ALF to XML conversion

Hi,
I need to convert SAP generated ALF Printlists to XML format. For that I need to understand the structure of ALF (rather the grammar) so that I can parse it for XML conversion. May I know where I can get information on this? I will be using Java for XML conversion.
Thanks,
Praneeth

use Transformer classes.
String xslDoc = "abc.xsl";
String xmlDoc = "xyz.xml";
String xmlResult = "result.xml";
DocumentBuilderFactory dfactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(xslDoc));
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(new File(xmlResult));
StreamResult output = new StreamResult(fw);
transformer.transform(new StreamSource(new File(xmlDoc)), output);

Issue in Excel to XML Conversion

Hi Gurus,
I am creating a custom java module in sap nwds 7.3 for Excel to XML Conversion. But I am getting following error

Date format in XML conversion

Hello,
I am using oracle8i. The date format is not giving the proper date values in XML conversion..
create table test(dt date);
insert into test values(sysdate);
insert into test values(sysdate);
insert into test values(sysdate);
TEST.WORLD> select * from test;
DT
28-NOV-04
28-NOV-04
28-NOV-04
set autoprint on
set long 100000
set linesize 100000
set longchunksize 100000
var g_clob clob
declare
l_ctx dbms_xmlquery.ctxType;
l_clob clob;
begin
l_ctx := dbms_xmlquery.newContext('select dt from test');
dbms_lob.createtemporary(:g_clob,true,dbms_lob.session);
dbms_xmlquery.setdateformat(l_ctx,'yyyy-mm-dd');
:g_clob := dbms_xmlquery.getXml(l_ctx);
end;
Here is the output . It is dispalying the 03 For the month november.
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW num="1">
<DT>2004-03-28</DT>
</ROW>
<ROW num="2">
<DT>2004-03-28</DT>
</ROW>
<ROW num="3">
<DT>2004-03-28</DT>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>

When you call DBMS_XMLQUERY.SETDATEFORMAT, you must supply the mask using the syntax defined by java.text.SimpleDateFormat.
You need to use "yyyy-MM-dd".
In your case, "yyyy-mm-dd", the lower case "mm" is the mask for minutes.

JAVA Mapping for XML conversion during runtime

Dear SAP JAVA experts,
For quite I have been struggling to keep the JAVA code in place for JSON to XML conversion being a newbie.
Following is the code snippet.
import java.io.InputStream;
import net.sf.json.JSON;
import net.sf.json.JSONSerializer;
import net.sf.json.xml.XMLSerializer;
import org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils;

import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.TransformationOutput;
import com.sap.aii.utilxi.core.io.IOUtil;
public class RuntimeJSONtoXML extends AbstractTransformation {
public void transform(TransformationInput input, TransformationOutput output)
throws StreamTransformationException {
try
//InputStream is = JSONtoXML.class.getResourceAsStream("JSON.txt");
   String strJSON = "";
   InputStream inputStream = input.getInputPayload().getInputStream();
   inputStream.close();
   String jsonData = IOUtils.toString(strJSON);
           XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer();
           JSON json = JSONSerializer.toJSON( jsonData );
           String xml = serializer.write( json );
           //System.out.println(xml);
           output.getOutputPayload().getOutputStream().write(strJSON.getBytes());
catch(Exception ie) { }
Caught unaware of 2 queries.
1.I have added the com.sap.aii.utilxi.core.io.IOUtil jar files from the PI server even though its displays error "The com.sap.aii.utilxi can not be resolved". Also I added the XPI libraries in NWDS but nothing moving to solve the issue.
2. I have commented the line of code where I have placed a test file in the path to test it i.e. JSON.text. But when it is deployed as Archived files, then this code has to be replaced.
The Method toString(InputStream) in the type IOUtils is not applicable for the arguments (String)

Rebecca..

Which jar file did you add?
/usr/sap/<<SID>>/DVEBMGS<<SYSNO>>/j2ee/cluster/bin/ext/com.sap.xi.util.misc/lib
jar file name : com.sap.aii.utilxi.core.jar

To read the input stream you should have
InputStream inputstream = transformationInput.getInputPayload().getInputStream();
Please refer to below blog just to get an idea on working with input stream and output stream.

Seeburger EDI Text to EDI XML conversion failure should throw an error

Hi,
I am expecting an error message to be thrown when EDI Text to EDI XML conversion fails at Message splitter of Seeburger module. I am getting the following error in the log.
"2012-01-19T01:46:08.032-0800 ERROR [Error:ID=2150;LEVEL=3] counter value (41) of incoming field (UNB.UNH.UNT:0074) doesnt match the calculated value (39).
DESCRIPTION: Either the counter value is not filled in the source file or the counter field value is wrong. "
But my expectation is that the channel should show some error in Adapter Engine monitoring itself. As shown below, it is just showing some warning that because of above error, it is not creating the attachment. Now I am expecting the the following warning to be an error rather than just warning. Please let me know if any idea on the same.

Thanks you all for your inputs..
I got the solution for the same.
I need to set the mapping program name specifically rather than AUTO for bic mappingName parameter. This has turned my communication channel status in RWB into Red for errors.

I am doing Idoc to XML conversion using standard program RSEINB00. Can anyone plz tell me what are the pre-requisites to executing this program? I am getting an error message Port XXX segment defn YYYYY in IDoc type ZZZZZ CIM type do not exist.
Why am i getting this error? and what is the slution for it?
Regards,

Hi
Delete the metadata in IDX2 for the corresponding IDOC type in PI.
Also re-import the same in IDX2.
Reimport the IDOC type into Integration Repository under your SWCV.
Then check it..
Refresh the cache also.

Hi Sanjay,
The JDBC sender adapter returns the rows selected from the database in the follwoing format.
<resultset>
<row>
<column-name1>column-value</ column-name1>
<column-name2>column-value</ column-name2>
<column-name3>column-value</ column-name3>
</row>
<row>
<column-name1>column-value</ column-name1>
<column-name2>column-value</ column-name2>
<column-name3>column-value</ column-name3>
</row>
</resultset>
This error occurs , when the source datatype you have created for the JDBC adapter does not match with this format. I would suggest that you check the source format along with the occurence of your field.

CDATA issue in RFC XML conversion

Hi all,
I am trying to consume a webservice from ABAP. One of the webservice method responds with a data holding an xml fragment under the tags CDATA, like,
<!CDATA[[<?xml version="1.0" encoding=.....]]>
But the program throws exception during RFC XML conversion.
However i could find the correct response payload in the error log in ST11 transaction.
Pls advice.

Hi,
as this is not a proper CDATA
try:
<![CDATA[ cdata text ]]>
you can test it easily by opening with IExplorer

IBR: Setting up DOC to XML Conversion

Hello,
I need to enable automatic conversion of DOC,DOCX documents to XML format.
I've set up IBR enabling XML Converter component then restarted IBR server. I've configured an outgoing provider from UCM to IBR and the connection is good.
When I check-in a DOC (or DOCX) file it says "GeneratingWWW" but the web viewable format generated still remains a .doc (or .docx) document.
Am I missing something??Maybe there is some additional configuration parameter to set in UCM??
Thank you in advance forn any answer.
Best Regards.

I've figured out what's missing so I've solved the problem.
I (stupidly) simply forgot to enable XML conversion on "Primary Web-Viewable Rendition" tab.
Sorry for this topic! ;)
Greets! ;)

MessageTransformBean in sender JMS Adapter flat file to xml conversion

Hi All,
The scenario is MQ (Flat File ) --->PI -
>Idoc
The flat file structure is
112233
AABBCC
The expected XML Structure after using MessageTransformBean in the sender JMS adapter is
<Record>
<Row>
<f1>11</f1>
<f2>22</f2>
<f3>33</f3>
</Row>
<Row>
<f1>AA</f1>
<f2>BB</f2>
<f3>CC</f3>
</Row>
</Record>
But I am getting 2 SEPARATE xml messages each with only one Row in it like the following
1st XML:
<Record>
<Row>
<f1>11</f1>
<f2>22</f2>
<f3>33</f3>
</Row>
</Record>
2nd XML:
<Record>
<Row>
<f1>AA</f1>
<f2>BB</f2>
<f3>CC</f3>
</Row>
</Record>
I would like to have one xml message with all rows in it.It seems the MessageTransformBean is not recognizing the end of line in the flat file.Do i need to use endSeparator explicitly.
I followed the "How to use Content Conversion in JMS Adapter " and configured the adapter,still no luck..
Any Help greatly Appreciated
Thanks,
C

Hi Chirag,
The parameter name sequence changes alphabetically by itself when I save and activate it eventhough I enter as it is in the document.How to stop changing this sequence or put it the order as required in the Module Processor.
Currently my sequence is
Transform.Class
Transform.ContentType
xml.conversionType
xml.documentName
xml.documentNamespace
xml.fieldFixedLengths
xml.fieldNames
xml.processFieldNames
xml.structureTitle
Let me know how to change the sequence ,if that is the issue.
Thanks,
C

Flat Idoc to Idoc XML conversion error.

Hi All,
We are using PI 7.1 EHP1, Where in we would like to see the capabilty of User-Module for Conversion of IDoc Messages Between Flat and XML Formats. Gone thru the below blog and maintained the necessary NWA configurations:
How to Use User-Module for Conversion of IDoc Messages Between Flat and XML Formats
While testing phase, The file is not been picked by the Sender File Adapter and the below error is been displayed in RWB:
"MP: exception caught with cause com.sap.conn.idoc.IDocParseException: (7) IDOC_ERROR_PARSE_FAILURE: Invalid character encountered in XML input data source: state=INITIAL, charPosition=0, lineNumber=1, columnNumber=1, invalidChar=U+0045, sourceSnippet=...EDI_DC40 510000000002889077846C 3012 SHPMNT05 ZSHPMNT9 S... ^"
Any Clues?
Thnx

Hi Stefan,
You are right i have maintained the mandatory parameters (SAPRelease, SourceJRA, TargetDestination) within the sender File adapter module key parameters.
Now getting another error within Comm Channel Monitoring:
MP: exception caught with cause java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
Any Clues?
Thnx

Error in Flat File to XML conversion

Hi all,
I am trying to convert a flat file to XML using the Sender File Adapter and I am getting the following error message.
2006-01-23 17:23:00 EST: Error: Conversion of complete file content to XML format failed around position 0: Exception: ERROR converting document line no. 2 according to structure 'GL_FileUpload_SAPECC_Header_DT1':java.lang.Exception: ERROR in configuration: more elements in file csv structure than field names specified!
My flat file looks like this,

GL,GLI,4011,3011,,,,,,AU,600,7000,8000,9000,5000,RK,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
---End
The adapter configuration is like this:

Document Namespace: urn:corptech.qld.gov.au:sss_std_offering:gl
RecordSet Name: GL_FileUpload_SAPECC_Record_DT1

      GLAccount                     Element
---End
Any help or suggestion please.
Thank you.

Hi, Ranjan.
First of all, let's look at the meaning of the error.
> ...Exception: ERROR converting document line no. 2 according to
> structure 'GL_FileUpload_SAPECC_Header_DT1':java.lang.Exception:
> ERROR in configuration: more elements in file csv structure than
> field names specified!
It seems that XI interpreted 2nd line as
Header_DT1 not as Item_DT1 that you meant.
> GL,GLI,4011,3011,,,,,,AU,600,7000,8000,9000,5000,RK,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
That's why it says this line has more elements than the structure
defined(Header_DT1)
And the reason why XI misinterpreted the above as Header is that
you used keyFieldValue with the same value.
> ...Header_DT1.keyFieldValue: GL
> ...Item_DT1.keyFieldValue: GL
According to the following help,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/content.htm
it says like the following.
Key Field Name
If you specified a variable number of substructures for Recordset
Structure, in other words, at least one substructure has the value
*, then the substructures must be identified by the parser from
their content. This means that a key field must be set with different
constants for the substructures. In this case, you must specify a key
field and the field name must occur in all substructures.
How about using different constants for header and item if possible?
Good luck.
