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,
RP

Automatic IDOC parse in ABAP Mapping?

Hi,
I'm creating a very complex mapping in an IDOC -> PI -> File scenario and I'm using ABAP Mapping to do that.
I already know how to parse an inbound xml but it's a "heavy" job and the code finishes very "hardcoded".
As you know, SAP uses the structure EDIDD to send/receive IDOC data generically. So I'm sure that internally SAP has a method/function or something to convert the XML data sent by PI to that EDIDD data structure when you send an Idoc through PI. I can't found that, do you know if it exists?
Thanks

You can use function module IDX_XML_TO_IDOC to convert the XML to IDOC type internal tables.
Check for other function module in function group IDOC_ADAPTER_MB.

IDOC XML Parsing

Hi Everyone.
I've got some lovely XML IDocs. I'd like to read them into the IDOC Class Library and send them to SAP with JCo..........
But I can't get some simple code to parse the XML. I've been sending XMLs to SAP for a long time and they were always valid in SAP. They are also valid XML.
I also borrowed the code directly out of the JCo documentation, so you'd think it would work.
I'm using Java 6, IDoc Class lib 3.01. I've also tried Java 5. If I could parse the XML I would be using SAP 4.7 and JCo 3.01....
I've used JDOM for creating my XML. I've tried UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 encoding. The error doesn't change
The error message i get is IDOC_ERROR_PARSE_FAILURE: Invalid charachter encountered in XML input data sourcee: state=EXPECTING_IMMEDIATE_TAG_END, charPosition=48, lineNumber=1, columnNumber=49, invalidChar=U+0053, sourceSnippet=...<?xml version "1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>....
Heres my function I'm using.
(getRfcConnection is my own helper function to create a RFC Destination)
The rest of it is really just copied + pasted from the documentation.
public static void submitXml(Sap_Pruefziffer sap_pruefziffer, String language,String iDocXML)
    throws JCoException, CS_Rfc_Exception, AbapException, IDocParseException
        JCoDestination destination = getRfcConnection(sap_pruefziffer,language);
        IDocRepository iDocRepository = JCoIDoc.getIDocRepository(destination);
        String tid = destination.createTID();
        IDocFactory iDocFactory = JCoIDoc.getIDocFactory();
        //this would be great for re-implementing the OrderDataFactory
        //although that works just fine
        // a) create new idoc
        /*IDocDocument doc = iDocFactory.createIDocDocument(iDocRepository,"MATMAS02");
        IDocSegment segment = doc.getRootSegment();
        segment = segment.addChild("E1MARAM");
        // and so on. See IDoc Specification .....
        JCoIDoc.send(doc, IDocFactory.IDOC_VERSION_DEFAULT, destination, tid);*/
        // b) use existent xml file
        //get IDOC XML/IDOC Parser
        IDocXMLProcessor processor=iDocFactory.getIDocXMLProcessor();
        //parse the XML/IDOC
        IDocDocumentList iDocList=processor.parse(iDocRepository, iDocXML);//, IDocXMLFormat.SAP_RELEASE_610, IDocXMLProcessor.PARSE_WITH_FIELD_VALUE_CHECKING
        //send the XML/IDOC per RFC (our destination)
        JCoIDoc.send(iDocList, IDocFactory.IDOC_VERSION_DEFAULT, destination, tid);
        //not really sure what this does
        destination.confirmTID(tid);
Thanks for your help in advance

Hi Martin,
For the XML file processing we have to use XML Parsers, these are bit difficult.
We got the same issue in our project, we written normal java code to parse the xml file.
Do one thing, if the xml file is not big one then take the xml data into a string. parse the string based on characters < and >.
Suppose we have xml data as below
String str = "<emp>employee1</emp>"
You have to get the string between >,<.

Problem in parsing in ABAP mapping

Hi all , In our ABAP mapping we are trying to create a DOM tree from a XML file but we are getting the error in the following statement
l_rc = if_iparser->parse( ).
when we track the error using
i = l_error->get_line( ). (result 0)
i = l_error->get_column( ). (result 2017)
str = l_error->get_reason( ). (Expected '<' or '/>' tag)
but strange thing is we can open the file using Stylus studio/ Altova / IE ..so may the problem is not in the XML file ....Has anybody faced the problem before ??

Hi,
Have a look at this link.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/46759682-0401-0010-1791-bd1972bc0b8a
I guess,your code may have problem.
Try doing this from document.
iparser = ixmlfactory->create_parser( stream_factory = streamfactory
istream = istream
document = idocument ).
iparser->parse( ).

Hope this will help.

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.

Idoc - JMS queue using ABAP Mapping

Hi all,
I am doing a idoc to JMS queue scenario using ABAP Mapping. I am new to ABAP
Basically i want to know how to read the OUTBOUND idoc segments and their field values. I have gone through link : IDOC--XI--IDOC Using ABAP MAPPING(Idoc to Idoc using ABAP Mapping).
If any body could suggest me how to read idoc->segment->fields or give some sample code, it would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance&
Regards,
Mani

Hi Mani,
Maybe it would be easier to use graphical mapping. In ABP mapping you have to parse XML and than create target document. If you want to do it I'd strongly advice you to read it:

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.

XML parser for Google maps

Hi every one,
I am trying to create a special format of an XML file for Google maps, I have a VI who takes the NMEA and sort out the parameters I need to create a track on the map, but I have try to make the XML file in LV but I get not right format of the XML.
This is how the file should look like :
file data.zip
And how it looks like when I use LV :
file LV_data.zip
Hope to try to find a solution

Looking for some basics/fundamentals of XML Parsing in ABAP

Hello SAP gurus
I have to start workign on a project that involves Variant Configuration stuff that will be sent as XML document. I have to parse the XML document and save the needed data in some custom tables. I heard that there are some standard functions that we can use to do this job. I tried searching SDN for string XML parsing and got tons of postings regarding this. I tried to go through them one by one but it was way beyond my understanding at this time. I am looking for the fundamentals or how to start from scratch.
I would appreciate if anybody can guide me to find some kind tutorial or basic info on where and how to start.
Thanks a lot in advance

XML parsing through CALL TRANSFORMATION is one of the easiest method. A transformation needs to be created as per your XML data in transaction XSLT_TOOL and the transformation needs to be called in ABAP program using "CALL TRANSFORMATION" statement.
Kindly search in internet for XSLT/simple transformations.

Even Based XML Parsing in ABAP

Hi all ,
Currently i am using DOM Based Parsing to parse XML in my ABAP program. i am planning to change the code by using Event based parsing which is recommended for perfomance when we parse large xml document
Any one have the Example program for event based parsing the xml .pls help me in this.
Thanks in Advance
Ram

Hello,
you can look at the coding example
data: event     type ref to if_ixml_event,
      event_sub type i
lp_dom type ref to if_ixml_document,
pstreamfac    TYPE REF TO if_ixml_stream_factory,
       pistream      TYPE REF TO if_ixml_istream,
create the factory for streams
pstreamfac = g_ixml->create_stream_factory( ).
create the input stream:
pistream = pstreamfac->create_istream_cstring( string = xml ).
lp_dom     = g_ixml->create_document( ).
create the iXML parser:
parser = g_ixml->create_parser(
stream_factory = pstreamfac
istream        = pistream
document       = lp_dom ).
let the parser know which events I am interested in
event_sub = if_ixml_event=>co_event_element_pre2 +
            if_ixml_event=>co_event_element_post.
parser->set_event_subscription( events = event_sub ).
do.
event = parser->parse_event( ).
if event is initial.
    exit. ' either end reached or error (check below)
endif.
data: str type string.
case event->get_type( ).
    when if_ixml_event~co_event_element_pre2.
      str = event->get_name( ). write: '<' str '>'.
    when if_ixml_event~co_event_text_post.
      str = event->get_value( ). write: str.
endcase.
enddo.
always check for errors:
if parser->num_errors( ) ne 0.
endif.

Marc

Problems with namespace XML Parsing of ABAP PI 7.0 Integration Engine

Hi,
I discovered the following problem.
The customer sends a SOAP message with is forwarded through a SOAP Adapter in the integration engine.
The structure of the message is very simple:
<Envelope>
<Body>
<ORDERS05>...</ORDERS05>
</Body>
</Envelope>
The customer adds the namespace information a special way:
<Envelope xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope">
<Body>
<orders05 xmlns="">...</orders05>
</Body>
<Envelope>
Here the namespaces is declared in the first element. It should be inherited into all child elements. The 'orders05' should not have the namespace ' xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope" ', therefore the namespace is overwritten with ' xmlns="" '. However I don't know if this is a correct xml statement, the SAP system did not understand this.
The integration throws an error which is stated in the message in the adapter engine:
2008-11-06 17:31:44 Fehler SOAPFault empfangen vom Integration Server. ErrorCode/Category: XIProtocol/ITEM_MISSING; Params: /@mustUnderstand, ST: ST_XMS_MSGHDR30_RM; AdditionalText: Attribut 'mustUnderstand' erwartet; ApplicationFaultMessage: ; ErrorStack: Das XML-Element /@mustUnderstand fehlt im SOAP-Message Header (SAP XI Extension) Attribut 'mustUnderstand' erwartet
2008-11-06 17:31:44 Fehler Fehler beim Übertragen der Message zum Endpunkt http://kas052.hauni.koerber.de:8036/sap/xi/engine?type=entry über die Verbindung SOAP_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System. Grund: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Received HTTP response code 500 : Error during parsing of SOAP header
If I changed the SOAP message to the common format, it is accepted by the integration engine.
<SOAP:Envelope xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope">
<SOAP:Body>
<orders05>...</orders05>
</SOAP:Body>
</SOAP:Envelope>
Here the namespace ' xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope" ' is defined with a prefix and assigned to the elements 'envelope' and 'body'. The 'orders05' element has no namespace.
However due to the xml syntax both messages are the same, so why the integration engine handle the messages different?
Best regards,
Nils Kloth

The valid SOAP format supported by XI is as follows
<SOAP:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP:Body>
    <m:MessageTypeName xmlns:m="Some-URI">
      <Price>34.5</Price>
    </m:MessageTypeName>
</SOAP:Body>
</SOAP:Envelope>
Ur sender system is not sending the data in correct Soap format and thats the cause of message rejection. The option you have to use the Soap adapter in "no soap" mode.

Prateek

Associating a DTD file with my XML Parser

I was using the XDK in JDeveloper 11g. I added my xml and the java file. But, was not able to associate the DTD file wiht my program. And when I run the program, it says:
no protocol: MeasDataCollection.dtd
Process exited with exit code 0.
Any help will be appreciated please.

Thnx. But, i could not find "content" in the project properties. There is a resource where the path is defined as projects current directory. So, do you think that putting the dtd file in that path will do the work?
I am using JDeveloper 11g as mentioned before.
Besides that, I didnt find any option to create dtd file inside JDeveloper New> XML section. Any help on this regard will be appreciable.
