IFX transformation in ABAP

Hello.
Well, this message try to get any primary information about SAP ABAP Transformations. While I get some answers, I'll read about SAP Transformations with ABAP, but maybe my solution can be answer it by some of you, because is too easy than I'm thinking.
1. - I need to read a string with tags, and convert it to a itab, and
2. - i need to write a string with tags, from itab data.
The tags definition is:
<IFX>
<SignonRq>
    <SignonPswd>
      <CustId>
        <SPName></SPName>
        <CustPermId></CustPermId>

      <CustPermId></CustPermId>
      <CustLoginId></CustLoginId>
    </CustId>
</SignoffRq>
</IFX>
Please, SAP Transformations can help me? How can I create the transformation file and ABAP code, according these definition?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
my problem is modifying a standard dso from an internal table which contains modified entries
from active table of dso.
Edit DSO Entries
I want to modify dso via a request (in order to modify all three tables automaticcaly)
i need to start a dtp.
as i have no transformation manually created in bi, my idea is to create dynamiccaly a dtp
which calls my coding in exper routine.
thanks

Simple Transformation from ABAP to XML and back

Hi experts,
Can anyone provide me a simple example of a 'simple transformation' that will convert and internal table with more than one column into XML via a simple transformation.
I've spend days now reading SAP help and e-learning examples, but this just won't work and I am getting short dumps saying 'The goal was to access variable "ROOT". However, this access was notv possible.'
Here is my ABAP:
data: begin of struc,
           counter type i,
           aname type string,
           aname2 type string,
      end of struc.
data: cnt_c type c.
data: itab like table of struc with HEADER LINE,
      xml_string type xstring.
do 3 times.
     move sy-index to: itab-counter, cnt_c.
     concatenate 'nameA' cnt_c into itab-aname.
     concatenate 'nameB' cnt_c into itab-aname2.
     append itab.
enddo.
CALL TRANSFORMATION Z_ST_TEST5
       SOURCE ROOT = itab
       RESULT XML xml_string.
CALL FUNCTION 'DISPLAY_XML_STRING'
EXPORTING
    XML_STRING            = xml_string.
skip 1.
and here is my ST:
<?sap.transform simple?>
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
<tt:root name="ROOT"/>
    <tt:template>
     <TABLE>
      <tt:loop ref=".ROOT" name="line">
        <ITEM>
          <counter>
            <tt:value ref="$line.aname" />
          </counter>
          <name>
            <tt:value ref="$line.aname" />
          </name>
          <name2>
            <tt:value ref="$line.aname2" />
          </name2>
        </ITEM>
      </tt:loop>
     </TABLE>
    </tt:template>
</tt:transform>

Figured it out. The interla tables used in teh call transformation statement can never have a header line.

Problem with "CALL Transformation" in ABAP

Hello All,
I am creating XML from ABAP program and using CALL TRANSFORMATION. Everything works fine but when my XML is created sometimes in some "element" values it is truncating space between the texts. For example, I have a field "description" with value "Bon Apetite" it changes to "BonApetite" (space truncated) after transformation! I did research everywhere but could not find why this would happen! Please give me any feedback if you have any information.
Thanks.
Mithun

Hello Mithun,
when you use the call transformation statement you have to specifiy the xslt transformation used. As a first step you usually use the transformation with the name ID. This is a special transformation for making the asXML representation of abap data. Unfortunately if you look into this transformation you find the following:
<xsl:transform version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
If I remember correctly when you use another transformation this will first call the ID transformation and after this the specified one. So it should not be possible to just copy ID transformation and remove the line. I'll have to think again how to avoid the behaviour.
Best Regards
Roman

Dynamic XSLT Transformation for ABAP

Hi Team,
I have a simple requirement, but could not get it to work. Tried different posts but need some help.
I have an input XML file as follows:
<ITEM>
   <ITEMQUALF>
   <MATERIAL>
   <UPC>
   <VENDORMATERIAL>
<ITEM>
I created my internal table with the exact fields as above and created a transformation which works fine. The problem is, there are scenario's where only one tag "MATERIAL", "UPC", OR "VENDORMATERIAL" is passed in the input XML. Empty tags are not passed. For E.G.
<ITEM>
<ITEMQUALF>
<UPC>
<ITEM>
My transformation fails in this scenario because it does not finds the MATERIAL and VENDORMATERIAL tags. I tried using the <tt:cond/> tag, but no luck. I have some specific questions:
1) How to take care of this scenario where empty tags are not passed? (I have the Superset of all the Tags available in an XSD). A quick Sample would help me a lot because I have spent weeks breaking my head with this.
2) Is there any other method or Option to parse a very larger input file (~40 MB) as above? I have seen the iXML ABAP methods but don't know if we should use XSLT or iXML or is there any other method. We don't have XI in our landscape. Our system is ECC 6.0, ABAP 7.0 - SP 17, Enhancement Pack 3.
Any pointers would help a lot. Thanks for your time.
Regards
Sanjay

Hello Sanjay
In such a scenario I usually make pre-transformation filling the missing elements before the main mapping.
Input:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<List>
<ITEM>
    <ITEMQUALF/>
    <MATERIAL/>
    <UPC/>
    <VENDORMATERIAL/>
</ITEM>
<ITEM>
    <ITEMQUALF/>
    <UPC/>
</ITEM>
<ITEM>
    <MATERIAL/>
</ITEM>
</List>

                        <xsl:value-of select="ITEMQUALF"/>
                    </xsl:element>
                    <xsl:element name="MATERIAL">

                    </xsl:element>
                    <xsl:element name="VENDORMATERIAL">
                        <xsl:value-of select="VENDORMATERIAL"/>
                    </xsl:element>

Problem with CALL TRANSFORMATION xml - abap

Hello!
I got the following problems using call transformation to read a xml-file to local abap datatype!
Simple xml file for testing:
<BMECAT>
<HEADER>
asdf
</HEADER>
</BMECAT>
XSLT file:
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl" version="1.0">

    <xsl:value-of select="./BMECAT/HEADER"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
The xslt transformation works with xslt-tester!
My Source:
DATA: xmlupl TYPE string,
outputx TYPE XSTRING,
lv_string TYPE string.
* in xmlupl my xml import is stored
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'

After debugging in xslt_message is stored the following text:
"The element abap was expected for the XML-ABAP transformation"
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Regards,
Daniel

hi
good
try this code
Just look at this piece of code, I think it should help you.
DATA : ITAB   TYPE TABLE OF SPFLI,
         L_XML TYPE REF TO CL_XML_DOCUMENT.
SELECT * FROM SPFLI INTO TABLE ITAB.
CREATE THE XML OBJECT
CREATE OBJECT L_XML.
CONVERT THE DATA TO XML
CALL METHOD L_XML->CREATE_WITH_DATA( DATAOBJECT = ITAB[] ).
DATA IS CONVERTED TO XML; DISPLAY THE XML-DOCUMENT
CALL METHOD L_XML->DISPLAY.

Transformation XML - abap

dear abap experts,
i currently want to read an xml file and convert it to an internal table in abap program.
in sap help, i find TRANSFORMATION, but the example there is convert from data in abap to xml format.
i have tried to convert from xml file to data in abap program and i face a short dump with error message XML_FORMAT_ERROR. do i need to make a proper structure for keeping my xml format ?
or is there something miss in my program ?
beside using transformation, is there any way to convert string that content xml file content to an internal table ?
please advice
regards
eddhie

<i>XML_FORMAT_ERROR</i>
this happens if the XML is not well formed. to make sure its well formed, just copy paste the xml in question into a notepad and save it as .xml. now double click it, it should open in Internet explorer and show the xml in tree format. if the xml is not well formed, browser wont render it and throw error message.
if the xml is a small document, post it here we can see whats wrong.
to convert XML to ABAP you can use CALL TRANSFORMATION key word which will require to you do develope XLST program to do the conversion.
of you can use FM SMUM_XML_PARSE.
(search this forum, i have already provided code sample for this FM)

are you trying to transform XML to itab?
is the xml well formed one - you can check this by running the xml file in webbrowser, if it doesnt display, then it means the xml is not well formed.

About single transformation in ABAP

Hi gurus,
We are trying to use single transformation to change an ABAP internal table to xml.
Our structure of internal table is like below:
DATA: BEGIN OF I_TOXML,
                  A TYPE CHAR10,
                  B TYPE CHAR10,
          END OF I_TOXML.
The xml after transformation should be the following way:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<ufinterface billtype="bscubas" filename="test.xml">
     <basdoc id="A">
       <basdoc_head>
      </basdoc_head>
     </basdoc>
</ufinterface>
The node basdoc can be unbounded, while basdoc_head only occur once. The attribute "id" for basdoc is the value of varible A of internal table.
Any help will be appreciated.
Moderator message: there is plenty of documentation on "simple transformations" to XML, please read that before asking for basic how-to.

Testing XML Transformation in ABAP

Hi,
I am trying to convert one XML file into ABAP structure.
Once I enter into transformation editor, I am unable to test the transformation.
Please let me know, how can I test the same.
Thanks
Nikhil

Thanks for your response
Here is the complete Scenario
1) we are receiving the XML file as the input to our RFC
2) we are populating the data from XML in to ABAP Structures using the ABAP Transformations.
Bellow is my doubts
I want to know how I can test the transformation passing the XML file as input in Transformation Editor.
Is there any Standard routine or simple procedure in ABAP to convert the XML into ABAP? Simple documentation on transformations will be helpful me.
Is there any direct Transaction code to test the Transformation if so please help me how I can test the Transformation passing the XML file.

Read current DTP filter value in Transformation via ABAP

Hi guys!
Here's the case.
In DTP filter there is an OLAP variable, which value depends a lot on where the DTP was started from and what starting parameters are.
We need to read the value of this variable in order to write some ABAP routines in Transformation.
How can we read the current value of our OLAP variable?
Thanks a lot for you help!

Simple Transformation XML to ABAP Content of tag with subtrees to string field

Hi,
I have an requirement in which I have to do a transformation from an XML file to an structure.
I need get the value of a tag that have subtrees and move that to a field in my structure.
Example:
<TAG1>value1</TAG1>
<TAG2>value2</TAG2>
<TAG3>
     <TAG4>value4</TAG4>
     <TAG5>value5</TAG5>
</TAG3>
Result expected in ABAP Structure:
field1 -> tag1
field2 -> tag2
field3 -> <TAG4>value4</TAG4><TAG5>value5</TAG5>
The contents of the tag TAG3 is variable, so I want to store it as a string.
Can I make this with Simple Transformation?
In my tests I can move only the value of each child tag for the given field structure.
This syntax dont work:
<TAG3 tt:value-ref="STRUCTURE.FIELD3"/>
Thanks and Regards,
Miguel Motta

Hallo Rainer!
Many thanks. I have checked the profile parameter ztta/max_memreq_MB and it is set to 2048 MB in the development system. I hope, that won't be less on the client's machine. The only thing I did not clearly explained, is that I need to write XML data to the server. I am so sorry. Downloading to the local PC is very helpful for me also, but only for the test purposes.
