XSLT file with process_data values

Hi there,
I have a process that takes in an XML file and some XSLT in another document variable and some process_data values from the main process.
Inside this process I would like to invoke the XSLT on the XML and use the process_data values inside the XSLT. This works fantastic if I use the "template" setting for the XSLT and add some XSLT code like: <xsl:apply-templates select="{$/process_data/variableA$}.
but if I copy the template and paste it in a xsl-file and tries to give this as input to the process I just get an "javax.xml.TransformerException: A location path was expected, but the following token was encountered: {".
I know what the exception means, but how do I avoid this, so I can just create my XSLT (with the references to process_data) and make it work with the XSLT file as an input?
I hope that someone has a take on this issue - as it is actually a general question on all services that can use a template...
Thanks in advance

That cannot be done because, your external XSLT file will not be resolved againts the XPATH expressions mentioned within it.
Alternatively you can update the XPATH content using SetValue activity.
Templates values are always resolved.

Importing a text file with variable values into web reporting

Hello,
I'm looking for a possibility to import values from a text file into a variable selection in Web reporting.
With BEx reporting in Excel this is possible, by clicking on the multiple selection button in the variable popup screen, and subsequently selecting the "Import from Text file" button.
However, this function seems not to be available for web-reporting...
It would be great if someone could help me out with this!
Thanks & regards,

TSV or CSV files with fraction values

Hello
In the Pages forum, an user asked about the behavior of fractions values.
As every user know, the input parser try to decipher them as dates and if it can't, it try to reduce the fractions.
When we enter values by hand, the workaround is to set the cells format to text before entering the values.
The problem remains when the values are imported from a TSV or a CSV file.
In such case, we can't define the cells formats before the import task.
This is why I wrote two scripts, one for TSV and one for CSV.
They read the contents of such a file and, when a value contains a slash, it add a single quote in front of this value.
So, during the import process, Numbers will treat these values as text and will not try to convert them.

Hello Zahid,
It is currently possible to create a relational multi-source universe with one data provider to an Excel document.
for this to work for Web Intelligence the 62 bit drivers must be installed on the Webi Server for Excel.
Here is a link to the kbase
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1828466
Also here is a link to the Information Design Tool Guide for how to create a multi-source universe:
http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1898185
One of the new features in BI 4.0 is creating a list of values on a Table or custom SQL.
also, here is the link to the available tutorials:

Problem importing text file with null value

I used the following codes to import a text file and it
worked perfectly.
However, it skipped the TAB (chr(9)) on the imported row when
there is no data (empty string) in one of the columns.
Can someone help? thanks!
sample text file data:
00001 desc1 12.00
00002 25.00
00003 desc2 15.00
Code that I used:
<cffile action="read" file="#FilePath#"
variable="data">
<cfset newLine = chr(13) & chr(10)>
<cfset tabChar = chr(9)>
<cfoutput>
<cfloop list="#data#" index="row"
delimiters="#newLine#">
<cfset cols = listToArray(row, tabChar)>
ID = #cols[1]#
desc = #cols[2]#
price = #cols[3]# <br>
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>

There is no perfect way to handle this with out you writing
more complicated code.
A good compromise is to replace this line:
<cfset cols = listToArray(row, tabChar)>
with this:
<cfset cols = listToArray (Replace (row, tabChar &
tabChar, tabChar & "{empty}" & tabChar, "ALL"),
tabChar)>

Problem using Resource Bundle in XSLT File

Hi All,
I've been trying to use Resource Bundle on my XSLT file with no success for the last 2 weeks. So I would like some help to definitely end this problem.
The fact is that i have a property file that i would like to read and it works fine when i use jsp or a servlet however when i try to call the same property file using my XSL i get the message below:
java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name thoth, locale en_US
Follow the code from my Stylesheet that i'm calling the resource bundle:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:java="java.util.ResourceBundle" exclude-result-prefixes="java" version="1.0">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" version="4.0"/>
<xsl:output encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>
<xsl:template match="page">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="paragraph"/>
<xsl:variable name="resources" select="java:getBundle('thoth')"/>
<xsl:value-of select="java:getString($resources,'general.title')"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Please someone could help me why this file cannot be located, I am 100% of sure the property file path is in my classpath since it works fine in a servlet. Should i have to put it some other place? Do i have some other way to read this file and show the information from the file?
I would appreciate any help
thanks in advance and Regards
Fabio

Please someone could help me why this file cannot be located, I am 100% of sure the property file path is in my classpath since it works fine in a servlet.
Is the property file in your classpath? or whether the directory where the property file is residing is in your classpath. Please put only the directory where the property file is located in the classpath and try again.
It may be working fine with the servlet because j2ee servlet containers put the classes and lib directory automatically in the classpath therefore resource bundle gets loaded even without putting it explicitly in the classpath. This doesn't happen when you try to test some component from the console.
Let me know if this does not work.
regards,
Abhishek.

Should not create any output file when transform with xslt file

I have a xslt file, which I have make code to check the order status value.
If OrderStatus != 'Reject' --> create attribute, element for output file
Else OrderStatus = 'Reject' --> do not create attribute/element ==> output is the empty file.
Requirement: if OrderStatus = 'Reject' --> do not create any output file.
how to do with this requirement?
any help will be appreciated!

Do you mean the xslt file always return the output file?
I have tested this xslt file following (only xslt file, not run in BizTalk project):
Create a blank console application using visual studio and add attached xslt file to newly created console app. Next open the XSLT file and select input file and output files and start xslt debugging to create output file.
I want to edit the xslt file how to cannot create output file in the case OrderStatus = Reject.
I don't say in particualr xslt file, its actually your map as a whole that returns a output message on successful execution.
since you are testing the xslt file as individual file, you are able to control it as per need. i mean you can write incomplete code or any kind of output elements that are not present even in schema. But when you set the map properties to use external
xslt , map completely relies on xslt and xslt has to produce output that matches the output schema structure.
So you better test your xslt by setting it to your map. Once you set map properties to use xslt, you can test your map by right clicking on map and choosing test map.

Help with Reading values from static table in a .pdf file

Hi guys,
Pls try to clear this doubt of mine.
I basically have 2 files. Both are .pdf extension and they have tables in them. I need to compare certain values in one file with the corresponding values in the other table in the second file.
I need to do this programatically in c# . net
I have tried using packages like pdfbox and stuff which convert the pdf file into text. But cant I get the table as an object or something using which I can access the required rows and columns?
Also, these tables are static information. They are not a part of a form or anything like that.
Please help me with this.
Thanks.

Can you use a schema when we compose XML doc from Database tables?
Actually, I'm using SQL Server (sorry, wrong forum). But, I thought a Java tool would have a solution for me.

Create xml file with values from context

Hi experts!
I am trying to implement a WD application that will have some input fields, the value of those input fields will be used to create an xml file with a certain format and then sent to a certain application.
Apart from this i want to read an xml file back from the application and then fill some other context nodes with values from the xml file.
Is there any standard used code to do this??
If not how can i do this???
Thanx in advance!!!
P.S. Points will be rewarded to all usefull answers.

Camparing file name with a value of the field in the source

Hi All,
I have a file sender. I need to compare the file name with the value of a field in the source and then map to the target.
For example:
<Record>
<Date>20071103></Date>
<name>abcd</name>
</Record>
the name of the file would be 20071103. i need to check this file name with value in 'date' field , if its true then we need to map it to target
please suggest some way to meet the reqirement
thanks

Hi,
Here is the reason i need to do this:
The data is loaded by DTP in process chain. Overlaping requests are deleted. But, iIn some cases requests with the same selection options need not to be deleted. My idea was to change selection options in Manage(infocube) with Abap program without changing selection options in DTP filter, so that the system would not recognize requests as "overlaping requests".
So, where is the information about shown in the field Selection Options is stored? In which tables?
Thanks

How to read a file with value of RAW data type? Please help

Hi Experts,
   I have a file with RAW data like DE864E48833BFFF1B805001CC4EF4BFA
   I am using GUI_UPLOAD.
   But this FM is throwing error.
   I tried by giving FILETYPE as ASC. The output internal table for this FM contains a field of type c size 32.
   Now it is able to read the file but I want to assign this value to a RAW data type variable.
   This it is unable to do. How to convert the char value to RAW data type?
Please help!
Thanks
Gopal

Hi,
The documentation for the function module contains an example for RAW upload.
            begin of itab,
                  raw(255) type x,
            end of itab occurs 0.
           CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
           exporting
              filetype = 'BIN'
              filename = 'C:\DOWNLOAD.BIN'
           tables
             data_tab = itab.

XSLT output file with date

Is there a way to change the Output settings for the Run Configuration of an XSLT file so that the output file contains a date/time string in its name?

From the W3C recommendation:
If the indent attribute has the value yes, then the html output method may add or remove whitespace as it outputs the result tree, so long as it does not change how an HTML user agent would render the output. The default value is yes.
as you see, you won't see a different between indent="yes" and no indent attribute, as the default is "yes". have you tried "no" to see if it does anything at all?
moreover the word may in the above sentence means the parser will do it or not...
