Read XML content in ABAP

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement, where I need to Parse the XML file after reading it from application server. Based on the data, I need to add some Tags to XML data.
Can we achieve the solution in ABAP.
Request your expertise.
Thank you,
Amit

Hi Amit,
Yes, you can achieve this in SAP either by creating a DOM representation of the XML document, or by the parser firing events as logical elements are encountered in a run through an XML document.
Refer the following documents for more details.
DOM-based method - Parsing an XML document DOM-based - Application Development on AS ABAP - SAP Library
Event Based - Parsing an XML document event-based - Application Development on AS ABAP - SAP Library
Refer this document for sample code - Parse an xml file and insert values in ABAP - ABAP Development - SCN Wiki

I am not able to get a clue out of that, can Get Durairaj Athavan Raja in to loop for sorting this out.
I made changes to my transformation program , but still not getting the output of the components inside the
<SKUDefinition> , but when i debug the transformation i can able to see the output values for those components but when i get the values in the result table im not getting values of those components.

Reading WebDAV Content from ABAP

Hello,
I like to read WebDAV Content from SAP NetWeaver Portal KM with ABAP.
For writing Content with WebDAV I found this post:
A small working example of how to use the Abap webdav client to write files
With Method GET_CONTENT from CL_SWDCL_NAMESPACE_CLIENT I can read single files, but what I need is a list with files and folders for a given path.
I also tried to use the Interface IF_SWDCL_BASIC_SEARCH_CLIENT, but I only get HTML-Errorcodes 400 or 422 since I don't know which parameters I need.
Maybe there is someone here who can help me to solve this problem.
Thank you.

Hello,
I face the same problem, did you already find a solution you can share?
Thanks in advance
Stefan

Reading XML Data from ABAP Program?

Hi,
How do I read XML Data from an ABAP Program? For example if I have the below basic XML Code-
<xml>
<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>
<<b>DOCUMENT</b>>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</<b>DOCUMENT</b>>
</asx:values>
</asx:abap>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="P1">
<ENTRY>
<<b>T_1</b>><xsl:value-of select="t_1"/></T_1>
<<b>T_2</b>><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 <b>document</b> = itab_document.
You should pay attention to the bold words.
hope it will be helpful

Read XML file to ABAP

Hi All
I need to read the XML file directly and do the further processing.
Please let me know, if anybody have worked on the same
Regards
Madhan Doraikannan

Hi, an additional question to you.
Which version server you run your application on?
I want to know this because as I know there is two way to read XML to ABAP. And a way in XLST is only be supported by 4.7(6.2) or above.
And a classical way is though DOM by iXML interface.(you can find some resource in help.sap.com, just search word 'ixml')
Hope it will be helpful.

How to read XML content from IPortalComponentRequest and parse them

Hi ,
I have a portal application.The application has 2 components(Comp1,comp2).
Comp1 is JspDynpage and Comp2 is AbstractPortalComponent.
Comp1- has a iframe element which point to the external url and has a parameter return_url.
retrun_url has a value as url to Comp2(http://ibm0343:50000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/NewUrlProj.NewUrlComp)
When an event occurs in the external site,i suppose to receive XML content in return_url(ie Comp2),how can i check using the request if the received content is XML and how do i parse them.
I have already seen blogs from Prakash singh in which it refers a xml fixed location in webserver.

Hi Detlev,
i am reposting this once again as the previous
reply didnt align good.
Thanks for your reply.The scenario is that
My portal application has to communicate with external GIS(Graphical information system)
service provider client application.
They say that i have to use iframe in my portal application.
Here is the snipet of the iframe tags.
<iframe
id="Nedbrowser"
name="Nedbrowser"
width="100%"
height="100%"
frameborder="no"
marginheight="0"
marginwidth="0"
scrolling="no"
style="position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:800; height:400; z-index:100; visibility:visible"
src="http://nbg.nedg.nl/nbgint/NBG_INT_main.asp?action=CHART&datasource=NBGMV&product=INTERNET&size_x=300&size_y=300&result_frame=Results&
result_url=http://ibm0343:50000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/NewUrlProj.NewUrlComp&
default_centre_x=256000&default_centre_y=471000&default_width=0.5">
</iframe>
<iframe
id="Results"
name="Results"
width="100%"
height="100%"
frameborder="no"
marginheight="0"
marginwidth="0"
scrolling="no"
style="position:absolute; top:400; left:0; width:800; height:200; z-index:100; visibility:visible"
src="about:blank">
</iframe>
When my portal application is started, comes the GIS map in the iframe with in my portal application.
When the user clicks in the area of the map,Gis application returns xml data to the return_url.
The reurn_url is my PortalAbstractComponent in which i have to parse the xml and use it for further processing in R3 system.

Reading InfoCube contents in ABAP

Dear,
I'm reading the contents of an InfoCube using FM RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ. This works fine, characteristics & keyfigures are coming through, only when I want the currency keys and units, the returned itab (E_T_DATA) contains additional records in stead of the currencies and units filled in the corresponding entries. Probably beacuse units are in a separate dimension. Does anyone know how I can populate the currency keys & units in the same records as where the keyfigures are stored?
Thanx in advance for your help!

Marco

Hi Lakshman,
1.Files in application server are called 'Sequential files'. they are also called as 'Dataset'.
2.To handle sequential file we can follow the below said procedures.
   a. To open sequentioal file:
          OPEN DATASET <FILENAME> FOR { OUTPUT/INPUT/APPENDING}
          IN {TEXT MODE/BINARY MODE}
   b. To process ( reading/writing):
       TRANSFER <FIELD> TO <FILE NAME>,
       READ DATASET <FILENAME> INTO <FIELD>.
c. To close:
        CLOSE DATASET <FILENAME>
3. To see the application files tcode: AL11
4. Download the files from application server to presentation server : CG3Y
5. Presentation server to application server : CG3Z

Reading XMl file from ABAP

Hi friends,
I am working in SAP 4.6c. Please help me in the following scenario.
I have to read the xml whixjh in the application server.
I have to Make sure each XML only contains 1 IDOC. If 10 idocs are pushed out , there should be 10 XML messages. 1 idoc per XML.
So if the FM receives a message that contains 10 idocs, the routine just needs to split the XML into 10 separate XML's using YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_IDOCNUMBER.XML as the new of each XML.
Convert the XML into UTF-8 compliant
above is my requirement.
Can you guide me how to read a XMl file and findout how many idocs are present in that...
Please guide me...
Thanks in advance,
Sudha

Hi Sudha,

The problem is that this FM is used to process IDOC to change its content. i supose that the IDOC is enqued when processed by this FM.
Do you know any other way to access IDOC data content in READ mode
Thank you in advance
Regards

Hi,
You can use the following FM.
IDOC_READ_COMPLETELY (Read IDoc Data)
IDOC_TYPE_COMPLETE_READ (Read IDoc Structure and Segments)
or
read the idoc data from database table edid4 and edids (idoc status))and edidc (idoc control data).

Problem in reading XML contents

Hi all,
I have a problem in extracting a portion of the XML file.
the XML is
<x>
     <y1></y1>
     <y2>
          <value1>One</value1>
          <value2>Two</value2>
          <value3>Three</value3>     </y2>
     <y3></y3>
</x>the code i have written is
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Node;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;
public class DOMParserDemo
    public static void main(String s[]){
        try{
            DocumentBuilder docBuilder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
            Document document = docBuilder.parse("doc.xml");
            NodeList nodeList = document.getElementsByTagName("y2");
            Node node = nodeList.item(0);
            NodeList nList = node.getChildNodes();
            int len = nList.getLength();
            for(int i=0; i<len; i++){
                System.out.println(nList.item(i).getNodeName());
        }catch(Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
} I got the result as.
#text
value1
#text
value2
#text
value3
#text
where i expect the value to be prinited in the place of #text
can any one please help me to display the content correctly.
thanks in advance
subra

This gets the element's contents - using concat from the other thread - you just need to navigate down the tree to the right depth:      NodeList nodeList = document.getElementsByTagName("y2");
      // for every y2 element
      for (int index1 = 0, length1 = nodeList.getLength(); index1 < length1; index1++) {
        final Element y2 = (Element)nodeList.item(index1);
        final NodeList y2Children = y2.getChildNodes();
        // for every child of a y2 element
        for (int index2 = 0, length2 = y2Children.getLength(); index2 < length2; index2++) {
          final Node child = y2Children.item(index2);
          // if that child node is an element node
          if (child.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
            Element element = (Element)child;
            // print it's name, and the concatenation of any text nodes nested in it
            System.out.println(concat(element.getChildNodes(),
                                      new StringBuffer(element.getNodeName()).append(" = ")));
      }Pete

Read message content in ABAP reporting

Hi,
We need to read the message payload content for reporting purposes. I suppose this data is contained in tables SXMSCLUP and SXMSCLUR. (field CLUSTD)
The problem is that the content is in LRAW type.
Do you know how to convert this type to get a comprehensive content?
Thanks,
Laurent.

Hi,
Please use the function module SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING to convert this data.
I have never tried it but probably this could help you out. Go through below discussion
Tables for XI messages
From http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cf/21f2e5446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm:
RAW: Uninterpreted byte string. Fields of type RAW may have only a maximum length of 255 in tables. If longer raw fields are required in tables, you should select data type LRAW.
There are some Java Classes for that..
Just look into this..
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/codec/apidocs/org/apache/commons/codec/binary/BinaryCodec.html
http://www.stanford.edu/group/coursework/docsTech/oracle/oracle/sql/RAW.html
OR Try defining the message element type as xsd:base64Binary
thanks
Swarup

Hi,
If you want to upload the XML file and you have the ABAP proxy generated,then
you could use the sproxy transaction and select the namespace and interface for which you want to execute the XML file.
