  • How to import the xml file into bcc?

    My input to atg file is xml containing assets of category or products.

    I want the Scheduler to run to auto create a project and send an e-mail to the customer for approval.

    When the client approves the xml file, and then run the Scheduler to get the data from the xml file into bcc.

    I use: SingletonSchedulableService for this

    Give me a direction for the same thing.

    Thanks in advance.

    I want to implement this in bcc.

    What listener will listen to the authorization of the client for email (that contains the XML to import) we sent to him?

    You will need to do a custom development to hang your workflow customized with incoming e-mail. To send notifications by mail electronic action is already there, and while creating his element within the ACC, you can specify a JSP page for the email template. You can view the rest of the relevant documents:

    Oracle, Web ATG Commerce - Workflows

    Oracle, ATG trade Web - action workflow items

    I recommend you to consult the existing source of DeploymentEmailer in \Publishing\samples\Java and see different types of DeploymentEvent and States can be used, based on your requirement in your custom component. See also these API javadocs for the process and the events of deployment available:

    DeploymentEvent (ATG Java API)

    DeploymentServer (ATG Java API)

    ATG has a component/atg/dynamo/service/POP3Service to retrieve messages from a POP3 e-mail server, but it is mainly used to detect the bounced email. Not too sure if it helps or adjustment in your case, but still you can go through all the details to know what is already there:

    Bounced from Oracle ATG Web Commerce - E-mail

    You can also check the event InboundEmail and API javadocs for InboundEmailMessage which are used in this function of rebound detection E-mail:

    Oracle, ATG trade Web - InboundEmail event

    InboundEmailMessage (ATG Java API)

    Now based on all this, if you extend and customize a lot of things, that it would be little complex and tedious detect mail incoming approval based on its content and then advance your workflow. Another approach may be to put a URL in the e-mail template of your notification by e-mail that the approver will click and on the landing page, you can authenticate and advance your workflow to the needs.

    I load this XML data file into a single table using an external Table. Could someone help me please with coding.

    Thank you

    Reva

    Could you please help me how to insert my XML content into that.

    Same as before, try a plain old INSERT:

    insert into xml_pecos

    values)

    XmlType (bfilename ('XML_DIR', "test.xml"), nls_charset_id ('AL32UTF8'))

    );

    But you'll probably hit the same limitation as with the binary XMLType table.

    In this case, you can use FTP to load the file as a resource in the XML DB repository.

    If the XML schema has been registered with the hierarchy enabled then the file will be automatically inserted into the table.

    Could you post the exact statement that you used to save the scheme?

    In the meantime, you can also read this article, I did a few years ago, it covers the XML DB features that may be useful here, including details on how to load the file via FTP:

    https://odieweblog.WordPress.com/2011/11/23/Oracle-XML-DB-a-practical-example/

    My sample_tbl has a start_time field and its data type DATE.

    Good.  Be sure to always store dates as the DATE.

    The application (in this case, APEX) needs to format the date date type in the appropriate human-readable format.

    The problem with the incoming data is the 't'.  You will need to convert a space using REPLACE() in the framework so that your SELECT statement

    From there on, conversion to the DATE data type is simply

    to_date( replace( start_time_str, 'T', ' '), 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') as start_time
    

    And, just in case where, the conversion of DATE for the desired format:

    to_char( start_time, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH12:MI:SS AM')
    

    Although, I'm 'hours' as being left-padded with zeros... Am I looking for how / if you can get rid of the zero prefix (0).

    You can always do customization to work with the properties defined in a XML xquery. The key to this is to use the customization of reference instead of find and replace the customization, similar to the service account customizations.
    Keep your real estate to as properties_dev of env xquery specific xmls, properties_sit etc then apply customization of service proxy xquery reference reference specific correct env.

  • Problem with the date when you load the XML file into Oracle Database 10g

    Hi all

    I have the interface as shown in the screenshot below. In this document, among other things, I am mapping to an element XML file representing a date to an Oracle table column defined as DATE. The source and target columns are highlighted in the screenshot.

    ! http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/1565/odiscr275.jpg!

    When I run the interface, I get the following error message:

    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException to java.sql.Date.valueOf(Date.java:103)

    I guess that this is the conversion of the date!

    I already tried to replace SRC_TRADES. DEAL_DATE with TO_DATE (SRC_TRADES. DEAL_DATE, ' DD/MM/YYYY') on the implementation tab. This feature was not recognized when I executed the interface, so it did not work! The value of date in the XML file is in the format DD/MM/YYYY .

    I guess that Date SQL Oracle functions do not work in the implementation tab. Could someone let me know:

    1. what the Date Conversion function I could use instead?
    2. where can I find a reference to the methods/functions that I use in the implementation tab (if such a reference exists)?

    See you soon.

    James

    Hello.

    Try changing the area of execution at the staging area. Once you change it, write in the map box just SRC_TRADERS. DEAL_DATE. When you use TO_DATE, the source field typu should be varchar2, no date (as it is in store for your data source)

            x2.remarks
     from xmltable(
      '/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
      passing acct_doc
      columns header_no      for ordinality,
              status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
              status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
     ) x1,
     xmltable(
      '$d/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS[$hn]/DETAIL'
      passing acct_doc as "d",
              x1.header_no as "hn"
      columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
              remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS'
     ) x2
     ;
    
    END;
    

    All first (alias X 1) retrieves all headers in separate lines. The HEADER_NO generated column is used to keep track of the position of the header into the document.
    Then, we join a second XMLTable (X 2), passing HEADER_NO, so that we can access the corresponding items in DETAIL.

    (2) reading with one XMLTable, but somewhat more complex XQuery:

    DECLARE
    
     acct_doc xmltype := xmltype( bfilename('TEST_DIR','acct.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8') );
    
    BEGIN
    
     insert into xxrp_acct_details (status_code, status_remarks, segment_number, remarks)
     select x.*
     from xmltable(
      'for $i in /ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER
       return
        for $j in $i/following-sibling::DETAILS[1]/DETAIL
        return element r {$i, $j}'
      passing acct_doc
      columns status_code    number        path 'HEADER/STATUS_CODE',
              status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'HEADER/STATUS_REMARKS',
              segment_number number        path 'DETAIL/SEGMENT_NUMBER',
              remarks        varchar2(100) path 'DETAIL/REMARKS'
     ) x
     ;
    
    END;
    

    Here, we use an XQuery query to extract the information that we need.
    Basically it's the same logic as above, but with two nested loops which access each header, then each RETAIL location immediately after in the order of the documents.

    Here is the link to the documentation XMLTable and XQuery in Oracle:

  • import the .pst file into Thunderbird that contains the addresses of exported Outlook

    I have a .pst on my PC file exported from Outlook that contains all my addresses. How to import in Thunderbird?

    I tried earlier import Addressen Outlook into Thunderbird address book, but it does not invite:

    There is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot meet demand for Messaging. Outlook has been at this point in time, my e-mail defauls client.

    I hope I made myself understood

    The usual method:
    set Outlook as the default e-mail client

    then in thundrbird:
    Tools > import
    Select: address books and click Next
    Select: Outlook and click Next

    Otherwise:
    In Outlook
    Export the address book to a .csv file

    Then in Thunderbird
    Tools > import
    Select: address books and click Next
    Select: text file (Ldif, .tabtable, .csv, .txt) and click Next
    Find the registered .csv file and click Open
    You may need to map the fields.
