Using XML Import/Export in Transport Connection

Hi, I was investigating the feasibility of copying a query definition from one BW system to another using the XML Import/Export functionality in Transport Connection.  This is not to replace our current transport process across the landscape (Dev -> QA -> Prod), but merely just looking at possibilities for end users who develop queries in QA & then recreate them in Prod.
My question is: has anyone worked with the XML Export/Import for types Queries & Query Elements?  I was trying this out between a Dev and Sandbox system and only had limited success.  I was able to take a small query and perform the Export to a local .xml file without much difficulty.  But when I try to do the Import, my query never shows up.  The Import function shows a green light, but I get a couple of error messages on the Import such as the following:
==========================================================
SAP object 3WROG4HZ3NKP1PIYHCR1H24CQ () cannot be imported
Diagnosis
You attempted to import SAP object 3WROG4HZ3NKP1PIYHCR1H24CQ of type into the system via the XMI interface. However, you are not allowed to import SAP objects.
System response
The object was ignored during the import.
Note: It can be that the import is incomplete when the required SAP objects are still not active in the system.
Procedure
Install the specified objects from Business Content. Only import the metadata afterwards.
=========================================================
The portion returned for Saving and Activating returns green lights.  The two sample objects mentioned appear to just be custom InfoObjects used in my query & don't look to be any different than others that work OK. 
Just curious if anyone else has worked with this and could help advise. 
Thanks...  Jody

This is an old subject, but I think XML import only works for datamodeling objects like InfoObjects, InfoCubes, and ODS objects. If you try to export a query, and open the XML file in a text editor, there is not enough information (in my opinion) to build the query. As an example you don't see how key figures are to be displayed, filter or free characteristics.
However, when an InfoObject is collected, you get all the attributes, texts in all languages.
If anyone has more insight, please enlighten us.

  • Can't i use xml schema and oledb data connection at the same time?

    Hello to all and thanks in advance.I use xml schema and oledb data connection at the same time and the problem is that when I try to export the xml, the outcome is not what i expect.Without the oledb connection everything is ok (just the schema) and the xml complies with the schema.
    Can't i have both schema and oledb and the exported xml be as i want it?

    You can use both at the same time, but not gor Internet access if that's what you're asking.
    Now there is a thing called Link Aggregation, which combines a number of interfaces for speed/redundancy, but it really only works locally, and then only with ALL special equipment in the route, and most likely OSX Server involved.
    Sorry.

  • XML Import/Export on 64-bit UNIX

    Hi,
    can anyone help me about Analytic Integration Services XML import/export on 64 bit Unix?
    The document "eis_93100_readme.pdf" explain that the import/export function is not available on 64-bit UNIX platforms and I don't know how to perform it.
    Does any tools exists?
    Thanks for any response in advance.

    This is usually an indication that something is wrong with the credential store. I've run into a bug with cryptotools where it truncates passwords on Unix. Try running cryptotools without encrypting the password. After that, see if the password is correct in the credential store.
    If this seems to be the problem, then I recommend generating your credential store on Windows and then moving it to your Unix platform.

  • XML import/export in inDesign

    Hello,
    I am new to inDesign so please bear with me if I am asking something basic. I have been searching for an answer on Google, but could not find it. Here's what I am trying to do:
    We have a lot of existing inDesign files in our company. Our intent is to manage the individual components of these files in a third-party content management system. The CMS uses XML like most other systems.Since inDesign has a lot of built in XML features, I decided to try it out in a sample file (none of our existing inDesign files have XML tags). I created tags and manually tagged the content. After this, I was able to export the content to an XML file. Great so far.
    The question is, can I export the layout and style information also? If so, can this be extracted to a separate file, maybe another XML file? The reason I am asking is that if I store the content XML along with layout and style info in the CMS, I should be able to use these to open a new inDesign session, import the layout information and then import my XML content file and it should display with all formatting and style intact. Is this possible?
    thanks for your time and help.

    Thanks, this is good info.
    I tried an export and was able to reimport succesfully. But, when I open the IMDL archive file, I see a lot of folders and files (Master spreads, resources, spreads etc.). It looks like I need to store this entire IMDL file in our CMS. That's ok, I can do that, but I am not sure if this works. Here's what I tried:
    - I imported the IMDL file into a new inDesign session. This showed my content correctly formatted.
    - I made a change to the exported XML file that I had created earlier from the "export to XML" command. Such changes will be done through the CMS system using workflows.
    - I imported this file and used "File->import XML" and selected "Merge Content". In the next dialog, I selected "Only import elements that match existing structure" and "Do not import contents of whitespace-only elements".
    - This did not bring in my changes as I thought it would. The styles were also screwed up.
    I may be doing something wrong, though. Will try again next week.
    thanks

  • Music XML Import & Export

    I use Sibelius for composing scores and would love to see audition support music xml import to the midi sequencer for final production to audio instead of requesting native notation features within AA. At the same time on a related feature request, I would also like to see AA support vsti midi automation with curves(?!?), for the final sculpting tasks towards post-production audio. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!

    As a long-time Finale user, I'd second this request. It would be an amazing way to import MIDI data into Audition.
    Having said that, Audition's MIDI capabilities are still primitive enough to cause problems with XML import -- too many unanswered variables, perhaps. And this
    i sounds
    like a complicated feature to implement. But all in all, a great idea.
    How about Music XML
    i export
    also, so our MIDI compositions made in Audition can be read into Sibelius or Finale for editing and printing?

  • XML Import/Export of Web Template

    Hi, I'm looking to move a Web Template from Production to Development and I'm thinking of using the MetaData Repository XML Export/Import Functionalty.  My only concern is that is might not pick up the Binary Objects Generated by the template to store Chart Settings.
    Does anyone have any experience with this so?  Again my concern is the Binary objects.
    Thanks, Ken Murray

    You cannot export Web Templates using XML.  Only Objects for which there are Supporting BAPI's..

  • Use an existing request in transport connection

    Hello
    I want to add objects into an existing transport request with transport connection.
    How can i do?
    Can i create a new one from transport connection but not transport it automatically? only insert objects inside it.
    Thanks.

    Dear Fernando Ariel Gonzalez ,
    I think we can..
    Please go through the steps below,
    1. Go to rsa1 -> business content
    2. Choose 'grouping' as "in dataflow afterwards"
    3. choose 'collection mode' as "collect automatically"
    4. choose 'infoproviders by infoareas' - choose appropriate infoprovider and 'insert objects for collection'
    5. Select your query / queries
    6.choose 'create transport request for BEx' and select appropriate development class
    To Release a request....
    se09/se10, 'modifiable' is marked, and 'display', cursor on you request and click truck button (release),
    if request has 'child' request, need to release it first.
    To delete or remove request
    Goto SE03
    Requets/Tasks > Unlock Objects
    Give the Request num & Execute
    Now Delete the Request on SE09
    It is possible to rmove before transportataion from SE03. Well if you want to remove from after transportation it can happen in a case like this. While you delete the obect in dev, it should ask for a request and when that request is transported the object will get deleted in the target sys too.
    For more information....

    Theo,
    Make sure that the object being exported does not have permisison or dependency problems. Also, make sure there are no object locks/users accessing the specific iView. You also have to have the access to export/import.

  • XML Import Export

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement where I need to do XML Export of Profile values.  For the same purpose I am using the ST transformations  which returns me XML data in an xstring type variable. Then I am supposed to download this data.
    In GUI_DOWNLOAD , I can not pass a table whose line type is xstring as it gives a dump. Now if i transfer the contents of the XSTRING variable of maximum length(65535) then also it can not accomodate the whole xstring variable values because the profile values can range upto 5000's.
    Please help...

    try and convert XSTRING TO STRING (fm). append string into table of type STRING_TAB (or is it STRING_TAB), which is a table type of type STRING. Use this internal table and try downloading it again.
    This however means that you will have to convert it back when uploading / using this data.

  • OMF- versus XML-Import/Export

    Hello,
    may anybody explain the advantages & disadvantages between OMF- and XML-Export/Import to me?
    Thanks for your effort.

    An OMF can embed the audio in the file, so that the audio people not only get the information, but the audio files as well. An XML is information only...no footage.
    FCP can import and export XMLs. It can only export OMFs...not import them.

  • Where used List for Packages (from Transport connection)

    Hi SDN,
    If objects , such as queries, or webtemplates, are incorrectly allocated to a BEx package at the beginning, my question is as follows:
    Can we find out which objects/queries/templates have been allocated to a particular package?
    Via some table, or where used list?
    As we have a global system, we are performing this task for many developers who have incorrectly used packages from the start.
    Thank you.

    Hi Khaja,
    That is perfect!  I am tracking the various element objects

    TMPL
    QVIW
    etc...
    Would you happen to know if it is possible to mass change objects to the correct package and transport through.
    Thank you.

  • Footnotes and XML: import and export.

    I've been playing around with ID CS4 for a week or two now, and can't seem to figure out a way to get footnotes into, or out of, an InDesign document using the XML import / export feature in the Structure pane. It seems you can't tag footnote text, which precludes it ever being "structured". I did notice the footnote is available when exporting as IDML, however.
    Is there a way to manipulate footnotes from the document's structure / xml tree? I am working with DocBook sources, and need to find out a way to get footnotes marked up correctly in InDesign... this is proving to be a bit of an issue. Any help or reference pointers would be greatly appreciated.

    well, this is what i've discovered so far
    indesign footnotes don't live on the xml tree, so there's no way for them to be "tagged" as a footnote on import. from what i can tell, the easiest way to "automatically" create footnotes from n xml import is using the indesign scripting system. there are a few pdfs inside the indesign application folder and some samples - these are also available on the adobe website.
    using scripting, you can create an xpath query to iterate over your footnote elements, then create an indesign footnote object at the same point in the text, copy the contents from the footnote element into the indesign footnote, then remove the footnote from the xml tree. or maybe just plonk it in a text frame living on a hidden layer or something. i haven't gotten that far yet.
    i haven't got as far as exporting yet, but i reckon there could be a similar trick available via scripting. another option would be IDML, which definitely has footnotes tucked away in its pckage somewhere.
    does anybody else have a better solution, or more light to shed on the matter?

    So try. It is called Oracle XML-SQL utility and it set of classes for direct XML manipulation from/to database with HUGE amount of features. You can use it from JAVA and PL/SQL (via Java Stored Procedures). It is realy great.
