DMEE: XML Encoding UTF-8/UTF-16

Hi,
I'm generating automatic payment files via program run SAPFPAYM_SCHEDULE.
The file is generated under UTF-8 but when generated on SAP server become UTF-16.
=> When double clicking on the Z_XML20022 and clicking on glasses you can see "<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="utf-8"?>"
=> When you have a look under AL11
/interfaces_sec/DECCLNT300/FI_payment_SAP032/out/PSAPCIT.PAYMENT_CN10_1. it's <?xml version="1.0"
encoding="utf-16"?>
I need to have utf-8.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
If you using XSLT, you may use this transformation (based on your XML example, but simplified):
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
      xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl"
      xmlns:am="http://www.xxx.com/ActionMessage"
      version="1.0">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:output encoding="utf-8"/>
     "your rest XML data"
</xsl:transform>
PS: I advise you to read the Note 1017101 - Encoding Problems with ABAP XML Processing, which explains better what I said above.

XML encoding "UTF-8" ignored

HI all,
we try to post an XML message (cXML invoice) to a receiver but it doesn´t work.
We use a communication channel "http-destination" where we configure content-type "text/xml" together with XML encoding "UTF-8".
The configured URL works fine and can be tested in SM59.
The XML payload itself has a declaration <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
but the strange thing that happens is that all these declarations are being ignored and instead US-ASCII is used. Which leads to an error due to some special german characters within the contents of the XML (e.g. ä, ö, etc.).
Does anybody of you know how I can achieve that the pre-set UTF-8 will be used as encoding type???
Many thanky in advance!

Hi.
I am trying to map the standard cXML invoice to SAP's standard idoc INVOIC01 - This is how the file looks like
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE cXML SYSTEM "http://xml.cXML.org/schemas/cXML/1.2.014/InvoiceDetail.dtd">

I am having problem with the line <!DOCTYPE cXML SYSTEM "http://xml.cXML.org/schemas/cXML/1.2.014/InvoiceDetail.dtd"> - when the payload is having this line XI is not accepting the message.
Please let me know how to address this.
Thanks.

XML encoding UTF-8 and accents

hello everybody !
a little problem with my xml file,
===========
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<videoData>
<video1
       thumbtitle = "Soirs de fêtes - défilé de mode"
       buffTime = "2"
       header = "my description"
       >flv/video1.flv</video1>
</videoData>
===========
my problem : no accent appears in my flash, and the result is : Soirs de ftes - dfil de mode
I read a lot of articles on different forums regarding the good encoding, it seems that <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> is the good one
so I don't understand what is wrong.
I also use .txt file in other part of my website in flash, and I also have the same problem
I suppose it is in the actionscript I must write something :
===========
myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.onLoad = function() {
myText.htmlText = myLoadVars.myHTMLdata;
myLoadVars.load("page1Text.txt");
============
Can somebody help me ?
thanks in advance for your help

XML encoding to UTF-8 charset - Oracle 9i

HTTP Receiver Adapter - delete ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?

Hi,
Is it possible to delete the part below when sending an HTTP request through HTTP receiver adapter without any java/abap/xslt mapping?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_SELL xmlns:ns0="http://test.com/Sell">
Thanks
Arman

Hi,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Specifies that the given message is xml
<ns0:MT_SELL xmlns:ns0="http://test.com/Sell">
Specifies its a MessageType of the payload, without this that message is not identifies and is not processed. Its manditory to have these. Other wise error will raise.

How to insert ?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"? before an element

Hi, I have a message which must contain XML inside XML, this internal one must start off with the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> string.
Is there a nice trick for inserting this before an element? (not at the beginning of the mapping, a specific place further inside the XML).
All of the other elements are mapped as part of the message type.

Did you check Message Mapping : Play around with target structure .
You can do this easily with UDF.
public String setPrevalue(String var1,Container container) {
     StructureNode node = ((StructureNode) container.getParameter("STRUCTURE_NODE"));
     node.setPreValue("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>");
     return"";

Hello,
i want to remove <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> at target side. is it possible .
You can use XSLT and add

in your output declaration
Hope this helps,

Adding " ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"? " in generated xmls

Hi,
I am using xmlbeans framework to generate xmls , i am able to generate xml using document object but header "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>" is not coming in that xml file , how to include this in output xml files.

Hi,
I don't know the XMLBeans Framework, but this header is called XML declaration.
In general there are options to configure this (i. e. setOption("omit-xml-declaration", false);).
Anyway, I don't know the exact syntax in this framework but have a look at this, maybe it helps somehow.

Printing ?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"? at the top of my xml

Can anyone spot where I'm going wrong?
I'm creating a DOMDocument like this:
Document document = null;
DocumentBuilder doc_builder = null;
try
doc_builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
catch(ParserConfigurationException e){/* deal with exception*/}
document = doc_builder.newDocument();Adding various stuff to it, then saving it like this
Source source = new DOMSource(document);
Result result = new StreamResult(idx);
Transformer xformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
xformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD, "xml");
xformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "yes"); //??????
xformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "ISO-8859-1");
xformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
xformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "4");
xformer.transform(source, result);All the usual stuff.
But how do I get it to write:
<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>
at the top of the page?
One further thing...
If I have nothing to write in my xml file, it just spits out a blank file.
Instead, I want it to write:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<upIdx/>
a simple:
document.createElement("upIdx");doesn't appear to do anything if the block "upIdx" is subsequently empty.
Many thanks

duugggh....
(well it is friday evening.. ... long week.. all that kind of stuff)
how stupid of me....
to answer my own question, it was here:
xformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "no"); //??????
xformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.VERSION, "1.0");
xformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");

Remove ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"? from XML doc

I have generated an XML file using javax XML transformer. In the XML file thats generated I have the version and the encoding line
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
which is automatically generated in my XML file. Is there any way that I can avoid that from the XML file thats generated.
Here is the transformer that I have used.
public static void printToXML(String fileName){
           try{
                File file = new File(fileName);
                Transformer tr = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
                tr.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
                tr.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD,"xml");
                tr.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "3");
                tr.transform( new DOMSource(dom),new StreamResult(new FileWriter(file)));
           }catch(TransformerConfigurationException tcex){
                logger.info("TransformerConfigurationException at printToXML method in CSVtoXML.java");
                logger.error("TransformerConfigurationException", tcex);
           }catch(TransformerException tex){
                logger.info("TransformerException at printToXML method in CSVtoXML.java");
                logger.error("TransformerException", tex);
           }catch(IOException ioex){
                logger.info("IOException at printToXML method in CSVtoXML.java");
                logger.error("IOException", ioex);
      }

Well, it is a pretty important line. Why do you need it removed? Anything that really processes XML knows how to read it and determine what encoding was used. That is vital, if you look at the number of questions posted here about foreign language text in XML. If you really have a text processsor that knows how to open a file called something.xml, and knows how to process or ignore most of the pointy bracket things, but not this one, it is time to fix it.

hi vijayakumar,
thanx for ur response....

?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"? generates error=unsupported encoding

Why does the header with encoding set to UTF-8 get rejected by the Oracle XML C++ V2 Parser when one of the features of this version is UTF-8 support?

Hi
If I change my document header from <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> to <?xml version="1.0"?> then it parses without error. Will this situation change if I intall ORACLE_HOME? If so, why do I need to install ORACLE_HOME to get the XML Parser to work?
Thanks.

Hi,
Do you have your ORACLE_HOME set up correctly?
