How to read XML file kept on NON-SAP server using the Http URL ?

Dear Experts,
I am working on CRM2007 web UI. I need to read a XML file placed on a shared server location by a third party program. Then process that XML file into CRM and create a quotation using the data extracted from the file.
All i have with me is the http URL that points to the location of the file.
I am supposed to read the file , create quotation and at later point of time i would be asked to update the quotation and then generated new XML representing updated quotation and replace the XML file on shared server location with this new updated XML file.
I know how to extract data from XML file into ABAP but i have no clue as to how to access the file on some other server using the http url i have and how to read it ?
I searched on the forum and i found the codes for reading XML file that is located either on client machine OR on the Application server wheareas my file is on some other than sap application server.
Please help me as its an urgent issue .
Points will be rewarded for sure.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Suchita.
p.s. : the http url to the file location is like -->
http://SomeServerDomain/SomeDirectory/file.xml

hi,
interesting task.
to request the file by a http call you need to create an if_http_client object.
More info is [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmobile71/helpdata/en/e5/4d350bc11411d4ad310000e83539c3/frameset.htm]
to parse the file you either have to work with the ixml packages ([info|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmobile71/helpdata/en/47/b5413acdb62f70e10000000a114084/content.htm]) or you use an XSLT transformation ([info|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmobile71/helpdata/en/a8/824c3c66177414e10000000a114084/content.htm]).
uploading the final file isn't so easy. if you only have http, you should write a server script to allow uploading of the new file and copying it into the place of the old file. but you definitely need the script.
now it's your take. depending on how experienced you are in ABAP and networking this might turn out to be easy or pretty complicated.
have fun,

How to read xml file that has changing element names?

Idon't know much about xml, nor reading it with java, but I have this problem with reading xml file. The file something like this:
<configuration>
   <DEV001>
      <serial>001</serial>
      <id>number 1</id>
   </DEV001>
   <DEV002>
      <serial>002</serial>
      <id>number 2</id>
   </DEV002>
</configuration>I have imported the org.w3c.dom.* api, that I use for parsing. I don't know is this a generic or a parser specific issue, but how can I get all the nodes starting with "DEV" into a NodeList?
If you know a solution for this with another parser, please share it. I have no reason to use that specific parser, I just found a sample using that.
kari-matti

Well, NodeList is an interface, so you cannot construct one and put the "good" elements into it. But, you might be able to cast the NodeList with all of the children of the root into an IIOMetadaNode (which is the class that implements the NodeList interface. That class has a removeChild() method that might be able to remove the text nodes and any that don't start with DEV.
But, if you remove nodes, and still want to do things with the full DOM Document, be very careful and run tests. It may remove those nodes from the full Document.
If, on the other hand, the printingData( Nodelist nl) method could be modified so it takes an ArrayList or some other collection, it is very simple.
Just create an ArrayList, and when you find an element starting with DEV, add it to the ArrayList. When you are done, process that list and you are finished.

UCCX Reading XML file hosted on IIS web server

hi guys,
i have a customer on CCX 8.5 environment and they have a .NET application running on an IIS web server. As part of this .NET application, the app produce an XML file.
My questions is
"Can CCX read XML file that is hosted externally on IIS web server rather than parsing the XML file on CCX document repository?"
All of the examples of XML parsing points to the XML file in document repository.
Any pointers to links and documentation/example on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
If this is not achievable, if you could kindly suggest a different way of doing it too would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Daniel

Hi,
to be quite honest with you, I don't know anything about Sharepoint - so I am afraid I cannot help you with its XML editing capabilities. XML is just a well formed text file that follows some logical rules, so no additional application is required for editing, in fact, I always encourage everybody to use Notepad/Textpad/ to read and edit XML files. Of course, if it's not possible, you will find a great number of various user friendly XML editing applications.
A UCCX script will normally access an XML using the Create URL Document step and then, using the Get XML Document data step with the help of an XPath expression, will filter out the necessary information from the XML document.
The protocols used are standard and well known, including HTTP and XPath (and XML itself). So it does not really matter what kind of HTTP server serves the XML file, IIS is just an option.
Examples may be found in the Scripting guides for your particular UCCX version.

How to read xml file

I want to create a component to read a XML file in Flex 2
using Actionscript. I am able to do this using URLRequest and
URLLoader but what happens is the component that calls my reader
component keeps running through the code and the Complete event
never gets called.
So my question is how can I read a XML file through AS and
return a value in that XML file all in a synchronized manner?
Thanks

All data access in Flex is asynchronous.
There is NO WAY to stop or pause code execution in the Flash
Player.
You will need to use events to complete the processing after
the call returns. This is a tough paradigm if you are new to it,
but there is no other way.
Resistance is futile.
Also, in a related vein, Alert and other "modal" pop-ups are
not truly modal. They do not stop code execution, and you must use
events to continue processing.

Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful and He created the human

now how to correct it?
Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful and He created the human
Please be explicit - I'm the only other one in this thread so I assume it's to me, but usually I just ignore the posts when the user isn't specific.
I don't know what there is to correct. Create a NEW dataset in code, add the two tables, and use the methods that I suggested.
I'm not a database guy so I can't get real specific. I create my own stuff in classes and use that but, if you're using SQL then there are lots of pro's here that can help you with specifics. I'm sure they'll need to know a lot more about your data, the
connection, and all that, but the concept should be fairly simple to implement.
Still lost in code, just at a little higher level.

How to read xml file present in the UCMS from webcenter portal application

Hi,
I'm new to webcenter portal and would like to know how to read an xml file which is present in UCMS 11g(contributors folder) from webcenter portal application.
Thanks in advance

I guess I had mentioned that I want to read it via my webcenter portal app rather than login to ucms and searching it via url.
I want text labels and button names being stored in the xml file which I'm going to keep in the UCMS.
After reading that from the xml will be placed at appropriate locations like the button values and label feilds, so that we dont need to deploy entire app for this kind of simple changes.
Now can anyone provide some help with the api's related to this?

How to load XML file to table (non-XML) with SQL*Loader -- issue with nulls

I have been attempting to use SQL*Loader to load an XML file into a "regular" Oracle table. All fields work fine, unless a null is encountered. The way that nulls are represented is shown below:
<PAYLOAD>
<FIELD1>ABCDEF</FIELD1>
<FIELD2/>
<FIELD3>123456</FIELD3>
</PAYLOAD>
In the above example, FIELD2 is a null field and that is the way it is presented. I have searched everywhere and have not found how I could code for this. The issue is that if FIELD2 is present, it is coded like: <FIELD2>SOMEDATA</FIELD2>, but the null is represented as <FIELD2/>. Here is a sample of the control file I am using to attempt the load -- very simplistic, but works fine when fields are present:
load data
infile 'testdata.xml' "str '<PAYLOAD>'"
TRUNCATE
into table DATA_FROM_XML
FIELD1 ENCLOSED BY '<FIELD1>' AND '</FIELD1>',
FIELD2 ENCLOSED BY '<FIELD2>' AND '</FIELD2>',
FIELD3 ENCLOSED BY '<FIELD3>' AND '</FIELD3>')
What do I need to do to account for the way that nulls are presented? I have tried everything I could glean from the web and the documentation and nothing has worked. Any help would be really appreciated.

I hadn't even got that far. can you direct me to where the docs are to import data that is stored within xml but that you don't need any xml functionality, that just happens to be the format the data is stored in? thx

How to Read XML files in OC4J???

I wrote a Web Application with JBuilder, and deployed it in OC4J.
In the Web App, there were a class and a Jsp, following:
in the class:(load the .xml file and get the element's attribute value)import org.jdom.Element;
import org.jdom.Document;
import org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder;
public Document loadXMLDoc(String AFileName) throws Exception
SAXBuilder lSAXBuilder = new SAXBuilder(false);
Document lDoc = lSAXBuilder.build(AFileName);
return lDoc;
public void testGetXMLValue(String AFileName)
throws Exception
Document lDoc = null;
Element lElement = null;
Element lElement1 = null;
try
lDoc = loadXMLDoc(AFileName);
lElement = lDoc.getRootElement().getChild("client-setup.xml");
lElement1 = lElement.getChild("connection-params");
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
throw new Exception(lErrorStr);
in the JSP:(invoking the class's method)<%
testJspBeanId.testGetXMLValue("client-setup.xml");
%>
When compiling the Web App, I had contained the "jdom.jar" and "xerces.jar" packages in .ear file,
After deploying the .ear in OC4J, the two packages in the "/applications/Web App/Web App/WEB-INF/lib/"
but when I run the Web App to , Error took place:

hi anya,
Try to use FM IDOC_XML_FROM_FILE.
or check the below code
data: temp_str type string.
concatenate '>' cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf '<'><' in XML_STRING with temp_str.
xml_string is the straing variable to hold the xml .
now use xml_string to show it in texteditor.
