PeopleCode to "Save As" - convert an excel file to XML file

All,
Is there any way to convert an excel file to XML file via PeopleCode? I can manually "Save As" an excel file to be an XML file, but is there anyway of doing it via PeopleCode? I guess it would be a little possible via VBScript, but since by App server resides on a Unix box, that would not work.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Mani

The attached zip file contains several VI's to read and write directly to Excel using ActiveX. There are several example VI showing how to use everything. This set is saved in LabVIEW 6.0.2.
I suggest you unzip these to your user.lib directory so you'll be able to easily access them from the functions palette.
I have not actually used these, but others that have say they have worked well for them.
Good Luck

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

Converting Dom Document object into XML file removes the DTD

Hi All
My xml is dtd. I have one xml file. i changed the node value after that i want to create a xml file with the same name. I created new xml file but i am not seeing the old dtd in the new file. This process is done with the help of jaxp.
My code is given below
File fileInput = new File("input.xml");
          File fileOutput = new File("output.xml");
          DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
          factory.setExpandEntityReferences(false);
          DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
          Document document = builder.parse(fileInput);
          TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
          Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer();
transformer.setOutputProperty(javax.xml.transform.OutputKeys.INDENT, "true");
          transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "2");
          DOMSource source = new DOMSource(document);
          FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(fileOutput);
          StreamResult result = new StreamResult(fos);
          transformer.transform(source, result);
Thanks in advance

The Transformer API does not guarantee the preservation of that information. You may want to check the DOM L3 Load/Save package (http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/index.html). Alternatively, you may force things by setting the additional output properties 'doctype-public' and 'doctype-system'.

Is there any way to use the iTunes .itl file or .xml file to see what files I had previously to re-download songs?

I recently had to restore my computer and in the process of backing up my music library, half of my library from the letter 'm' onward was deleted.
I want to see if I could use the existing .itl file or .xml file that was automatically saved by iTunes in the iTunes folder previously (which I backed-up in my external drive) to view my past library.
I tried importing the library by going to File > Library > Import Playlist, but I got an error that said:
"Some of the songs in the "iTunes Music Library.xml" were not imported because they could not be found.
The .itl file was no help either in this case.
IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO?

How did you try to make use of the .itl file? Double-clicking on .itl files doesn't switch libraries but opens whatever is currently the default library. To switch between library files either press and hold down shift as you launch iTunes until prompted to choose or create a library, or swap out one library file with another as described in Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.
There is also a link there to tips on recovering media from your device or account history. You may also be able to undelete media from the drive if the space it occupied has not yet been reused.

Fixed length file to xml file

Hi,
Fixed length file to xml files.
i have to generate 2 xml files based on a field in the incoming file. structures of both xml files are same.
I want to know how many target data type ,target msg interfaces have to be created?
Thanks.

Ok got you. Best thing would be to use a simple OS command copy in your receiver communication channel. So do one mapping and generate one file and then use the OS command in receiver comm. channel after message processing then it should work for you.

Flat file to xml file

hello
I am having a scenario a flat file to XML file. in the comm. channel of the sender I made a content conversion to the file and I see in the SXMB MONI and it looks ok. the output file, is declared as a file and I recieve an empty xml file.
what am I missing?
why it doesnt go out through the mapping that I declared so I will get a valid XML with its data?
Kfir

Hi,
Please can you take the Sender side Payload from SXMB_MONI and try to test the mapping in Message Mapping ---> Test Tab.
See if you are getting the same results. Even check if you have properly map the Header nodes in Mapping.
Thanks

XML file 2 XML file

Hi all,
I have low experience with XI but I have created a scenario XML file to XML file (reference wiki.sdn.sap.com) where sender e receiver files are located into XI folders . The steps defined are :
product;
software component;
technical system (thirdy-part);
business system;
import sofware component into integration repository;
namespaces;
data type (sender/receiver);
message type;
message interface;
message mapping;
interface mapping;
configuration scenario into integration config.;
assign business system;
communication channel;
file adapter with source e destination directory (folder XI), file name e processing parameters;
receiver and interface determination
sender and receiver agreement.
When put the input file into sender folder I don't have output file and sxmb_moni is empty for XML message.
Thanks in advance.
Miki

Hi Maurizio,
you don't see anything entering inside your sxmb_monitoring: do you mean that the payload is empty or that you don't see any messages in the overview table?
If you don't see any messages, this means that in the message is not send from your adapter engine towards your integration engine.
Check wether:
1) your communication is set up properly and is active
2) your communication channel is functioning correctly via communication channel monitoring in the runtime workbench (goto the integration builder --> runtime workbench --> Component monitoring --> click on display --> click on adapter engine --> click on communication channel monitoring --> search for you communication channel and check for errors.
3) check your sender agreement
If you have an empty payload, check your payload in the first step of your message pipeline and check wether the payload has the expected layout.
Kind regards
Joris

403 Error Transmitting the message to endpoint for XML file to XML file

Friends,
This is my 4th day learning XI and getting below issue.
I'm trying to follow the steps to transfer XML file to XML file scenario and when I drop the sender XML file, it seems the file has been picked-up but it does not generate the output file.
I checked in RWB for the message and found below error:
2008-01-04 13:09:48 Error Transmitting the message to endpoint http://sappc:8000/sap/xi/engine?type=entry using connection AFW failed, due to: Received HTTP response code 403
I tried to access http://sappc:8000/sap/xi/engine?type=entry from new browser window and I get the same error "403".
I'm able to access http://sappc:8000 fine.
I would appreciate help on this.
Thanks in advance.

How can I convert an Excel file to XML file

The problem is I am given an Excel file and have been asked to convert it to an XML file using Java.Can any body highlight any clue regarding this? My thanks in advance.

Gotta use your own imagination.
I'd have a root tag <excel-spreadsheet>. Under that I'd have a <worksheet> tag for each worksheet. Under that I'd have a <row> tag for each row. Each <row> tag would have <column> tags, with "name" attribute, and the spreadsheet entry as the value.
The problem is that you can't really map everything that will go into a spreadsheet into this stream (e.g., graphs, stray cells, etc.) It maps well to tables, but that's it.
