Creating XML files with the DME

Hi All,
I'm working on an integration project between my company and HSBC, they are requesting that we supply our AP payment files for foreign currency in XML format.
I have some limited experience with the DME and know it can create XML files, however, the elements available for XML files are different to standard flat files. Also it doesnt seem like I can create files with multiple levels? e.g.
<InitgPty>
......... <Id>
............... <OrgId>
...................... <BkPtyId>ABC00103003</BkPtyId>
.............. </OrgId>
........ </Id>
</InitgPty>
Does anyone have any documentation or experience with creating XML files with DME?
thanks
Phil.

Hi,
Please ask any Implementation team in ABAB or Report painter team with your friends,
Thanks and REgards

Creation of XML files with the DME Engine

Hi Experts,
For a Belgium client, I have a requirement to generate DME file in XML format for payments made to foreign and domestic vendors. I want to know the following,
1. Can DME file be generated in XML format using classic payment medium programs RFFOBE_E and RFFOBE_I.
2. If not why and what are the other options.
3. I also came to know that there is an options of using Payment medium workbench - through XML format trees BE_BEPDTA and BE_PIBDTA. But since we are in 4.6C, i am not able to create a payment format. Is there any support package or patch that is required.
4. I tried for SEPA_CT - again a XML format tree but was not very successful as that too was not available in SAP 4.6C. Is there any way that I can get this done in 4.6C - any support packages or patches available?
Thanks

HEllo,
1.Classic RFFO* programs don't support XML files. Technical constraint.
2.XML can be generated through DME tree ( PMW in this case ).
3.PMW is available as of 4.6C SP 34.
4.XML is available in DME Engine as of 4.6C SP 47.

Create XML File with codepage (not UNICODE)

Hi all ,
I'm using the SDIXML_DATA_TO_DOM function module to create a xml format from an internal table, finally I write the internal table in xml format to file in the application server.
Finally I get a file in XML format in UTF-8 (UNICODE), but I have to convert the UTF-8 into other codepage because the file is send to other system which not familiar with the UNICODE.
Does anyone knows how to convert the codepage for the xml internal table ?
Thanks,
Yaki

Another option rather than converting it after the fact is to have it create the XML file in the encoding that you want to begin with. It looks like this function module you mention will either accept a pointer to a XML document object or create one for you. I would suggest that you go ahead and create a document yourself and pass it to the function module.
ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ).
document = ixml->create_document( ).
You can then call the method SET_ENCODING of the class IF_IXML_DOCUMENT. The encoding itself is another class of type IF_IXML_ENCODING. You can set the character set in this object using method SET_CHARACTER_SET.

Create XML file with worksheet's dynamically assigned through XSLT

Hi all
I have a requirement to create a xml file with worksheets dynamically created based on a field value in the internal table .
I have all my values in internal table, and am calling the transformation from bsp application.
Say the internal table has field dataxyz, for every change in value in this field dataxyz i need to create separate worksheet and populate that sheet with some corresponding values .

Create xml file with values from context

Hi experts!
I am trying to implement a WD application that will have some input fields, the value of those input fields will be used to create an xml file with a certain format and then sent to a certain application.
Apart from this i want to read an xml file back from the application and then fill some other context nodes with values from the xml file.
Is there any standard used code to do this??
If not how can i do this???
Thanx in advance!!!
P.S. Points will be rewarded to all usefull answers.

Hi,
you need to create three util class for that:-
XMLHandler
XMLParser
XMLBuilder
for example in my XML two tag item will be there e.g. Title and Organizer,and from ur WebDynpro view you need to pass value for the XML tag.
And u need to call buildXML()function of builder class to generate XML, in that i have passed bean object to get the values of tags. you need to set the value in bean from the view ui context.

How can I create a file with the excel file type?

I work with forms 4.5 and I could create "TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE", but with this I make a I/O TEXT file not a file with the characteristics from a excel file! Can somebody help me please?!?!?
Best regards,
Chris from Portugal

The extension file must be 'CSV' and not 'CVS'. It's better to separate your items by a ';'
The HOST command you have to execute after creating the file it's HOST(EXEL_PATH SPACE YOUR_FILE) OR Open the DOS PROMPT and type: Exel your_file_name.

SQL Error : missing expression - Creating XML file with ODI

Hi,
I saw threads about errors like this and read that maybe it can come from how I chose the staging area. I still can't see where the problem is. I'm trying to create an xml file from data stored in a Oracle database. The interface which execution fails select data from tables and create a tag in the XML file. Here are information about it :
The staging area is diferent from the target and is an oracle database schema. (I guess it creates temporary tables in that schema ?)
In the flow tab, the LKM is LKM SQL to SQL, the option delete temporary objects is set to yes.
The IKM choice for the target is IKM SQL Control Append and options are as following :
- insert : yes
- commit : yes
- flow contreol : no
- recycle errors : no
- static control : no
- truncate : no
- delete all : no
- create target table : yes
- delete temporary objects : yes
Columns mapping in the target are the following :
WKID        >     THEADER.WKID
EXTID        >     THEADER.EXTID
ORDER     >     THEADER.ORDER
INSTFK     >     THEADER.INSTFK
For every column in the target :
- Run on source
- Updating : insert, update and ud4 are checked
no update key is defined
In the operator, the step failing when running the interface is the loading data in the work table.
If you need the SQL request in the execution plan, or anything else, please tell me.
Thank you in advance for any help on this.
Marie

It would help if you provide error message and its stack trace.

What's the best way to create XML file with a schema from a database table?

Hi,
I want to create an XML file from a database table (which has over 600 columns) using XML schema (.xsd file). I want to know the best way to do this.
The output XML file is NOT a direct data dump from the DB table, there�re some logic around it, such as the XML file has some hierarchy with repeating tags.
I have done this using JAXB by creating Java classes form XML schema, but I don�t want to map 600 DB columns to these Java classes manually, and loop through the record set to create repeating tags.
I know there are few tools around now like MapForce (Altova), how do people do these now?
Thanks,

Create XML file with oracle DDL information

Hi,
I am working on a architecture where I was asked to see find the solution for the following issue:
we are building a ODS which gets a feed from an ORACLE source. But ODS will not have any access to that table and the data will be pushed by source system. The requirement is whenever the source system change the table structure (add a column,drop a column, change data type) that should be reflected in ODS stage table by droping and recreating a table with the structure that comes everyday from the source. My question is without getting the DDL file from the source, can we get the structure in XML file along with data? so that I can use the XML file to create the stage table everyday in ODS. I dont' want to use xmltype or clob/varchar2. The oracle table should be rows and column.
I know XML SQL will be able to insert the xml to oracle table and oracle table can be extracted to XML type.
Thanks,
Partha.

Hi,
If you need to create a new command, you can use SAP Developer Studio. After deploy you will see it in
System administration->system configuration->cm->user interface->Commands.
There are examples about how to create commands.
You need to create your own layout set. This one use a resource renderer, here you must setup the commands group that you created.
After that, you create a navigation iview and layout set field you setup your layout set.

I did search in forums some where I came to know that we can use XSL:IF to achieve this. but I could not able to do this.
I tried with using nested internal tables also but now luck.
can anybody please suggest how can we create xml for header and item detials.

How to Create XML file with SAX parser instead of DOM parser

HI ALL,
I am in need of creating an XML file by SAX parser ONLY. As far as my knowledge goes, we can use DOM for such purpose(by using createElement, creatAttribute ...). Can anyone tell me, is there any way to create an XML file using SAX Parser only. I mean, I just want to know whether SAX provides any sort of api for Creatign an element, attribute etc. I know that SAX is for event based parsing. But my requirement is to create an XML file from using only SAX parser.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanx in advance
Kaushik

Hi,
You must write a XMLWriter class yourself, and that Class extends DefaultHandle ....., the overwrite the startElement(url, localName, qName, attributeList), startDocument(), endElement().....and so on.
in startElement write your own logic about how to create a new element and how to create a Attribute list
in startDocument write your own logic about how to build a document and encodeType, dtd....
By using:
XMLWriter out = new XMLWriter()
out.startDocument();
Attribute attr1 = new Atribute();
attr1.add("name", "value");
out.startElement("","","Element1", attr1);
Attribute attr2 = new Atribute();
attr2.add("name", "value");
out.startElement("","","Element2", attr2);
out.endElement("","","Element2");
out.endElement("","","Element1");
out.endDocument();

Detection of encoding of XML file with the StAX parser

Hello!
I am using the StAX parser to read an XML file which can have different encodings.
I don't know how to detect the encoding before reading the file.
This is the way I instantiate the reader now:
XMLStreamReader xmlr = xmlif.createXMLStreamReader(new InputStreamReader (new FileInputStream(inputfile), "utf-8"));
Is there any way to make the reader detect the encoding with StAX? Is it possible detect the encoding with SAX or DOM?
Just paste some piece of code and you will help me a lot!
Thanks,
Lara

XML parsers are supposed to auto-detect the encoding of their inputs. The SAX and DOM parsers built into Java, as well as others like Xerces, do that. I don't know whether your StAX parser does, but it should. There is a standard procedure for determining the encoding that is described in the XML spec.
However if you have malformed XML that fails to declare its encoding properly, then none of those parsers will be able to fix that problem for you.
Here's the simplified rule as it applies to most files: if the XML file doesn't have a prolog, or if it's prolog doesn't specify an encoding, the parser will assume the file's encoding is UTF-8. If the XML file does have a prolog that specifies an encoding, the parser will assume that encoding.
Unfortunately it is common for people to write XML files that don't declare an encoding, but to forget to encode the file in UTF-8. Then you have a file that is actually encoded in (e.g.) Windows-1252, but the parser believes it is UTF-8, and this fails when there are non-ASCII characters in the document.

Parsing XML file with the word "Infinity" in it

I am having a problem within Flex that parses an XML file,
one of the text names within the file contains the word "Infinity".
Unfortunately this is a constant within Flex and the element of my
array does not think it is a text string but a value. I have tried
type setting the xml element, and putting escape characters around
the text but nothing works. If I change the text to lowercase
"infinity" it works fine.
Any help greatly appreciated.

This sounds like a bug. Can you file it, with a small code
example that illustrates it, here:

Thanks!

How to generate a html file from a xml file with the default Firefox look and feel

Hello
Any xml or xsd file are pretty printed with Mozilla firefox. I would like to generate the equivalent html file, in order to introduce it later in a Word document. Do you use a xslt file ? How can I do this ?
Best regards

I would be remiss if I did not point out that the forum software detected your Firefox as version 17. Is that correct?
Version 17 is not secure; Mozilla discloses [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html security flaws] after each new release. Is something holding you back from upgrading to Firefox 31? Please let us know so we can suggest solutions or workarounds.
If Help > About Firefox shows Firefox 31, you may need to clear the preference that is misreporting your version number. See: [[Websites say that Firefox is outdated or incompatible even though it's the latest version]].
