Deleting XML element in ABAP mapping

hi All
I Have I huge xml filen that has to go to an Idoc , but I only want to use the header data.
is there a way of deleting the unwanted xml elements and their children elements in ABAP mapping.
Thanks.

Hi Ravi and all
Actually I did as you said, but I get this error.
<Trace level="1" type="T">com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException: Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException:
XMLParser: Prefix 'ns1' is not mapped to a namespace(:main:, row:177, col:25)
This position 177 , is the element that is not needed , so I thought if I can delete it , I can get rid of this error and move forward.
May be you have antoher suggestion to get rid of this error.
Thank you.

File to IDoc : XML parsing in ABAP mapping

Hi,
In ABAP mapping I want to parse all of the incoming XML strings to internal table.Later I add few more fields to this table and transfer them to IDOC adapter in IDOC-XML format.In thsi case how do i get all of the input file data(converted from XML) into internal table using XML parsing in ABAP Mapping?
Thansk in advance,
RP

Hi Amil,
I insert into table but not immediately,I want all the parsed xml data into internal table and do something before I insert into DB /send it to IDOC.
I knwo how to get single Xml parsing,but how to get multple records(looping xml parse) to internal table?
Thanks,

Checking Well-Formed XML files with ABAP Mapping

Hi guys,
Anybody knows which is the best way to check (well-formed) incoming XML files trough XI?
Im using ABAP Mapping and before I check the value of the XML fields I want to check if the XML is well-formed. For this reason I need to know which is the class or classes that I need to use to checking the format of XML using an XSD file?
That is also possible using a DTD file instead of XSD?
Which is better XSD or DTD?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

Delete xml element not used in document

Hi,
If you have a number of texts tagged with an xml element and then delete the text, the element still exist in the structure.
You can see the element still connected to a text, by the blue diamond on the element symbol.
But i want do delete the elements that have no connection to texts, but cant find the right property to look for.
In Java script CS4.
Anyone knows?
/Mikael

If the (text) element is unplaced, its parentStory will be an XmlStory rather than a Story.
So try:
var elements = app.activeDocument.xmlElements[0].xmlElements.everyItem().getElements();
for (var i = elements.length - 1;i >= 0;i--){
if(elements[i].parentStory.constructor.name === "XmlStory"){
elements[i].remove();
This is untested. If you have tagged graphics frames it will need to be modified to not error on those.

Getting XML info with ABAP mapping

Hi everyone.
I'm near to finish my abap mapping demo. The problem is that i don't know how i can retrieve the values of a kind of node.
I would like to retrieve this data into a internal table. I've done the output XML.
How can i get that values from SOURCE parameter into an internal table?
Regards.

Hi!
First of all you have a little bit of XML parsing to do using the SIXML package in ABAP (see example reports in same dev class).
Then you can travers your "document" with methods like
get_elements_by_tag_name or get_root_element.
There are also 2 function modules to convert a document into an ABAP internal table.
SDIXML_DATA_TO_DOM and SDIXML_DOM_TO_DATA.

How to write a log using abap mapping

Hi all.
in PI 7.1 environment I need to use abap mapping and I wish to write some XML data into a table that I created for logging the data.
I know that using the abap mapping I can parse an XML file. My question is how to write this table defining a specific method, if it is necessary.
Any help or suggestion is well appreciated.
Many thanks in advance for your kind cooperation.
Regards,
Giovanni

hi,
>> My question is how to write this table defining a specific method, if it is necessary.
just like to normal table (insert statement)
parse XML and get the data you need and just insert into the DB table
there are many tutorials showing how to parse xml file inside abap mapping
so just do a little search on sdn

elements in this case, this is my xml code. how to delete? any one
can help me?

Then you should provide more details on what you want this new script should do.
To "delete XML tags in already tagged text", all you need is use the "untag" command on an XML Element. But how would the script "know" what XML Element should be untagged?

Processing xml in abap mapping

Hi all,
I use abap mapping to create XML from Idoc, I use if_ixml interface to do it.
In my code I use method get_elements_by_tag_name (on object if_ixml_document)
to find all elements with the same name:
I checked my mapping in SXI_MAPPING_TEST and it is working when I put formatted idoc
(with many lines, one tag in one line).
But when I put one long line with all tags in one line (XI receives idoc in such format from ECC)
method get_elements_by_tag_name does not return any result.
I checked also others searching methods but without results.
It looks like only first 255 characters are processed. When element, which I am looking for,
is in further position, it is not finding.
Does anyone know what is a root cause of such situation and how can I resolve my problem?
Best Regards,
Przemek

Hi,
get_elements_by_tag_name work fine for all my abap mappings so you must be doing wrong something else
the code from this page works for IDOCs also:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ba/e18b1a0fc14f1faf884ae50cece51b/content.htm
with small changes to the nodes so maybe compare it with yours

ABAP mapping XML inside another XML

Cross posted to ABAP Objects
From XI we want to make an abap mapping.
The input xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:mt_dummy xmlns:ns0="http://kmd.dk/phh/externalEventEngine/pfhaen">
<details>
<Navn>Nielsen</Navn>
<Adresse><![CDATA[><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><ns0:mt_dummy2 xmlns:ns0="http://kmd.dk/phh/externalEventEngine/pfhaen"><Details2><Vej>tingvej</Vej><Husnr>75</Husnr></Details2></ns0:mt_dummy2>]]></Adresse>
</details>
</ns0:mt_dummy>
One of the fields in this structure <Adresse> contains another xml structure. It is this structure we want as a result of our ABAP mapping. First we get the value of the field <Adresse>. This field contains the actual xml structure that we want to map. We convert the structure to xstring and run it through a new parser and create our output document.(See code below).
The code works fine if we just use a normal xml structure, but when one of the fields contains a XML structure and we want to parse this structure, we get the error. Is there anything we have missed, or is this not possible in ABAP mapping ?
If we test the code with SXI_MAPPING_TEST we get no errors, but in runtime we get the following error in SXMB_MONI:
The XML page document can not be shown
The XML document must have an element at the top level

Hey,
It seems like the output is not a valid XML,
(I guess that the input XML is different from your test).
XML must have one element at the top level,
for example:
<A>
Ilan
</A>

Shani

is not a valid XML,
A valid XML should look like:
<mt_dummy>
<A>
Ilan
</A>

Shani

</mt_dummy>
In order to see the in-valid XML, press on the right-click mouse on the i.e error text,
and chose "view source".

Can anybody help on this.

Hi Sarvesh,
The pdf has details of ABAP mapping. The example given almost matches the xml file you want to be converted.

XML to ABAP - where the ABAP mapping?

Dear experts,
I have to do an ABAP mapping which I have never done before.
I found blog:
/people/r.eijpe/blog/2005/11/21/xml-dom-processing-in-abap-part-ii--convert-an-xml-file-into-an-abap-table-using-sap-dom-approach
which shows the ABAP code.
I use PI 7.1
Questions:
- But where in XI/PI do I implement this code?
- How can I test the code while I write it?
- Can I pick up the XML file to map from an FTP server?
Thank you very much for your help!
Best regards,
Peter

Hi,
I dont think you really need to develop ABAP Mapping , you can achive this requirement using standard Graphical Mapping.
But let me know which IDoc/rfc or table you want to update information.
if it is bapi use RFC IDoc go with IDoc adapter.
elase try with proxies.
normally it is not a best practive to implement ABAP Mapping,sometimes you experience perfromace issues.

Raj
