Call Transformation Problem

Hi All,
Our SAP system is recently upgraded to ECC 6.0 from 4.7. I am getting a runtime error while executing a program. I debugged the code and came to know that the runtime error is because of the following statement.
 CALL TRANSFORMATION (`Z_XSLT_QUERY_RESULT`)
 SOURCE XML w_xml_out
 RESULT outtab = <outtab>.
Please see below for more info on the runtime error.
Runtime Errors TRANSFORMATION_NOT_FOUND
Except. CX_INVALID_TRANSFORMATION
Date and Time 07/17/2007 10:32:11
Short text
 No load could be found for transformation "Z_XSLT_QUERY_RESULT".
What happened?
 A load was searched for transformation "Z_XSLT_QUERY_RESULT". This action
 failed.
Error analysis
 An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
 The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_INVALID_TRANSFORMATION', was not
 caught in
 procedure "PROCESS_FM" "(FORM)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.
 Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
 exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
 The reason for the exception is:
 A load was searched for transformation "Z_XSLT_QUERY_RESULT". This action was
 unsuccessful
 . Either the transformation does not exist or it contains syntax errors.
I checked executing the same program in 4.7 and it works fine.
Any info on this is appreciated.
Thanks,
Naga

Hi,
If the transformation is named Z_XSLT_QUERY_RESULT, the call transformation must be called as CALL TRANSFORMATION Z_XSLT_QUERY_RESULT (No parentheses or quotes are needed). If it is a dynamic transformation call, the it must be called as CALL TRANSFORMATION (Z_XSLT_QUERY_RESULT) (No quotes). You can use one of these contructions according to the type of the transformation call.

Problem with CALL TRANSFORMATION xml - abap

Hello!
I got the following problems using call transformation to read a xml-file to local abap datatype!
Simple xml file for testing:
<BMECAT>
<HEADER>
asdf
</HEADER>
</BMECAT>
XSLT file:
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
 <xsl:value-of select="./BMECAT/HEADER"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
The xslt transformation works with xslt-tester!
My Source:
DATA: xmlupl TYPE string,
outputx TYPE XSTRING,
lv_string TYPE string.
* in xmlupl my xml import is stored
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
EXPORTING
text = xmlupl " variable type string
IMPORTING
buffer = outputx. " variable type xstring
TRY .
 CALL TRANSFORMATION path_to_xslt_file
 SOURCE XML outputx
 RESULT HEADER = lv_string.
CATCH cx_xslt_exception INTO xslt_error.
 data: xslt_message type string .
 xslt_message = xslt_error->get_text( ).
ENDTRY.
After debugging in xslt_message is stored the following text:
"The element abap was expected for the XML-ABAP transformation"
Can anyone help me with this problem?

Daniel

hi
good
try this code
Just look at this piece of code, I think it should help you.
DATA : ITAB TYPE TABLE OF SPFLI,
 L_XML TYPE REF TO CL_XML_DOCUMENT.
SELECT * FROM SPFLI INTO TABLE ITAB.
CREATE THE XML OBJECT
CREATE OBJECT L_XML.
CONVERT THE DATA TO XML

Problems with creating XML file via Call Transformation

Hi,
When creating a XML file via Call transformation an extra character '#'is placed at the beginning of the file.
This problems occurs since the upgrade to ECC6.0 and the Unicode conversion.
When opening the XML file the following error message appears:
Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource 'file ....
Has anybody an idea why this extra character is placed at the beginning of the file. Has it something to do with the unicode conversion and how can we solve the problem?
thanks for your help
kind regards,
Maarten van IJzendoorn

Hello Marteen,
Can you please share the solution to this issue and let me know.
Our Issue:
1) We are executing a report which generates an XML file on FTP.
2) The FTP file is always in Error when executed thorugh JAPANESE login but not thorugh EN login.
3) The XML files generated have always an extra character in the end ( which can be space,#,$%^&, etc.) when this extra character is removed from XML file with opening it in NOTEPAD then XML works OK in JA login as well.
4) In the PROGRAM everything has been checked with respect to OPEN dataset statement , XML ports UNICODE etc.
5) THIS issue has been reported only after upgrading to ECC 6.0 from 4.6C.( in older version it works fine).
Various OPEN dataset statments are :
OPEN DATASET path_fil
FOR OUTPUT
Thanks to reply.

Problem with "CALL Transformation" in ABAP

Hello All,
I am creating XML from ABAP program and using CALL TRANSFORMATION. Everything works fine but when my XML is created sometimes in some "element" values it is truncating space between the texts. For example, I have a field "description" with value "Bon Apetite" it changes to "BonApetite" (space truncated) after transformation! I did research everywhere but could not find why this would happen! Please give me any feedback if you have any information.
Thanks.
Mithun

Hello Mithun,
when you use the call transformation statement you have to specifiy the xslt transformation used. As a first step you usually use the transformation with the name ID. This is a special transformation for making the asXML representation of abap data. Unfortunately if you look into this transformation you find the following:
<xsl:transform version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
If I remember correctly when you use another transformation this will first call the ID transformation and after this the specified one. So it should not be possible to just copy ID transformation and remove the line. I'll have to think again how to avoid the behaviour.

Problem with Call Transformation (ABAP to XML)

Hello
   I call the tranformation function to serialize. I want to convert a ABAP internal table into XML.One of the column type is of time(t). On transformation, the values are changed.
Ex : If I have a value of 000009 (time format), on calling transformation it gets converted to 00:00:09. I dont want this conversion. I want to have the value as it is. I cant change the column data type from time to string.

Problem XML .. Call Transformation

Hi Guru´s,
Please, I need a help!!! ...
I´m creating an XML and my Excel will open it...and I use Call transformation.
Ok, it´s works perfect.... but I had to include a validating data in particular column(ranges data) and I can´t do it...

But don´t work fine. I suspect that data validation not working very well in call transformation...

Como salvar o resultado de um call transformation em um diretorio local?

Tudo bem pessoal,
Estou em um desenvolvimento onde tenho que salvar o resultado de um CALL TRANSFORMATION e ter como resultado um XML posteriormente salva-lo em um diretorio local, do SAP para desktop, estou tendo o resultado correto e consigo ver atraves de uma função chamada 'SWF_XML_DISPLAY' passando o resutlato com a variavel do tipo XSTRING.
No momento de usar o gui_download recebo uma exceção por objeto não pode ser convertido, já tentei fazer a conversão para binario e neste scenario consigo salvar mas o resultado não segue o padrão xml com as tag definidas e eu gostaria de salvar no padrão do XML.
Alguém poderia me ajudar nesse problema?
Desde já agradeço a atenção de todos.
Grazziani Batista

Nunca usei CALL TRANSFORMATION, mas dê uma olhada nisso:

Outra coisa... evite postar em português, geralmente só respondem em inglês.
Boa sorte

Creating XML file Using Call Transformation

Hello Friends,
 I have searched before posting thread, couldnt find anything.
 I am creating an XML file using Call Transformation. My internal table has 3 date fields and some other fields. For some records I dont have values for the date fields. In that case my XML file is giving the date value as 0000-00-00 since I declared it as Date type. This value 0000-00-00 is not accepted by the middle ware as the valid date. I can not change it as String type as per the suggestion.
In that case I am advised to skip printing the date field tag if it doesnt have value.
 Is there any way to skip the date field if it is empty. Any Suggestions please ?.
Thanks
Lakshmi.

Hi,
I had exactly the same problem before. When you call a transformation there is an option called initial_components. According to SAP if you use initial_components = 'SUPRESS' the empty fields should not being generated on the XML.
Now, this didn't work for me and I have seen some people with the same problem. Here is how I solved this (maybe not the best way but it worked):
First: My fields are all CHAR in my table
Second: In the transformation, you can use conditional transformation to not display a tag if field is empty, here a piece of my transformation (I am using simple transformations):
 <tt:root name="ROOT"/>
 <tt:cond s-check="not-initial(ref('ROOT.L1_NM')) or not-initial(ref('ROOT.L2_NM'))">
 <TRNMTR_NM>
 <tt:cond s-check="not-initial(ref('ROOT.L1_NM'))">
 <l1_nm>
 <tt:value ref="ROOT.L1_NM"/>
 </l1_nm>
 </tt:cond>
 <tt:cond s-check="not-initial(ref('ROOT.L2_NM'))">
 <l2_nm>
 <tt:value ref="ROOT.L2_NM"/>
 </l2_nm>
 </tt:cond>
 </TRNMTR_NM>
 </tt:cond>
As you can see, I first check if the fields have values.
Hope it helps

If we create a ZZZ transformation of type ST, it would be something like this (I didn't test). Note that I concatenated the date and time, because field operations in ST are not possible (we should use XSLT instead, but it's counter performant):

XSLT Transformation problem

Hi,
hope anybody can help.
I try to transform a object to another object via XSLT transformation.
Here is my coding :
DATA: wa_transformation TYPE y0dpl_structures.
DATA: obj_import TYPE abap_trans_srcbind_tab,
 wa_import TYPE abap_trans_srcbind.
DATA: obj_export TYPE abap_trans_resbind_tab,
 wa_export TYPE abap_trans_resbind.
DATA: obj_data TYPE REF TO data.
* Get transformation data
SELECT SINGLE *
INTO wa_transformation
FROM y0dpl_structures
WHERE filetype = i_file_type.
* Create table with internal structure
CREATE DATA e_data TYPE (wa_transformation-structure_name).
wa_import-name = 'IMPORT'.
GET REFERENCE OF i_data INTO wa_import-value.
APPEND wa_import TO obj_import.
* Call transformation
CALL TRANSFORMATION (wa_transformation-transformation)
SOURCE (obj_import)
RESULT (obj_export).
i_data is a import parameter from type "ref to data".
My problem is, that "Call transformation" makes a shortdump when calling them.
Regards,
Anton

Found a solution for my problem. Now it works!

* Get transformation data
SELECT SINGLE *

FROM y0dpl_structures
WHERE filetype = i_file_type.
IF sy-subrc IS INITIAL.
* Create table with internal structure
 CREATE DATA e_data TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF (wa_transformation-structure_name).
 ASSIGN i_data->* TO <data>.
 wa_import-name = 'IMPORT'.
 GET REFERENCE OF <data> INTO wa_import-value.
 APPEND wa_import TO obj_import.

ABAP-Mapping with CALL TRANSFORMATION

Hi everybody,
I got an ABAP mapping that uses CALL TRANSFORMATION:
TRY.
      CALL TRANSFORMATION (strxsltid)
        SOURCE XML IDOCXML_DOCUMENT
        RESULT XML result.
    CATCH cx_xslt_abap_call_error INTO lr_oref.
      text = lr_oref->get_text( ).
ENDTRY.
The TRANSFORMATION returns result THAT GETS ALREADY serialized!
On base of the result I want to create an new output document:
* Create output document
DATA: li_odocument TYPE REF TO if_ixml_document.
li_odocument = NEW_DOCUMENT.
* Render document
DATA: li_ostream TYPE REF TO if_ixml_ostream.
li_ostream = li_streamfactory->create_ostream_xstring( result ).
* Create renderer
DATA: li_renderer TYPE REF TO if_ixml_renderer.
li_renderer = li_ixmlfactory->create_renderer( ostream = li_ostream
                                                 document = li_odocument ).
li_renderer->render( ).
--> The problem is, that already CALL TRANSFORMATION creates a output document. so at the end of the mapping I got a new document wich includes the result of CALL TRANSFORMATION and NEW_DOCUMENT in one document.
How can I suppress CALL TRANSFORMATION from writing the output-stream?
Thanks regards

CALL TRANSFORMATION on Unicode WebAS 6.20: No valid source context supplied

Hello,
in the last day's I was stuck into a strange problem. I had to develop a Web Service Client on our Web AS 6.20 Unicode system. I followed the Blog <a href="/people/durairaj.athavanraja/blog/2004/09/20/consuming-web-service-from-abap">Consuming Web Service from ABAP</a>. The problem was that my CALL TRANSFORMATION always throwed an exception "No valid source context supplied". I've tested the transformation with a local copy of the XML the Web Service returned and it works quite well. I had a look into the Documentaion of CALL TRANSFORMATION and it says:
== Documentation Quote Begin ==
Addition 3a
... SOURCE XML sxml
Effect
Specification of the transformation source
Transfer the XML document sxml using addition 3a. The following three possibilities exist for specifiying sxml:
The XML document can be in an ABAP variable sxml of the type STRING or XSTRING or in an internal standard table sxml of the elementary line type C.
== Documentation Quote End ==
So there should be no difference between STRING and XSTRING. But there is a difference! Here is my testcase which I've derived from my Blog <a href="/people/gregor.wolf3/blog/2006/06/27/geocode-business-partner-with-google-maps">Geocode Business Partner with Google Maps</a>:

Result
This is the result on our 6.20 Unicode System:
Transformation with STRING
No valid source context supplied
LON:
LAT:
ALT:
Transformation with XSTRING
LON: 12.570504
LAT: 48.078269
ALT: 0
I've tried it on our 6.20 and 6.40 NON-Unicode systems and the result was:
Transformation with STRING
LON: 12.570504
LAT: 48.078269
ALT: 0
Transformation with XSTRING
LON: 12.570504
LAT: 48.078269
ALT: 0
Finaly I've tried it on our Solutin Manager 4.0 which runs on Web AS 7.00 and is also a Unicode installation. Here the result is correct:
Transformation with STRING
LON: 12.570504
LAT: 48.078269
ALT: 0
Transformation with XSTRING
LON: 12.570504
LAT: 48.078269
ALT: 0
So now what to do? I've found nothing in OSS regarding this behaviour. Any tips? I also try a OSS Message.

XSLT and Call transformation

Hi
Using XSLT and Call transformation (XSLT scheme) to convert XML file to html the problem is that line breaks in xml are ignored when passing the call tranformation.
Note in xml look like:
<com:Note><![CDATA[
Serie 87% 0,000000
Amount in this period 01-01-2006 - 01-07-2006 - 180 days
Currency 16.267.117,38 DKK
Loan DKK 14.332.700,00
Debt 7.358.534,23
Indexsfactor 226,230
]]></com:Note>
When HTML displayed in sap, - note is just a long string which continue out of the screen. Note looks like:Serie 87% 0,000000Amount in this period 01-01-2006 - 01-07-2006 - 180 daysCurrency 16.267.117,38 DKKDebt 7.358.534,23Indexsfactor 226,230
What to do ? Any ideas ?

hi Jan,
Check out the link
http://www.topxml.com/code/default.asp?p=3&id=v20031025170911&ms=20&l=xsl&sw=categ
This link contains a file that contains an importable xslt stylesheet with two templates. The first is a text wrap template that breaks texts at carriage returns. You need to modify the xslt.
[code]<xsl:template name="text.wrap">
 <xsl:param name="texttowrap"/>
 <xsl:variable name="textlength" select="string-length($texttowrap)"/>
 
 <xsl:if test="$textlength > 0">
 <xsl:choose>
 <xsl:when test="contains($texttowrap,$CR)">
 
 <xsl:variable name="linebeforefirstbreak" select="substring-before($texttowrap,$CR)"/>
.................[/code]
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Richa

XSLT, Call transformation, Character Set

Hi
Using call transformation (XSLT scheme) to convert XML file to html the problem is that
When HTML displayed in sap, - name 'Søren Fjællegård' is displayed like 'S#ren Fj#lleg#rd'
What to do ? Any ideas to handle special character sets

Hi Jon,
What is the XSLT program that you're using to transform the XML?
Can you try modifying the XSLT stylesheet and add or modify the following attribute.
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>

Erwin
