Delimited file to xml

Delimited file to xml
Does anyone have a quick way to convert a delimited file stored as a CLOB into a another CLOB as an XML datagram?
Thanks

The simplist way is that you to write a program to do the conversion using the SAX/DOM API.
Or you probably can write the delimitated file, create a temporary table, modify the file and using SQL*Loader to load to the table, and then use XSU to generate the XML document.
You may also write the file out and use the external table...

How to convert Mail attachment file Tab Delimited file to XML.

Hi PI Experts
    I have XI scenario: MAIL XI SAP (ABAP Proxy), the process is
1.     XI will receive tab delimited file as attachment in mail.
2.     XI will convert the tab delimited file into XML, then map to the target structure.
3.     Target will be posted into ECC through ABAP Proxy.
Can anyone help me how can I convert the attachment file (i.e. Tab delimited file) to XML while configuring the sender side.
Thanks in Advance

I just grabed what I answered from another thread. It should work.
Processing sequence as follows:
1. localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean Local Enterprise Bean swap1
2. localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean Local Enterprise Bean tran1
3. sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean Local Enterprise Bean mail
Module Configuration as follows: Fill the XXXX part with your info.
swap1 swap.keyName payload-name
swap1 swap.keyValue MailAttachment-1
tran1 Transform.Class com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.Conversion
tran1 Transform.ContentType ext/xml;charset=utf-8
tran1 xml.conversionType SimplePlain2XML
tran1 xml.documentName XXXXXXX_Mail
tran1 xml.documentNamespace http://XXXXX.com.au/XXXX
tran1 xml.fieldSeparator \t
tran1 xml.processFieldNames fromConfiguration
tran1 xml.structureTitle rows
Once you set up the above configuration, you will get one record at a time.
Create a souce message interface like the followings:
XXXXXXXXX_Mail
rows
record
Target message interface:
XXXXXXXXX
rows
field 1
field 2
field 3
Write a UDF function to remove the TAB space
public removeTABSpace(String record,Container container){
//write your code here
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(record,"\t",false);
String t="";
while (st.hasMoreElements()) t += st.nextElement();
return t;
Write another UDF to get the field 1 for example:
public String getField1(String input,Container container){
int counter=0;
int beginIndex=0;
int endIndex=0;
int i;
for (i=0;i<input.length();i++){
if (input.charAt(i)==34){
counter=counter+1;
if (counter==1){
beginIndex=i+1;
counter=0;
break;
for (i=0;i<input.length();i++){
if (input.charAt(i)==34){
counter=counter+1;
if (counter==2){
endIndex=i;
counter=0;
break;
input=input.substring(beginIndex,endIndex);
return input;
Get the mapping like the followings:
record - removeTABSpace - getField1 - field 1
If you need to get field 2, you will need to write another UDF similar to the above one to handle it.

you cannot create it to what is as shown below due to some limitations of the file adapter. read my post in this thread to know y - file adapter
But you can use tools like the conversion agent etc to acheive the same or read the XML in flat and then use XSLT or java to create the req. structure.

Converting an XML file to a DAT pipe delimited file

Hi
I'm trying to create an SSIS Package which converts an XML file into a dat file which is pipe delimited.
I want the package to be generic so that once that minimal modification is needed when using for different files.
I've so far had no luck with this and need some help/assistance.
All help fully appreciated.
Thank you
Umar Javed

The XML file can vary from fixed to variable.
for Fixed, i've done the same thing as you've suggested and parametrized the flat file connection manager.
For The XML source is there any way we can parametrize the location of the XML or XSD files?
For Variable, unfortunately due to restrictions we can not create an intermediate table and then export.
is there any other way?
Thanks
Umar Javed
XSD path can be made dynamic as below
http://picnicerror.net/development/sql-server/define-xsd-file-for-ssis-xml-source-using-expression-2012-04-21/
For variable you can even add them to configurations and then pass them from a file using xml configuration option.

How to create an Excel file from XML in the Receiver File Adapter Comm Ch

How do I create an Excel file from XML in the Receiver File Adapter Communication Channel? I have my mapping done and I am outputting the file as a comma delimited csv file. However, the target can only process an Excel file (.xls). How can I generate an Excel in XI?
I saw this blog, but I don't know how to create a XSLT transformation.
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/10/xi-generating-excel-files-without-the-java-nor-the-conversion-agent-not-possible
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Here are the steps I took to create an XSLT transformation in XI 3.0:
1. I created my source and target XSDs using XMLSpy.
2. I created the XSLT mapping from source to target in XMLSpy (referencing the souce XSD schema).
3. I created another XSLT mapping to format the target into Excel XML.
4. Import the source and target XSDs in the IR's External Definitions
5. Zip each XSLT mapping (.xls) and import it into the IR's Imported Archives
6. Reference the XSL mappings in the Interface Mapping

File Adapter Delimited File

Hi All,
I am writing a delimited file using the file adapter, i have built the XSD using the native format builder. Inside the BPEL, i get the data using a query, this query returns the data with delimited information between fields, but the output XSD came in such a way that there is only one element which holds the entire record. At runtime i get the information from database lookup and assign that records to invoke input variable of file adapter.
XSD of target file adapter...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:nxsd="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/nxsd"
xmlns:tns="http://TargetNamespace.com/ReadFile"
targetNamespace="http://TargetNamespace.com/ReadFile"
elementFormDefault="qualified"
attributeFormDefault="unqualified"
nxsd:version="NXSD"
nxsd:stream="chars"
nxsd:encoding="UTF-8"
>
<xsd:element name="Root-Element">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="Child-Element" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded" nxsd:style="array" nxsd:cellSeparatedBy="${eol}">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="C1" type="xsd:string" nxsd:style="fixedLength" nxsd:length="100" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
So, the thing is file is getting written to, but the records are getting right aligned, as you can see the length is 100, so the file i am writing is coming like
records starting with the spaces, but the data which i am getting doesn't return any spaces at the starting of the record, it has spaces in the middle and the end of the record. I want the records to be left aligned. Is there any property which i can set for the element in the XSD for the data that gets assigned to make it left aligned.
Please help Experts.
Thanks,
Naresh

You can see the option of adding padStyle as head.. More detail check the below link and search on padding option which helps u in alignment.

Using delimited file with xsd

hi:
Please help...
I'm trying to use ALDSP with delimited file as data source. However, I need to specify an element with attributes in the xsd. And I got the following error:
"The validation root element of a Delimited File schema should have a non-mixed complex type whose content model consists of a singleton sequence of simple-typed singleton or optional elements."
Does this mean that I can't have attributes in the xml produced by ALDSP when using delimited file as data source? If it's possible to do this:
delimited data:
year,cust,sale,return
2001,23,5000,200
2002,24,2400,100
produced xml:
<root>
<data year="2001" cust="23" sale="5000" return="200"/>
<data year="2002" cust="24" sale="2400" return="100"/>
</root>
thanks!!

thanks for the help!! I do have another problem using delimited data. Somehow the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> line is repeated for every record when I do the testing:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ld:myrow xmlns:ld="ld:delimited">
<year>2001</year>
<cust>23</cust>
<sale>5000</sale>
<return>200</return>
</ld:myrow>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ld:myrow xmlns:ld="ld:delimited">
<year>2002</year>
<cust>24</cust>
<sale>2400</sale>
<return>100</return>
</ld:myrow>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ld:myrow xmlns:ld="ld:delimited">
<year>2003</year>
<cust>25</cust>
<sale>15000</sale>
<return>0</return>
</ld:myrow>
Is there a way to remove the repeated <?xml> tag?
thanks!!

Delimited File

Hi,
I'm trying to generate a tab delimited file thru my report server. I have specified the Desname and the Desformat(&desformat= DELIMTED) with &destype=FILE . Although the report says "Report output generated to requested destination", I'm not able to locate the file anywhere on my machine ! Has anyone encountered this problem before ?? Is there any way I can generate a delimited file as well as show the report on the browser ?? I'm running reports 6i

There is no magic pixie dust you can sprinkle over a set of data and turn it into a new format. However, all things are possible. Which approach you need to take depends on a number of things:{list]
[*]What version of the database are you using?
[*]Do you want to validate the XML against a schema or a DTD?
[*]Is the data hierarchical or flat?
[list]

Create a new web application, how shall I update the file server.xml

To use servlets u have indeed to update your web.xml...Well I'm not sure this is relevant to your case anyway.
You have to add a <servlet> element to this file.
Something like this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>blabla</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>blablapackage.Blablaclass</servlet-class>
<init-param>...</init-param>
</servlet>
Now this may not solve your problem. Make sure you refer to your servlets using their full qualified names.btw, just to be sure, what is your definition of "servlet"? (i mean: any java class or only javax.servlet.Servlet)

Publishing swf file with xml feed

I am working in actionscript 3 trying to create a flash banner ad that will be put on multiple sites. The ad will grab a rss feed and display a number from that feed insie the banner ad. The Flash file works fine on my local computer when I test it. The feed is showing up just fine in the ad. When I publish the ad for the web and test it out on my server, the feed does not display in the ad. I have checked to make sure network access is selected in the publish settings. I also have a crossdomain.xml policy file on the server with the feed. My server is listed in the policy to allow access. I keep thinking I am overlooking something, but can't figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the code for the action script:
var rssLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var rssURL:URLRequest =
         new URLRequest("http://www.rssfeed.com/rssfeed");
rssLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, rssLoaded);
rssLoader.load(rssURL);
var rssXML:XML = new XML();
rssXML.ignoreWhitespace = true;
function rssLoaded(e:Event):void{
    var rssXML:XML=new XML(e.target.data);
trace (rssXML);
    if (rssXML.channel.item[0].description >= 61)
        {rssXML.channel.item[0].description="60+"}
        testXML.text=rssXML.channel.item[0].description;
Here is the crossdomain.xml policy file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
        <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">

Upload tab-delimited file from the application server to an internal table

Hello SAPients.
I'm using OPEN DATASET..., READ DATASET..., CLOSE DATASET to upload a file from the application server (SunOS). I'm working with SAP 4.6C. I'm trying to upload a tab-delimited file to an internal table but when I try load it the fields are not correctly separated, in fact, they are all misplaced and the table shows '#' where supposedly there was a tab.
I tried to SPLIT the line using as separator a variable with reference to CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB but for some reason that class doesn't exist in my system.
Do you know what I'm doing wrong? or Do you know a better method to upload a tab-delimited file into an internal table?
Thank you in advance for your help.

And this is split by tab delimited and moved to other variables as shown above.
Please guide me how to read the contents without "#' from the file.
I have tried all possible ways and unable to get solution.
Thanks,
Shrikanth

Hi ,
In ECC 6 if all the unicode patches are applied then UTF 16 will defintly work..
More over i would suggest you to ist replace # with some other * or , and then try to see in debugging if any further # appears..
and no # appears then try to split now.
if even now the # appears after replace statement then try to find out what exactly is it... wheather it is a horizantal tab etc....
and then again try to replace it and then split..
Please follow the process untill all the # are replaced...
This should work for you..
Let me know if you further face any issue...

Reading String (Name-Value) from text file into XML

Hi,
I have a requirement for reading a text file and converting each entry of that text file into XML format. I have not came across such thing yet so looking for some ideas. I am using SQL Server 2005 and here is a sample entry from my source text file,
Jun 4 14:31:00 zzzz64x02 fff:
INPUT(ty=XYZ,Prefix=15063,dn=78787878787878,sgk=100.139.201.48,xxn=87878,ani=656565656565,ogrp=F7ZX05,ogtxt=NNNNN,ogx=NNNNN,oci=0xe00ac,ogi={NOA=INT,BC=1,SIG-TYPE=ZIP});
PROCESS(ty=0x100000,cu=32880,Name=XOXOXOX,pc=88017,pd=24,dd=880175,pk=880175,rd=115472,ca=BGD,reg=RW,cdp=1,ai=245359,grp=2648,sl=9);
OUTPUT(ty=XXXX,ret=0,rl=
{i=1,su=99999,rizID=61084,skid=06,truckgp=1084,dd=8801,dn=78787878787878}
I will get multiple entries like this in my source text file which I have to convert into XML (using TSQL).
Any help will be useful.
Regards.
'In Persuit of Happiness' and ..... learning SQL.

And I'm telling you that this is a bad option. You would use the vaccum cleaner to wash the dishes, would you?
If you for some reason would do this task in SQL Server, you would implement it as a CLR stored procedure, but from what you have said I don't understand why you would do this server-side at all.
What's wrong with the current C# solution?
Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, [email protected]
Got it. I was just looking for the available options, nothing wrong with my C# solution. And yes, I don't use vacuum cleaner to wash dishes.

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.
Håkan

Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

To import addresses, need format of tab delimited file

I am trying to import addresses from my G3 PB Mozilla App. I exported addresses on G3 to both ldif and tab-delimited files and then attached to an email message which I sent to myself. I received email on Mac mini, but the 2 files showed up inline, not as attachments. I copied the ldif portion to a text file; ditto for tab-delimited. I tried importing into Address Book, but got message that format was not valid.
Can't I just edit the tab-delimited file in TextEdit, save as RTF, and get Address Book to recognize the data?
Thanks,
Owen

Hi, Did you get solution for this? Please let me know as I'm looking for the same solution. The Bank requirement is to generate a Tab delimited file but the RFFOGB_T with Format GB_BACS issues the output as below...
