Issue in Creation of XML file from ABAP data

Hi,
I need to create a XML file, but am not facing some issues in creation of XML file, the in the required format.
The required format is
-<Header1 1st field= u201CValueu201D 2nd field= u201CValueu201D>
   - <Header2 1st field= u201CValueu201D 2nd field= u201CValueu201Du2026u2026. Upto 10 fields>
          <Header3 1st field= u201CValueu201D 2nd field= u201CValueu201Du2026u2026. Upto 6 fields/>
          <Header4 1st field= u201CValueu201D 2nd field= u201CValueu201Du2026u2026. Upto 4 fields/.>
           <Header5 1st field= u201CValueu201D 2nd field= u201CValueu201Du2026u2026. Upto 6 fields/>
      </Header2>
   </Header1>
Iu2019m using the call transformation to convert ABAP data to XML file.
So please anybody can help how to define XML structure in transaction XSLT_TOOL.
And one more thing, here I need to put the condition to display the Header 3, Header 4, Header 5 values. If there is no record for a particular line item in header 3, 4 & 5, I donu2019t want to display full line items; this is only for Header 3, 4 & 5.
Please help me in this to get it resolved.

Hello,
you can use CALL TRANSFORMATION id, which will create a exact "print" of the ABAP data into the XML.
If you need to change the structure of XML, you can alter your ABAP structure to match the requirements.
Of course you can create your own XSLT but that is not that easy to describe and nobody will do that for you around here. If you would like to start with XSLT, you´d better start the search.

Create XML file from ABAP with SOAP Details

Hi,
I am new to XML and I am not familiar with JAVA or Web Service. I have searched in SDN and googled for a sample program for creating XML document from ABAP with SOAP details. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything.
I have a requirement for creating an XML file from ABAP with SOAP details. I have the data in the internal table. There is a Schema which the client provided and the file generated from SAP should be validating against that Schema. Schema contains SOAP details like Envelope, Header & Body.
My question is can I generate the XML file using CALL TRANSFORMATION in SAP with the SOAP details?
I have tried to create Transformation (Transaction XSLT_TOOL) in SAP with below code. Also in CALL transformation I am not able to change the encoding to UTF-8. It's always show UTF-16.
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
    <SOAP:Envelope xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
      <SOAP:Header>
        <CUNS:HeaderInfo>
          <CUNS:InterfaceTypeId>10006</InterfaceTypeId>
          <CUNS:BusinessPartnerID>11223344</BusinessPartnerID>
          <CUNS:SchemaVersion>1.0</SchemaVersion>
          <CUNS:DateTime>sy-datum</DateTime>
        </CUNS:HeaderInfo>
      </SOAP:Header>
      <SOAP:Body>
        <xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
      </SOAP:Body>
    </SOAP:Envelope>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
In ABAP program, I have written below code for calling above Transformation.
call transformation ('Z_ID')
       source tab = im_t_output[]
       result xml xml_out.
call function 'SCMS_STRING_TO_FTEXT'
    exporting
      text      = xml_out
    tables
      ftext_tab = ex_t_xml_data.
Please help me how to generate XML file with SOAP details from ABAP. If anybody have a sample program, please share with me.
Is there any easy way to create the XML file in CALL Transformation. Please help.
Thanks

Try ABAP forum, as it seems not to be PI related.

Simple Transformation to deserialize an XML file into ABAP data structures?

I'm attempting to write my first simple transformation to deserialize
an XML file into ABAP data structures and I have a few questions.
My simple transformation contains code like the following
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates"
              xmlns:pp="http://www.sap.com/abapxml/types/defined" >
<tt:type name="REPORT" line-type="?">
<tt:node name="COMPANY_ID" type="C" length="10" />
<tt:node name="JOB_ID" type="C" length="20" />
<tt:node name="TYPE_CSV" type="C" length="1" />
<tt:node name="TYPE_XLS" type="C" length="1" />
<tt:node name="TYPE_PDF" type="C" length="1" />
<tt:node name="IS_NEW" type="C" length="1" />
</tt:type>
<tt:root name="ROOT2" type="pp:REPORT" />
    <QueryResponse>
    <tt:loop ref="ROOT2" name="line">
      <QueryResponseRow>
        <CompanyID>
          <tt:value ref="$line.COMPANY_ID" />
        </CompanyID>
        <JobID>
          <tt:value ref="$line.JOB_ID" />
        </JobID>
        <ExportTypes>
          <tt:loop>
            <ExportType>
               I don't know what to do here (see item 3, below)
            </ExportType>
          </tt:loop>
        </ExportTypes>
        <IsNew>
          <tt:value ref="$line.IS_NEW"
          map="val(' ') = xml('false'), val('X') = xml('true')" />
        </IsNew>
      </QueryResponseRow>
      </tt:loop>
    </QueryResponse>
    </tt:loop>
1. In a DTD, an element can be designated as occurring zero or one
time, zero or more times, or one or more times. How do I write the
simple transformation to accommodate these possibilities?
2. In trying to accommodate the "zero or more times" case, I am trying
to use the <tt:loop> instruction. It occurs several layers deep in the
XML hierarchy, but at the top level of the ABAP table. The internal
table has a structure defined in the ABAP program, not in the data
dictionary. In the simple transformation, I used <tt:type> and
<tt:node> to define the structure of the internal table and then
tried to use <tt:loop ref="ROOT2" name="line"> around the subtree that
can occur zero or more times. But every variation I try seems to get
different errors. Can anyone supply a working example of this?
3. Among the fields in the internal table, I've defined three
one-character fields named TYPE_CSV, TYPE_XLS, and TYPE_PDF. In the
XML file, I expect zero to three elements of the form
<ExportType exporttype='csv' />
<ExportType exporttype='xls' />
<ExportType exporttype='pdf' />
I want to set field TYPE_CSV = 'X' if I find an ExportType element
with its exporttype attribute set to 'csv'. I want to set field
TYPE_XLS = 'X' if I find an ExportType element with its exporttype
attribute set to 'xls'. I want to set field TYPE_PDF = 'X' if I find
an ExportType element with its exporttype attribute set to 'pdf'. How
can I do that?
4. For an element that has a value like
<ErrorCode>123</ErrorCode>
in the simple transformation, the sequence
<ErrorCode> <tt:value ref="ROOT1.CODE" /> </ErrorCode>
seems to work just fine.
I have other situations where the XML reads
<IsNew value='true' />
I wanted to write
<IsNew>
        <tt:value ref="$line.IS_NEW"
        map="val(' ') = xml('false'), val('X') = xml('true')" />
       </IsNew>
but I'm afraid that the <tt:value> fails to deal with the fact that in
the XML file the value is being passed as the value of an attribute
(named "value"), rather than the value of the element itself. How do
you handle this?

Try this code below:
data l_xml_table2 type table of xml_line with header line.
W_filename - This is a Path.
if w_filename(02) = '
    open dataset w_filename for output in binary mode.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
      l_xml_table2[] = l_xml_table[].
      loop at l_xml_table2.
        transfer l_xml_table2 to w_filename.
      endloop.
    endif.
    close dataset w_filename.
else.
    call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
      exporting
        bin_filesize = l_xml_size
        filename     = w_filename
        filetype     = 'BIN'
      changing
        data_tab     = l_xml_table
      exceptions
        others       = 24.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
                 with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
    endif.

Create XML file from table data

Dear All,
with dataservice 4.0, I want to create an XML file from a table data.
Table have a single column but more record, for example:
0001000488;100;EUR;
0001000489;200;EUR;
0001000450;300;EUR;
My desired XML output:
<Data>
0001000488;100;GBP;
0001000489;200;EUR;
0001000450;300;EUR;
</Data>
I try with a sample query but the sistem write only the last record in XML file:
<Data>
0001000450;300;EUR;
</Data>
Can everyone help me?
Thank in advance.
Simone

Hello
That is a very simple (also odd) XML document structure, and as such doesn't require use of the XML target. It can be easily acheived by writing a normal file with a header and footer, which is acheived using a row_generation and a query to generate the hard coded open and close tags.

Can we do a Secure FTP for an XML file from ABAP when firewall is enabled?

Hi all,
I have a requirement to send an XML file to an External FTP Server which is out of our corporate network and our firewall is enabled.
I have to send an XML file with Purchase Order details. I completed that with the help of this blog https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/2657. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
Now I need to FTP the XML file that is generated. How should I be doing this? Can some of help me with this?
I need to do a Secure FTP to the external non SAP server which is out of our corporate network and our firewall is enabled. Can some one tell me if SFTP is possible in ABAP.
This is not a web service. I am working on dropping an XML file in an external FTP serveru2026 I have searched the forums but still in a confusion if weather Secure FTP is possible in ABAP or not when our company firewall is enabledu2026
If some one encountered this situation earlier please help,,,..any help will be highly appreciated.

Jessica Sam

Thanks a lot for your valuable suggestions Richu2026
I agree with you Rich that web services would be a better option. But I need to send this file to an external third party and they dont have web services.
They are telling us that either we can send them an XML file or a CSV file in the format that they want. We decided to go with XML file format.
I am done with formatting the Purchase Order details in the format that they want. Now the challenge is that I need to send this FTP file to them and it should be a Secure FTP when our fire wall is enabled,
When you say
1) Run an ABAP program to generate the XML file and put it on the local PC
2) Log into the FTP site via some FTP client, could simply be windows as well.
3) Manually cut/paste the file from the PC to the FTP site.
For Step 1 running ABAP Program can I schedule a batch job?
For Step 2 and Step 3 can I automate it in any other way..if not in ABAP?
Can I advice my company to follow any alternate method in which they can automate this step 2 and step 3u2026if not in ABAP can it be possible in any other way as the third party does not have web services I now have no other alternative.
Please Helpu2026

XML files from ABAP programs

Hi everyone!
Is there a way in ABAP to output XML files? Pls. send code/ function module if any.
From ABAP programs, we are sure that we can output TEXT files, but how about XML files?
The significance of this question is related
Currently we are using XI to interface SAP and AMS, this question for ABAP to produce XML file arose, if for example, the XI server is down and we have to still send data from one system to another. IDocs can also produce XML files, pls confirm. Earlier however, we have preferred XI rather than IDocs to do this. Anyway, any idea regarding this scenario will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and God bless!

Anyone know how to output an XML file from ABAP to a non sapgui location?

I have a program that creates XML and then outputs a file via CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download. But now I want to execute the program in background mode and therefore I need to be able to output that XML to a NON sapgui file location. Current code creates the XML to an internal table which is binary then the gui_download method converts that to output XML. . Does anyone know how I can change the code to either a) output the XML to an internal table which can be output via, say, a TRANSFER command..or, b) output the created binary table of XML to a NON sapgui file location?
Excerpts from current code are as follows:
first the XML is created (to the binary file)
      Creating a ixml factory
l_ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ).
      Creating the dom object model
l_document = l_ixml->create_document( ).
      Fill root node with value XML
l_element_xml = l_document->create_simple_element(
              name = 'XML'
              parent = l_document ).
      Create tag 'HEADER' as child of 'XML'
l_element_header = l_document->create_simple_element(
              name = 'HEADER'
              parent = l_element_xml ).
header information about the file and general data about the fleet follows
l_value = c_fleet_import.
l_element_dummy = l_document->create_simple_element(
            name = 'TYPE'
            value = l_value
            parent = l_element_header ).
etc.......
then the xml is connected to the stream factory and rendered
Creating a stream factory
l_streamfactory = l_ixml->create_stream_factory( ).
Connect internal XML table to stream factory
l_ostream = l_streamfactory->create_ostream_itable( table = l_xml_table ).
Rendering the document
l_renderer = l_ixml->create_renderer( ostream = l_ostream
                                        document = l_document ).
l_rc = l_renderer->render( ).
Saving the XML document
l_xml_size = l_ostream->get_num_written_raw( ).
and then output to the file
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
       EXPORTING
         bin_filesize = l_xml_size
        filename     = 'g:\sapdms\BSCC-DEV\EFPAC XML Files\ALL.xml'
       filename     = '/TRICK/727/OUT/ZEFP/EFPAC.XML' "doesnt work with sap gui
         filetype     = 'BIN'
       CHANGING
         data_tab     = l_xml_table
       EXCEPTIONS
         OTHERS       = 24.
as implied by the comments the method above will successfully output the XML file to the g:drive but will not output to /TRICK/ location, which is where I need it to go in a background mode run.
This is a problem which has defeated all our local expertise and I would appreciate any help given... Barry Jones

Try this code below:
data l_xml_table2 type table of xml_line with header line.
W_filename - This is a Path.
if w_filename(02) = '
    open dataset w_filename for output in binary mode.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
      l_xml_table2[] = l_xml_table[].
      loop at l_xml_table2.
        transfer l_xml_table2 to w_filename.
      endloop.
    endif.
    close dataset w_filename.
else.
    call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
      exporting
        bin_filesize = l_xml_size
        filename     = w_filename
        filetype     = 'BIN'
      changing
        data_tab     = l_xml_table
      exceptions
        others       = 24.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
                 with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
    endif.

Creating XML file from ABAP internal table data....

Hello,
I am fethcing data froma custom table and I have to write data in XMl format. Following is the XML format in which I want data. Is there any function module iN SAP which will help me in writing data from internal table to XML file ?
<batch>
<invoice>

    <paymentamount>122.00</paymentamount>
     <ReferenceNumber>70980934</ReferenceNumber>

</control>
</batch>
Please help.

I suggest you look into "simple transformations". That's SAP's most recent technology for such purposes, as far as I know.

Reading XMl file from ABAP

Hi friends,
I am working in SAP 4.6c. Please help me in the following scenario.
I have to read the xml whixjh in the application server.
I have to Make sure each XML only contains 1 IDOC. If 10 idocs are pushed out , there should be 10 XML messages. 1 idoc per XML.
So if the FM receives a message that contains 10 idocs, the routine just needs to split the XML into 10 separate XML's using YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_IDOCNUMBER.XML as the new of each XML.
Convert the XML into UTF-8 compliant
above is my requirement.
Can you guide me how to read a XMl file and findout how many idocs are present in that...
Please guide me...
Thanks in advance,
Sudha

Hi Sudha,

Creating XML files from one data file in a java program

<statement>
     <name>John Dow </name>

Thanks,
Bill

So how does it take this file
file>
<statement>
<name>John Dow </name>
<address>123 Main</address>
<phone>972-213-3434</phone>
</statement>
<statement>
<name>Jane Dow </name>
<address>345 Main</address>
<phone>972-213-3534</phone>
</statement>
<statement>
<name>Marry Dow </name>
<address>678 Main</address>
<phone>972-213-3435</phone>
</statement>
</file>
and create these three different one?
1.)
<statement>
<name>John Dow </name>
<address>123 Main</address>
<phone>972-213-3434</phone>
</statement>
2.)
<statement>
<name>Jane Dow </name>
<address>345 Main</address>
<phone>972-213-3534</phone>
</statement>
3.)
<statement>
<name>Marry Dow </name>
<address>678 Main</address>
<phone>972-213-3435</phone>
</statement>
Is it not going to just grab each element after the file tag? I'm just confused about that.
