ASCII to XML conversion

LS,
I've been asked to check whether OWB can be used as a conversion tool for ASCII into XML.
I've found some references of OWB being capable of reading XML sources, but haven't found concrete answers about XML output.
Is it possible to use OWB to access an ASCII flat file (as an external table for instance) and then map the read data to an XML output file?
Thanks, Patrick

Patrick,
There are no specific features for converting ASCII files into XML, but OWB could be used for this purpose since it does write to file targets. The mapping would read from the ascii file as a source (you could use external tables for this, for example), perform the logic inside the map (wrap data in XML tags, etc.) and then target the output file. You could even use DB tables as XML containers / staging areas.

Igor

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.

   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)

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.

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.

Bhavesh

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

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);

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! ;)

ASCII to binary conversion

Does anyone knows how to convert the ASCII value to binary? For example
ASCII 'U' to 01010101?

Hi,
If I understood you correctly, you want to convert a character eg:'U' to
its ASCII value which is 85 (in binary representation 01010101).
With the following method you can convert the first character of a string to
a one byte long unsigned integer.
method BaseClass.CharToInt(input pStr: Framework.string): Framework.ui1
begin
return *(pointer to ui1)(*(pointer to pointer)(&pStr));
end method;
See also the attached .pex file for some more, usefull little methods...

Ascii to xml to oracle

My name is robert and I am a PhD student at UCLA. I am a novice in using XML and Oracle. I would like to know what utilities and/or drivers I need to go from ascii to xml to oracle.
I am using Oracle 8, Windows 2000 and Ie5. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Robert

May I know what delimiters are you using? Seems like payload is not UTF-8 encoded and hence SOA is not able to understand the character. Make sure that payload is UTF-8 encoded.
