DATA exchange using XML using ABAP

Client is having requirement of sharing data with Third party using XML files and this needs to be done using ABAP and changes in XML structure are highly likely in the future and structure is very complex around 100 fields corresponding to an account , three ways are there as far i am aware of :-IXML library,Simple transformation and XSLT ,
confusion is which way to follow as Performance constraints are also there and Simple transformation had failed in the past with large amount of data,
I would like to know what is Industry wide accepted way of doing this in SAP ( XI is out of scope here ) using ABAP and which one will be the best regarding quality of design and performance

Hi,
what about the Client Data Bag? http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/68/322a9261c54e51b7965f86aac3dae2/content.htm
Stores data on the client (browser) side and as long as the user is using CTRL+L to open the new window, the information is preserved.

Weird problem with loading data from an XML using a for loop

Hi,
I have a strange problem. I have encountered this thing many a times but still don't know the proper workaround for it.
I am trying to load swf file, a video file or an image. They can be present on a local system or on a remote server also. All the entries corresponding to the files to be loaded is made in an XML file. I traverse through the nodes of the XML using a for loop. On the complete event of loader info, example:.
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
I fill a container with the loaded data.
My problem is when I am using for loop it doesn't works properly but if i use a statement like this:
someFunc()
 if(i<arr.length())
 ... do something...
 loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
private function onComplete(e:Event):void
... do something...
i++;
All files are loaded properly.
I think this can be because the for loop processes pretty fast but the content takes time to load, which ultimately leads to some wierd results.
Please let me know how can this thing be done correctly by using a for loop also.

You don't want to use a for loop to load several items. The way you almost appear to have it is the proper approach... load a file and use the completion of its loading to trigger loading the next file.

Can I use XML using XSD

Hi,
I know we can use XML as data server with DTD. Is it also possible to use XSD instead of DTD. If yes would the driver be same.
Thanks

Got SAS error when used as "jdbc:snps:xml?f=C:\myxml.xml"
(Try to insert null into a non-nullable column: column: NAME table: STAGI_ELEMENT in statement [insert into STAGI_ELEMENT (ELEMENTORDER, ELEMENTPK, NAME, REF, SCHEMAFK, SEQUENCEFK) values (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)]
all these table name and columns comes by itselt , non are reffereing to my data. thn i tried some jugglery in changing the XSD. then it worked , but when i reserved though model window it showed me as
SCHEMA     Table

these are part of XSD elements definations.
what i understand that use f=xml file and d=dtd file name or d=xsd file name.

Complex string pattern match/sort question for mapping data - Exchange Enable mailbox use case

Hi, Im trying to do a runbook to Enable mailbox for a user. Our Exchange Admin uses a rule/formula to allocate the mailbox database based on users first name and this is what I am having difficulty replicating in Orchestrator to add the correct
data in the Database property of Enable Mailbox activity.
The Rule exchange uses, takes up to the first 3 chars of forename and based on an alphabetic sort, it will allocate to a particular mailbox db (we have a quite large Exchange Org with 20k users so hes tried to allocate about 500 users per mailboxDB). so
for example User Forename A-ALI = DB1, ALL-ANG = DB2, ANH-ANY=DB3,AO-BER=DB4 etc etc.
So I was hoping someone could advise of some string comparison activities native in Orchestrator or maybe done as last resort in powershell (as I'm not great in powershell) to provide a map of the published data for forname to appropriate mailbox matrix.
Any help on this would be much appreciated...
Cheers

You could use the built in Mid function [Mid(‘Return subset from this string’,1,3)] to get the first three letters of their name and honestly I would send
this to the Run .Net Script activity using powershell myself and do a select case to get it to publish to the database the name of the database server.
I am all for using built in activities to do things in Orchestrator but you are going to quickly find that you need to have good powershell scripting skills to extend the tools beyond the capabilities of the built in activities.

SAP 4.7 XML data exchange using XSLT

Hello All,
Hopefully the right place to post such article but here goes any way.
My project involves producing XML files and then reading them back into to SAP internal tables. I am ok with writing SAP data to external XML file but reading it back in is causing a lot of head scratching.
I am able to double click the XML file and it launches Ok in Internet Explorer.
I am also able to debug the xslt file from within SE80 and the correct output is displayed.
However, where I am trying to read the contents of the xml file via the Call Transformation procedure call my output table is not getting populated but instead I am recieving an error message saying the following is not correct:
xmlns:sapxsl="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl
but the above line is placed automaticlly in the XSLT when you create a new one from within SE80.
I am new to SAP ABAP development so not sure what's exactly wrong.
Any help on this issue will be greatfully appreciated. Thanks in Advance,

I am using XSLT to deal with XML and ABAP data.
I using the following statement to convert a Internal Table to XML String:

Can a IDOC be used for data exchange from R/3 to CRM

Hi All,
First, can a IDOC be used for data exchange from R/3 to CRM
I need to update few fields of SAP CRM Sales order with fields from SAP R/3 Work Order.
To achive this can I use IDOC?
Or do I update the R/3 sales order from R/3 Work order(using some interface or workflow), so that the sales order data flows from R/3 SO to CRM SO.
Please respond immediately.
Regards,
Gopinath

IDocs can be processed by the CRM system via XML/XIF adaptor. As this will be most probably a new interface that is not yet set up, it would be easier to change the orders in R/3 via an appropiate FM which should automatically generate a delta download BDoc.
Even if they are not downloaded automatically a request download (defined via R3AR2 / 3 / 4) should take care of this.
Hope this helps,
Kai

XML to ABAP Using XSLT

Hello friends,
    I am trying a ABAP program (posted on SDN) to convert XML into ABAP (internal table) and not having any luck. Either it is my table/structure declaration or XSLT. Could any of you experts give me a hand with it please?
Thanks in advance..but points on help!
Here is my XML:
And my ABAP program:

here we use the CALL TRANSFORMATION method which calls

    EXIT.

setting a breakpoint to watch the workarea
by the internal table "it_airplus"
     break-point.
LOOP AT it_airplus INTO wa_airplus.
ENDLOOP.

Thank you Durairaj, as a matter of fact my program is based on your post (one that you pointed me to). For whatever reason I'm not having luck figuring it out (may be just a bit of work pressure) could you please hlep me a bit more by pointing me to where in my program code/xslt I'm going wrong? I somehow feel that it could be my table structure or xslt.
I would really appreciate it!
Thanks again,

The simplest way seems to me is to use a XSL file for that. The <xsl:output> attributes doctype-system and doctype-public generate the DTD declaration <!DOCTYPE YOUR_ROOT SYSTEM "yourDTDfile.dtd"> and <!DOCTYPE YOUR_ROOT PUBLIC "yourDTDfile.dtd">, respectively.
When calling transformerInstance.transform() the XSLT processor performs the identity transformation - it just copies elements, attributes, content, processing instructions and comments to the result stream.
If you're using an xsl file for your transformation already, simply add <xsl:output doctype-system="yourDTDfile.dtd"/> to your existing XSL file.
If you're only using the identity transformation you'd need to change the line of code where you obtain the transformer instance from the TransformerFactory to:
t_factory.newTransformer(new StreamSource("test.xsl"));
and use this as test.xsl:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 <xsl:output doctype-system="yourDTDfile.dtd"/>
 
 <xsl:template match="*|@*|comment()|processing-instruction()|text()">
 <xsl:copy>
 <xsl:apply-templates select="*|@*|comment()|processing-instruction()|text()"/>
 </xsl:copy>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>Good luck.

BI & Oracle XI data exchanges using WEBServices (into both sides)

Hello,
Would you be so kind and give me suggestions.
We have:
BI 7 server Oracle Exchange Infrastructure Oracle DB server
Our client wants to implement this data exchange solution:
Scenario A: i have load data to BI from Oracle DB
My steps are: from BI i have to call WEBService from Oracle Exchange Infrastructure when Oracle Exchange Infrastructure calls WEBService from Oracle DB and Oracle DB returns data set to BI via Oracle Exchange Infrastructure.
How to schedule job for calling WEBServices from Oracle Exchange Infrastructure? What have i configure in BI?
Scenario B: Application based on Oracle DB wants to get data from BI
Steps are: Oracle DB calls WEBService from Oracle Exchange Infrastructure when Oracle Exchange Infrastructure calls WEBService from BI and BI sends data to Oracle DB via Oracle Exchange Infrastructure.
BI offers Open Hub Service for data distribution from BI, but I didnt find description how to distribute data using WEBServices.
Is is possible to implement Scenario A and Scenario B in BI with standard tools.
Could you give me detailed answers(step-by-step what I have to do)?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Arunas Stonys

Arunas,
Quite an interesting landscape....
Also what do you mean by standard tools ?
Option A :
You can use the XML datasource for the same and once the XML data source is called , the data enters the Delta Queue in the BI server and from there you can use the normal infopackage / real time daemon to load data into your cubes / DSO. The XML datasource works on SOAP and this has to be supported by the Oracle XI.
Option B:
Slightly more trickier since you are hitting the BI server directly....
I am not sure if an infospoke can be a web service but some of the ways this could be done is :
a. Have an Func Module which acts as a web service and have that FM return the data
b. Have SAP XI inbetween to do the same
Also on the landscape- depending on the nature of data loads / data requests - if BI-Oracle is more - you can look at having SAP XI there instead....
Arun
Hope it helps....
P.S I would also suggest that you post the same in the Enterprise SOA forums / enterprise web services and people like Karthik Iyengar , Durairaj etc can respond to the same in a much better way that what I am able to give you right now...

Using a SQL data source and XML data source in the same template

I am trying to develop a template for the Request for Quote report generated in Apps 11.5.10. I have loaded the data from the XML output into the template, but I am missing one field - I need the org_id from the po_headers table. Is it possible to use a sql data source (i.e., "select org_id from po_headers_all where po_header_id = [insert header_id from xml data]...") in addition to the xml data source to populate the template at runtime? When you use the Insert > SQL functionality is it static at the time the template is created, or does it call to the database at runtime? I've looked through all the docs I could find, but this isn't clear.
Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have.
Rhonda

Hi Pablo
Thats a tough one ... if you go custom with a data template you will at least get support on the data template functionality ie you have a problem when you try and build one. You will not get support on the query inside the data template as you might have gotten with the Oracle Report, well you could at least log a bug against development for a bad query.
Eventually that Oracle Report will be converted by development anyway, theres an R12 project going on right now to switch the shipped OReports to data templates. AT this point you'll be fully supported again but:
1. You have to have R12 and
2. You'll need to wait for the patch
On reflection, if you are confident enough in the query then Oracle will support you on its implementation within a data template. Going forward you may be able to swap out your DT and out in the Oracle one without too much effort.

How to create a report using XML data source from Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
Iu2019m having Crystal Report Designer XI R2 SP4. Iu2019m trying to create a report using XML data source stored on disk. This is a customer order report and the xml is structured in such a way that it has an order details header part (master) and then it has several order lines (detail). One order line can have several order line characteristics (detail-detail). So what I need to know is now I can design this layout from the designer. If this was done using views I can do it with sub-reports but using xml data this seems to be different. Can you help me to design this layout? I have included the xml and xsd as well.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Chanaka

Hi Sourashree,
Thank you for the response and ideas you have given me so far. I can get the fetch the data from the data source without any problem. That is I do the following,
1. New Report
2. From Create New Connection-> XML
3. Provide the u201CLocal XML Fileu201D and have u201CSpecify Schema Fileu201D checked -> Next
4. Provide the u201CLocal Schema Fileu201D -> Finish
Then I can see the following under XML
+ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
And from here if I add the following three I can get all the fields I need to the report
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
Then I come to the Linking section. Here I canu2019t link anything. There is a common field called u201CInternal_IDu201D but I canu2019t link using it. So I get a message when I click Next. From here I add all the fields.
For this point onwards only I need help. How do I group, add fields and design the layout so I can get an report output as follows.

Create a Purchase order using the BAPI using the data in the XML file.

Hello Gurus,
here is the scenario can anyone help me how to proceed explaining the procedure?
Create a Purchase order using the BAPI using the data in the XML file.
comprehensive explanations are appreciated.
thanks in advance.

hi,
first use fm "bapi_po_create".
then use fm "BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_POST"
The demo environment was made with real business scenario in mind, but following subjects need to be addressed in a live implementation:
     No exceptions and error handling is implemented, except the order rejection (e.g. partly delivery);
     In Navision both XML Ports and the XML DOM has been used to integrate with SAP XI, because XML ports has some drawbacks regarding to Namespaces in XML Documents (mandatory in SAP XI);
     A minimum of SAP and Navision customization is required to implement this solution. (e.g. user exit in SAP, Navision XML DOM).

Xml to abap internal table by using a dynamic internal table at runtime

Hi ,
I have a requirement to convert xml to abap internal table . But the requirement is that i need to create internal table according to the XML .
Ex : If my XML is :
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <flights>
- <airline code="AA" name="American Airlines">
- <flight number="0017">
<from airport="JFK">NEW YORK,US</from>
<to airport="SFO">SAN FRANCISCO,US</to>
<departure>110000</departure>
<arrival>140100</arrival>
<type>Scheduled</type>
</flight>
- <flight number="0064">
<from airport="SFO">SAN FRANCISCO,US</from>
<to airport="JFK">NEW YORK,US</to>
<departure>090000</departure>
<arrival>172100</arrival>
<type>Scheduled</type>
</flight>
</airline>
So after conversion my abap internal table shoul have fields as :
airline_code Name flight_number from_airport to_airport departure arrival type
and the field values should be corresponding field values .
Thanks in advance .
Regards .
