google too.

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.

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.

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.

FTREE_NODE: Find parent node which has no child nodes

Hi guys
Does anybody know how to find a parent node which has no child node(s)?
I couldn't find any build-in at the online help. Is there a trick to got this?
Thanks in advance
Remo

Hi Remo,
I misspoke, in my earlier post. The FTREE built-in has defined constants for the possible values that FTREE.NODE_STATE can have -- FTREE.COLLAPSED, FTREE.EXPANDED and FTREE.LEAF_NODE.
If you wish, rather than testing for a value of '0', you can instead test for a value of FTREE.LEAF_NODE. Both are functionally identical, but using the constants can improve the readability of your code, eliminating the need for additional comments.

Finding parent node using hierarchical query

* Is it possible to find the parent record for a given child record in Oracle 8i using hierarchical queries?
* For instance, if I have the following table:MyTable
col1
col2
col3* The following query returns the tree structure:SELECT *
FROM MyTable
START WITH col1 is null
CONNECT BY PRIOR col1 = col2* Is it possible to retrieve the root record (col1 is null) for a given child record?
* Appreciate any pointers.

Hi,
Just change the condition for "Connect by Prior" and it will start giving you bottom-to-top records.
Your Original Query
SELECT * FROM MyTable START WITH col1 is nullCONNECT BY PRIOR col1 = col2
change is like this,
SELECT * FROM MyTable START WITH col1=<Value> CONNECT BY PRIOR col2 = col1
Replace <Value> by the actual value of field.

Hierarchy Query to get parent nodes?

Hi Everyone,
I want to write a hierarchy query which should give me the path starting from given node to its parents(Grand parents). below is the sample data and the output what i am expecting. and also the output what i am getting right now from my query.
CREATE TABLE RELATION (PARENT VARCHAR2(5),CHILD VARCHAR2(5) PRIMARY KEY);
--Data for the tree which starts from the root 'A'
Insert into RELATION (PARENT, CHILD) Values (NULL,'A');
Insert into RELATION (PARENT, CHILD) Values ('A', 'B');
Insert into RELATION (PARENT, CHILD) Values ('A', 'C');
Insert into RELATION (PARENT, CHILD) Values ('B', 'D');
Insert into RELATION (PARENT, CHILD) Values ('B', 'E');
Insert into RELATION (PARENT, CHILD) Values ('D', 'F');
Insert into RELATION (PARENT, CHILD) Values ('C', 'G');
--Data for the tree which starts from the root 'H'
Insert into RELATION (PARENT, CHILD) Values (NULL,'H');
Insert into RELATION (PARENT, CHILD) Values ('H', 'I');
Insert into RELATION (PARENT, CHILD) Values ('H', 'J');
Expected Output by passing values as 'F' which gives the path from bottom to up.
A<-B<-D<-F
My Query:
SELECT substr(sys_connect_by_path(child,'<-'),3)
FROM relation
WHERE connect_by_isleaf = 1
START WITH child = 'F'
CONNECT BY PRIOR parent = child
ORDER BY child;
Output of my query:
F<-D<-B<-A
I am getting the output in reverse order. i can use the reverse string function to reverse the string but the problem is the node can also contain the values like 'AC' 'BA'.. in future.
Can anyone please help me in getting the correct output.
Thank you in advance.

I like ListAgg :D
with RELATION(PARENT,CHILD) as(
select NULL,'A' from dual union all
select 'A', 'B' from dual union all
select 'A', 'C' from dual union all
select 'B', 'D' from dual union all
select 'B', 'E' from dual union all
select 'D', 'F' from dual union all
select 'C', 'G' from dual union all
select NULL,'H' from dual union all
select 'H', 'I' from dual union all
select 'H', 'J' from dual)
SELECT ListAgg(child,'<-')
within group(order by Level desc) as revPath
FROM relation
START WITH child = 'F'
CONNECT BY PRIOR parent = child;
revPath
A<-B<-D<-F

Query to find parent & al children customer based on child Party_number

Hi All,
I am working analyzing some TCA hierarchy data for a new customer dimension table design for a project and also for better understanding of the TCA.
I need a query which can help me in listing all the PARTY IDs of all the customers that come under the top most rolled up customer which is found based on an any random input CHILD PARTY NUMBER.
In simple terms.
1. I have any random PARTY NUMBER of any customer in HZ PARTY.
2. Using that PARTY NUMBER I need to find it's top most level rolled up parent customer.(i.e. Which global parent customer it falls under)
3. Now based on the global customer found in the second step, I need to find all the customers (and all its global subsidiaries) under that one global name.(All the customers which are spread across the glob)
I am currently using the following tables to build the logic.
hz_parties
hz_relationships
hz_hierarchy_nodes
fnd_lookup_values
Anybody who has done such an exercise or has any kind of inputs, queries which can help, etc.. it would be really helpful.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you,
Warm Regards
Goldi

hi goldie,
u can use
party_id (pk) from hz_parties,
party_id(fk) and cust_account_id(pk) from hz_cust_accounts,
cust_account_id(fk) from AR.HZ_CUST_ACCT_RELATE_ALL.
i hope u can get the way for your answer..
pls let me know, it worked or not.
Regards.

Stuck on sql query to find parent records that have the same child records

Oracle 10gR2 Enterprise Edition.
Hi,
I'm trying to write some logic to look for records in a parent table, which have the exact same values in a child table.
This is part of a bigger query, but I'm stuck on this part for now, so I've mocked up some simplified tables below to capture the core of the
problem I'm stuck on.
Let say I've got a parent table Manager, a child table Employee and there's a many to many relationship between them.
The aptly named Join_Table handles the relationship between them. So one manager can manage many employees, one employee can be managed by
many managers.
I've a feeling this is stupidly easy, but I seem to be suffering from a bad bout of brain freeze today!
-- parent table
CREATE TABLE manager (
id      number primary key,
name      varchar2(100));
-- child table
CREATE TABLE employee (
id          number primary key,
name      varchar2(100));
-- link table
CREATE TABLE join_table (
manager_id          NUMBER,
employee_id      NUMBER,
CONSTRAINT join_table_pk PRIMARY KEY (manager_id, employee_id),
CONSTRAINT manager_fk FOREIGN KEY (manager_id) REFERENCES manager(id),
CONSTRAINT employee_fk FOREIGN KEY (employee_id) REFERENCES employee(id)
-- Insert some managers
INSERT INTO manager (id, name) VALUES (1, 'John');
INSERT INTO manager (id, name) VALUES (2, 'Bob');
INSERT INTO manager (id, name) VALUES (3, 'Mary');
INSERT INTO manager (id, name) VALUES (4, 'Sue');
INSERT INTO manager (id, name) VALUES (5, 'Alan');
INSERT INTO manager (id, name) VALUES (6, 'Mike');
-- Insert some employees
INSERT INTO employee (id, name) VALUES (101, 'Paul');
INSERT INTO employee (id, name) VALUES (102, 'Simon');
INSERT INTO employee (id, name) VALUES (103, 'Ken');
INSERT INTO employee (id, name) VALUES (104, 'Kevin');
INSERT INTO employee (id, name) VALUES (105, 'Jack');
INSERT INTO employee (id, name) VALUES (106, 'Jennifer');
INSERT INTO employee (id, name) VALUES (107, 'Tim');
-- Insert the links
-- John manages Paul, Simon, Ken
INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (1, 101);
INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (1, 102);
INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (1, 103);
-- Bob manages Paul, Simon, Kevin, Jack
INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (2, 101);
INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (2, 102);
INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (2, 104);
INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (2, 105);
-- Mary manages Jennifer, Tim
INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (3, 106);
INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (3, 107);
-- Sue manages Jennifer, Tim
INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (4, 106);
INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (4, 107);
-- Alan manages Paul, Simon, Ken, Jennifer, Tim
INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (5, 101);
INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (5, 102);
INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (5, 103);
INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (5, 106);
INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (5, 107);
-- Mike manages Paul, Simon, Ken
INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (6, 101);
INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (6, 102);
INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (6, 103);
-- For sanity
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX employee_name_uidx ON employee(name);So if I'm querying for manager John, I want to find the other managers who manage the exact same list of employees.
Answer should be Mike.
If I'm querying for manager Mary, answer should be Sue.
This query will give me the list of managers who manage some of the same employees as John, but not the exact same employees...
SELECT DISTINCT m.name AS manager
FROM manager m, join_table jt, employee e
WHERE m.id = jt.manager_id
AND jt.employee_id = e.id
AND e.id IN (
     SELECT e.id
     FROM manager m, join_table jt, employee e
     WHERE m.id = jt.manager_id
     AND jt.employee_id = e.id
     AND m.name = 'John')
ORDER BY 1;I thought about using set operations to find managers whose list of employees minus my employees is null and where my employees minus their list of employees is null. But surely there's a simpler more elegant way.
Any ideas?
Btw, I need to run this as a batch job against tables with >20 million rows so query efficiency is key.

What about...
WITH manager_list AS
SELECT name,
        LTRIM(MAX(SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(id,','))
        KEEP (DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY curr),',') AS employees
FROM   (SELECT m.name,
                e.id,
                ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY m.name ORDER BY e.id) AS curr,
                ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY m.name ORDER BY e.id) -1 AS prev
         FROM   manager m,
                join_table jt,
                employee e
WHERE m.id           = jt.manager_id
AND   jt.employee_id = e.id
AND   m.name = :P_MANAGER)
GROUP BY name
CONNECT BY prev = PRIOR curr AND name = PRIOR name
START WITH curr = 1
), all_list AS
SELECT name,
        LTRIM(MAX(SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(id,','))
        KEEP (DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY curr),',') AS employees
FROM   (SELECT m.name,
                e.id,
                ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY m.name ORDER BY e.id) AS curr,
                ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY m.name ORDER BY e.id) -1 AS prev
         FROM   manager m,
                join_table jt,
                employee e
WHERE m.id           = jt.manager_id
AND   jt.employee_id = e.id)
GROUP BY name
CONNECT BY prev = PRIOR curr AND name = PRIOR name
START WITH curr = 1
SELECT a.*
FROM   manager_list m,
       all_list a
WHERE m.employees = a.employeesWould be easier in 11g, but I don't have an installation here so this is based on 10g.

XPath query string returns zero node...

Hi,
I try to filling value of node's in "java embedding" activity, but i got Subj. error.
Text java code is :
setVariableData("MesAQ_Enqueue_Variable", "Soob", "/ns2:Soob/ns2:CtrlFraseAsProps/ns2:Field[2]/ns2:npp", "12345");
I know, node with index 2 not exist, but where i can add it, before set value ?
Thanks
Evgeniy

<copy>
<from expression="ora:addChildNode(bpws:getVariableData("output", "payload", "/tns:bpelResponse/tns:results"), bpws:getVariableData('testResult'))"></from>
<to variable="output" part="payload" query="/tns:bpelResponse/tns:results"/>
</copy>
It adds the object testResult into the array results and then saves the updated array back into results.
There are tutorials on this that should either come installed with BPEL, or there are also ones on Oracle's site here, if you need to see more complete examples of array usage.

Re: Hierarchy Query to get parent nodes?

Guys i need a help here please....
i want to query using any single value for example in where clause for "E" , i want to retrieve whole bunch from "A" to "G" which are all interlinked. is there any way for this?..
im lookking like
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
when i query for "E"
Thanks in advance..

sorry,,, i couldn't explain properly...
here is the example...
CREATE TABLE RELATION (PARENT VARCHAR2(5),CHILD VARCHAR2(5) PRIMARY KEY);
---this is group 1
Insert into RELATION (PARENT, CHILD) Values ('A', 'B');
Insert into RELATION (PARENT, CHILD) Values ('A', 'C');
Insert into RELATION (PARENT, CHILD) Values ('B', 'D');
Insert into RELATION (PARENT, CHILD) Values ('B', 'E');
Insert into RELATION (PARENT, CHILD) Values ('D', 'F');
Insert into RELATION (PARENT, CHILD) Values ('C', 'G');
--This is group 2
Insert into RELATION (PARENT, CHILD) Values ('H', 'I');
Insert into RELATION (PARENT, CHILD) Values ('H', 'J');
Insert into RELATION (PARENT, CHILD) Values ('J', 'K');
Insert into RELATION (PARENT, CHILD) Values ('K', 'M');
I WILL TAKE group 1 ..
i want from relation table single column all related falling in one group . like..
when i look for E i should get all the below..
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
even though E is not directly linked to A it is linked through B. basically all in one group but the link is not direct. i dont have any group key in my table..
the query column (where clause) can be either parent or child..
hope u will gettit.. thanks for ur patience...

Recursive query for finding parents and children against two tables

Hi I have two tables where the data is stored hierarchially.
I have found using connect_by, level and other oracle functions doing its job when the data is in one table.
Can I traverse against two tables by using the same oracle functions.
My Table A can go 2 levels deep in my hierarchy and level 3 and so forth has to be done against a different table.
Appreciate your insight..
Thanks in advance

The number of levels that I can traverse in the first table is dynamic (sometimes 2 levels and sometimes 3 levels and actually no level limit) and then has to dynamically start looking at second table for finding any more levels in the other table.
I was able to implement them seperately and union them.
I was more looking for a comprehensive solution to reduce the number of lines that I have to maintain...
Thanks in advance

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,
Amitoj.

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.

BOM: Finding Children Nodes For a Given Parent Node

Hi,
I am trying to find the longest path for a particular BOM material. I am using the FM CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2 to explode the BOM to get the materials (including children nodes etc.). I think, in this scenario, a recursive function would be the best way to go. The problem is to find the children nodes for a node in a particular level. Looking at the structure STPOX and the fields STUFE (Level), WGEXX (path) , TTIDX (index) and VWGEX (path, multi-level), I cannot find a logical way to link the children nodes to a parent node although visually I can see how things are connected when the FM returns the STB table..
For example: TBL_STB returns from FM:
STUFE     WEGXX     BMTYP     TTIDX     VWEGX     OJTXB
1     1     M     1     0     MATXX1
2     1     M     2     1     MATXX2
3(a)     1     M     3     1              MATXX3
4(c)     1     M     4     1              MATXX4
4(d)     2     M     4     1              MATXX5
3(b)     2     M     3     1              MATXX6
4(e)     3     M     5     2              MATXX7
4(f)     4     M     5     2              MATXX8
Visually, we can tell that Level 2 has one item 2, level 3 has 2 items, 3(a) and 3(b), Level 4 has 4 items where 4c and 4d are connected to 3a and 4e and 4f are connected to 3b.
Going through STPOX structure itself, how can we find out that 4c and 4d belongs to assembly 3a but 4e and 4f belong to 3b?? If someone can explain the uses of the differnet indicators in STPOX (or other) where I can find out the children from the parent, it would be greatly helpful to write the recursive function..
Thanks in advance..
P.S. I will give points out immediately for any useful answers..

Figured it out myself

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.
