XML Import Mobile Report Publisher Error

[Neena]

hi,

I have a xml based dataaset that i want to use for mobile report. I could import the xml dataset in Mobile report Publisher but it doesn't show the correct data type. In xsd i have defined the field 'Salary' as Integer but in Mobile report publisher it is imported as Filter Field. Is it possible to change the data type direct in Mobile Report Publisher?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <xs:element name="data-set">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="record">
          <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>
              <xs:element name="Workgroup" type="xs:string" />
              <xs:element name="Salary" type="xs:integer" />
            </xs:sequence>
          </xs:complexType>
        </xs:element>
      </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>
</xs:schema>

Thanks

Hi @Neena,

It's not supported to change data type for data columns in SQL mobile report publisher. 

Based on my test, the dataset created from query below: 

<Query>
<XmlData>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <xs:element name="data-set">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="record">
          <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>
              <xs:element name="Workgroup" type="xs:string" />
              <xs:element name="Salary" type="xs:integer" />
            </xs:sequence>
          </xs:complexType>
        </xs:element>
      </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>
</xs:schema>
</XmlData>
</Query>

I didn't see the field 'Salary' as Integer. Did you use above query in shared dataset actually? What do you mean about "In xsd i have defined the field 'Salary' as Integer but in Mobile report publisher it is imported as Filter Field. "?

Hi Qiuyun Yu,

Thanks for our response.

I have used the following xml file as a shared dataset.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<data-set>
            <record>
                        <Workgroup>A</Workgroup>
                        <Salary>1000</Salary>
            </record>
            <record>
                        <Workgroup>B</Workgroup>
                        <Salary>2000</Salary>
            </record>
            <record>
                        <Workgroup>C</Workgroup>
                        <Salary>3000</Salary>
            </record>
            <record>
                        <Workgroup>D</Workgroup>
                        <Salary>4000</Salary>
            </record>
            <record>
                        <Workgroup>E</Workgroup>
                        <Salary>5000</Salary>
            </record>
            <record>
                        <Workgroup>F</Workgroup>
                        <Salary>6000</Salary>
            </record>
            <record>
                        <Workgroup>G</Workgroup>
                        <Salary>7000</Salary>
            </record>
</data-set>

I have imported the dataset into Mobile report publisher. As you see Salary can’t be used for calculation.

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks for your support.
