Mapping from xsd:date to ABAP dates (yyyy-mm-dd)

Hi there,
I've an automated activity that calls an ABAP web service in our SAP ERP.
In my BPM data object I've a date in format xsd:date which should be passed as web service parameter.
I've tried to use
(Data_Object/Requestor/FromDate) cast as date
but this causes an error when calling the web service.
If I put a fix value like "2011-03-17" it works.
How can I do the conversion?
Another general question:
From a practical point of view, isn't it better to call web services in the WebDynpro itself instead of creating an automated activity?
An advantage would be the direct response of the web service which then could be handled in the user interface.

Thank you!

Mapping from xsd to DB

Hi
just a small question
I would like to know if it's possible to
directly map on the DB the structure of a database model , departing from a schema defenition (.xsd).
In other words :
If there is a tool that can create tables, relationships, triggers , etc , from a schema defenition.

ABAP Data type to XI data type mapping

Hi,
I am creating a message type in XI corresponding to a ABAP structure. There are couple of data types on the ABAP side (for example: RAW, QUAN, CURR CUKY, UNIT, NUMC etc) which i have no idea on what it should be mapped to on the XI side(xsd:string, xsd:token, xsd:int etc).
Is there is any document on mapping from ABAP data type to XML data type ? if yes please send it across.([email protected])
if no doc available, if some body could let me know what these ABAP data type would map on the XI side it would great.
Best Regards,
Kiran

Hi Kiran,
just some more background information to the data types CURR, CUKY, QUAN, UNIT:
1) Each field of data type CURR must be assigned to a field of data type CUKY (the financial amount must be assigned to a currency) and each field of data type QUAN must be assigned to a field of data type UNIT (each quantity must have a dimension). If you want to know this assignment for your specific ABAP structure, you can find it using transaction SE11 with your ABAP structure and go to the tab Currency/Quantity fields. Here you find the information under Reference table and Ref. field.
2) The default number of decimals for a field of data type CURR is 2, but this can be overwritten by the assigned CUKY field. You can check the actual number of decimals for a specific currency with transaction OY04. Here are all currency list that do not have 2 decimals.
3) The default number of decimals for a field of data type QUAN is 3, but this can be overwritten by the assigned UNIT field. You can check the actual number of decimals for a specific unit with transaction CUNI. Click on Units of measurement (pick the correct dimension first), double click on your unit and you find the info in the field Decimal places.
4) Depending on the data you receive your conversions can get quite tricky. Lets take as an example a field of type CURR. If you find the value 1000 in there, this would convert to 10.00 USD if the assigned CUKY field contains the value USD (US dollar). But the same value ca represent 1000 JPY (Japanese Yen) if the assigned CUKY field contains the value JPY. What i try to say is that the value in the field of type CURR alone does not give you the actual amount, you have to know the value of the CUKY field as well. Similar for QUAN and UNIT.

Claus

Issue with xsd Data type mapping for collection of user defined data type

In the above wsdl the collection of fintObjInst if of type xs:anytype. From the wsdl, I do not see the xsd mapping for AccountIC which includes Name and Desc. Due to which, when invoking the web service from a different client like c#(by creating proxy business service), I am unable to set the parameters for AccountIC. I am using JAX-WS stack and WLS 10.3. I have already looked at blog http://weblogs.java.net/blog/kohlert/archive/2006/10/jaxws_and_type.html but unable to solve this issue. However, at run time using a tool like SoapUI, when this wsdl is imported, I am able to see all the params related to AccountIC class.
Can some one help me with this.
Thanks,
Sudha.

Did you try adding the the XmlSeeAlso annotation to the webservice
@XmlSeeAlso({<package.name>.AccountIC.class})
This will add the schema for the data type (AccountIC) to the WSDL.
Hope this helps.

Using ABAP DATA FLOW to pull data from APO tables

I am trying to use an ABAP Data flow to pull data from APO and receive error 150301. I can do a direct table pull and receive no error, but when I try to put it in an ABAP data data flow I get the issue. Any help would be great.

Hi
I know you "closed" this, however someone else might read it so I'll add that when you use an ABAP dataflow, logic can be pushed to ECC - table joins, filters, etc. (Which can be seen in the generated ABAP).

When reading from the file validate the date 'DD/MM/YYYY' format

Hi,
reading from the file ,validate the date format 'DD/MM/YYYY'.
Thanks & regards
venkata

I suppose that you are writing a program in some programming language, probably PL/SQL. So, you can use TO_DATE function and handle the exception when it occurs.
create or replace procedure tstdt
as
stdt varchar(10);
dt date;
begin
stdt := '20/10/2006';
dt := to_date(stdt);
dbms_output.put_line('date is correct
exception
when others then
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Date');
end;[],

Is CS6 capable of 'Data Mapping' from an excel based database?

I have CS6 and want to know if it is capable of data mapping from an excel based database.
Basically i am using inDesign to create new Organisational Charts for my company. i have 23 seperate documents created, all of which conatin; 1 image box and 2 text boxes per each employee in that particular department.
I want each document from inDesign to point at the database and pull in the correct details to each box within that document.
I am aware of the 'place' feature but all this does is allow to you to select a range of cells and dump that in the document randomly.
i have tried ringing adobe and they ponted me to here.
I am a man on the edge with this... someone please help. Even if its to say 'NO' inDesign does not support this feature.
Thanks in advance, Danny.

Well, without more information on your data, the layout in ID, and how you expect to connect them, as Mike has already said, it's pretty hard to tell you what out of the box capabilities ID has that will work, if any, or where to point you to other commercial add-on products if they exist, or even to suggest a scripted solution, though my current reaction is that you are looking at some sort of XML workflow, which is well outside my own comfort zone.
ID is a very complex program that has many more capabilities than what are "built-in" in the standard release versions. One of it's greatest features is the ability to expand what you can do through scripts or plugins. This forum is full of free advice, but very few participants are willing to to spend more than an hour designing a custom solution that will not be useful to anyone else unless they are compensated. The people who respond here are professionals, like you, who need to make a living. If I were paid for the time I spend here handing out free solutions and advice I wouldn't need my regular design business anymore.
If you feel a feature should be included in the general release at no additional cost, please ask Adobe to do so: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
You need to understand, though, that Adobe is a big corporation that budgets the time that developers can spend on new features, and most new things that are added are features that many users have asked for, and usually over the course of several versions (long document users are still waiting for improved footnotes, unchanged since they were introduced), so unless this is a "killer" new idea that will benefit thousands of users you are unlikely to see Adobe add it any time soon, if at all.

Issue in Creation of XML file from ABAP data

Iu2019m using the call transformation to convert ABAP data to XML file.
So please anybody can help how to define XML structure in transaction XSLT_TOOL.
And one more thing, here I need to put the condition to display the Header 3, Header 4, Header 5 values. If there is no record for a particular line item in header 3, 4 & 5, I donu2019t want to display full line items; this is only for Header 3, 4 & 5.
Please help me in this to get it resolved.

Hello,
you can use CALL TRANSFORMATION id, which will create a exact "print" of the ABAP data into the XML.
If you need to change the structure of XML, you can alter your ABAP structure to match the requirements.
Of course you can create your own XSLT but that is not that easy to describe and nobody will do that for you around here. If you would like to start with XSLT, you´d better start the search.

How to create an xml from xsd in abap

thanks in advance
With Regards

HI
GOOD
IT IS POSSIBLE IN ABAP
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple, very flexible text format derived from SGML (ISO 8879). Originally designed to meet the challenges of large-scale electronic publishing, XML is also playing an increasingly important role in the exchange of a wide variety of data on the Web and elsewhere.
XSD->
XML Schemas express shared vocabularies and allow machines to carry out rules made by people. They provide a means for defining the structure, content and semantics of XML documents. in more detail.
XDS->
XDS can process data images from CCD-, imaging-plate, and multiwire-detectors in a variety of formats. Detector specific Input file templates greatly simplify the use of XDS; they are provided as part of the documentation.
XDS runs under Unix or Linux on a single server or a grid of up to 99 machines of the same type managed by the MOSIX system; in addition, by using OpenMP, it can be executed in parallel on up to 32 processors at each node that share the same address space.

URGENT !!!! Problem with Date format MM/DD/YYYY in oracle database to BW

Hi
I am wondering if somebody can help me urgently.
I have oracle database where date is of the format MM/DD/YYYY and I am loading data into BW. DATE data type
Date in oracle database: 3/30/2007
First when I used InfoObject ZDATE (with 0DATE) reference (DATS data type) data load failed saying that
'Value '30-MAR-0 ' of characteristic 0DATE is not a number with 000008 spaces'
Then I created ZDATE InfoObject as CHAR Type (Length 10) with PDATE Conversion Routine.
when I created datasource using DB Connect and checked the contents using 'Display Table Contents' after creating data source the data field distorted as
AR/-0/30-M
After data load. when I checked PSA
The Date records look same as AR/-0/30-M
In cube the field appeared as 30-MAR-0 (last digit of year disappearing)
In BEx report also it looks like 'AR/-0/30-M'
Can somebody help me as quickly as possible.
What should I do if i want to still use DATS data type for ZDATE?
should I change date format in database if so to what?
If I should use CHAR type with PDATE or any other routine can somebody give me the routine to have the date in the report exactly as it appears in database?
I also tried changing date format in user profile...settings. But still its the same.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Snrella,
You can solve this by converting the date format from oracle to the SAP internal date format using an ABAP routine in the transfer rules.
Assuming the oracle data field name is ZODATE then here's the ABAP you can use in the transfer rules. Create an ABAP routine transfer rule from ZODATE to your ZDATE infoobject, and then put this ABAP code there. (this code assumes that the format of the date from oracle is MM/DD/YYYY).
concatenate tran_structure-/BIC/ZODATE+6(4) tran_structure-/BIC/ZODATE(2) tran_structure-/BIC/ZODATE+3(2) into result.
Hope this helps.

- <?xml version="1.0" ?> <!DOCTYPE xs:schema (View Source for full doctype...)> - <xs:schema targetNamespace="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" finalDefault="" blockDefault="" elementFormDefault="unqualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified"> - <xs:annotation> - <xs:documentation>
XML Schema instance namespace
See the XML Schema Recommendation for an introduction
<hr /> $Date: 2001/03/16 20:25:57 $
$Id: XMLSchema-instance.xsd,v 1.4 2001/03/16 20:25:57 ht Exp $ </xs:documentation> </xs:annotation> - <xs:annotation> - <xs:documentation> -
This schema should never be used as such: the XML Schema Recommendation forbids the declaration of attributes in this namespace
</xs:documentation> </xs:annotation> <xs:attribute name="nil" /> <xs:attribute name="type" /> <xs:attribute name="schemaLocation" /> <xs:attribute name="noNamespaceSchemaLocation" /> </xs:schema>
I will be extreamly thankful if anybody can help.
Thank you.

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="COMPANY_ID" type="C" length="10" />
<tt:node name="JOB_ID" type="C" length="20" />
<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
 filetype = 'BIN'
 changing
 data_tab = l_xml_table
 exceptions
 others = 24.
 if sy-subrc <> 0.
 message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
 with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
 endif.

How can i get the external Sql result return data to abap?

Dear All
         I have a problem to how to get the select result data return abap.
I used abap to run external SQL server. below is my code:
***in above ,abap has already connected external SQL.
Sql = u2018select * from user01u2019
      CALL METHOD OF rec 'Open'
        EXPORTING #1 = sql
        #2 = con
        #3 = '1'.
      IF NOT sy-subrc = 0.
        MESSAGE e000 WITH 'run external sql error!'.
      ENDIF.
***now ,below code how can I get the select result to abap code?
I know I can use native_sql such as u2018OPEN CUR1 FOR SELECT * FROM user01 AND FETCH NEXT CUR1 INTO :WAu2019.
    Thanks for all
Sun

Thanks.
it is okay now by myself.
con_str = 'Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Password=pwd;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=name;Initial Catalog=VTL_DEMO;Data Source=192.168.21.50'.
CREATE OBJECT o_conn 'ADODB.Connection'.
CREATE OBJECT o_rec 'ADODB.Recordset'.
SET PROPERTY OF o_conn 'Provider' = provider.
SET PROPERTY OF o_conn 'ConnectionString' = con_str.
CALL METHOD OF o_conn 'Open'.
sql_str = 'select * from userh'.
CALL METHOD OF o_conn 'Execute' = o_recordset
    EXPORTING
    #1 = sql_str.
   #2 = o_conn.
GET PROPERTY OF o_recordset 'EOF' = rs_eof.
REFRESH itab.
WHILE rs_eof NE 1.
    CALL METHOD OF o_recordset 'fields' = o_field
      EXPORTING
      #1 = 0.
    GET PROPERTY OF o_field 'Value' = itab-name.
    CALL METHOD OF o_recordset 'fields' = o_field
      EXPORTING
      #1 = 1.
    GET PROPERTY OF o_field 'Value' = itab-cid.
    APPEND itab.
    CALL METHOD OF o_recordset 'MoveNext'.
    GET PROPERTY OF o_recordset 'EOF' = rs_eof.
ENDWHILE.
