XSLT to convert XML into Tables

Hi,
I'm trying to import my XML data into a table format. After adding an XSL file to my Structure Application as a Preprocessing Stylesheet, and importing my XML instance file with the Template file opened, the "Unknown File Type" error window appeared asking for a file format to Convert From. Picking any one doesn't create a table.
The XSL file tranforms the XML data into an HTML file that has a table with columns corresponding to the XML data. I was thinking using that type of XSL because it renders tables.
Below is the XSL markup:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<h2>Products</h2>
    <table border="1">
      <tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
        <th>Title</th>
        <th>Number</th>
        <th>Date</th>
      </tr>
      <xsl:for-each select="Products/Product">
      <tr>
        <td><xsl:value-of select="Title"/></td>
        <td><xsl:value-of select="Number"/></td>
        <td><xsl:value-of select="Date"/></td>
      </tr>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Title, Number, and Date are child elements of the Product element, which is a child element of the Products root element in my XML file.
Am I applying the stylesheet correctly here? Am I using the write kind of stylesheet?
Thanks,
zeb

Hi Michael, Van,
Thank you for responding to my post. Your feedback was very helpful!
I was able to get the table to generate in FrameMaker but no data from the XML file is flowing into it. All that appears is the header row with "Title," "Number," and "Date" in the cells, and a row with blank cells underneath it. The Structure View pane has a red "<no value>" for the "Cols" and "Widths" attributes of the Table element. Only the Title column is affected by the width value.
The XSL, RW, and EDD files are as a follows: (The structure for the XML is a "Products" root element with mulitple "Product" child elements that each have a "Title," "Name," "Date" child element.)
==========================XSL==================
<xsl:stylesheet version='1.0' xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" doctype-system="products_DTD3.dtd" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<products>
<Table cols="3" width="150">
<TableHeading>
    <TableRow>
        <TableCell>Title</TableCell>
        <TableCell>Number</TableCell>
        <TableCell>Date</TableCell>
    </TableRow>
</TableHeading>
<TableBody>
<TableRow>
<TableCell><xsl:for-each select="Products/Product"><xsl:value-of select="Title"/></xsl:for-each></TableCell>
<TableCell><xsl:for-each select="Products/Product"><xsl:value-of select="Number"/></xsl:for-each></TableCell>
<TableCell><xsl:for-each select="Products/Product"><xsl:value-of select="Date"/></xsl:for-each></TableCell>
</TableRow>
</TableBody>
</Table>
</products>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
==========================EDD==================
Element (Container): products
General rule:    Table

==========================RW===================
fm version is "10.0";
element "Table" {
is fm table element;
attribute "cols" is fm property columns;
attribute "width" is fm property column widths;
element "TableRow" is fm table row element;
element "TableHeading" is fm table heading element;
element "TableBody" is fm table body element;
element "TableCell" is fm table cell element;
===============================================
I'm having trouble placing the "<xsl:for-each select="Products/Product">" tag in the XSL file. When I put it under TRow, FrameMaker gives an error that "TRow is not a valid for content (TCell)+". Only when I place it within the TCell tags (as I have above) does the above-mentioned Table with a Header row and a row with empty cells generate.
Is the XSL the problem here?
Thanks,
Zeb

Convert xml into SAP using dataset

Hi All,
How to convert XML into itab using dataset, in this conversion have any function module available? please give me a sample program (having any). and material also.
Thanks,
Suresh maniarasu

Hi,
First you need to get the XML file Data into SAP using the Function Module and can populate the data into an inernal table.
TEXT_CONVERT_XML_TO_SAP
DMC_CONVERT_XML_TO_TABLE
or you can use the following classes
CL_RSRD_CONVERTER_XML
CL_WDR_XML_CONVERT_UTIL
CL_EXM_IM_ISHCM_CONV_XML_SAP
Thank U,

You could flatten the XML into table style output using XMLTABLE...

Problem writing a XSLT to convert XML in desired format from a table having self join

Hello,
I have to write a style sheet to convert XML generated from XSQL into a different format. The query that I have is as follows.
select LEVEL depth,
'H' || hierarchy_id id,
name,
nvl2(parent_id, 'H' || parent_id, 0) parent_id,
CURSOR(select LEVEL depth,
'H' || hierarchy_id hid,
name hname,
nvl2(parent_id, 'H' || parent_id, 0) hparent_id,
decode(system_id, NULL, '0', 'S' || system_id) formatted_system_id,
system_id
from hierarchy
where parent_id = h.hierarchy_id
and system_id is not null
) as systems
from hierarchy h
where system_id is null
start with parent_id is null
connect by prior hierarchy_id = parent_id
The hierarchy table has a self join to itself. The selfjoin is on the hierarchyid and the parentid fields which is evident from the query.
Here the hierarchy table contains the parent system and also the child systems underneath. The problem is that the no. of levels that it can go deep is not fixed. The output of this in sqlplus is as follows.
Depth Hierarchyid, name parentid
1 h1 xxx <null>
2 h2 bbb h1
3 h3 ccc h2
<Cursor for systems>
hid hname hparentid formatted_system_id systemid
h4 ccc h2 s1 1
h5 ccc h2 s2 2
<Back to original data>
Depth Hierarchyid, name parentid

The desired output required from the stylesheet is as follows

As you can see I am missing the closing of the tag on the 7th line in the desired format. I have written the following stylesheet.

<xsl:template match="HELEMENT">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="PARENT_ID=0">
<helement id="{ID}" name="{NAME}" parentid="{PARENT_ID}"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="PARENT_ID!='0'">

</helement2>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

Is there any way of achieving this. Any help would be appreciated. I am using XSQL to generate first the basic XML output and then applying stylesheet to achieve the desired output.
Sincerely,

Hello,
I have to write a style sheet to convert XML generated from XSQL into a different format. The query that I have is as follows.
select LEVEL depth,
'H' || hierarchy_id id,
name,
nvl2(parent_id, 'H' || parent_id, 0) parent_id,
CURSOR(select LEVEL depth,
'H' || hierarchy_id hid,
name hname,
nvl2(parent_id, 'H' || parent_id, 0) hparent_id,
decode(system_id, NULL, '0', 'S' || system_id) formatted_system_id,
system_id
from hierarchy
where parent_id = h.hierarchy_id
and system_id is not null
) as systems
from hierarchy h
where system_id is null
start with parent_id is null
connect by prior hierarchy_id = parent_id
The hierarchy table has a self join to itself. The selfjoin is on the hierarchyid and the parentid fields which is evident from the query.
Here the hierarchy table contains the parent system and also the child systems underneath. The problem is that the no. of levels that it can go deep is not fixed. The output of this in sqlplus is as follows.
Depth Hierarchyid, name parentid
1 h1 xxx <null>
2 h2 bbb h1
3 h3 ccc h2
<Cursor for systems>
hid hname hparentid formatted_system_id systemid
h4 ccc h2 s1 1
h5 ccc h2 s2 2
<Back to original data>
Depth Hierarchyid, name parentid
2 h6 ddd h1
2 h7 eee h1
The desired output required from the stylesheet is as follows
<h id=h1 name=xxx>
<h id=h2 name=bbb parentid=h1>
<h id=h3 name=ccc parentid=h2>
<h id=h4 name=fff parentid=h3 systemid=s1>
<h id=h5 name=ggg parentid=h3 systemid=s2>

Converting XML as table to XML as string

All,
I am successfully able to convert XML table from Internal Table. Now, I would like to convert this XML Table into XML string.
Any help on this will be appreciated.

Howdy,
CONCATENATE LINES OF lt_table into l_string SEPARATED BY cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf.
This will create a string of the lines of the internal table with a carriage return after each line.

How to convert XML into idocs and post in ECC using PI

Hello All,
I want to configure the scenario like this MDM->PI->ECC. Using FTP I am getting able to fetch the xml file from MDM Server Ready folder. Now, I need to convert this XML file into Idocs and post it in ECC. Can anyone provide me step by step configuration in PI to achieve this. I have configured communication channel with adapter type Idoc in Itegration Builder. But, I am not sure where it will do the conversion of XML into Idoc and how do post it to ECC. I am working first time on PI 7.1. I have worked on XI 3.0 in 2006-2007. Any help to configure this step by step shall be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Hemal

In you have the XML from MDM you have to use the mapping provided by the funtionals in the Funtional specification documents. once you did it you must configure the Receiver IDoc Adapter. and later dont fonget to configure properly the ReceiverAgreement.
as you receive the docuement from MDM via FTP, thats not a SAP System that means that you have to define PI as the sender of the IDoc,otherwise you will have the Error "Unable to convert the sender service to an ALE logical system"
to do that in the receiver Agreement>Header Mapping>Sender System-->Select PI server.
Take in mind to send IDocs to any SAP System, the system that send it must be a SAP system too. thats why you configure it
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/5d/112d20f6ce6c46ba66afb98d278fbd/frameset.htm
Another thing is you have configure the ALE distribution Model.

Interface to get inbond XML into tables

We have Oracle 7.3 and HP-UX. We have a requirement to get XML from client and get the data into our tables.
I think we need to install Oracle XDK and parse the XML and put it in Oracle using JDBC.
I need to know which version of XDK I should install in HP-UX/Oracle 7.3?
Can anyone provide a sample code to insert data from XML to tables?
We have a standard XML with data in tags. No attributes.

How to convert Templates into tables under Smartforms

Hi Gurus,
    I need to print internal table data onto a Template. But I'm wondering as how to convert a Template into Table. It is very urgent.
   Answers are rewardable.
-Syed.

Hi ,
Why do you wantto use templates as table control .
You should use table control in place of template to dipslay contents of an internal table .
To use table control as template put template inside a loop . Im not sure it works or not .

Optimize a data parser that converts CLOB into table

I am importing complex array data from Cold Fusion into ORACLE using a stored procedure. What I've done is convert the data into a CLOB, pass it into ORACLE, then parse it into a temporary table using a pipelined function. Unfortunately the array is large (16k rows) and it's taking a while to run.
What I'm looking is a better optimization for the data conversion. I've tried XML and the dbms_xmlstore but it was too slow. I am on 10g and don't have access to the log files or even the ability to trace anything. All I can do is look for better ways to do things and then try them.
Any suggestions or help to improve things would be welcome.
Warren Koch
The function converts the array of object into a custom delimited CLOB ( ; betwen values, | between rows) that looks like this:
prop1;prop2;prop3|prop1;prop2;prop3|prop1;prop2;prop3|prop1;prop2;prop3|
Here is the code I created.
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE THE_IMAGE_TYPE AS OBJECT
IMAGE_NAME VARCHAR2(100),
IMAGE_SIZE INTEGER,
IMAGE_LOC INTEGER
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE THE_IMAGE_TABLE AS TABLE OF THE_IMAGE_TYPE
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE IMAGE_IMPORT
image_name VARCHAR2(25 BYTE),
loc NUMBER(11),
image_size NUMBER(11)
ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS
NOCACHE;
FUNCTION convert_image_data(
     in_image_clob IN CLOB
     RETURN the_image_table PIPELINED
AS
     image_clob CLOB := in_image_clob;
     image_delim_index PLS_INTEGER;
     image_index PLS_INTEGER := 1;
     row_string VARCHAR2(1000);
     out_rec THE_image_type;
BEGIN
     out_rec := the_image_type(NULL, NULL, NULL);
     IF SUBSTR(in_image_clob, -1, 1) != '|'
     THEN
          image_clob := image_clob || '|';
     END IF;
     image_delim_index := INSTR(image_clob, '|', image_index);
     WHILE image_delim_index > 0
     LOOP
          row_string := SUBSTR(image_clob, image_index, image_delim_index - image_index);
          row_string := REPLACE(row_string || '::::', ':', ' :');
          out_rec.image_name := SUBSTR(TRIM(REGEXP_SUBSTR(row_string, '[^:]+', 1, 1)), 1, 25);
          out_rec.image_loc := make_number(REGEXP_SUBSTR(row_string, '[^:]+', 1, 2));
          out_rec.image_size := make_number(REGEXP_SUBSTR(row_string, '[^:]+', 1, 3));
          PIPE ROW(out_rec);
          image_index := image_delim_index + 1;
          image_delim_index := INSTR(image_clob, '|', image_index);
     END LOOP;
     RETURN;
EXCEPTION
     WHEN OTHERS
     THEN
          RAISE;
END;
Used in my code like this:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'TRUNCATE TABLE image_import';
FOR x IN (SELECT * FROM TABLE(convert_image_data(in_imagelist))
WHERE image_name IS NOT NULL)
LOOP
INSERT INTO image_import (image_name, loc, image_size)
               VALUES (x.image_name, x.image_loc, x.image_size);
END LOOP;

Is there any chance you can just use 1 SQL statement here? I gave it a shot based on the string you posted, not by trying to reverse engineer your code so it's possible i got it entirely wrong :)
select
    regexp_substr(image_row, '[^;]+', 1, 1) as image_name,

XML into table: Why do all my insert values are NULL?

Hello,
I'm pretty new in XML ... then I still learn a lot by myself !!!
I surfed to a lot of forums and examples ....
I have a XML file. I built a XSL file in order to insert a part of my XML file into a table.
The 2 files are loaded as CLOB into a DB table.
I wrote a PLSQL procedure for this job.
We are on a DB 10gR2.
As a result, all the inserted columns are loaded with NULL !!!! ....
I must have done something wrong ... for sure !!! but I cannot figure out.
Here are the files and procedures:
*<?xml version="1.0" ?>*
*<purchaseOrder orderDate="1999-10-20">*
*<shipTo country="US">*

     DBMS_XMLSave.closeContext(insCtx);
     DBMS_LOB.freetemporary (l_clob_xsl);
     DBMS_LOB.freetemporary (l_clob);
END;
The result table is like this :
scfx>select * from item_club;
ITEM_CODE ITEM_NAME ITEM_PRICE
All the columns of each row are NULL !!!
Why?
Do you have any advice ?
Thanks if advance,
Olivier

So, if I understand what you mean ... I should write something like this :
     insert into item_club
          select t2.partnum, t2.productname, to_number(replace(t2.usprice, '.', ','))
          from odab_xml_tab t
          , xmltable('*' passing t.xml.extract('purchaseOrder/items/*')
          columns partNum varchar2(35) path '@partNum'
          , productName varchar2(35) path 'productName'
          , USPrice varchar2(35) path 'USPrice'
          ) t2
Its a change in our code.. but that looks nice !!!
Thanks,
Olivier

Load XML into Table

Converting XML into a Object

Hi,
I'm trying to convert an xml object to a plain actionscript
3.0 object. I've looked at SimpleXMLDecoder but without much luck.
Any help or advice would be appreciated

Have you tried
[code]
var data:Object = xmlData as Object;
[/code]
Although one of the capabilities with AS3 and E4X is that xml
data is accesible as an object. I mean
xmlData.node1.node2.(@attribute1) etc...
