Read xml file to table

Hi guys
I m trying to read a very big xml file to a table indicator in a labview
I had tried both read from xml.vi and read from spreadsheet.
Either of them gives me a lot of problem.
Can anyone of u help? I have also browse the example but in vain.
Can i have an example plss... very simple one...

Hi sean1985,
here is an example, how you can create an xml string and read from it. I don´t write the string to a file or read from it, but this should be no problem.
Hope it helps.

Please recommend if we have options to read xml file and insert data into table without a temporary table.

Reading XML file from application server and put into internal table-4.6C

Dear All,
Is there any way of reading XML file from application server to SAP? I am using 4.6C. Function module SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING function module is not available. Please suggest.
Thanks and regards,
Atanu

Hi Atanu!
Simply use the XSLT transformation 'ID'.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <ls_result> TYPE ANY.
CREATE DATA lref_data TYPE (your_structure).
ASSIGN lref_data->* TO <ls_result>.
CALL TRANSFORMATION id
SOURCE XML xmlstr
RESULT result = <ls_result>.
"xmlstr" contains your XML file. Just read it into it via standard I/O operations. "<ls_result>" will contain your DDIC formatted content.

FM to read XML files from Application server in ECC5.0

Hi All,
We need to pick up an XML file from Application server/FTP server. The requirement is to parse the XML file and process it to create material master. SAP provides standard function modules to read XML files.
Now we need to read the XML file contents of MM01 and upload into SAP Data Base through BAPI
I need to know about the Function modules to read XML files from Application Server and also about the FM's that will update the Date base tables with the data obtained form XML files.
Regards
Prathima

Reading XML file using BAPI I must use adapters .

Reading XML file using BAPI and then uploading that xml file data into SAP using BDC.
I cant take file on to my Application server I am getting the file dynamically from other file server and I need to use BAPis to read data from XML file.please tell me what should be my Import,Export and Tables parameterrs should be.
Thanks

Hi,
Import, export and table parameters for BAPI is required, without that BAPI will not able to collect the data from XML. What you need to do is write a Zprogram and collect the data, store that data in internal table and call the BAPI by passing required parameters.
Different Scanarios:
1) Before calling a BAPI write some other program which collects the data from XML and create a UNIX file. Try to get the data from UNIX FILE
2) If you see the XML tags, data will be in side that tags, try to get the data from XML tags and store that data in one SAP table. You can use the BAPI by fetching the data from table
3)Create a table and store the data in the table. Use the table in SAP to extract the data.
BAPI won't work without any parameters, you have to pass some parameters then the BAPI will return some values.
Hope i am clear.
Thanks&Regards,

Xml file to tables

Hello,
I am trying to insert a XML file into the tables. When I read the XSU documentation, I saw a command line utility java OracleXML.
In a book I read, it said before one uses java OracleXML commmand line utility, the XML file has to be converted to another XML file using XSLT for OracleXMLSave to recognize the XML file. This was because OracleXMLSave will know to insert the XML file into the tables only if the XML was generated by OracleXMLquery.
But in the Oracle XML documentation, it didn't explicitly say anything about converting using XSLT to do the loading of the XML file into the tables. But the examples in the site used only the XML file which was generated from the tables to load them into the table again.
Please clarify me on this point.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Rama

Using the Oracle XML DB Webdav are is one method as it acts like a file system, but essentially get's the documents directly into the database so they can be queried through the resouce_view.
Other methods involve reading the file as if it's a CLOB and then using XMLTYPE constructor to change that CLOB to an XMLTYPE which can then be stored as that datatype in the database or processed as you need.
The best place to look is over in the XML DB forum, which has it's own FAQ detailing various best practices for all sort of XML stuff, including reading XML files and shredding them into relational tables etc.

Reading XML Files from oracle 9i or in Oracle 10g

Hi all,
Can any body suggest how to write a stored procedure to read XML file content and insert into a table.
Thanking you in Advance

I know I am blasphemous, but ....
We had a similar requirement: one file, each line was a "simple" xml doc corresponding to one db table record. The keyword here is "simple". We looked at the xml stuff, but decided that the easiest, best runtime performance, most extensible, easiest to maintain was:
use (sed|awk|perl) to convert xml to a flat file of fields, and then load the file with SQL*Loader. After all, loading flat files with many records is a job for SQL*Loader.
caveat: the xml in question was very simple and the same for all records:
timestamp|<log><id>1</id><ns>ns1</ns><prod/><cmd>order</cmd><result>ok</result><time>1813></time></log>

Load and Read XML file size more than 4GB

Hi All
My environment is Oracle 10.2.0.4 on Solaris and I have processes to work with XML file as below detail by PL/SQL
1. I read XML file over HTTP port into XMLTYPE column in table.
2. I read value no.1 from table and extract to insert into another table
On test db, everything is work but I got below error when I use production XML file
 ORA-31186: Document contains too many nodes
Current XML size about 100MB but the procedure must support XML file size more than 4GB in the future.
Belows are some part of my code for your info.
1. Read XML by line into variable and insert into table
LOOP
UTL_HTTP.read_text(http_resp, v_resptext, 32767);
DBMS_LOB.writeappend (v_clob, LENGTH(v_resptext), v_resptext);
 END LOOP;
 INSERT INTO XMLTAB VALUES (XMLTYPE(v_clob));
2. Read cell value from XML column and extract to insert into another table
DECLARE
CURSOR c_xml IS
(SELECT trim(y.cvalue)
FROM XMLTAB xt,
XMLTable('/Table/Rows/Cells/Cell' PASSING xt.XMLDoc
COLUMNS
cvalue
VARCHAR(50)
PATH '/') y;
 BEGIN
OPEN c_xml;
FETCH c_xml INTO v_TempValue;
<Generate insert statement into another table>
EXIT WHEN c_xml%NOTFOUND;
CLOSE c_xml;
 END
And one more problem is performance issue when XML file is big, first step to load XML content to XMLTYPE column slowly.
Could you please suggest any solution to read large XML file and improve performance?
Thank you in advance.
Hiko

See Mark Drake's (Product Manager Oracle XMLDB, Oracle US) response in this old post: ORA-31167: 64k size limit for XML node
The "in a future release" reference, means that this boundary 64K / node issue, was lifted in 11g and onwards...
So first of all, if not only due to performance improvements, I would strongly suggest to upgrade to a database version which is supported by Oracle, see My Oracle Support... In short Oracle 10.2.x was in extended support up to summer 2013, if I am not mistaken and is currently not supported anymore...
If you are able to able to upgrade, please use the much, much more performing XMLType Securefile Binary XML storage option, instead of the XMLType (Basicfile) CLOB storage option.

Help needed badly Insert text data from xml files into tables

Hi all, I have asked to do insertion of text from a xml file into tables upon receiving using pro*c. i've done quite an amount of research on xml parser in c but there wasn't much information for mi to use for implementation...
Guys don't mind helping me to clarify few doubts of mine...
1. Where can i get the oracle xml parser libs? Is it included when i installed oracle 8i?
2. Is there any tutorials or help files for xml parser libs where i can read up?
I need the xml parser to recognise the tags, followed by recognising the text after the tags.
eg. xml format
<studentID> 0012 </studentID>
<student> john </student>
<studentID> 0013 </studentID>
<student> mary </student>
text willl be inserted into tables like this:
studentID | student
0012 | john
0013 | mary
by the way i'm using oracle 8i on HP-UX. Thanks in advance.

I can answer one of of your questions at least
1. Where can i get the oracle xml parser libs? Is it included when i installed oracle 8i?You need the XML XDK. You can use http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/xml/xdkhome.html as your starting point. I believe the 9i version works for 8i.
I have no pro*c experience so I can't offer any other suggestions regarding how to do this in pro*c.

Function module to read xml files from application server

Hi experts,
I need to read xml files from application server to sap. Is the any siutable function moldule for that?

Hi Cenosure,
Donno about FM which will upload data directly to SAP, I think you have to do some mapping for it so that it will suit the SAP format. Again it depends on your requirement..
Please elaborate more about your requirement.
Please have a look on below FM
TEXT_CONVERT_XML_TO_SAP
Also search on SCN there are many threads on the same topic available.
http://abapreports.blogspot.com/2008/09/upload-xml-file-from-application-server.html
This is the link which will give you the Code
http://www.geocities.com/rmtiwari/Resources/MySolutions/Dev/Codes/Report/Z_RMTIWARI_XML_TO_ABAP_46C.html
Use this XML file to Upload the same, this Program will work for your XML file also,
http://www.geocities.com/rmtiwari/Resources/MySolutions/Dev/Codes/Report/input_xml.xml
See the below thread also
Upload XML to internal table and vice versa in SAP 4.6C
Hope it will solve your problem..
