Inbound XML file into ECC6 .. is middleware required?

Hi
We are running SAP ECC6 and do not have SAP XI.
An external system needs us to send an outbound WMTORD in XML format. We have configured the XML port and succesfully got an xmla file out of the system.
The external system will return a WMSUMO idox in XML format. ... but I am unclear if SAP can process this directly without some middleware or having to run special function modules (somehow?!).
Can anyone help clarify what needs to be done for the inbound xml file ... do I create a file port and SAP simply converts the xml into normal format?
I see some post about running function modules .. im not cleear on what program is used to run these
Any help appreciated
Thx

HI,
   To answer your question specifically, No, there is no need for an middleware for your case.
You can just create an inbound port of type xml file port and do the necessary IDOC inbound configuration and that should be enough.

    Not a perfectly framed question. How do you want to load the XML file? Hoping you want to parse the xml file and load it into a table you can do this.
    This is the xml file
    karthick% cat emp_details.xml
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <ROWSET>
    <ROW>
      <EMPNO>7782</EMPNO>
      <ENAME>CLARK</ENAME>

      <COM>0</COM>
      <DEPTNO>10</DEPTNO>
    </ROW>

    You can write a query like this.

  • How to load a XML file into a table

    Hi,
    I've been working on Oracle for many years but for the first time I was asked to load a XML file into a table.
    As an example, I've found this on the web, but it doesn't work
    Can someone tell me why? I hoped this example could help me.
    the file acct.xml is this:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
    <HEADER>
    <STATUS_CODE>100</STATUS_CODE>
    <STATUS_REMARKS>check</STATUS_REMARKS>
    </HEADER>
    <DETAILS>
    <DETAIL>
    <SEGMENT_NUMBER>2</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
    <REMARKS>rp polytechnic</REMARKS>
    </DETAIL>
    <DETAIL>
    <SEGMENT_NUMBER>3</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
    <REMARKS>rp polytechnic administration</REMARKS>
    </DETAIL>
    <DETAIL>
    <SEGMENT_NUMBER>4</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
    <REMARKS>rp polytechnic finance</REMARKS>
    </DETAIL>
    <DETAIL>
    <SEGMENT_NUMBER>5</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
    <REMARKS>rp polytechnic logistics</REMARKS>
    </DETAIL>
    </DETAILS>
    <HEADER>
    <STATUS_CODE>500</STATUS_CODE>
    <STATUS_REMARKS>process exception</STATUS_REMARKS>
    </HEADER>
    <DETAILS>
    <DETAIL>
    <SEGMENT_NUMBER>20</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
    <REMARKS> base polytechnic</REMARKS>
    </DETAIL>
    <DETAIL>
    <SEGMENT_NUMBER>30</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
    </DETAIL>
    <DETAIL>
    <SEGMENT_NUMBER>40</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
    <REMARKS> base polytechnic finance</REMARKS>
    </DETAIL>
    <DETAIL>
    <SEGMENT_NUMBER>50</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
    <REMARKS> base polytechnic logistics</REMARKS>
    </DETAIL>
    </DETAILS>
    </ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
    For the two tags HEADER and DETAILS I have the table:
    create table xxrp_acct_details(
    status_code number,
    status_remarks varchar2(100),
    segment_number number,
    remarks varchar2(100)
    before I've created a
    create directory test_dir as 'c:\esterno'; -- where I have my acct.xml
    and after, can you give me a script for loading data by using XMLTABLE?
    I've tried this but it doesn't work:
    DECLARE
    acct_doc xmltype := xmltype( bfilename('TEST_DIR','acct.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8') );
    BEGIN
    insert into xxrp_acct_details (status_code, status_remarks, segment_number, remarks)
    select x1.status_code,
            x1.status_remarks,
            x2.segment_number,
            x2.remarks
    from xmltable(
      '/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
      passing acct_doc
      columns header_no      for ordinality,
              status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
              status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
    ) x1,
    xmltable(
      '$d/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS[$hn]/DETAIL'
      passing acct_doc as "d",
              x1.header_no as "hn"
      columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
              remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS'
    ) x2
    END;
    This should allow me to get something like this:
    select * from xxrp_acct_details;
    Statuscode status remarks segement remarks
    100 check 2 rp polytechnic
    100 check 3 rp polytechnic administration
    100 check 4 rp polytechnic finance
    100 check 5 rp polytechnic logistics
    500 process exception 20 base polytechnic
    500 process exception 30
    500 process exception 40 base polytechnic finance
    500 process exception 50 base polytechnic logistics
    but I get:

    *Cause:    Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
    and if I try to change the script without using the column HEADER_NO to keep track of the header rank inside the document:
    DECLARE

    BEGIN
    insert into xxrp_acct_details (status_code, status_remarks, segment_number, remarks)
    select x1.status_code,
            x1.status_remarks,

    END;
    I get this message:

    My oracle version is 10gR2 Express Edition
    I do need a script for loading xml files into a table as soon as possible, Give me please a simple example for understanding and that works on 10gR2 Express Edition
    Thanks in advance!

    The reason your first SQL statement
    select x1.status_code,
            x1.status_remarks,
            x2.segment_number,
            x2.remarks
    from xmltable(
      '/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
      passing acct_doc
      columns header_no      for ordinality,
              status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
              status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
    ) x1,
    xmltable(
      '$d/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS[$hn]/DETAIL'
      passing acct_doc as "d",
              x1.header_no as "hn"
      columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
              remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS'
    ) x2
    returns the error you noticed
    PL/SQL: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got NUMBER
    is because Oracle is expecting XML to be passed in.  At the moment I forget if it requires a certain format or not, but it is simply expecting the value to be wrapped in simple XML.
    Your query actually runs as is on 11.1 as Oracle changed how that functionality worked when 11.1 was released.  Your query runs slowly, but it does run.
    As you are dealing with groups, is there any way the input XML can be modified to be like
    <ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
    <ACCOUNT_GROUP>
    <HEADER>....</HEADER>
    <DETAILS>....</DETAILS>
    </ACCOUNT_GROUP>
      <ACCOUNT_GROUP>
      <HEADER>....</HEADER>
      <DETAILS>....</DETAILS>
      </ACCOUNT_GROUP>
    </ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
    so that it is easier to associate a HEADER/DETAILS combination?  If so, it would make parsing the XML much easier.
    Assuming the answer is no, here is one hack to accomplish your goal
    select x1.status_code,
            x1.status_remarks,
            x3.segment_number,
            x3.remarks
    from xmltable(
      '/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
      passing acct_doc
      columns header_no      for ordinality,
              status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
              status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
    ) x1,
    xmltable(
      '$d/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS'
      passing acct_doc as "d",
      columns detail_no      for ordinality,
              detail_xml     xmltype       path 'DETAIL'
    ) x2,
    xmltable(
      'DETAIL'
      passing x2.detail_xml
      columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
              remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS') x3
    WHERE x1.header_no = x2.detail_no;
    This follows the approach you started with.  Table x1 creates a row for each HEADER node and table x2 creates a row for each DETAILS node.  It assumes there is always a one and only one association between the two.  I use table x3, which is joined to x2, to parse the many DETAIL nodes.  The WHERE clause then joins each header row to the corresponding details row and produces the eight rows you are seeking.
    There is another approach that I know of, and that would be using XQuery within the XMLTable.  It should require using only one XMLTable but I would have to spend some time coming up with that solution and I can't recall whether restrictions exist in 10gR2 Express Edition compared to what can run in 10.2 Enterprise Edition for XQuery.

  • Is there a way to import large XML files into HANA efficiently are their any data services provided to do this?

    1. Is there a way to import large XML files into HANA efficiently?
    2. Will it process it node by node or the entire file at a time?
    3. Are there any data services provided to do this?
    This for a project use case i also have an requirement to process bulk XML files, suggest me to accomplish this task

    Hi Patrick,
         I am addressing the similar issue. "Getting data from huge XMLs into Hana."
    Using Odata services can we handle huge data (i.e create schema/load into Hana) On-the-fly ?
    In my scenario,
    I get a folder of different complex XML files which are to be loaded into Hana database.
    Then I gotta transform & cleanse the data.
    Can I use oData services to transform and cleanse the data ?
    If so, how can I create oData services dynamically ?
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    Alekhya

  • Insert XML file into Relational database model - no XMLTYPE!

    Dear all,
    How can I store a known complex XML file into an existing relational database WITHOUT using xmltypes in the database ?
    I read the article on DBMS_XMLSTORE. DBMS_XMLSTORE indeed partially bridges the gap between XML and RDBMS to a certain extent, namely for simply structured XML (canonical structure) and simple tables.
    However, when the XML structure will become arbitrary and rapidly evolving, surely there must be a way to map XML to a relational model more flexibly.
    We work in a java/Oracle10 environment that receives very large XML documents from an independent data management source. These files comply with an XML schema. That is all we know. Still, all these data must be inserted/updated daily in an existing relational model. Quite an assignment isn't it ?
    The database does and will not contain XMLTYPES, only plain RDBMS tables.
    Are you aware of a framework/product or tool to do what DBMS_XMLSTORE does but with any format of XML file ? If not, I am doomed.
    Cheers.
    Luc.

  • Collect data from a dynamic XML file into multiple internal tables

    I need to convert the XML file into multiple internal tables. I tried many links and posts in SDN but still was facing difficulty in achieving this. Can some one tell me where I am going wrong.
    My XML file is of the following type.It is very complex and the dynamice.
    The following tags occur more than once in the XML file. The "I" and "L" tags and its child tags can occur ones or more than once for each XML file and it is not constant. i.e in one file they can occur 1 time and in another they can occur 100 times.
    "I" and "L" are child tags of <C>
    <I>
           <J>10</J>
             <K>EN</K>
      </I>
    <L>
             <J>20</J>
              <N>BB</N>
      </L>
    Tags <C> and <F> occur only ones for each XML file. <C> is the child tag of "A" and "F" is the child tag of <C>.
    I need to collect <D>, <E> in one internal table ITAB.
    I need to collect <G>, <H> in one internal table JTAB.
    I need to collect <J>, <K> in one internal table KTAB.
    I need to collect <J>, <N> in one internal table PTAB.
    Below is the complete XML file.
    ?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
    <A>
        <B/>
        <C>
           <D>RED</D>
           <E>999</E>
        <F>
           <G>TRACK</G>
           <H>PACK</H>
        </F>
        <I>
           <J>10</J>
           <K>EN</K>
        </I>
        <I>
           <J>20</J>
           <K>TN</K>
        </I>
        <I>
           <J>30</J>
           <K>KN</K>
        </I>
        <L>
           <J>10</J>
           <N>AA</N>
        </L>
        <L>
           <J>20</J>
           <N>BB</N>
        </L>
        <L>
           <J>30</J>
           <N>CC</N>
        </L>
        </C>
      </A>
    With the help of SDN I am able to gather the values of <D> <E> in one internal table.
    Now if I need to gather
    <G>, <H> in one internal table JTAB.
    <J>, <K> in one internal table KTAB.
    <J>, <N> in one internal table PTAB.
    I am unable to do. I am following  XSLT transformation method. If some one has some suggestions. Please help.

    Hi Rammohan,
    Thanks for the effort!
    But I don't need to use GUI upload because my functionality does not require to fetch data from presentation server.
    Moreover, the split command advised by you contains separate fields...f1, f2, f3... and I cannot use it because I have 164 fields.  I will have to split into 164 fields and assign the values back to 164 fields in the work area/header line.
    Moreover I have about 10 such work areas.  so the effort would be ten times the above effort! I want to avoid this! Please help!
    I would be very grateful if you could provide an alternative solution.
    Thanks once again,
    Best Regards,

  • Convert XML file into ABAP Query

    Hi All,
    Can we capture a XML file generated from a Non-SAP system in SAP system and convert into ABAP Query to retreive Data from DB and post it back as a XML query to the same Non-SAP system using a Middleware. Can this process be done in cache memory level itself instead of saving in DB.
    If it is possible pls do tell the procedure and steps to be followed.

  • How to upload an XML file into another system

    Hi friends,
    I have a requirement where I need to upload an  XML file into one system
    which has been downloaded  using  another  system.
    I have tried using the method ' cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload'
    to upload the file but it is going for dump.
    I have used the  method ' w_xml->import_from_file' also,
    but it is also going for dump ,because  both methods are using the same FM
    ' GUI_UPLOAD'.
    Can any one suggest on this.
    Regards,
    Bhargavi.D

    "Here is the  Explaination for uploading the XML   Format file to sap   " through ABAP Program ....
    1. Basically you simply have to convert the XML file into the proper IDoc format. There are many ways to achieve this. One solution would be to convert it externally to SAP, e.g. via VB Script or with an XSLT transformation. Or you use the built in SAP functions for importing an IDoc from an XML stream.
    2. Uploading a file is either done via GUI_UPLOAD or via the usual way of reading a file from the application server (Open dataset. Read dataset) But what do you mean by "send to external system"? Do you want to convert an IDoc into XML? Then you simply define an XML port with WE21 to send the IDoc out.
    Here is an example of code that loads an XML from file and posts it as an IDoc. Please keep in mind that the XML has to be in its canonical format as described in the interface repository: ifr.sap.com (choose the template of the desired IDoc from there as an example).

  • Receiving a inbound xml file in Business Connector

    Hi All,
    The requirement is we are receiving an inbound xml file at the BC end from a third party application.
    We have configured the url in the third party end as follows -
    http://ip address of BC:port address/invoke/Folder/Service
    When the file is posted, the xml file is normally routed to the service in the developer.
    In the developer we are using the service load document to load the file from the url location.
    But at present when a xml file is triggered from the third party application it is routed to the service, and on checking the url location http://ip address of BC:port address/invoke/Folder/Service the server slows down slowly and we are not able to access both the developer and administrator after this.
    Are we following the correct steps, or else is there anyother way of receiving the inbound file in BC.
    Any suggestions on this would be of great help.
    Please let me know if we are going wrong anywhere.
    Regards,
    Priya

    Hi priye,
    I am agreed with you approach, and this is what everyone do. :). So that is not a problem. May be something else will be the cause.
    >>>>In the developer we are using the service load document to load the file from the url location
    For load document, i don't think its necessary because using the URL post, you are submitting data directly to the Flow Service. So no need to do document load or anything. Also i am against to use the Save data in pipeline (savePipeline) service because when you transport this  in production you need to comment this step otherwise it will give other problems when this will run.
    if this approach is giving you performance problem, then try putting your xml file in you package directory and the write a file pooler and then parse this xml for ur use. this is one of the simple solutions.
    hope this will help you.
    Regards

  • Convert XML file into PDF file

    <b>XML to PDF</b>i want to Convert XML file into PDF file pl. any one can suggests API's

    Hi,
    There are many ways to convert XML files to PDFs through java.
    One of the easiest way is by using iText.jar which have classes for conversion.
    The following are the required steps
    1. Create a document object for the XML file ( Using DOM or SAX parser).
    2. Parse the xml document and extract the content to write in PDF.
    3.Create a itext Document object.
    4.Get a PdfWriter instance for the PDF file.
    5.Write in the pdf the extracted text using the document object.
    Refer <a href="http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/examples/com/lowagie/examples/general/HelloWorld.java">here</a> for a simple pdf writer example.
    Refer <a href="http://java.sun.com/developer/codesamples/xml.html">here</a> for examples of XML Parsers.

  • Combine 2 xml file into 1

    hello everyone,
    can i know is it posible to combine 2 xml file into one xml file?
    if possible
    can i know how?
    thank you
    : )

    Of course you have to make up some specifications to deal with the requirements forced by XML files. For example: an XML file must have a single root element, so you can't just concatenate the two input files. So your specifications have to say whether the root element of the result is a new element, containing two children which are the original input documents, or something else.

  • Loading an XML file into the table without creating a directory .

    Hi,
    I wanted to load an XML file into a table column . But I should not create a directory in the server and placing the XML file there and giving the path in the insert query. Can anybody help me here?
    Thanks in advance.

    You could write a java stored procedure that retrieves the file into a clob. Wrap that in a function call and use it in your insert statement.
    This solution require read privileges granted by sys and is therefore only feasible if the top-level directory/directories are known or you get read-access to everything.

  • Simple Transformation to deserialize an XML file into ABAP data structures?

    I'm attempting to write my first simple transformation to deserialize
    an XML file into ABAP data structures and I have a few questions.
    My simple transformation contains code like the following
    <tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates"
                  xmlns:pp="http://www.sap.com/abapxml/types/defined" >
    <tt:type name="REPORT" line-type="?">

      <tt:node name="TYPE_CSV" type="C" length="1" />
      <tt:node name="TYPE_XLS" type="C" length="1" />
      <tt:node name="TYPE_PDF" type="C" length="1" />
      <tt:node name="IS_NEW" type="C" length="1" />
    </tt:type>
    <tt:root name="ROOT2" type="pp:REPORT" />
        <QueryResponse>
        <tt:loop ref="ROOT2" name="line">
          <QueryResponseRow>
            <CompanyID>
              <tt:value ref="$line.COMPANY_ID" />
            </CompanyID>
            <JobID>
              <tt:value ref="$line.JOB_ID" />
            </JobID>
            <ExportTypes>
              <tt:loop>
                <ExportType>
                   I don't know what to do here (see item 3, below)
                </ExportType>
              </tt:loop>
            </ExportTypes>
            <IsNew>
              <tt:value ref="$line.IS_NEW"
              map="val(' ') = xml('false'), val('X') = xml('true')" />
            </IsNew>
          </QueryResponseRow>
          </tt:loop>
        </QueryResponse>
        </tt:loop>
    1. In a DTD, an element can be designated as occurring zero or one
    time, zero or more times, or one or more times. How do I write the
    simple transformation to accommodate these possibilities?
    2. In trying to accommodate the "zero or more times" case, I am trying
    to use the <tt:loop> instruction. It occurs several layers deep in the
    XML hierarchy, but at the top level of the ABAP table. The internal
    table has a structure defined in the ABAP program, not in the data
    dictionary. In the simple transformation, I used <tt:type> and
    <tt:node> to define the structure of the internal table and then
    tried to use <tt:loop ref="ROOT2" name="line"> around the subtree that
    can occur zero or more times. But every variation I try seems to get
    different errors. Can anyone supply a working example of this?
    3. Among the fields in the internal table, I've defined three
    one-character fields named TYPE_CSV, TYPE_XLS, and TYPE_PDF. In the
    XML file, I expect zero to three elements of the form
    <ExportType exporttype='csv' />
    <ExportType exporttype='xls' />
    <ExportType exporttype='pdf' />
    I want to set field TYPE_CSV = 'X' if I find an ExportType element
    with its exporttype attribute set to 'csv'. I want to set field
    TYPE_XLS = 'X' if I find an ExportType element with its exporttype
    attribute set to 'xls'. I want to set field TYPE_PDF = 'X' if I find
    an ExportType element with its exporttype attribute set to 'pdf'. How
    can I do that?
    4. For an element that has a value like
    <ErrorCode>123</ErrorCode>
    in the simple transformation, the sequence
    <ErrorCode>  <tt:value ref="ROOT1.CODE" />  </ErrorCode>
    seems to work just fine.
    I have other situations where the XML reads
    <IsNew value='true' />
    I wanted to write
    <IsNew>
            <tt:value ref="$line.IS_NEW"
            map="val(' ') = xml('false'), val('X') = xml('true')" />
           </IsNew>
    but I'm afraid that the <tt:value> fails to deal with the fact that in
    the XML file the value is being passed as the value of an attribute
    (named "value"), rather than the value of the element itself. How do
    you handle this?

    Try this code below:
    data  l_xml_table2  type table of xml_line with header line.
    W_filename - This is a Path.
      if w_filename(02) = '
        open dataset w_filename for output in binary mode.
        if sy-subrc = 0.
          l_xml_table2[] = l_xml_table[].
          loop at l_xml_table2.
            transfer l_xml_table2 to w_filename.
          endloop.
        endif.
        close dataset w_filename.
      else.
        call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
          exporting
            bin_filesize = l_xml_size
            filename     = w_filename

  • How to Import XML file into SAP B1

    Dear All,
    I have a scenario like,
    I am receiving a XML file from a 3rd party application for the daily Creation,Update of Item Master,BP Master, Marketing Documents. I want to import this file into SAP B1 through its approp objects. I understand DTW has limitation in its file types (Semicolo,Tab,Comma,ODBC). How do i do this ? Please guide me.
    Thanks,
    Thanga Raj K

    Hy folks,
    I´m frim Brasil and I've been studying the tool EFM (Eletronic File Manager) to learn more about it!
    There I saw that we can extract to XML "any" infomation from the database we want, mainly through the GEP.
    However, as I've seen, this Add-On can not import any XML file into SBO, unless for the BFP wich can be imported in conjunction with the BTHF Add-on.
    So I ask: how is it possible to import XML data into SBO database? Is it possible to be done through the EFM? or  it´s really necessary to write a code specifically to do that?
    Besides, I know that de B1iSN fit to this necessity... but when I tried to use it, by the custom "object" for BP, for example, there are some data wich the mapping conteined in this custom "process" that can not be imported... I tried to understand how to map those other fields not imported by the custom but this has been dificult to me as I am a implementation consultant focused in administrative process not on development...
    Could you please help me with this subject!
    Thanks a lot,
    Denis

  • How to retrieve data from xml file into obiee reports

    Hi all,
    I've got a situation here. A xml file is stored as blob in oracle database table. Now i need to retrieve data/info from that xml file into obiee reports. How am i supposed to proceed with this ?

    I will go for a table function:
    http://gerardnico.com/wiki/database/oracle/table_function
    In two words, you can create a function that behave as a table. Then you create a function to pick up your xml, you parse it and you send back the rows.
    I know that Oracle has also a library for XML files but I never use it until now.
