Thanks in advance!!!!

I do not think this is a complex XML structure. All that you need to take care is about the contexts. How ever it is not possible to give u the complete mapping here. If you have tried mapping already and facing some issues.. please put it here.. so that some one can help you.

Conversion of hierarchy structure to flat structure

Hi Gurus,
I am mapping a multi node XML structure to flat structure to create the JDBC statements to Oracle database. I think JDBC DML statement can have only flat structure.
Now how to convert the incoming multi node xml file to several flat structures?
Can I map the multi node XML structure to jdbc structure?
Please help me this is critical.
Thanks

Chilla,
Thanks for the post. My source structure is as below. I have to map this one to flat structure for JDBC. For each customer_num, drop_point there are many customer brands. Now with the customer number and drop point, we have to create the flat structure for each customer brand.

Can someone advise me on how to map this correctly?
Thank you,
Rhonda

Hello,
Can someone please help me with this problem?
I am at the point where all of the records in my source message are being written out, however, all of the header records are together and all of the line item records are together. So, the target message is not in the proper sequence. It should contain the header record, then item records, header record, then item records, etc.
Is there anyone that can help me with this issue?
Thank you,
Rhonda

HOW TO MAP IDOC TO XML

As it a tedious process to go to 400 fields for each xml element.Is their any better way to find correct field in IDOC with very minial time rather going 400 fields for each xml element.
thanks

hi,
>>1)Even SAP it self does not encourage to use ABAP >>MAPPING and
i dont know where you have read this, but ABAP mapping is one of the most popular/ most efficient and highly recomended by SAP. I have used it in tons of places.
>>2)More over Iam not ABAP resource.
you could also do a java mapping.
there is no other easy way if you are not doing abap/java mapping. you are then left with the only option of using the graphical editor.
cheers,

How to map a complex XML message onto a flattened XSD for multi line insert

Hi Experts.
I have a webservice in my composite that takes an xml message that contains repeating complex type elements. The XSD is as follows:
<?xml version= '1.0' encoding= 'UTF-8' ?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:XxInt003Stg="http://www.somewhere.co.uk/xxx/integration/int003Stage"

When I try to push this through the database adapter after mapping the fields it inserts multiple rows but they are all the same values. I have put a for-each XSLT construct based on the lowest element in the XSD (Invoice Line) and allocated that at various places on the target tree structure but with no success.
The XSLT is as follows:
<xsl:template match="/">
<top:XxInt003InterfaceInvoiceStgCollection>
<top:XxInt003InterfaceInvoiceStg>
<top:fileName>
<xsl:value-of select="/inp1:InterfacePayload/inp1:InterfaceFiles/inp1:FileName"/>
</top:fileName>
<top:fileSource>
<xsl:value-of select="/inp1:InterfacePayload/inp1:InterfaceFiles/inp1:FileSource"/>
</top:fileSource>
<top:fileIdentifier>
<xsl:value-of select="/inp1:InterfacePayload/inp1:InterfaceFiles/inp1:FileIdentifier"/>
</top:fileIdentifier>
<top:supplierNumber>
<xsl:value-of select="/inp1:InterfacePayload/inp1:InterfaceFiles/inp1:InterfaceInvoices/inp1:InterfaceInvoice/inp1:SupplierNumber"/>
</top:supplierNumber>
<top:supplierSite>
<xsl:value-of select="/inp1:InterfacePayload/inp1:InterfaceFiles/inp1:InterfaceInvoices/inp1:InterfaceInvoice/inp1:SupplierSite"/>
</top:supplierSite>
<top:invoiceNumber>
<xsl:value-of select="/inp1:InterfacePayload/inp1:InterfaceFiles/inp1:InterfaceInvoices/inp1:InterfaceInvoice/inp1:InvoiceNumber"/>
</top:invoiceNumber>
<xsl:for-each select="/inp1:InterfacePayload/inp1:InterfaceFiles/inp1:InterfaceInvoices/inp1:InterfaceInvoice/inp1:InterfaceInvoiceLines/inp1:InterfaceInvoiceLine">
<top:lineAmount>
<xsl:value-of select="/inp1:InterfacePayload/inp1:InterfaceFiles/inp1:InterfaceInvoices/inp1:InterfaceInvoice/inp1:InterfaceInvoiceLines/inp1:InterfaceInvoiceLine/inp1:LineAmount"/>
</top:lineAmount>
</xsl:for-each>
<top:taxAmount>
<xsl:value-of select="/inp1:InterfacePayload/inp1:InterfaceFiles/inp1:InterfaceInvoices/inp1:InterfaceInvoice/inp1:InterfaceInvoiceLines/inp1:InterfaceInvoiceLine/inp1:TaxAmount"/>
</top:taxAmount>
<top:businessEntityReference>
<xsl:value-of select="/inp1:InterfacePayload/inp1:InterfaceFiles/inp1:InterfaceInvoices/inp1:InterfaceInvoice/inp1:InterfaceInvoiceLines/inp1:InterfaceInvoiceLine/inp1:BusinessEntityReference"/>
</top:businessEntityReference>
<top:accountNumber>
<xsl:value-of select="/inp1:InterfacePayload/inp1:InterfaceFiles/inp1:InterfaceInvoices/inp1:InterfaceInvoice/inp1:InterfaceInvoiceLines/inp1:InterfaceInvoiceLine/inp1:AccountNumber"/>
</top:accountNumber>
</top:XxInt003InterfaceInvoiceStg>
</top:XxInt003InterfaceInvoiceStgCollection>
</xsl:template>
I am sure this is just something fundemantal I am doing, is it something to do with the inp1 bit of the XSLT? I get the feeling this should be looping somehow?
Thanks
Keith

Hi,
as I understand you try to transform 'InterfacePayload' (your XSD - just easier to read here)
InterfacePayload (1:1)
-- InterfaceFiles (1:N)
---- FileName (1:1)
---- FileSource (1:1)
---- FileIdentifier (1:1)
---- InterfaceInvoices (1:1)
------ InterfaceInvoice (1:N)
-------- SupplierNumber (1:1)
-------- SupplierSite (1:1)
-------- InvoiceNumber (1:1)
-------- InterfaceInvoiceLines (1:1)
---------- InterfaceInvoiceLine (1:N)
------------ LineAmount (1:1)
------------ TaxAmount (1:1)
------------ BusinessEntityReference (1:1)
------------ AccountNumber (1:1)
to 'XxInt003InterfaceInvoiceStgCollection' (extracted from your XSLT)
XxInt003InterfaceInvoiceStgCollection (1:1)
-- XxInt003InterfaceInvoiceStg (1:1)
---- fileName (1:1)
---- fileSource (1:1)
---- fileIdentifier (1:1)
---- supplierNumber (1:1)
---- supplierSite (1:1)
---- invoiceNumber (1:1)
---- lineAmount (1:N)
---- taxAmount (1:1)
---- businessEntityReference (1:1)
---- accountNumber (1:1)
In the 'xsl:for-each' construct
+<xsl:for-each select="/inp1:InterfacePayload/inp1:InterfaceFiles/inp1:InterfaceInvoices/inp1:InterfaceInvoice/inp1:InterfaceInvoiceLines/inp1:InterfaceInvoiceLine">+
+<top:lineAmount>+
+<xsl:value-of select="/inp1:InterfacePayload/inp1:InterfaceFiles/inp1:InterfaceInvoices/inp1:InterfaceInvoice/inp1:InterfaceInvoiceLines/inp1:InterfaceInvoiceLine/inp1:LineAmount" />+
+</top:lineAmount>+
+</xsl:for-each>+
- you are asking to iterate through all available 'inp1:InterfaceInvoiceLine' elements in the input XML document
- the value of the element 'top:lineAmount' (for each iteration) is being calculated as all values of available 'inp1:LineAmount' elements in the input XML document together
So, if you have ... lets say
- 4x 'inp1:InterfaceInvoiceLine' element in the input XML document, each containing one 'inp1:LineAmount' element ... with values {1, 2, 3, 4} respectively
- the output will be something like this
<top:lineAmount>1234</top:lineAmount>
<top:lineAmount>1234</top:lineAmount>
<top:lineAmount>1234</top:lineAmount>
<top:lineAmount>1234</top:lineAmount>
Why are you always querying from +/inp1:InterfacePayload/inp1:InterfaceFiles/...+ ?
I think ... all Xpath queries in your XSLT are wrong (they query something else than you think).
e.g.
- putting all file names together into one element (+/inp1:InterfacePayload/inp1:InterfaceFiles/inp1:FileName+)
- putting all file sources together into one element (+/inp1:InterfacePayload/inp1:InterfaceFiles/inp1:FileSource+)
- putting all invoice numbers together into one element (+/inp1:InterfacePayload/inp1:InterfaceFiles/inp1:InterfaceInvoices/inp1:InterfaceInvoice/inp1:InvoiceNumber+)
Best regards,
Martin.

How to map an large XML document to the XMLType with TopLink in JDev

Hello!
We need to map an XML document in the Java String to an XMLType column. If the XML document has less than 4000 characters, we have no problems by using the DirectToField mapping. However, once the XML document has more than 4000 characters, using the DirectToField mapping, we got the error: Exception [TOPLINK-4002] (Oracle TopLink - 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.0.0) (Build 060118)): oracle.toplink.exceptions.DatabaseException
Internal Exception: java.sql.BatchUpdateException: ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column
Then we have tried to use the "Type Conversion" mapping, to map it to the database type (Clob or NClob --oracle.toplink.oraclespecific). we got:
Exception [TOPLINK-4002] (Oracle TopLink - 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.0.0) (Build 060118)): oracle.toplink.exceptions.DatabaseException
Internal Exception: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got CLOB
Error Code: 932
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks Matt! It works fine by using DirectToXMLTypeMapping.
However, to get it work is not smooth. In particularly, we use Jdev in our project and Jdev has not included this feature yet. Therefore, I had to use the TopLink Workbench to create the descriptor file and cut&paste to the description file that generated by JDev. And also xdb.jar has to be part of the classpath.
Then I come to an question -- how can we take some features that only provided by the TopLink Workbench into the Jdev environment without having to hack around?
Thanks,
s.c.

How to map data in xml format to BAPIs tructures?

A webservice call to an external system from XI, is returning data to XI in xml format.
This needs to be formatted to map to the structure of BAPI from SAP.
I searched and found several threads pointing to do transformations.
But I am not sure where to start. So this thread is being posted.
Please help.
Thanks,

Please let me know how to achive this.
I tried to achive this by changing the context of the target field, but in that case I am loosing the sequence. I get all delivery together, all Item together..like this.Please tell me how to retain the sequence.
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks in advance,
Shweta.

Nested structure to flat structure in the PI mapping

Dear friends,
I've a issue regarding message mapping within PI 7.0
This is how my source structure looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<stop>
 <stopreference/>
 <action>
 <actionreference>1</actionreference>
 <shipment>
 <shipmentreference>11</shipmentreference>
 <goods>
 <goodsreference>111</goodsreference>
 </goods>
 <goods>
 <goodsreference>111</goodsreference>
 </goods>
 </shipment>
 </action>
 <action>
 <actionreference>2</actionreference>
 <shipment>
 <shipmentreference>22</shipmentreference>
 <goods>
 <goodsreference>222</goodsreference>
 </goods>
 </shipment>
 </action>
</stop>
The target structure looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Test>
 <STOPDETAILS>
 <item>
 <EXTERNAL_STOP/>
 <EXTERNAL_ACTION/>
 <EXTERNAL_SHIP/>
 <EXTERNAL_GOOD/>
 </item>
 </STOPDETAILS>
</Test>
In the source message the stop is the header and within a stop there can be 0 or more actions, within action there can be 0 or more shipments and within a shipment there can be 0 or more goods...
My target message is a flat XML structure...
The customer wants to see an Item target structure for every goods, the shipment, the action and the stop. If the there are no goods, they wants just to see the shipment, the action and the stop...and so on...
So its look like this:
stop 1 - action 1 - shipment 1 - good 1
stop 1 - action 1 - shipment 1 - good 2
stop 1 - action 1 - shipment 2 - good 1
stop 1 - action 1 - shipment 2 - good 2
stop 1 - action 2 - shipment 1 - good 1
stop 1 - action 2 - shipment 1 - good 2
And so on...
I've to solve this issue in the Graphical Mapping...
Do you have a suggestion how to do that?
Kind regards,
Kamran

URGENT How to map an aggregated result to Target flat-file?**

All,
I am trying to map the result of the following query from 'source1' to my target which is a flat file.
The query result set has 'one row per account' which is unique and record looks like :
12300,9675,2008,6,11250,$-2095.48
Questions>>>
1. what is the proper context ( at what level-- project, global?) should I create the $v_year, $v_period variables.?
I need the values for this 2 variables to be recognized at the end once I 'package' the mapping
so user can pass on the values at runtime.
2. Can this query somehow to be plugged as a 'filter' on top of the 'source1' in the interface? and result then mapped to the target?
what is the alternative if not? (dump it to another temp table? in SUNOPSIS memory engine?)
SELECT
PS_.product,
PS_.operating_unit,
$V_YEAR,
$V_PERIOD,
PS_.account,
SUM(PS_.posted_total_amt) TOT_AMT
FROM psoftdb.ps_ledger PS_
WHERE
((PS_.ledger='ACTUALS')
AND (PS_.accounting_period <=$V_PERIOD)
AND (PS_.fiscal_year=$V_YEAR)
AND ((SUBSTR(PS_.account,1,1)='1' OR
SUBSTR(PS_.account,1,1)='2' OR
SUBSTR(PS_.account,1,1)='3')
GROUP BY
PS_.product,
PS_.operating_unit,
PS_.account

IN order to do this you will need to declare two variables - at project level, with non-persistent type. You will need to have reverse engineered the source table into a data model. You should also define your flat file as a data model too. If this does not already exist, you will need to manually define it.
Create a package in which the first steps are to declare the variables.
then insert an interface which uses your source table as a source and your flat file as a target.
In the interface select "Staging area different from target" and select the schema of your source from the drop-down.
In your source, drag all the columns on which you want to filter (including accounting_period and fiscal_year) on to the grey background and fill in the filter details. Use the expression editor to set the filter, selecting the variable from the list, which ensures the correct syntax is used.
Fill in all the other mapping details.
On the flow tab select the IKM SQL to File Append as your IKM. This should allow you to create your output in one step.
Build a scenario from your package, and when you execute it pass in the variables:
e.g. startscen MYSCEN MYCONTEXT 001 "-MYPROJ.V_YEAR=1999" "-MYPROJ.V_PERIOD=07"

Transforming XML File to abap structure

Hello,
I am working in a new project for making an input interface.
The problem to resolv is :
1>Reading an XML file on a unix Server
2>Transforming this file in abap structure with the instruction
call transformation.
Format of the input file :
<LISTEART>
<ART code="A01" label="Designation A01"/>
<ART code="A02" label="Designation A02"/>
<ART code="A03" label="Designation A03"/>
<ART code="A04" label="Designation A04"/>
<ART code="A05" label="Designation A05"/>
</LISTEART>
Format of the abap structure :
DATA : BEGIN OF ws_art,
code(4) TYPE c,
label(3) TYPE c,
END OF ws_art.
DATA : wt_art LIKE ws_art OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
is it possible to transform the input file to an internal table
with the call transformation ?
CALL TRANSFORMATION transfo
 SOURCE XML xml_string
 RESULT para = result.
Somebody can explain me how to create links between xml file
and abap structure ?
with regards

Hi,
try like this.
TYPES: BEGIN OF day,
name TYPE string,
work(1) TYPE c,
END OF day.
DATA: BEGIN OF week,
day1 TYPE day,
day2 TYPE day,
day3 TYPE day,
day4 TYPE day,
day5 TYPE day,
day6 TYPE day,
day7 TYPE day,
END OF week.
DATA xml_string TYPE string.
DATA result LIKE week.
week-day1-name = 'Monday'. week-day1-work = 'X'.
week-day2-name = 'Tuesday'. week-day2-work = 'X'.
week-day3-name = 'Wednesday'. week-day3-work = 'X'.
week-day4-name = 'Thursday'. week-day4-work = 'X'.
week-day5-name = 'Friday'. week-day5-work = 'X'.
week-day6-name = 'Saturday'. week-day6-work = ' '.
week-day7-name = 'Sunday'. week-day7-work = ' '.
CALL TRANSFORMATION ...
SOURCE root = week
RESULT XML xml_string.
CALL TRANSFORMATION ...
SOURCE XML xml_string
RESULT root = result.

How to get the WHOLE xml document inside a string using XSLT mapping

Hi folks,
I have a deep xml structure that I want to embed as body, tags included, in a mail message (not as an attachment).
I'm trying to use Michal's method in this blog
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/01/xi-xml-node-into-a-string-with-graphical-mapping
However, I can't get it to deliver the entire structure instead of just specific elements.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Guy

Ashok,
I was able to work it out for my case.
This XSL......
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<inside>
<namestring>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[<![CDATA[]]></xsl:text>
<xsl:copy-of select="outside/name/*"/>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[]]]]></xsl:text>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[>]]></xsl:text>
</namestring>
</inside>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
...will transform this input....
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<outside>
<name>
<nameone>name1</nameone>
<nametwo>name2</nametwo>
<namethree>name3</namethree>
</name>
</outside>
...and put the whole lot into the CDATA element.
Hope this helps you,
Guy
