Conversion of ABAP struct to XML and XML back to ABAP structure in ECC

We would like to convert many ABAP structure and internal tables into an XML string and later on convert these XML strings back to ABAP structures and internal tables. Can someone let us know if there are any function modules in ECC which can import the structures or internal tables and export the XML. Also if there are any function modules which can do the reverse i.e. import the XML string and convert it back to Structure or internal table.
We found the some method called "Call transformation" but it gives an error such as version not active. CRM has FMs which do these functionalities.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks.

If you look into the FM's BANK_API_PP_UT_DATA_TO_XML and BANK_API_PP_UT_XML_TO_DATA they again use CALL TRANSFORMATION, so probably u might have to figure how to eliminate the errors ur getting using CALL TRANSFORMATION.

Calling transaction iview and coming back to abap iview

Hello all,
Is it possible to call a transaction iview from abap webdynpro application iview and come back to it after we are finishing running the transaction? I know I can use the navigate_absolute method to call the transaction iview but i want to know if we can come back to the original abap iview, which called this transaction iview.
resume suspend is not an option since they do not work in portal as per the sap help.

How to Convert internal table data into xml and xml data into internal tab

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement that i have to convert the internal table data into xml format and viceversa . for my requirement i came to know that i have to use Transformations concept. i done the converting the data from internal table into xml data by using standard Tranformations. My Question is
1) Can i use same Transformation to convert the xml data into abap internal table. if it is possible then how ???
2) Is it possible using the standard Transformation or I have to go for XSLT approach
Please help me out from this guys,
Thanks and Regards
Koti

Hi Koti,
This is possible. There is a link. With the help of this link you can convert ABAP data to XML and vice versa.

Defining XSLT from Abap to XML and XML to Abap (Internal Table)

Hi Experts, I need help with this XSLT for call transformation. I have defined an internal table and intend to use it as a source for Call Tranformation. But I have a Problem defining its XSLT and help would be greatly appreciated! I also wonder if this XSLT can be used for XML to internal table? Or do I have to define another XSLT again.... Hope to hear from any of u soon!

Retrieve XML,store as a file, update data in XML and insert back. Possible?

Hello,
I have XML records stored in the DB. Now I want to retrieve XML as a file to my local system, edit the data values for some element nodes, child nodes and re-insert that xml in its earlier place..
Is this possible?
If yes, can u pls tell me how to do it.
I tried using WebDAV, but I guess its not working in my machine.
Also, I dont want to update the xml record directly using UPDATE command. I want to retrieve as a file, store in a local system, and then update that entry in the DB.
Thanks in advance, and your help is appreciated.
Regards,
Athar

Which database version are you using
What is the output of lsnrctl status
The easiest way to do this will be use WebDAV or FTP. However if not getting the data out as a file will require some coding work. Getting it back is fairly easy, use a bfile

Using JCo : IDoc to XML and XML to IDoc

Hey guys,
I need some guidance on Creating an xml file out of an IDoc using JCo and vice versa.
Can anybody please provide with the code samples or any kind of documentation on this topic.
Points will be rewarded

Hi,
what you are looking for is the sapidocjco.jar. You can get if from the service marketplace and it comes with a couple of example Java code which shows how to implement it. You will also need the normal JCo jar to use the sapidocjco.jar.

Sevlets and xml as parameters

I am a bit new to this and want to get some advice on where to look or best ways to do this. Basically we have a client using our webapp that wants to access our data via xml so a voice response system can use it. They want to pass us an xml file requesting data and we are to pass back an xml file with the data. Our application currently uses servlet technology to take a request and display the web page with the data. So we want to keep it as close to the architecture we already have.
I need to know how would they make the request and pass us the xml, and how would i recieve that xml and pass back the data.
Thanks in advance for your help.

thanks for the comment but it has to be automatic. no person involved since the request will be coming from a voice response system and can be a number of requests a minute.

Conversion of internal tables from ABAP to XML and Viceversa

Hi ,
I am writing a BAPI to pick the data from SAP system which gives its output to a .NET application. So, i designed XSD and i want the output of the BAPI according to that XSD rather than in the form of normal internal tables.
Can any one please tell me what is the best way to do this ?
I know very little about the simple transformations that are available in ABAP. Do we need to write our own transformation for the conversion of the internal tables to required XML format or do we already have transformations which take the internal tables and XSD to generate the XML required ?
Also for again converting the XML document to ABAP do we need to write a new transformation ?
Reward points are assured for all the replies.
Regards,
Srinivas.

to convert internal table to xml format you could use CALL TRANSFORMATION key word
data: xml_out type string .
call transformation (`ID`)
source output = youritab
result xml xml_out.
instead of ID (xslt program) you can desing your own xslt program to generate the xml in the desired format. ID is the standard delivered one

I am using XSLT to deal with XML and ABAP data.
I using the following statement to convert a Internal Table to XML String:

Using ABAP Web Service tor convert IDoc to XML and transfer to SOAP Server

Hi all,
I have a problem to use ABAP Web Service to convert IDoc's to XML and then send them to a SOAP Server.
Currently we have the following landscape:
SAP->XI->Archive
The sap-system (ECC6.0) sends an IDoc to the Exchange Infrastructe. The XI maps the IDoc and converts it to the required XML format, used by the archive. Afterwards, the XML documents are sended to the SOAP Server.
So I'm trying to replace the Exchange Infrastructure with ABAP Web Service.
I've read a lot of posts and documents reagarding ABAP Web Serivce, converting IDoc's to XML, RFC and so on, but I'm not able to do the replacement.
I don't know how to start and which steps are required.
The required roles and authorizations at the sap-system and the service for soamanager and the Web Service Viewer are available.
First I thought to create the RFC and partner profiles and then the report to convert IDoc to XML as a BAPI. With this BAPI I supposed to create and define a Web Service. The problem is, I don't know how to trigger the report if the Idoc should be send to the archive.
Hopefully, someone has an idea or a how-to for me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Christoph
Edited by: BigTicket on May 12, 2010 9:36 AM

Hi BigTicket.
A suggestion to trigger the BAPI / WebService at the IDoc receiving is to use a user exit or enhanced inside the idoc function module. When the idoc arrived to the idoc port the system start the related function module and then your user exit/enhanced in which you invoke your BAPI.
I hope this help.
Ciao.
Nicola

I had read a lot of thread but i don't understand how to deal with xml/xsd in R3.
I need someone that have a definite example for this escenary please.
With OPEN DATASET took from the server XML and XSD file, and put it in two internal tables type string.
What functions or method have to use, and how to use them, to charge the XML file in an internal table?
This is an example of XML and XDS:

Best Regards,

I just tried to interpret your question, it was not obvious what you wanted.
I guess what you mean is that you have defined (statically) a deep structure, and you want to decode the XML into it. That is called a transformation (transaction STRANS, statement CALL TRANSFORMATION). You have the choice between 2 transformation languages: XSLT and ST. Of course, it depends what release you are running.
I advise you to play first with the ID transformation, to convert an ABAP deep structured data object into XML, so that you see what XML is generated, this one is called asXML. If you create your own transformation, when you call it, it will first convert automatically the data object to asXML, and the transformation has to do the rest of the job.
You can do the opposite, i.e. converting from XML to a data object, according to the same principle (intermediate asXML).
Well, there are lots of things to say, I recommend you to read articles and documentation on XSLT and ST (search on SDN).
About XSD, it won't help (and I did never see any possibility to use it) to decode the XML, as you must anyway define the target data object statically (and there's no tool to generate the ABAP code of the data object definition from the XSD).
Note that you may also use iXML libraries to parse the XML.
Please tell us more.

SAP BW data in ODS to XML and sending this XML file to 3rd Party

Hi Gurus,
We are having a scenario in which we have to convert our data in ODS to XML and need to provide this XML file to our clients so that they can use this XML file in their 3rd party system.
Now the issue is that i have created ABAP program for converting into XML.
If I execute this program, since i have given path as my Desktop, the converted XML file gets saved on my Desktop.
But the problem is how i can provide this XML file to the client.
Is there any way of converting this XML file to html and send them the URL ......
