Lookup into XML file in Lookup Transformation

Hi,
I am wondering if it is possible to do a lookup transformation where the source is an XML file, if so, what are the steps?
thanks in advance
paburgos

Hi paburgos,
If I understand correctly, you want to join two elements inside a XML file. If in this scenario, we can use Merge Join Transformation to achieve the goal.
For more detail steps, please refer to the reply post by me in the following thread:

If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.

Why we need to conver Context Node data into XML file----Export to Excel

Hi All,
Let me clarify my dought........today i have gone through the concept of "Exporting Context Data Using the Webdynpro Binary cache" in SAP Online Help.
From the SAP Online Help pdf document, i have found that, the context node data has been converted first in to XML file,after that file had been stored in the web dynpor binary cache...bla....bla.........
Here my qtn is why they had converted context node data into XML file. With out doing that can not we export context node data to excel file..?

Hi Sesshanna,
it is not neccessary to do that but xml has the advantage, that it can be easily transformed into every output format that might occur in later project stages.
If it's simply about blowing out some Excel, I suggest using an OSS library such as jexcelAPI or Jakarta POI and building the Excel how you need it.

Creating XML file Using Call Transformation

Hello Friends,
      I have searched before posting thread, couldnt find anything.
      I am creating an XML file using Call Transformation. My internal table has 3 date fields and some other fields. For some records I dont have values for the date fields. In that case my XML file is giving the date value as 0000-00-00 since I declared it as Date type. This value 0000-00-00 is not accepted by the middle ware as the valid date. I can not change it as String type as per the suggestion.
In that case I am advised to skip printing the date field tag if it doesnt have value.
     Is there any way to skip the date field if it is empty. Any Suggestions please ?.
Thanks
Lakshmi.

Hi,
I had exactly the same problem before. When you call a transformation there is an option called initial_components. According to SAP if you use initial_components = 'SUPRESS' the empty fields should not being generated on the XML.
Now, this didn't work for me and I have seen some people with the same problem. Here is how I solved this (maybe not the best way but it worked):
First: My fields are all CHAR in my table
Second: In the transformation, you can use conditional transformation to not display a tag if field is empty, here a piece of my transformation (I am using simple transformations):
   <tt:root name="ROOT"/>
     <tt:cond s-check="not-initial(ref('ROOT.L1_NM')) or not-initial(ref('ROOT.L2_NM'))">
          <TRNMTR_NM>
            <tt:cond s-check="not-initial(ref('ROOT.L1_NM'))">
              <l1_nm>
                <tt:value ref="ROOT.L1_NM"/>
              </l1_nm>
            </tt:cond>
            <tt:cond s-check="not-initial(ref('ROOT.L2_NM'))">
              <l2_nm>
                <tt:value ref="ROOT.L2_NM"/>
              </l2_nm>
            </tt:cond>
          </TRNMTR_NM>
        </tt:cond>
As you can see, I first check if the fields have values.
Hope it helps

Insert Encoding tag into xml file. ?xml version="1.0"?

I am using oracle 10g.
I am using dbms_xmlgen.getxml function to generate xml data for oracle tables. I use utl_file to write data back into xml file.
Oracle is generating the file in the following manner...
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<RSLT_ID>1</RSLT_ID>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
I want to change the following xml header to have encoding information in it as follows...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding = "AL32UTF8"?>
How do I achieve that?
Any suggestions?

I want to change the following xml header to have encoding informationIn 10g I think you could use a xmlroot hack:
SQL> select xmlroot(xmlelement(e, dummy), version '1.0" encoding="AL32UTF8') xml from dual
XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="AL32UTF8"?>
<E>X</E>
1 row selected.

Problems with creating XML file via Call Transformation

Hi,
When creating a XML file via Call transformation an extra character '#'is placed at the beginning of the file.
This problems occurs since the upgrade to ECC6.0 and the Unicode conversion.
When opening the XML file the following error message appears:
Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource 'file ....
Has anybody an idea why this extra character is placed at the beginning of the file. Has it something to do with the unicode conversion and how can we solve the problem?
thanks for your help
kind regards,
Maarten van IJzendoorn

Hello Marteen,
Can you please share the solution to this issue and let me know.
Our Issue:
1) We are executing a report which generates an XML file on FTP.
2) The FTP file is always in Error when executed thorugh JAPANESE login but not thorugh EN login.
3) The XML files generated have always an extra character in the end ( which can be space,#,$%^&, etc.) when this extra character is removed from XML file with opening it in NOTEPAD then XML works OK in JA login as well.
4) In the PROGRAM everything has been checked with respect to OPEN dataset statement , XML ports UNICODE etc.
5) THIS issue has been reported only after upgrading to ECC 6.0 from 4.6C.( in older version it works fine).
Various OPEN dataset statments are :
OPEN DATASET path_fil
FOR OUTPUT
Thanks to reply.

Anushree

you will require to write a module in your file adapter for the same.
ref: /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/07/04/read-excel-instead-of-xml-through-fileadapter as mentioned in the earlier post.
Else you can also use Conversion Agent to read the same.

Can i download whole WD Abap scenario into XML File ?

Hi,
Experts,
I want to download the WD( Web Dynpro ) Abap scenario into Xml file from one SAP server. by upload this xml file into another server(uploaded server) to create the WD abap scenario as it is in downloaded server. As like we download the report into xml using ' cl_gui_frontend_services ' class.
through Transporting the request into that upload server i can do that but the thing is there is not communication between these systems. for that i am searching in this way.
Thank you,
Shabeer ahmed

Hi Shabeer,
This feature is not currently in the standard system. However there is a beta version of a plugin for exporting and importing Web Dynpro ABAP components.You would have to use the SAPLink program (ZSAPLINK) to export and import objects. Please go through this link to download the necessary stuff.
[http://code.google.com/p/saplink/|http://code.google.com/p/saplink/]
For any problems while uploading these nuggets into SAP you can post your queries [here|www.saplink.org]. Also refer to Thomas Jung's comments in [here|How to install the SAPlink plugins;.

Outbound oracle data into xml file

Hi Odie,
Your previous inputs for xml inbound was working fine, in the similar way now I need outbound the oracle apps data into .xml file format. For that I've written one sample script like this. I thought of making use of the utl_file option in Oracle apps.
declare
l_log_handle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
l_log_name varchar2(50);
l_path_2 varchar2(40);
l_global_file varchar2(50);
l_time number:=1;
cursor cur1 is
select xmltype(cursor(select * from fnd_menus where rownum <101)) a from dual;
--select menu_id from fnd_menus where rownum<100;
begin
BEGIN
SELECT DECODE (INSTR (VALUE, ','),
0, VALUE,
SUBSTR (VALUE, 1, (INSTR (VALUE, ',', 1)) - 1)
INTO l_path_2
FROM v$parameter
WHERE NAME = 'utl_file_dir';
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Error while getting Unix Path ' || SQLERRM);
END;
l_log_name := 'XGBIZ_'||TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'YYMMDD')||l_time;
l_log_name := CONCAT(l_log_name,'.xml');
l_global_file := l_log_name;
l_log_handle := UTL_FILE.FOPEN(l_path_2,l_log_name,'W');
for cur2 in cur1 loop
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE(l_log_handle, cur2);
end loop;
utl_file.fclose_all;
EXCEPTION
WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_OPERATION THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Operation For '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_PATH THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Path For '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_MODE THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Mode For '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_FILEHANDLE THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid File Handle '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.WRITE_ERROR THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Write Error '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.READ_ERROR THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Read Error '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.INTERNAL_ERROR THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Internal Error');
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN OTHERS THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Other Error '||'SQL CODE: '||SQLCODE||' Messg: '||SQLERRM);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
end;
when running this script I am getting error
ERROR at line 30:
ORA-06550: line 30, column 2:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'PUT_LINE'
ORA-06550: line 30, column 2:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
if in the cursor declaration happen to use 'select menu_id from fnd_menus ' a plain record then it is successfully creating.
If tried again revert to actual select statement ' select xmltype(cursor(select * from fnd_menus where rownum <101)) a from dual'
then its erring out as above said.
Please give me your valuable inputs in this regard.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
There are multiple ways to generate XML documents from relational data.
Here are some :
-- SQL/XML functions : XMLElement, XMLAgg, XMLAttributes etc.
-- DBMS_XMLGEN package
select dbms_xmlgen.getXML('SELECT * FROM scott.emp')
from dual;-- XMLType constructor over a REF CURSOR (the one you chose)
select xmlserialize(document
         xmltype(
           cursor(
             select *
             from scott.emp
         as clob
from dual;-- From a DBUriType
select xmlserialize(document
         dburitype('/SCOTT/EMP').getXML()
         as clob
from dual;-- From XQuery using ora:view function
select xmlserialize(document
         xmlquery('<ROWSET>{ora:view("SCOTT","EMP")}</ROWSET>' returning content)
         as clob indent size = 1
from dual;If a column is NULL in the result set, those methods (except XMLElement) won't create the corresponding element.
There's an option available for the XQuery method, but only in version 11.2.
So if you want to output empty elements, you'll have to use DBMS_XMLGEN with setNullHandling method :
DECLARE
ctx   DBMS_XMLGEN.ctxHandle;
v_out CLOB;
rc    SYS_REFCURSOR;
BEGIN
OPEN rc FOR
SELECT *
FROM scott.emp
ctx := DBMS_XMLGEN.newContext(rc);
DBMS_XMLGEN.setNullHandling(ctx, DBMS_XMLGEN.EMPTY_TAG);
v_out := DBMS_XMLGEN.getXML(ctx);
DBMS_XMLGEN.closeContext(ctx);
CLOSE rc;
DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.clob2file(v_out, 'TEST_DIR', 'test_out.xml');
END;
I thought of making use of the utl_file option in Oracle apps.You could, but you might find DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.clob2file procedure more convenient for that (see above).
All you have to do is serializing the XML in a CLOB variable, and call the procedure.
WHERE NAME = 'utl_file_dir';The "utl_file_dir" init. parameter is deprecated since 10g, use directory objects instead.

Howto transform a Sales Order (idoc) into xml file and download it?

I need to tranform a Sales order into an xml file such that I could download the file onto my disk. I try to transform an IDOC.
I do the following from an example and I get an xml document on screen but I do get get any file downloaded:
DATA: document TYPE REF TO if_ixml_document.
document = g_ixml->create_document( ).
DATA: ostream TYPE REF TO if_ixml_ostream.
ostream = g_stream_factory->create_ostream_uri(
system_id = 'file://C:\test.xml' ).
DATA: renderer TYPE REF TO if_ixml_renderer, rc TYPE i.
renderer = g_ixml->create_renderer( ostream = ostream
document = document ).
rc = renderer->render( ).
document->render( ostream = ostream recursive = ' ').
Is there something else I should do? Is there another approach for transforming a sales order to an xml file.
The R/3 4.6 system is used.
Thank you
-eglese-

Hi Eglese,
Another option could be to use XML port configured for the IDOC and use the XML files generated be extracted from Web Dynpro using a file download UI element.
Thanks and Regards,
Sam Mathew
