Parse XML streams via ABAP program or class

Hi all,
because of a new requirement we would like to create characteristics from a XML file by using the following structure.
xmlns:gdt="http://sap.com/xi/SAPGlobal/Global" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
We do not use SAP XI but I would like to parse the XML stream from a file in order to have the information available in a ABAP program. For this reason I'm looking for a standard SAP ABAP program or class to read and parse such a XML file.
I would appreciate if somebody have more details on this topic.

Check this out.

How to extract data from BPC InfoCube via ABAP program?

Hi experts!!
I tried to extract data from a BPC InfoCube via ABAP program, but I did'n have succeed.
I used the function 'RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ' to extract data from standard InfoCubes such as '0COPC_C07' and it run OK! However, when I change the InfoCube name to '/CPMB/WAIX8NE' (BPC InfoCube), everything goes wrong...
Is there any difference between extracting data from BPC and standard InfoCubes?
Thank you all!

Send a mail via ABAP program

Hello Experts,
I want to send mail via ABAP program with the following requirements :
1. Recipient is OUTLOOK email -id
2. Sender address has to be an external email-id
3. Send mail as CC and BCC also to other email-id.
Is there any function module which can satisfy all the above requirements.
Regards,
Mansi.

hi,
this code will definately help you just go through it:
firstly exported the data to memory using the FM LIST_FROM_MEMORY.
CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
TABLES
listobject = t_listobject
EXCEPTIONS
not_found = 1
OTHERS = 2.
IF sy-subrc 0.
MESSAGE e000(su) WITH text-001.
ENDIF.
then i converted it into ASCII using LIST_TO_ASCI,
CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_TO_ASCI'
TABLES
listasci = t_xlstab
listobject = t_listobject
EXCEPTIONS
empty_list = 1
list_index_invalid = 2
OTHERS = 3.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
MESSAGE e003(yuksdbfzs).
ENDIF.
This gives the data in ASCII format separated by '|' and the header has '-', dashes. If you use this internal table directly without any proccesing in SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1, then you will not get a good excel sheet attachment. To overcome this limitation, i used cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline and cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab to add horizontal and vertical tabs to the internal table, replacing all occurences of '|' with
cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
Set the doc_type as 'XLS', create the body and header using the packing_list and pass the data to be downloaded to SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 as contents_bin.
This will create an excel attachment.
Sample code for formatting the data for the attachment in excel format.
u2022     Format the data for excel file download
LOOP AT t_xlstab INTO wa_xlstab .
DESCRIBE TABLE t_xlstab LINES lw_cnt.
CLEAR lw_sytabix.
lw_sytabix = sy-tabix.
u2022     If not new line then replace '|' by tabs
IF NOT wa_xlstab EQ cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '|' IN wa_xlstab
WITH cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
MODIFY t_xlstab FROM wa_xlstab .
CLEAR wa_xlstab.
wa_xlstab = cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline.
IF lw_cnt NE 0 .
lw_sytabix = lw_sytabix + 1.
u2022     Insert new line for the excel data
INSERT wa_xlstab INTO t_xlstab INDEX lw_sytabix.
lw_cnt = lw_cnt - 1.
ENDIF.
CLEAR wa_xlstab.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Sample code for creating attachment and sending mail:
FORM send_mail .
u2022     Define the attachment format
lw_doc_type = 'XLS'.
u2022     Create the document which is to be sent
lwa_doc_chng-obj_name = 'List'.

lwa_doc_chng-obj_langu = sy-langu.
lwa_doc_chng-sensitivty = 'F'.
ELSE.
lwa_doc_chng-doc_size = 0.

APPEND lt_packing_list.
u2022     Create the attachment (the list itself)

How to parse xml in sap abap

Hello,
Can anyone help me to know how to parse xml in sap abap.
I have a xml file which i want to parse and store it in internal table.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>##<data><name>menaka<name></data>
Regards,
Menaka.H.B

Hello,
For how to get the node name, you have to refer to this :
[https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/Upload%20XML%20file%20to%20internal%20table|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/Upload%20XML%20file%20to%20internal%20table]
Check the code after:
WHEN if_ixml_node=>co_node_element
It tells you how to get the node name.

Schedule Jobs with multiple steps via ABAP Program

Hi,
I need to schedule multiple programs via background jobs on a daily basis. Since all these jobs are to be run as a single job, the various programs have to be run as steps in a major job.
I am however not very clear on how this can be done via an ABAP program ( the idea of a program is that various parameters to be passed to each program in the step can be entered dynamically rather than via variants).
I am using the JOB_OPEN and JOB_CLOSE functions and submitting the programs with selection screen parameters dynamically passed to create a job. I need to do this for various programs as a job step (WITHOUT Variants being defined).
Can anyone suggest any ideas for this? I have tried out JOB_SUBMIT Function but am not very confident I know what exactly it is for as it asks for a variant.
Thanks very much,
Preet

Hi Preet,
just to be sure: you know, that variants can be dynamical, too?
It's quite usual to assign dynamical current date, but it's also possible to add / subtract value and even define own functionality.
Maybe it's easier to implement a dynamical selection and handle static jobs.
If you try to plan a job (online or with JOB_SUBMIT), you have to use variants - you can create (or change) them dynamical in beforehand. Only SE38, F8, F9 is creating a temporary variant, so that no saved variant is necessary.
But if you end up creating variants dynamical, you can change one existing variant, too. Then you can use a static job definition (with periodical starting rule).
So: have a look, if dynamic variants are enough, otherwise change variants per job.

Christian

<Name> Thiru </Name>
<Age> 24 </Age>
<City> chennai </Chennai>
</xml>
How do i read the data within the Name,Age, and City tags into variables in the ABAP Program?
Regards,
Thiru

if you decide to do in XSLT, I have a sample list here:
XML file like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<F>
<P1>
<t_1>value1</t_1>
<t_2>testvalue</t_2>
</P1>
<P2>
</P2>
</F>
XSLT file like this:
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:sapxsl="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl" version="1.0">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="F">
<asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">
<asx:values>
<DOCUMENT>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</DOCUMENT>
</asx:values>
</asx:abap>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="P1">
<ENTRY>
<T_1><xsl:value-of select="t_1"/></T_1>
<T_2><xsl:value-of select="t_2"/></T_2>
</ENTRY>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
ABAP program like this:
DATA: BEGIN OF wa_upload,
text(255) TYPE c,
END OF wa_upload,
itab_upload LIKE TABLE OF wa_upload,
BEGIN OF wa_document,
t_1 TYPE string,
t_2 TYPE string,
END OF wa_document,
itab_document LIKE TABLE OF wa_document.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
filename = 'XXXXX'
filetype = 'ASC'
TABLES
data_tab = itab_upload.
CALL TRANSFORMATION zrappel_xml_test
SOURCE XML itab_upload
RESULT document = itab_document.
You should pay attention to the bold words.

XML files from ABAP programs

Hi everyone!
Is there a way in ABAP to output XML files? Pls. send code/ function module if any.
From ABAP programs, we are sure that we can output TEXT files, but how about XML files?
The significance of this question is related
Currently we are using XI to interface SAP and AMS, this question for ABAP to produce XML file arose, if for example, the XI server is down and we have to still send data from one system to another. IDocs can also produce XML files, pls confirm. Earlier however, we have preferred XI rather than IDocs to do this. Anyway, any idea regarding this scenario will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and God bless!

Create a DDic sturcture via ABAP program

Hello,
is it possible to create a DDic structure via a ABAP program? I've got the components and component type of the new structure in a table.
I want to create a DDic structure with this information. Is there function module or a method, with this functionality?
Thanks for help!
Matthias

I need a DDic structure to use this in the exporting parameters of an remote-enabled function module. Thier isn't it posible to use an none typed parameter, because of the remote.
I want to create an admin-screen for an tool calls DocFinder. For this tool you need for every DocuSpace an extra structure to return the values.
We use this tool in an shared systemlandscape so its nessessary to use an remode-enabled function module.
In the admin-screen it should be able to create an new DocuSpace with its structures and other generatet coding.
But I've got no idea how to create an structure via programm.

Calling ITS Service via abap program

We have made an ITS Service (SAP GUI for HTML) for one of the R/3 programs (Customized).
If the URL is linked directly to the service, it shows correctly.
But if we call the service via transaction code as in: Call tcode Zabc..., it does not work.
How can we call the service directly from the abap program on the click of a button?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can do something like this:
CALL FUNCTION 'CALL_BROWSER'
         EXPORTING
           url                          = path
           new_window                   = 'X'
         EXCEPTIONS
           frontend_not_supported       = 1
           frontend_error               = 2
           prog_not_found               = 3
           no_batch                     = 4
           unspecified_error            = 5
           OTHERS                       = 6
where PATH variable is ITS service url:
    CONCATENATE 'http://server:port/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?transaction=xxxxxx&okcode=xxxx INTO path.
Hope this helps,

Schedule/Execute POWL Query in Background or via ABAP Program

Hi all,
I would like to know if there is any chance/possibilities to schedule/execute the POWL Query for example the Query ID
"SAPSSRM_R_CENTRALCONFIRM_01_01" Confirmations Pending in the background to output report.
Or perhaps there is anyway I can make use of the logic within the Query ID above in an ABAP program?
The main reason is that I need create a Confirmations Pending report and sent out to relevant SC Creator and the quickest way is to make use of the existing query of above.
Many thanks and regards,
Hon Leong

Hi Hon Leong,
please first check POWL - Web Dynpro ABAP - SCN Wiki to understand, how POWL works.
You need to find a Feeder Class of your query and execude GET_OBJECTS Method to get the result list.
For example you can check report POWL_WLOAD or function module POWL_QUERY_REFRESH.

I got a class CL_RSSH_HIERMAINTAIN_FRONT with method INSERT_NODES_HIERARCHY .
But the method is private and cannot be used in the ABAP call.
I also don't want a pop up which asks for the action on duplicate nodes.
Can anyone guide me a bit here ?
Any help would be appreciated.
