Native schema translator
Usage
terminated By
This looks for the native data being terminated by the string specified.
skip
This skips the specified number of bytes or characters.
Frankly, by using these four translators, you can find any piece of information in a very
complex mutilated file and map it to your canonical model. We advise you to look at the
full list of constructs and related examples in Oracle's
Native Format Builder Wizard
doc-
umentation, related to the adapter framework. Finally, if this approach doesn't work (yes,
the IBM EBCDIC encoding with all possible mixes of formats are still in use), use Java
callouts from your framework (OSB or BPEL) and implement your chopper using the
Tokenizer patterns with any extensions you need.
Summarizing this, we simply do not know how to express more the importance of a reli-
able and performing XML framework for the whole Enterprise architecture (not only
SOA). All six core frameworks rely on the robustness of Oracle XDK, but the Security
and Adapter frameworks, our gateway keepers, are explicitly responsible for maintaining
our canonical data models and reducing the number of transformations and translations.
Tip
Some complex products, such as Oracle E-Business Suite, comprise several XDKs, some-
times in different versions, as DB/XDB and the Application server can have their own in-
stances. Be careful with the complex XML constructs and transformation schemas and al-
ways pay attention to the parser you are using within your application. There may be
some problems with compatibility and definitely, the performance will be different.
