& exists in XML payload

Hey guys
i m having a strange problem in my scenario,specially with FCC,i have a HTTP to File scenario and some times i get '&' or '&' in the payload,now i can take care of & by changing the encoding to ISO-8859-1 but i still cant handle &.
i dont have any mappings in my scenario so i keep on getting errors in RWB saying that ; expected after &.
any idea how can i handle this?
thanx
ahmad

Hey
yes its possible through adapter module too.
it can actually be done by means of Java mapping or adapter module.
have a look at the following Re: Ampersand ('&') in XML - Mapping error

In PI how do I convert the XML payload (input) to a text file and send out

I am extracting data from SAP and sending thru XI / PI to a file (non-sap system).
On the receiving end, I need the file to be a text file, with one row for each "FTZ_Row concatenated_data" tag in the input. It needs to be just a plain text file with no XML tags.
Currently the file gets one record which matches exactly to the XML payload below.
I want it to create a file that looks like this :
           CONCATENATED DATA 1
           CONCATENATED DATA 2
            012345678912345678MAKTX-TEST LB 123123123123 01/02/2009 Z001WCHA9876543210.12
here is the payload going thru XI
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <n0:FTZ_Concatenated_Row xmlns:n0="http://intel.com/xi/INTEL_PROCUREMENT/ForeignTradeZone" xmlns:prx="urn:sap.com:proxy:FI0:/1SAI/TAS0C0412CDBC3E782D0219:700:2008/06/25">
<FTZ_Row concatenated_data="CONCATENATED DATA 1" />
<FTZ_Row concatenated_data="CONCATENATED DATA 2" />
<FTZ_Row concatenated_data="012345678912345678MAKTX-TEST LB 123123123123 01/02/2009 Z001WCHA9876543210.12" />
</n0:FTZ_Concatenated_Row>
thanks
jay

thanks for the input but I am still having issues - I get an empty file when I use the content conversion option.
My payload coming into XI is :
        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <n0:FTZ_Concatenated_Row xmlns:n0="http://intel.com/xi/INTEL_PROCUREMENT/ForeignTradeZone" xmlns:prx="urn:sap.com:proxy:FI0:/1SAI/TAS0C0412CDBC3E782D0219:700:2008/06/25">
<FTZ_Row concatenated_data="CONCATENATED DATA 1" />
<FTZ_Row concatenated_data="CONCATENATED DATA 2" />
<FTZ_Row concatenated_data="012345678912345678MAKTX-TEST LB 123123123123 01/02/2009 Z001WCHA9876543210.12" />
</n0:FTZ_Concatenated_Row>
Here is the layout of my data type - I am using the same for input & output
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://intel.com/xi/INTEL_PROCUREMENT/ForeignTradeZone" targetNamespace="http://intel.com/xi/INTEL_PROCUREMENT/ForeignTradeZone">
   <xsd:complexType name="FTZ_Concatenated_Row">
      <xsd:sequence>
         <xsd:element name="FTZ_Row" maxOccurs="unbounded">
            <xsd:complexType>
               <xsd:attribute name="concatenated_data" type="xsd:string" />
            </xsd:complexType>
         </xsd:element>
      </xsd:sequence>
   </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>
I mapped these items : FTZ_Concatenated_Row & FTZ_Row & concatenated_data
I set up my content convesion with :
recordset structure   FTZ_Row
FTZ_Row.fieldSeparator     #
FTZ_Row.endSeparator     'nl'
I am not sure why the following row looks like this ??
    <FTZ_Row concatenated_data="CONCATENATED DATA 1" />
I thought FTZ_Row would be one tag and "concatenated_data" would be another one.
any help would be appreciated.
I have read many entries/blogs/etc in SDN but and tried many different setups, but nothing is working.
thanks

"Error while parsing SOAP XML payload: no element found" received when invoking Web Service

Running PB 12.1 Build 7000. Using Easysoap. Error ""Error while parsing SOAP XML payload: no element found" received when invoking Web Service". This error does not appear to be coming from the application code. Noticed that there were some erroneous characters showing up within the header portion of the XML ("&Quot;"). Not sure where these are coming from. When I do a find within the PB code for """" it gets located within two objects, whereas they both reference a "temp_xml_letter". Not sure where or what temp_xml_letter resides???   The developer of this is no longer with us and my exposure to WSDL and Web Services is rather limited. Need to get this resolved...please.

Maybe "extraneous" is an incorrect term. Apparantly, based upon the writeup within Wiki, the parser I am using does not interpret the """? How do I find which parser is being utilized and how to control it?
<<<
If the document is read by an XML parser that does not or cannot read external entities, then only the five built-in XML character entities (see above) can safely be used, although other entities may be used if they are declared in the internal DTD subset.

SSL/TLS security certificate data match with XML Payload in SAP PI

Hi,
We are working on a solution where we would want to use SSL/TLS or WS Security with client server mutual authentication using client server certificates.
But, once the sender is authenticated using the certificates, can the XML payload be matched for the correctness with the certificate information? Is this available to PI integration engine at any time? Like Sender A autheticated as A using certificates, must be stopped if his XML payload is saying that he is sender B (which is most unlikely if we trust the senders but did not want to leave a loophole).
Any ideas here?
Thanks and Regards,
Vijay

Hi Wolfgang,
Cross-posting is discouraged and against the forum rules, because it is misused and makes a mess of the search due to distributed discussions and answers.
I will move it to the PI forum and add a watch on it as it is security forum related.
Unfortunately, the forum software does not have the option to "mirror" threads.
Cheers,
Julius

Namespace in XML Payload for HTTP Sender

Hello,
I have just configured my snychronous HTTP <--> RFC Scenario. When I want to test it with some XML payload in the HTTP testing tool I get a mapping runtime exception.
After some investigation using the test tab in the message mapping I realized that missing namespace in the XML payload caused the error. I tried to add manually a namespace to the XML and then it worked
This is very strange I though that the namespace of the sender interface is automatically added to the XML payload?
Do you have any information on this?

Hi,
U need to copy the payload from Message mapping test message tab and use that payload.
or u can use the HTTP test client for testing the same.
sample HTML code to create HTTP Client:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/66dadc6e-0a01-0010-9ea9-bb6d8ca48cc8
You can also use the Wfetch application by Microsift for the same..
download the same from below link

XML payload search in Xi messages

Hi All,
I need to get the XML pay load for a message which contains a specific value for a specific field. Also I need to get the XML message ID of this message. Is there any option available in Xi for this purpose?
Thanks in advance..

Hi,
sure it is but you need to use trex search engine for that
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/6030fae92f5f87e10000000a1553f6/content.htm
once you configure trex you will
be able to search for XML payload from RWB
(runtime workbench of XI)
this is the first - fast way
there are also some non standard ways
but these are pretty slow and if you have many messages
they will not be very efficient in use:

However as Krish has pointedf out file adapter has option to set encoding type, you can try that option first.

XML Payload does not have namespace and prefix.

Hello
I have created a consumer business service which will be called from JDEdwards EOne, pulls data from database and send it to Fusion Middleware.
SO, I have created proxy using JAX-WS option. And suggested in oracle doc, I created proxy outside OMW and then copied it to my project. XML payload is getting generated without namespace and prefix. After some research, I modified package-info.java. Now, I am able to send the payload and if test it locally from Jdeveloper and take xml output using marshaller I can see it has namespace and prefix as well. BUt, when I run this from server it does not have namespace and prefix.
Please help.
Thanks

Hi Naresh,
The "rejectedMessage" property is for 10G, I am not 100% sure about its implementation in 11G.
In 10G the faulted XML file moves to this location "Oracle_Home\bpel\domains\domain_name\jca\project_directory\rejectedMessages".
This property is used to move the files which are not valid XML or which are not schema compliant. For DB polling I don't think this property is used.

XML Payload extraction from XI Message

Hi to all,
I use the SXI_MONITOR transaction to see the XML Payload of XI Messages. In this transaction, each successfully message has a field "MainDocument" under "Response" section that contains the XML Payload of the message.
<B>There is a function module that I can use to extract the XML from MainDocument field?</B> I've tryed to look into SXMSCLUP and SXMSCLUR abap data tables but here I founded only the SOAP Header and SOAP Body data of the message. Here I can't see the "Payloads" data, so the MainDocument tag.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Ciao Gabriele,
there are differente way to do it.
one time I got same issue and I got some answer on the community.
Unfortunately there was no more need for it so i did not implement but
easily speaking in all the mapping got the payload therefore u need just to create a full mapping adn to process the data u get.
In java for example is given as input stream that u can store some where and process.
I pasted the result below:

XML Payload to Transaction Input

Hi,
For clarification, used to be (and still appears to be) that for transaction input properties, data type needed to be 'simple' (ie: string etc), and although we can have transaction input properties of type XML, they still appear in the WSDL as string. Although I can see that this works fine even if the string content is actually XML, and the inbound data (which in fact is XML as a string) still looks like XML in the transaction, is this still the recommended approach? Or is there another recommended way to get an XML payload passed in to a transaction using Runner / SOAPRunner from an external application.
Additionally, when calling the Runner (or SOAPRunner) from an external application, is there then any limit to the length of the URI call? I know that browsers have limits on the path, but here we're playing with a path + query string outside of browsers?
Are there any limitations on the Netweaver side?
By the way, currently using MII V12.2.2
Regards
Kevin.

Hi Kevin,
You can pass XML as string to a transaction and make input parameter as XML in transaction.
That is perfectly fine.
As far as I know about the limit of URL, It depends on the server.
However there are two methods to call a http webservice. GET and POST.
Use the POST method which is having more limit than GET method. I have faced issue with GET on high volume of data so replaced it with POST method. I have used the url with query parameters of a few MB's (approx 4-5) and never faced the limit issue with POST. You can check exact limit with some load testing on the server.
Thanks

Xml payload in a single field

Hi All,
I hve a scenario like this ERP->XI->Monitoring system
In the mapping, I need to assign the outbound payload (whole xml) to a field in the target
message field since the (Target) Monitoring system wants to receive the whole xml message in single field.
How can i achieve this?
Thanks

XML payload in RESTful webservice

Hi all,
Can anyone please suggest on how to call the RESTful webservice (which is used by our client) by passing an XML payload from a PL SQL stored procedure? It is for the authentication purpose. And the username and password has to be passed as the XML payload to the RESTful webservice . Please help, it's a bit urgent.
Thanks in advance
