A Oracle Data Integrator Tools Reference

This appendix provides a reference of the Oracle Data Integrator Tools. It is intended for application developers who want to use these tools to design integration scenarios.

This appendix includes the following sections:

A.1 Using the Oracle Data Integrator Tools

Oracle Data Integrator Tools (also called Oracle Data Integrator Commands) are commands provided for performing specific tasks at run-time. These tasks may be as simple as waiting for a certain time or producing a sound, or as sophisticated as executing ANT Scripts or reading emails from a server.

They are used in Packages, in Procedure Commands, in Knowledge Modules Commands or directly from a command line.

Note:

Previous versions of Oracle Data Integrator that supported calling built-in tools from Jython or Java scripts using their internal Java classes (such as SnpsSendMail and SendMail). The usage of tools using this method is deprecated since version 10.1.3.2.0 and should be avoided.

Note:

The carriage return in a command is not allowed.

A.1.1 Using a Tool in a Package

How to add and use an Oracle Data Integrator Tool in a Package is covered in Section 10.3.1.4, "Adding Oracle Data Integrator Tool Steps".

It is possible to sequence the tools steps within the package, and organize them according to their success and failure. For more information, refer to Section 10.4, "Defining the Sequence of Steps" and Section 10.3.6, "Arranging the Steps Layout".

In a package, it possible to use directly in the tool parameters variable values, sequences or Oracle Data Integrator substitution method calls. Refer to Chapter 12, "Working with Procedures, Variables, Sequences, and User Functions" for more information.

A.1.2 Using a Tool in a Knowledge Module or a Procedure Command

How to use an Oracle Data Integrator Tool in a KM or Procedure is covered in Section 12.1, "Working with Procedures".

In a knowledge module or a procedure, it possible to use directly in the tool parameters variable values, sequences, Oracle Data Integrator substitution method calls or the results from a SELECT statement. Refer to Chapter 12, "Working with Procedures, Variables, Sequences, and User Functions" for more information.

A.1.3 Using a Tool from a Command Line

Note:

The command line scripts, which are required for performing the tasks described in this section, are only available if you have installed the Oracle Data Integrator Standalone Agent. See the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Data Integrator for information about how to install the Standalone Agent.

To use an Oracle Data Integrator Tool from a command line:

  1. Launch a Shell (UNIX), a Command Prompt (Windows).

  2. Go to the oracledi/agent/bin sub-directory of the Oracle Data Integrator installation directory.

  3. Launch the startcmd.bat (Windows) or startcmd.sh (UNIX) command, with the following syntax:

    startcmd <command_name> [<command_parameters>]*
    

    Note:

    On Windows platforms, it is necessary to surround the command arguments containing "=" signs or spaces, by using double quotes. The command call may differ from the UNIX command call. For example:
    startcmd.bat OdiSleep "-DELAY=5000" (Windows)
    ./call startcmd.sh OdiSleep -DELAY=5000 (UNIX)
    

    The <command_name> parameter is case-sensitive.

    Note:

    Certain tools require a connection to the repositories to run. Make sure that repository connection is configured in the odiparams file. See Section 4.3, "Managing Agents" for more information.

A.2 Using Open Tools

The Open Tools feature provides an extensible platform for developing custom third-party tools that you can use in Packages and Procedures. Just like the standard tools that are delivered with Oracle Data Integrator, they can interact with the operating system or manipulate data.

Open Tools are written in Java. Writing your own Open Tools is covered in Section A.4, "Developing Open Tools".

Open Tools are delivered as a Java package (.zip or .jar) containing several files:

A.2.1 Installing and Declaring an Open Tool

Before you can use an Open Tool, you need to install and add it.

A.2.1.1 Installing an Open Tool

To install an Open Tool, you must add the open tool Jar into the classpath or the component using this open tool.

Open tools Jars must be added in the same directory as the drivers for the Standalone Agent and Studio. See "Add Additional Drivers and Open Tools" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Data Integrator for more information.

For deploying an Open tool Jar with a Java EE agent, you should generate a WLS template for this agent. The open tool will appear in the Libraries and Drivers list in the Template Generation Wizard. See Section 4.3.2.1.2, "Create an WLS template for the Java EE Agent" for more information.

Note:

This operation must be performed for each ODI Studio from when the tool is being used, and for each agent that will run sessions using this tool.

A.2.1.2 Declaring a New Open Tool

This operation declares an open tool in a master repository and allows this open tool to appear in the Oracle Data Integrator Studio.

To declare a new tool, either:

  1. In the Oracle Data Integrator Studio, select the ODI menu and then select Add/Remove Open Tools.... The Add Open Tools dialog opens.

  2. Enter the name of the class in the Open Tool Class Name field of the Add/remove Open Tools dialog.

or:

  1. Click Find in the ClassPath, then browse to the name of the Open Tool's Java class. To search for the class by name, enter a part of the name in the field at the top.

  2. Click OK.

    Note that all classes currently available to Oracle Data Integrator are shown including all those which are not Open Tools. You must know the name of your class to be able to add it.

  3. Click Add Open Tool.

  4. Select the line containing your Open Tool.

    • If it was correctly found on the classpath, then the supplied icons, and its syntax, description, provider and version number are shown.

    • If it was not found, an error message is displayed.

      You should either change the classpath, or move the Open Tool to the right directory.

    Note:

    This operation must be performed only once for a given master repository.

    Note:

    An Open Tool name cannot start with Snp or Odi. An Open Tool with a name starting with these strings will be ignored.

A.2.2 Using Open Tools in a Package or Procedure

You can use Open Tools in a Package or a Procedure, similarly to the tools provided out of the box in Oracle Data Integrator.

A.3 Using the EnterpriseDataQuality Open Tool

Use the EnterpriseDataQuality Open Tool to invoke an Oracle Enterprise Data Quality (Datanomic) Job.

Requirements

The EnterpriseDataQuality Open Tool supports Oracle Enterprise Data Quality version 8.1.6 and higher.

Installation

Install and add the EnterpriseDataQuality Open Tool using the standard procedure for Open Tools. For more information, see Appendix A, "Installing and Declaring an Open Tool".

This section provides only the EnterpriseDataQuality Open Tool specific details.

The EnterpriseDataQuality Open Tool Jar is located in the ODI_HOME\oracledi.sdk\lib folder.

The Open Tool class name is:

com.oracle.OpenTools.EnterpriseDataQuality

Usage

EnterpriseDataQuality -JOB_NAME=<EDQ job name> -PROJECT_NAME=<EDQ project name>
-HOST=<EDQ server hostname> -PORT=<EDQ server JMX port> -USER=<EDQ user>
-PASSWORD=<EDQ user's password> [-SYNCHRONOUS=<yes|no>]

Note:

The EnterpriseDataQuality Open Tool can be used in a Package or a Procedure, similarly to the tools provided out of the box in Oracle Data Integrator. For more information, see Section 10.3.1.4, "Adding Oracle Data Integrator Tool Steps".

Parameters

Parameters Mandatory Description
-JOB_NAME=<EDQ job name> Yes Name of the Enterprise Data Quality Job
-PROJECT_NAME=<EDQ project name> Yes Name of the Enterprise Data Quality Project

Examples

The following command executes an Enterprise Data Quality Job called CLEANSE_CUSTOMERS located in the project named CUSTOMERS:

EnterpriseDataQuality "-JOB_NAME=CLEANSE_CUSTOMERS" "-PROJECT_NAME=CUSTOMERS"
"-HOST=machine.oracle.com" "-PORT=9005" "-USER=odi" "-PASSWORD=odi”

A.4 Developing Open Tools

An Open Tool is a Java package that contains a compiled Java class that implements the interface oracle.odi.sdk.opentools.IOpenTool. For a complete description of all the classes and methods, see the Oracle Data Integrator Open Tools API Reference (Javadoc).

An Open Tool Package should usually also contain two icons, which are used to represent the Open Tool in the Oracle Data Integrator graphical interface.

A.4.1 Classes

The following table describes Open Tool classes and interfaces.

Class or Interface Description
IOpenTool Interface that every Open Tool must implement.
OpenToolAbstract Abstraction of interface with some helper methods. Preferably extend this class rather than implementing the interface directly.
IOpenToolParameter Interface that parameters used by Open Tools must implement. In most cases, OpenToolParameter should be used rather than implementing this interface.
OpenToolParameter Complete implementation of IOpenToolParameter. Each OpenToolParameter holds one parameter.
OpenToolsExecutionException Exception class that should be thrown if necessary by Open Tool methods.
SimpleOpenToolExample A simple example of an Open Tool, that can be used as a starting point.

A.4.2 Developing a New Open Tool

The following explanation covers the development of a basic Open Tool, SimpleMessageBox. The source code for this class is available in the demo/plugins/src directory.

  1. Define the syntax. In this example, the Open Tool is called as follows:

    SimpleMessageBox "-TEXT=<text message>" "-TITLE=<window title>"
    
  2. Create 16x16 and 32x32 icons (usually in .gif format)

  3. Create and implement the class. See Section A.4.2.1, "Implementing the Class".

  4. Compile the class and create a package with the two icon files.

  5. Install and declare the Open Tool as described in Section A.2.1, "Installing and Declaring an Open Tool".

A.4.2.1 Implementing the Class

Implementing the class consists of the following steps:

  1. Declaration

  2. Importing Packages

  3. Defining the Parameters

  4. Implementing Informational Functions

  5. Execution

A.4.2.1.1 Declaration

Before you declare the class, you need to name the package.

Naming the Package

Put the class in a package named appropriately. The package name is used to identify the Open Tool when installing it.

package com.myCompany.OpenTools;

Declaring the Class

There are two basic approaches to developing an Open Tool:

  • Extending an existing class which you want to convert into an Open Tool. In this case, you should simply implement the interface IOpenTool directly on the existing class.

  • Developing a new class. In this case, it is easiest to extend the abstract class OpenToolAbstract. This also contains additional helper methods for working with parameters.

public class SimpleMessageBox extends OpenToolAbstract {

A.4.2.1.2 Importing Packages

Almost every Open Tool will need to import the following Open Tool SDK packages.

import oracle.odi.sdk.opentools.IOpenTool; /* All Open Tool classes need these three classes */

import oracle.odi.sdk.opentools.IOpenToolParameter;

import oracle.odi.sdk.opentools.OpenToolExecutionException;

import oracle.odi.sdk.opentools.OpenToolAbstract; /* The abstract class we extend for the Open Tool */

import oracle.odi.sdk.opentools.OpenToolParameter; /* The class we use for parameters */

In this particular example, we also need a package to create the message box:

import javax.swing.JOptionPane; /* Needed for the message box used in this example */
A.4.2.1.3 Defining the Parameters

Add a property to store the OpenToolParameter objects. This is used both to define them for the syntax, and to retrieve the values of the parameters from the eventual user. It is easiest to define the parameters of the Open Tool with a static array as follows. This array should be private, as it will be accessed via an accessor function.

private static final IOpenToolParameter[] mParameters = new IOpenToolParameter[]
{
    new OpenToolParameter("-TEXT", "Message text", "Text to show in the messagebox (Mandatory).", true),
    new OpenToolParameter("-TITLE", "Messagebox title", "Title of the messagebox.", false)
};

The four parameters passed to the OpenToolParameter() constructor are:

  1. The code of the parameter, including the initial hyphen. It is critical that this code corresponds to the syntax returned by getSyntax().

  2. The user-friendly name, which is used if the user is using the graphical interface to set parameters.

  3. A descriptive help text.

  4. Whether the parameter is mandatory or not. This is an indication to the user.

    Note:

    Oracle Data Integrator does not enforce the mandatory flag on parameters. Your class must be able to handle any combination of parameters being provided.

You must implement the accessor function getParameters() to retrieve them:

public IOpenToolParameter[] getParameters()
{
      return mParameters;
}
A.4.2.1.4 Implementing Informational Functions

Implement functions to return information about your Open Tool: getDescription(), getVersion(), getProvider()

public String getDescription() { return "This Open Tool displays a message box when executed."; }
public String getVersion() { return "v1.0"; }
public String getProvider() { return "My Company, Inc."; }

The getSyntax() function determines the name of the Open Tool as it appears in the Oracle Data Integrator graphical interface, and also the initial values of the parameter. Make sure the names of the parameters here match the names of the parameters returned by getParameters().

public String getSyntax()
{
        return "SimpleMessageBox \"-TEXT=<text message>\" \"-TITLE=<window title>\"";
}

The getIcon() method should then return paths to two appropriately sized images. It should look something like this:

public String getIcon(int pIconType)
{
        switch (pIconType)
        {
               case IOpenTool.SMALL_ICON:
               return "/com/myCompany/OpenTools/images/SimpleMessageBox_16.gif";
             case IOpenTool.BIG_ICON:
             return "/com/myCompany/OpenTools/images/SimpleMessageBox_32.gif";
             default:
             return "";
     }
}
A.4.2.1.5 Execution

Finally, the execute() method which actually carries out the functionality provided by the Open Tool. In this case, a message box is shown. If extending the OpenToolAbstract class, use the getParameterValue() method to easily retrieve the values of parameters as they are set at run time.

Note:

You must catch all exceptions and only raise an OpenToolExecutionException.
public void execute() throws OpenToolExecutionException
{
     try
     {
     if (getParameterValue("-TITLE") == null || getParameterValue("-TITLE").equals("")) /* title was not filled in by user */
     {
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, (String) getParameterValue("-TEXT"), (String) "Message", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
          } else
          {
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, (String) getParameterValue("-TEXT"),
                       (String) getParameterValue("-TITLE"),
                       JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
          }
     }
     /* Traps any exception and throw them as OpenToolExecutionException */
     catch (IllegalArgumentException e)
     {
          throw new OpenToolExecutionException(e);
     }
}

A.4.3 Open Tools at Run Time

In general, your Open Tool class is instantiated only very briefly. It is used in the following ways:

Installation

When the user chooses to install an Open Tool, Oracle Data Integrator instantiates the class and calls the methods getDescription(), getProvider(), getIcon() and getVersion() to retrieve information about the class.

Use in a Package

When the Open Tool is used in a package, the class will be instantiated briefly to call the methods getDescription(), getProvider(), getIcon() and getVersion(). Additionally, getSyntax() will be called to retrieve the code name of the Open Tool and its default arguments. The method getParameters() is called to display the list of arguments to the user.

Execution

Each time the Open Tool is executed in a package or procedure, the class is instantiated again - it has no persistence after its execution. The execute() method is called exactly once.

Tip:

See also Appendix A, "Using Open Tools" and Open Tools SDK documentation (JavaDoc).

  • o means is ommited

-DIR -FILE -RECURSE Behavior
x x x Every file with the name or with a name matching the mask specified in -FILE is deleted from -DIR and from all its subdirectories.
x o x The subdirectories from -FILE are deleted.
x x o Every file with the name or with a name matching the mask specified in -FILE is deleted from -DIR.
x o o The -DIR is deleted.

Usage

OdiFileDelete -DIR=<directory> | -FILE=<file> [-RECURSE=<yes|no>] [-CASESENS=<yes|no>]
[-NOFILE_ERROR=<yes|no>] [-FROMDATE=<from_date>] [-TODATE=<to_date>] 

Parameters

Parameters Mandatory Description
-DIR=<directory> Yes, if -FILE is omitted
  1. If -FILE is omitted, specifies the name of the directory (folder) to delete.
  2. If -FILE is supplied, specifies the path where files should be deleted from.

-FILE=<file> Yes, if -DIR is omitted Name or mask of file(s) to delete. If -DIR is not specified, then a full path should be given. Use * to specify wildcard characters.

-NOFILE_ERROR=<yes|no> Yes Specifies that an error should be generated if the specified directory or files are not found.
-FROMDATE=<from_date> No All Files with a modification date later than this date will be deleted. The date needs to be provided in the format yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss.

The FROM_DATE is not inclusive.

If -FROMDATE is omitted, all files with a modification date earlier than the -TODATE date will be deleted.

If both FROMDATE and TODATE parameters are omitted, all files matching the -FILE parameter value will be deleted.

-TODATE=<to_date> No All Files with a modification date earlier than this date will be deleted. The date needs to be provided in the format yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss.

The TO_DATE is not inclusive.

If -TODATE is omitted, all files with a modification date later than the -FROMDATE date will be deleted.

If both FROMDATE and TODATE parameters are omitted, all files matching the -FILE parameter value will be deleted.


Note:

It is not possible to delete a file and a directory at the same time by combining the -DIR and -FILE parameters. To achieve that, you must make two calls to OdiFileDelete.

Examples

To delete the file my_data.dat from the directory c:\data\input, generating an error if it is missing.

OdiFileDelete -FILE=c:\data\input\my_data.dat -NOFILE_ERROR=yes

To delete all .txt files from the bin directory, but not .TXT files:

OdiFileDelete "-FILE=c:\Program Files\odi\bin\*.txt" -CASESENS=yes

This statement has the same effect:

OdiFileDelete "-DIR=c:\Program Files\odi\bin" "-FILE=*.txt" -CASESENS=yes

To delete the directory /bin/usr/nothingToDoHere.

OdiFileDelete "-DIR=/bin/usr/nothingToDoHere"

To delete all files under the C:\temp directory whose modification time is between 10/01/2008 00:00:00 and 10/31/2008 22:59:00 where 10/01/2008 and 10/31/2008 are not inclusive:

OdiFileDelete -DIR=C:\temp -FILE=* -NOFILE_ERROR=NO -FROMDATE=FROMDATE=10/01/2008 00:00:00 -TODATE=10/31/2008 22:59:00

To delete all files under the C:\temp directory whose modification time is earlier than the 10/31/2008 17:00:00. An error is thrown, if the directory contains no files to delete meeting the date criteria:

OdiFileDelete -DIR=C:\temp -FILE=* -NOFILE_ERROR=YES -TODATE=10/31/2008 17:00:00

To delete all files under the C:\temp directory whose modification time is later than 10/01/2008 08:00:00:

OdiFileDelete -DIR=C:\temp -FILE=* -NOFILE_ERROR=NO -FROMDATE=10/01/2008 08:00:00

A.6.16 OdiFileWait

Use this command to manage files events. This command scans regularly a directory and waits for a number of files matching a mask to appear, until a given timeout is reached. When the specified files are found, an action on these files is triggered.

Usage

OdiFileWait -DIR=<directory> -PATTERN=<pattern>
[-ACTION=<DELETE|COPY|MOVE|APPEND|ZIP|NONE>] [-TODIR=<target_directory>]
[-TOFILE=<target_file>] [-OVERWRITE=<yes|no>] [-CASESENS=<yes|no>]
[-FILECOUNT=<n>] [-TIMEOUT=<n>] [-POLLINT=<n>] [-HEADER=<n>]
[-KEEP_FIRST_HEADER=<yes|no>] [-NOFILE_ERROR=<yes|no>]

Parameters

Parameters Mandatory Description
-ACTION=

<DELETE|COPY|MOVE|APPEND|ZIP|NONE>

No Action taken on the files found:

DELETE: Delete the files found

COPY: Copy the files found into the directory TODIR

MOVE: Move or rename the files found into folder TODIR by naming them as specified by TOFILE

APPEND: Concatenates all files found and creates a result file TOFILE. Source files are deleted.

ZIP: Zip the files found and store them into the ZIP file TOFILE

NONE: No action is performed. This is the default behaviour.

-DIR=<directory> Yes Directory (or folder) to scan
-PATTERN=<pattern> Yes Mask of filenames to scan. Use * to specify the generic characters.

Examples:

*.log (All files with the "log" extension)

arch_*.lst (All files starting with arch_ and with the extension "lst")

-TODIR=<target_directory> No Target directory of the action. When the action is:

COPY: Directory where the files are copied

MOVE: Directory where the files are moved

-TOFILE=<target_file> No Destination file(s). When the action is:

MOVE: Renaming mask of the moved files.

APPEND: Name of the file resulting from the concatenation.

ZIP: Name of the resulting ZIP file.

COPY: Renaming mask of the copied files. Renaming rules:

  • any alphanumeric character is replaced in the original filename with the alphanumeric characters specified for <target_file>.

  • '?' at -TOFILE leaves origin symbol on this position

  • '*' at -TOFILE means all remaining symbols from origin filename

-OVERWRITE=<yes|no> No Indicates if the destination file(s) will be overwritten if they exist. By default, the value is set to no

Note that if this option is used with APPEND, then the target file will only have the contents of the latest file processed.

-CASESENS=<yes|no> No Indicates if file search is case sensitive. By default, searched files are uppercase.
-FILECOUNT=<n> No Maximum number of files to wait for (default is 0). If this number is reached, the command ends.

The value 0 indicates that we wait for all files until the timeout is reached.

If this parameter is 0 and the timeout is also 0, this parameter is then forced implicitly to 1.

-TIMEOUT=<n> No Maximum waiting time in milliseconds (default is 0)

If this delay is reached, the command yields control to the following command, and this no matter what is the value of parameter FILECOUNT.

The value 0 is used to specify an infinite waiting time (wait until the maximum number of messages to read as specified in parameter FILECOUNT).

-POLLINT=<n> No Interval in milliseconds to search for new files. Default is set to 1000 (1 second), which means that Oracle Data Integrator looks for new messages every second. Files written during the OdiFileWait are taken in account only after being closed (File size unchanged) during this interval.
-HEADER=<n> No This parameter is valid only for the APPEND action.

Number of header lines to suppress from the files before concatenation. Default is no processing (0).

-KEEP_FIRST_HEADER=<yes|no> No This parameter is only valid for the action APPEND.

It is used to keep the header lines of the first file during the concatenation. Default is Yes.

-NOFILE_ERROR=<yes|no> No Indicates the behavior to have if no file is found.

The value No (default) indicates that no error must be generated if no file is found.


Examples

Wait indefinitely for file flag.txt in directory c:\events and proceed when this file is detected.

OdiFileWait -ACTION=NONE -DIR=c:\events -PATTERN=flag.txt -FILECOUNT=1
-TIMEOUT=0 -POLLINT=1000

Wait indefinitely for file flag.txt in directory c:\events and suppress this file when it is detected.

OdiFileWait -ACTION=DELETE -DIR=c:\events -PATTERN=flag.txt -FILECOUNT=1

A.6.22 OdiInvokeWebService

Use this command to invoke a web service over HTTP/HTTPS and write the response to an XML file.

This tool invokes a specific operation on a port of a web service whose description file (WSDL) URL is provided.

If this operation requires a web service request that is provided either in a request file, or directly written out in the tool call (<XML Request>). This request file can have two different formats (XML which correspons to the XML body only or SOAP which corrsponds to the full-formed SOAP envelope including a SOAP header and body) specified in the RESPONSE_FILE_FORMAT parameter. The response of the web service request is written to an XML file that can be processed afterwards in Oracle Data Integrator. If the web service operation is one-way and does not return any response, no response file is generated.

Note:

This tool replaces the OdiExecuteWebService tool.

Usage

OdiInvokeWebService -URL=<url> -PORT=<port> -OPERATION=<operation>
[<XML Request>][-REQUEST_FILE=<xml_request_file>] [-RESPONSE_MODE=<NO_FILE|NEW_FILE|FILE_APPEND>]
[-RESPONSE_FILE=<xml_response_file>] [-RESPONSE_XML_ENCODING=<charset>]
[-RESPONSE_FILE_CHARSET=<charset>] 
[-RESPONSE_FILE_FORMAT=<XML|SOAP>][-HTTP_USER=<user>]
[-HTTP_PASS=<password>] [-TIMEOUT=<timeout>]

Parameters

Parameters Mandatory Description
-URL=<url> Yes URL of the Web Service Description File (WSDL) file describing the web service.
-PORT_TYPE=<port_type> Yes Name of the WSDL port type to invoke.
-OPERATION=<operation> Yes Name of the web service operation to invoke.
<XML Request> No Request message in SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) format. This message should be provided on the line immediately following the OdiInvokeWebService call.

The request can alternately be passed via a file which location is provided with the REQUEST_FILE parameter.

-REQUEST_FILE=<xml_request_file> No Location of the XML file containing the request message in SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) format.

The request can alternately be directly written out in the tool call (<xmlRequest>).

-RESPONSE_MODE=<NO_FILE|NEW_FILE|FILE_APPEND> No Generation mode for the response file. This parameter takes the following values:
  • NO_FILE (default): No response file is generated.

  • NEW_FILE: A new response file is generated. If the file already exists, it is overwritten.

  • FILE_APPEND: The response is appended to the file. If the file does not exist, it is created.

-RESPONSE_FILE=<file> Depends The name of the result file to write. Mandatory if -RESPONSE_MODE is NEW_FILE or APPEND.
-RESPONSE_FILE_CHARSET=<charset> Depends Response file character encoding. See the table below. Mandatory if -RESPONSE_MODE is NEW_FILE or APPEND.
-RESPONSE_XML_ENCODING=<charset> Depends Character encoding that will be indicated in the XML declaration header of the response file. See the table below. Mandatory if -RESPONSE_MODE is not NO_FILE.
-RESPONSE_FILE_FORMAT=<XML|SOAP> No Format of the request and response file.
  • If XML is selected (default), the request is processed as a SOAP body. The tool adds default SOAP header and envelope content to this body before sending the request. The response is stripped from its SOAP envelope and headers and only the response's body is written to the response file.

  • If SOAP is selected, the request is processed as a full-formed SOAP envelope and is sent as is. The response is also written to the response file with no processing.

-HTTP_USER=<user> No User account authenticating on the HTTP server.
-HTTP_PASS=<password> No Password of the HTTP user.
-TIMEOUT=<timeout> No The web service request waits for a reply for this time before considering that the server will not provide a response and an error is produced. If no value is given, there is no timeout.

The following table lists some of the most common XML/Java character encoding schemes. A more complete list is available at:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html

XML Charset Java Charset
US-ASCII ASCII
UTF-8 UTF8
UTF-16 UTF-16
ISO-8859-1 ISO8859_1

Examples

The following web service call returns the capital city for a given country (the ISO country code is sent in the request). Note that the request and response format, as well as the port and operations available, are defined in the WSDL passed in the URL parameter.

OdiInvokeWebService -
-URL=http://www.oorsprong.org/websamples.countryinfo/CountryInfoService.wso
?WSDL -PORT_TYPE=CountryInfoServiceSoapType -OPERATION=CapitalCity
-RESPONSE_MODE=NEW_FILE -RESPONSE_XML_ENCODING=ISO-8859-1
"-RESPONSE_FILE=/temp/result.xml" -RESPONSE_FILE_CHARSET=ISO8859_1 -RESPONSE_FILE_FORMAT=XML
<CapitalCityRequest>
<sCountryISOCode>US</sCountryISOCode>
</CapitalCityRequest>

The generated /temp/result.xml file contains the following:

<CapitalCityResponse>
<m:CapitalCityResponse>
<m:CapitalCityResult>Washington</m:CapitalCityResult>
</m:CapitalCityResponse>
</CapitalCityResponse>

Packages

Oracle Data Integrator provides a special graphical interface for calling OdiInvokeWebService in packages. See Chapter 15, "Working with Web Services in Oracle Data Integrator" for more information.

Use this command to upload a file to a SSH server with the SFTP subsystem enabled.

Usage

OdiSftpPut -HOST=<ftp server host name> -USER=<ftp user> [-PASSWORD=<ftp user password>] -LOCAL_DIR=<local dir> [-LOCAL_FILE=<file name under the LOCAL_DIR>] -REMOTE_DIR=<remote dir on ftp host> [-REMOTE_FILE=<file name under the REMOTE_DIR>] [-PASSIVE_MODE=<yes | no>][-TIMEOUT=<time in seconds>] [-IDENTITY_FILE=<full path to the private key file of the user>] [-KNOWNHOSTS_FILE=<full path to known hosts file>][COMPRESSION=<yes|no>][-STRICT_HOSTKEY_CHECKING=<YES | NO>][-PROXY_HOST=<proxy server host name>][-PROXY_PORT=<proxy server port>][-PROXY_TYPE=<HTTP | SOCKS5>]

Parameters

Parameters Mandatory Description
-HOST=<host name of the SSH server> Yes The host name of the SSH server

Note that you can add the port number to the host name by prefixing it with a colon (:). For example: machine.oracle.com:25

If no port is specified, the port 22 is used by default.

-USER=<host name of the SSH user> Yes The user on the SSH server
-PASSWORD=<password of the SSH user> No The password of the SSH user or the passphrase of the password protected identity file. If the –IDENTITY_FILE argument is provided this value will be used as the passphrase for the password protected private key file. If the public key authentication fails then it falls back to the normal user password authentication.
-REMOTE_DIR=<dir on remote SSH Yes The directory path on the remote FTP host
-REMOTE_FILE=<file name under -REMOTE DIR> No The file name under the directory specified in the -REMOTE_DIR argument. If this argument is missing then file will be copied with the -LOCAL_FILE file name. If -LOCAL_FILE argument is also missing then the -LOCAL_DIR will be copied recursively to the -REMOTE_DIR
-LOCAL_DIR=<local dir path> Yes The directory path on the local machine
-LOCAL_FILE=<local file> No The file name under the directory specified in the -LOCAL_DIR argument. If this argument is missing then all the files and directories under the -LOCAL_DIR will be copied recursively to the -REMOTE_DIR.

To filter the files to be copied use * to specify the generic characters.

Examples:

  • *.log (All files with the "log" extension)

  • arch_*.lst (All files starting with arch_ and with the extension "lst")

-IDENTITY_FILE=<full path to the private key file of the user> No The private key file of the local user. If this argument is specified then public key authentication is done. The –PASSWORD argument is used as the password for the password protected private key file. If the authentication fails then it falls back to the normal user password authentication.
-KNOWNHOSTS_FILE=<full path to the known hosts file on the local machine> No The full path to the Known_Hosts file on the local machine. The Known_Hosts file contains the host keys of all the Remote machines that the user trusts. If this argument is missing then the <user home dir>/.ssh/Known_hosts file is used as the Known_Hosts file if it exists.
-COMPRESSION=<yes|no> No Set to Yes if you want data compression to be used. Default is No.
-STRICT_HOSTKEY_CHECKING=<YES|NO> No This argument can take YES | NO values. If YES value is passed then strict hostkey checking is done and the authentication fails if the remote SSH host key is not present in the Known Hosts file specified in the –KNOWNHOSTS_FILE parameter. The default value is YES.
-PROXY_HOST No The host name of the Proxy server to be used for connection.
-PROXY_PORT No The port number of the Proxy server.
-PROXY_TYPE No The type of the Proxy server to which you are connecting. It can only take HTTP | SOCKS5 values.
-TIMEOUT=<timeout value> No The time in seconds after which the socket connection will timeout.

-POLL_INT=<polling_interval> No Interval in seconds between each sequence of termination tests for the child sessions. Default value is 1.
-SESSION_NAME_FILTER=<session_name_filter> No Only the child sessions which names match this filter are tested. This filter can be a SQL LIKE-formatted pattern.
-SESSION_KEYWORDS=<session_keywords> No Only child sessions for which ALL keywords have match in this comma-separated list are tested. Each element of the list can be a SQL LIKE-formatted pattern.
-MAX_CHILD_ERROR= ALL | <error_number> No This parameter enables OdiWaitForChildSession to terminate in error if a number of child sessions have terminated in error:
  • ALL: Error if all child sessions have terminated in error.

  • <error_number>: Error if <error_number> or more child sessions have terminated in error.

If this parameter is equal to zero, negative or not specified, OdiWaitForChildSession never terminates in an error status, regardless of the number of failing child sessions.


Examples

Waits, with a polling interval of 5 seconds, for all the child sessions of the current session named like "LOADxxx" and having the keywords "MANDATORY" and "CRITICAL", to be finished

OdiWaitForChildSession -PARENT_SESS_NO=<%=odiRef.getSession("SESS_NO")%>
-POLL_INT=5 -SESSION_NAME_FILTER=LOAD%
-SESSION_KEYWORDS=MANDATORY,CRITICAL

A.6.50 OdiWaitForData

Use this command to wait for a number of rows in a table or a set of tables. This can also be applied to a number of objects containing data, such as views.

The OdiWaitForData command tests that a table, or a set of tables, has been populated with a number of records. This test is repeated at regular intervals (-POLLINT) until one of the following conditions is fulfilled: the desired number of rows for one of the tables has been detected (-UNIT_ROWCOUNT), the desired, cumulated number of rows for all of the tables has been detected (-GLOBAL_ROWCOUNT), or a timeout (-TIMEOUT) has been reached.

Filters may be applied to the set of counted rows. They are specified by an explicit SQL where clause (-SQLFILTER) and / or the -RESUME_KEY_xxx parameters to determine field-value-operator clause. These two methods are cumulative (AND).

The row count may be considered either in absolute terms (with respect to the total number of rows in the table) or in differential terms (the difference between a stored reference value and the current row count value).

When dealing with multiple tables:

  • the -SQLFILTER and -RESUME_KEY_xxx parameters apply to ALL tables concerned.

  • the -UNIT_ROWCOUNT parameter determines the row count to be expected for each one of the particular tables. The -GLOBAL_ROWCOUNT parameter determines the SUM of the row count number cumulated over the set of tables. When only 1 table is concerned, the -UNIT_ROWCOUNT and -GLOBAL_ROWCOUNT parameters are equivalent.

Usage

OdiWaitForData -LSCHEMA=<logical_schema> -TABLE_NAME=<table_name>
[-OBJECT_TYPE=<list of object types>] [-CONTEXT=<context>]
[-RESUME_KEY_VARIABLE=<resumeKeyVariable> 
-RESUME_KEY_COL=<resumeKeyCol>
[-RESUME_KEY_OPERATOR=<resumeKeyOperator>]|-SQLFILTER=<SQLFilter>]
[-TIMEOUT=<timeout>] [-POLLINT=<pollInt>] 
[-GLOBAL_ROWCOUNT=<globalRowCount>]
[-UNIT_ROWCOUNT=<unitRowCount>] [-TIMEOUT_WITH_ROWS_OK=<yes|no>]
[-INCREMENT_DETECTION=<no|yes> [-INCREMENT_MODE=<M|P|I>]
[-INCREMENT_SEQUENCE_NAME=<incrementSequenceName>]]

Parameters

Parameters Mandatory Description
-LSCHEMA=<logical_schema> Yes Logical schema containing the tables.
-TABLE_NAME=<table_name> Yes Table name, mask or list of table names to check. This parameter accepts three formats :
  • Table Name.

  • Table Name Mask: This mask selects the tables to poll. The mask is specified using the SQL LIKE syntax : the % symbol replaces an unspecified number of characters and the _ symbol is a single character wildcard.

  • Table Names List: Comma separated list of table names. Masks as defined above are allowed.

-OBJECT_TYPE=<list of object types> No Type of objects that are checked. By default, only tables are checked. To take into account other objects, specify a comma-separated list of object types. Supported object types are:
  • T: Table

  • V: View

-CONTEXT=<context> No Context in which the logical schema will be resolved. If no context is specified, the execution context is used.
-SQLFILTER=<SQLFilter> No Explicit SQL Filter to be applied to the table(s). This statement must be valid for the technology containing the checked tables.

Note that this statement must not include the WHERE keyword.

-RESUME_KEY_VARIABLE=<resumeKeyVariable>

-RESUME_KEY_COL=<resumeKeyCol>

[-RESUME_KEY_OPERATOR=<resumeKeyOperator>]

No The RESUME_KEY_xxx parameters allow filtering of the set of counted rows in the polled tables.
  • <key_column>: Name of a column in the checked table.

  • <operator>: Valid comparison operator for the technology containing the checked tables. If this parameter is omitted, the value ">" is used by default.

  • <variable_name>: Variable name whose value has been previously set. The variable name must be prefixed with ":" (bind) or "#" (substitution). The variable scope should be explicitly stated in the Oracle Data Integrator syntax; GLOBAL.<variable name> for global variables or <project code>.<variable name> for project variables.

-TIMEOUT=<timeout> No Maximum period of time in milliseconds over which data is polled. If this value is equal to zero, the timeout is infinite. Defaults to 0.
-POLLINT=<pollInt> No The period of time in milliseconds to wait between data polls. Defaults to 1000.
-UNIT_ROWCOUNT=<unitRowCount> No Number of rows expected in a polled table to terminate the command. Defaults to 1.
-GLOBAL_ROWCOUNT=<globalRowCount> No Total number of rows expected cumulatively, over the set of tables, to terminate the command. If not specified, the default value 1 is used.
-INCREMENT_DETECTION=<no|yes> No Defines the mode in which the command considers row count: either in absolute terms (with respect to the total number of rows in the table) or in differential terms (the difference between a stored reference value and the current row count value).
  • If set to yes, the row count is performed in differential mode. The number of additional rows in the table is compared to a stored reference value. The reference value depends on the INCREMENT_MODE parameter.

  • If set to no, the count is performed in absolute row count mode.

Defaults to no.

-INCREMENT_MODE=<M|P|I> No This parameter specifies the persistence mode of the reference value between successive OdiWaitForData calls.

Possible values are:

  • M: Memory. The reference value is non-persistent. When OdiWaitForData is called, the reference value takes a value equal to the number of rows in the polled table. When OdiWaitForData ends the value is lost. A following call in this mode sets a new reference value.

  • P: Persistent. The reference value is persistent. It is read from the increment sequence when OdiWaitForData starts and saved in the increment sequence when OdiWaitForData ends. If the increment sequence is not set (at initial call time) the current table row count is used.

  • I: Initial. The reference value is initialized and is persistent. When OdiWaitForData starts, the reference value takes a value equal to the number of rows in the polled table. When OdiWaitForData ends, it is saved in the increment sequence as for the persistent mode.

Defaults to M.

Note that using the Persistent or Initial modes is not supported when a mask or list of tables is polled.

-INCREMENT_SEQUENCE_NAME=<incrementSequenceName> No This parameter specifies the name of an automatically allocated storage space used for reference value persistence. This increment sequence is stored in the Repository. If this name is not specified, it takes the name of the table.

Note that this Increment Sequence is not an Oracle Data Integrator Sequence and cannot be used as such outside a call to OdiWaitForData.

-TIMEOUT_WITH_ROWS_OK=<yes|no> No If this parameter is set to Y, at least one row was detected and the timeout occurs before the expected number of rows has been inserted, then the API exits with a return code of 0. Otherwise, it will signal an error. Defaults to Yes.

Examples

Waits for the DE1P1 table in the ORA_WAITFORDATA schema to contain 200 records matching the filter.

OdiWaitForData -LSCHEMA=ORA_WAITFORDATA -TABLE_NAME=DE1P1
-GLOBAL_ROWCOUNT=200 "-SQLFILTER=DATMAJ >
to_date('#MAX_DE1_DATMAJ_ORACLE_CHAR', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')"

Wait for a maximum of 4 hours for new data to appear in either the CITY_SRC or the CITY_TRG table in the SQLSRV_SALES.

OdiWaitForData LSCHEMA=SQLSRV_SALES TABLE_NAME=CITY%
-TIMEOUT=14400000 -INCREMENT_DETECTION=yes

A.6.51 OdiWaitForLogData

Use this command to wait for a number of modifications to occur on a journalized table or a list of journalized tables.

The OdiWaitForLogData command determines whether rows have been modified on a table or a group of tables. These changes are detected using the Oracle Data Integrator changed data capture (CDC) in simple mode (using the -TABLE_NAME parameter) or in consistent mode (using the -CDC_SET_NAME parameter). The test is repeated every -POLLINT milliseconds until one of the following conditions is fulfilled: the desired number of row modifications for one of the tables has been detected (-UNIT_ROWCOUNT), the desired cumulative number of row modifications for all of the tables has been detected (-GLOBAL_ROWCOUNT), or a timeout (-TIMEOUT) has been reached.

Note:

This command takes into account all journalized operations (inserts, updates and deletes).

The command is suitable for journalized tables only in simple or consistent mode.

Usage

OdiWaitForLogData -LSCHEMA=<logical_schema>  -SUBSCRIBER_NAME=<subscriber_name>
(-TABLE_NAME=<table_name> | -CDC_SET_NAME=<cdcSetName>)
[-CONTEXT=<context>] [-TIMEOUT=<timeout>] [-POLLINT=<pollInt>]

  • AUTO: If more than one table is checked, the optimized method is used. Otherwise, the non-optimized method is used.

Defaults to AUTO.

-POLLINT=<pollInt> No The period of time in milliseconds to wait between polls. Defaults to 2000.
-SUBSCRIBER_NAME=<subscriber_name> Yes Name of the subscriber used to get the journalizing information.
-TABLE_NAME=<table_name> Yes Journalized table name, mask or list to check. This parameter accepts three formats :

  • Table Name Mask: This mask selects the tables to poll. The mask is specified using the SQL LIKE syntax : the % symbol replaces an unspecified number of characters and the _ symbol acts as a wildcard.

  • Table Names List: List of table names separated by commas. Masks a defined above are not allowed.

Note that this option works only for tables in a model journalized in simple mode.

This parameter cannot be used with CDC_SET_NAME. It is mandatory if CDC_SET_NAME. is not set.

-CDC_SET_NAME=<cdcSetName> Yes Name of the CDC Set to check. This CDC Set name is the fully qualified model code, typically PHYSICAL_SCHEMA_NAME.MODEL_CODE.

It can be obtained in the current context using a substitution method API call, as shown below: <%=odiRef.getObjectName("L", "model_code", "logical_schema", "D")%>.

Note that this option works only for tables in a model journalized in consistent mode.

This parameter cannot be used with TABLE_NAME. IT is mandatory if TABLE_NAME is not set.

-TIMEOUT=<timeout> No Maximum period of time in milliseconds over which changes are polled. If this value is equal to zero, the timeout is infinite. Defaults to 0.
-TIMEOUT_WITH_ROWS_OK=<yes|no> No If this parameter is set to yes, at least one row was detected and the timeout occurs before the pre-defined number of rows has been polled, then the API exits with a return code of 0. Otherwise, it will signal an error. Defaults to yes.
-UNIT_ROWCOUNT=<unitRowCount> No Number of changes expected in one of the polled tables to end the command. Defaults to 1.

Note that -UNIT_ROWCOUNT is not taken into account with -CDC_SET_NAME.


Examples

Wait for the CUSTOMERS table in the SALES_APPLICATION schema to have 200 row modifications recorded for the SALES_SYNC subscriber.

OdiWaitForLogData -LSCHEMA=SALES_APPLICATION
-TABLE_NAME=CUSTOMERS -GLOBAL_ROWCOUNT=200
-SUBSCRIBER_NAME=SALES_SYNC

A.6.52 OdiWaitForTable

Use this command to wait for a table to be created and populated with a pre-defined number of rows.

The OdiWaitForTable command regularly tests wether the specified table has been created and that it has been populated with a number of records. The test is repeated every -POLLINT milliseconds until one of the following conditions is fulfilled: the table exists and contains the desired number of rows (-GLOBAL_ROWCOUNT), or a timeout (-TIMEOUT) has been reached.

Usage

OdiWaitForTable -CONTEXT=<context> -LSCHEMA=<logical_schema>
-TABLE_NAME=<table_name> [-TIMEOUT=<timeout>] [-POLLINT=<pollInt>]
[-GLOBAL_ROWCOUNT=<globalRowCount>]
[-TIMEOUT_WITH_ROWS_OK=<yes|no>]

Parameters

Parameters Mandatory Description
-CONTEXT=<context> No Context in which the Logical Schema will be resolved. If no Context is specified, the execution context is used.
-GLOBAL_ROWCOUNT=<globalRowCount> No Total number of rows expected in the table to terminate the command. Defaults to 1. If not specified, the command will finish when a new row is inserted into the table.
-LSCHEMA=<logical_schema> Yes Logical schema in which the table is searched for.
-POLLINT=<pollInt> No The period of time in milliseconds to wait between each test. Defaults to 1000.
-TABLE_NAME=<table_name> Yes Name of table to search for.
-TIMEOUT=<timeout> No Maximum period of time in milliseconds over which the table is searched for. If this value is equal to zero, the timeout is infinite. Defaults to 0.
-TIMEOUT_WITH_ROWS_OK=<yes|no> No If this parameter is set to yes, at least one row was detected and the timeout occurs before the expected number of records is detected, then the API exits with a return code of 0. Otherwise, it will signal an error. Defaults to Yes.

Examples

Waits for the DE1P1 table in the ORA_WAITFORDATA schema to exist, and to containing at least 1 record.

OdiWaitForTable -LSCHEMA=ORA_WAITFORDATA -TABLE_NAME=DE1P1
-GLOBAL_ROWCOUNT=1

A.6.53 OdiXMLConcat

Use this command to concatenate elements from multiple XML files into a single file.

This tool extracts all instances of a given element from a set of source XML files and concatenates them into one target XML file.This tool parses and generates well formed XML. It does not modify or generate a DTD for the generated files. A reference to an existing DTD can be specified in the HEADER parameter or preserved from the original files using the -KEEP_XML_PROLOGUE.

Note:

XML Namespaces are not supported by this tool. Please provide the local part of element name (without namespace nor prefix value) in the -ELEMENT_NAME parameter.

Usage

OdiXMLConcat -FILE=<file_filter> -TOFILE=<target_file> -XML_ELEMENT=<element_name> [-CHARSET_ENCODING=<encoding>] IF_FILE_EXISTS=<overwrite|skip|error>] [-KEEP_XML_PROLOGUE=<all|xml|doctype|none>] [-HEADER=<header>] [-FOOTER=<footer>]

Parameters

Parameters Mandatory Description
-FILE=<file_filter> Yes Filter for the source XML files. This filter uses standard file wildcards (?,*). It includes both file names and directory names. It is possible to take source files from a same folder or from different folders.

The following file filters are valid:

  • /tmp/files_*/customer.xml

  • /tmp/files_*/*.*

  • /tmp/files_??/customer.xml

  • /tmp/files/customer_*.xml

  • /tmp/files/customer_??.xml

-TOFILE=<target_file> Yes Target file into which the elements are concatenated.
-XML_ELEMENT=<element_name> Yes Local name of the XML element (without enclosing <> characters, without prefix nor namespace information) to be extracted with its content and child elements from the source files.

Note that this element detection is not recursive. If a given instance of <element_name> contains other instances of <element_name>, only the element of higher level will be taken into account and child elements will only be extracted as a part of the top element's content.

-CHARSET_ENCODING=<encoding> No Target files encoding. Default value is ISO-8859-1. There is a full list of supported encodingss at the following URL: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html
-IF_FILE_EXISTS=<overwrite|skip|error> No Define behavior when the target file exists.
  • overwrite: overwrite the target file if exists

  • skip: do nothing for this file

  • error: raise an error

-KEEP_XML_PROLOGUE=<all|xml|doctype|none> No Copies the source file XML prologue in the target file. Depending on this parameter's value, the following parts of the XML prologue are preserved:
  • all: copies all the prologue (XML and document type declaration)

  • xml: copies only the XML declaration <?xml...?> and not the Document type declaration.

  • doctype: copies only the document type declaration (not the XML declaration)

  • none: does not copy the prologue from the source file.

Note: If all or a part of the prologue is not preserved, it should be specified in the HEADER parameter.

-HEADER=<header> No String that is appended after the prologue (if any) in each target file. You can use this parameter to create a customized XML prologue or root element.
-FOOTER=<footer> No String that is appended at the end of each target file. You can use this parameter to close a root element added in the header.

Examples

The following examples concatenate the content of the IDOC elements in the files called ord1.xml, ord2.xml, etc, in the ord_i sub-folder into the file called MDSLS.TXT.XML, with a root element called <WMMBID02> added to the target.

OdiXMLConcat "-FILE=./ord_i/ord*.xml" "-TOFILE=./MDSLS.TXT.XML" -XML_ELEMENT=IDOC "-CHARSET_ENCODING=UTF-8" -IF_FILE_EXISTS=overwrite -KEEP_XML_PROLOGUE=xml "-HEADER=<WMMBID02>" "-FOOTER=</WMMBID02>"

OdiXMLConcat "-FILE=./o?d_*/ord*.xml" "-TOFILE=./MDSLS.TXT.XML" -XML_ELEMENT=IDOC "-CHARSET_ENCODING=UTF-8" -IF_FILE_EXISTS=overwrite -KEEP_XML_PROLOGUE=none "-HEADER=<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<WMMBID02>" "-FOOTER=</WMMBID02>"

The following example concatenates the EDI elements of the files called ord1.xml, ord2.xml, etc that are in the ord_i sub-folder, into the file called MDSLS2.XML. This file will have a new root element called EDI_BATCH above all <EDI> elements.

OdiXMLConcat "-FILE=./o?d_?/ord*.xml" "-TOFILE=./MDSLS2.XML" -XML_ELEMENT=EDI "-CHARSET_ENCODING=UTF-8" -IF_FILE_EXISTS=overwrite -KEEP_XML_PROLOGUE=xml "-HEADER= <EDI_BATCH>" "-FOOTER=</EDI_BATCH>"

A.6.54 OdiXMLSplit

Use this command to split elements from an XML file into several files.

This tool extracts all instances of a given element stored in a source XML file and splits it over several target XML files.This tool parses and generates well formed XML. It does not modify or generate a DTD for the generated files. A reference to an existing DTD can be specified in the HEADER parameter or preserved from the original files using the -KEEP_XML_PROLOGUE.

Note:

XML Namespaces are not supported by this tool. Please provide the local part of element name (without namespace nor prefix value) in the -ELEMENT_NAME parameter.

Usage

OdiXMLSplit -FILE=<file> -TOFILE=<file_pattern> -XML_ELEMENT=<element_name> [-CHARSET_ENCODING=<encoding>] [-IF_FILE_EXISTS=<overwrite|skip|error>] [-KEEP_XML_PROLOGUE=<all|xml|doctype|none>] [-HEADER=<header>] [-FOOTER=<footer>]

Parameters

Parameters Mandatory Description
-FILE=<file> Yes Source XML File to split
-TOFILE=<file_pattern> Yes File pattern for the target files. Each file is named after a pattern containing a mask representing a generated number sequence or the value of an attribute of the XML element used to perform the split:
  • Number Sequence Mask: Use the "*" (star) value to indicate the place of the file number value. For example, if the <file_ pattern> is equal to target_*.xml, then the files created will be named target_1.xml, target_2.xml, and so on.

  • Attribute Value Mask: Specify between square brackets the name of the attribute of <element_name> which value should be pushed to create in the file name. For example, customer_[CUSTID].xml would create files named customer_041.xml, customer_123.xml, etc. depending on the value of the attribute CUSTID of the element used to split. Note that if a value repeats over several successive elements, target files may be overwritten according to the value of the OVERWRITE parameter.

Note that pattern can be used for creating different files within a directory or files in different directories. The following patterns are valid:

  • /tmp/files_*/customer.xml

  • /tmp/files_[CUSTID]/customer.xml

  • /tmp/files/customer_*.xml

  • /tmp/files/customer_[CUSTID].xml

-XML_ELEMENT=<element_name> Yes Local name of the XML element (without enclosing <> characters, without prefix nor namespace information) to be extracted with its content and child elements from the source files.

Note that this element detection is not recursive. If a given instance of <element_name> contains other instances of <element_name>, only the element of higher level will be taken into account and child elements will only be extracted as a part of the top element's content.

-CHARSET_ENCODING=<encoding> No Target files encoding. Default value is ISO-8859-1. There is a full list of supported encodingss at the following URL: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html
-IF_FILE_EXISTS=<overwrite|skip|error> No Define behavior when the target file exists.
  • overwrite: overwrite the target file if exists

  • skip: do nothing for this file

  • error: raise an error

-KEEP_XML_PROLOGUE=<all|xml|doctype|none> No Copies the source file XML prologue in the target file. Depending on this parameter's value, the following parts of the XML prologue are preserved:
  • all: copies all the prologue (XML and document type declaration)

  • xml: copies only the XML declaration <?xml...?> and not the Document type declaration.

  • doctype: copies only the document type declaration (not the XML declaration)

  • none: does not copy the prologue from the source file.

Note: If all or a part of the prologue is not preserved, it should be specified in the HEADER parameter.

-HEADER=<header> No String that is appended after the prologue (if any) in each target file. You can use this parameter to create a customized XML prologue or root element.
-FOOTER=<footer> No String that is appended at the end of each target file. You can use this parameter to close a root element added in the header.

Examples

The following example splits the file called MDSLS.TXT.XML into several files. One file called ord1.xml, ord2.xml, ... is created and contains each instance of the IDOC element contained in the source file.

OdiXMLSplit "-FILE=./MDSLS.TXT.XML" "-TOFILE=./ord_i/ord*.xml" -XML_ELEMENT=IDOC "-CHARSET_ENCODING=UTF-8" -IF_FILE_EXISTS=overwrite -KEEP_XML_PROLOGUE=xml "-HEADER= <WMMBID02>" "-FOOTER= </WMMBID02>"

The following example splits the file called MDSLS.TXT.XML the same way as the example above except that the files are named using the value of the BEGIN attribute of the IDOC element that is being split. The XML prologue is not preserved in this example but entirely generated in the header.

OdiXMLSplit "-FILE= ./MDSLS.TXT.XML" "-TOFILE=./ord_i/ord[BEGIN].xml" -XML_ELEMENT=IDOC "-CHARSET_ENCODING=UTF-8" -IF_FILE_EXISTS=overwrite -KEEP_XML_PROLOGUE=none "-HEADER= <?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<WMMBID02>" "-FOOTER=</WMMBID02>"

[-ENCODING=<file_name_encoding>]

Parameters

Parameters Mandatory Description
-DIR=<directory> Yes, if FILE not specified Base directory (or folder) that will be the future root in the ZIP file to generate. If only -DIR and not -FILE is specified, all files under this directory will be zipped.
-FILE=<file> Yes, if DIR not specified Path from the base directory of the file(s) to archive. If only specify -FILE and not -DIR is specified, the default directory is the current work directory if the -FILE path is relative.

Use * to specify the generic characters.

-RECURSE=<yes|no> No Indicates if the archiving is recursive in the case of a directory that contains other directories. The value no indicates that only the files contained in the directory to copy (without the sub-folders) will be archived.
-CASESENS=<yes|no> No Indicates if file search is case sensitive. By default, Oracle Data Integrator searches files in uppercases.
-ENCODING=<file_name_encoding> No Character encoding to use for filenames inside the archive file.

Supported encodings are available at the following URL:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html

Defaults to the platform's default character encoding.
