ALV TO XML

Hi Experts !!
I have created an ALV which shows some Data!!

Then what should I do to create an XML file which contain only the data returned by the function module 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' ?!!

OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED error while exporting ALV to XML

Hi,
We've developed an ALV report that uses a dynamic internal table to populate its data (this is beacause we needed dynamic columns). ALV displays properly and cells have INT4 type because we needed to print totals and subtotals. All export functions work properly (I can export to XLS without any problem) except XML export which throws the following error:

I found something else..
If I disable totals and subtotals in my ALV export to XML works!
I simply commented the line wa_fieldcat-do_sum = 'X'. and it worked fine.
Is there any kind of restriction with subtotals/totals and export?
Many thanks
Josep

ALV to XML conversion

ALV to XML format

Hi all,
My requirement is to download the ALV output into XML based on the variant.
For example: If my ALV displays 3 fields in the output,only those field's information should be displayed in the downloaded XML file.
Your suggestions would be really valuable.
Thanks..

For example say your ALV output table is gt_output, and the frontend field catalog is gt_fcat:
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <field> type any.
loop at gt_output assigning <output>.
loop at gt_fcat assigning <fcat> where tech eq abap_false and no_out eq abap_false. "Ignore hidden entries
assign component <fcat>-fieldname of structure <output> to <field>.
"Now write the field to your XML structure.
endloop.
endloop.
Alternatively you can build the output into an internal table with a key-value pair eg FIELDNAME and VALUE and then use a Simple transformation to convert to XML - personally this might be a better way to go if you know transformations.
Cheers
Alex

Hi, and thanks for the input.
Since by manually exporting an ALV list to XML format, i get the data in the desired XML format, I assume that there already are function modules or classes in the system to do the conversion for me; or is it a wrong assumption?
I'm looking at class CL_SALV_WD_EXPORT_UTIL, which exposes a method to convert ALV to XML format, but i can't seem to understand how to use it; and in a Webdynpro context I can't use anything which is GUI-dependent.
I thought that OfficeControl UI was for "Office Integration", that means there should be a well-defined set of common function, and that i was simply missing how to use them, not that i should learn how to use Microsoft internal XML representation of data.
So, the OfficeControl is intended to provide an IFrame-like embedding to an Office Document with no high-level support?

Download greater than 255 characters from alv into excel sheet

Hi,
I have an ALV grid display report where the last field contains close to 600 characters of text.
When I use the Export -> Local File -> Spreadsheet option and save it in an excel sheet, only first 255 characters are getting downloaded into excelsheet and rest is not gettting downloaded.
Solution I have is: Keep a button on the screen. If that button is clicked, use GUI_DOWNLOAD FM and the entire text (all 600 chars) gets downloaded.
Is there any other solution to the above problem?
I tried downloading the alv report into XML format and opened as an excel document, but even then only first 255 characters are apearing in excel cell.
The domain has length 2048 chars for the final internal table in alv, so there is no problem with data element or domain.
OIn debugging mode, I am able to see all the 600 chars in the final internal table before alv display.
It looks like there is a constraint in alv that is can display only 255 characters in a cell.
ALso, I tried converting the grid display to list display and then download into excel , but the result is same.
Please help.

XML file to ABAP report..gidance needed on approach

Hello All,
We have an existing ccBPM enabled interface between SAP-ECC and a 3rd party via PI. Currently after all the to-and-fro processing, 3rd party sends an XML FINAL-RESPONSE-FILE to PI, which resides on a folder in PI server. ( Interface ends here)
Now the requirement is that we need to enhance this interface or create a new one which would pick the XML FINAL_RESPONSE_FILE and format the XML data and present it in user-friendly form in terms of a report /alv.
What I want to know is:
1> Should we enhance the existing interface and ccBPM to wait for this final-response file to come and then trigger some BAPI or maybe a proxy to send this data to ECC for further processing.
OR
2> Should we create a sepaarte interface which picks this file asynchronously and sends to ECC for further processing.
OR
3> Should a create an ABAP report, which would pick this file from PI server and format the data and create an report out of it. ( Here I assume SAP must be havinga fm to convert XML to some internal table readable format)...please advise if there is such an FM.
OR
4> Is there any better approach for my scenario - I am a newbie in ccBPM.
Many thanks
Shirin

Hi,
1> Should we enhance the existing interface and ccBPM to wait for this final-response file to come and then trigger some BAPI or maybe a proxy to send this data to ECC for further processing.
No...if you are planning to make the ccBPM wait then avoid this design...it will keep on utilising system resources till the response gets back...
OR
2> Should we create a sepaarte interface which picks this file asynchronously and sends to ECC for further processing.
you can try this one.....rather I would have tried this one:)
If you have a guarentee that the response will come within a stipulated time-period (say X secs...not very large) and if you are not supposed to create a new interface...then go for change in BPM

REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY Download to XML

I'm trying to export an ALV report into XML format from our ECC 6 system. From the export->spreadsheet option, I selected the 2003 XML spreadsheet format; however, when Excel 2010 starts up, it displayed a "Problem During Load" pop up box with the text "Table" in it. I recently upgraded to Office 2010.

Looks like I need to load the latest SAP GUI to correct the problem.

ALV GRID FORMAT IN BACKGROUND

Dear All,
There is t code called MB51 which the user use, we recommend them to execute that report in the background using this method -- t code-- execute in background--- enter the printer name and generate the temporary spool to veiw the report, however when we veiw that report using spo2, the tool bar (that comes when we execute in the foreround) is missing, which is used to veiw it in the ALV grid format, actually the user easily select the feilds in that format and download them to excel sheets, in the background that " Details" option is not there, is there any work around for this.
Thanks,..
Ravi.

Hi Clemens,
Thanks for that valuable suggestion, atleast I got a direction to think about, so from here on its gotta be xml...
But, since I have no idea about xml coding, also I went through those 2 links you had sent, but I'm still unable to understand the following points:
1.How do I generate the xml code, relevant to formatting that I did in ALV Grid using the FM "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY"?
2. How do I go about saving the xml file onto the Application server?
3. Can you please provide any sample ALV report code, where such XML formatting has been used?
Thanks in advance.

ALV Excel in-place in Portal

Dear gurus,
i wonder if:
1) ALV Excel inplace can be used within portal
2) if yes, what configuration steps I must maintain (if there is any document about it, could anybody point me to it?)
3) if not, can anybody suggest any alternative? I need to have my Excels formatted (like using OLE or when I generate a XML Office file, but that would take me too long to create all the outputs one by one) and if possible opened from the portal. If that could not be done, my users would accept to save it first and open the file then.
4) I need this functionality because on my portal the users access the standard ERP transactions (through ITS or WebGUI or how exactly that is called). If I could do any programming, I would use Office UI WebDynpro container, but obviously I cannot do that. That is the reason I look for some SAP standard way how to do this.
Thank you for your time and effort if you ave read this far:))¨
Have a nice day everybody, regards Otto

Looks like there is not real progress regarding this topic. Excel in-place is not supported in any GUI version except the SAP GUI for windows. For anybody who would struggle and waste time like me, please read here:
Note 512068 - Office integration and SAP GUI for HTML
Note 822867 - Desktop Office Integration: No support for ITS & Java GUI
