Read XML files from remote server

Post Author: TomDegetel
CA Forum: Data Integration
This question may look simple to you but I don't see directly how to do this.The idea is to read data from an XML file which is sent to a UNIX directory on a server.When the JobServer is running on my local PC I can configure a flow that reads the file from the local harddisk but if the JobServer is running on another server I don't know how to reach this file.How can I connect from the jobserver to a remote server in order to read an xml file and read its contents into a query ? Thanks, Tom

you have several options :
1) Make sure the directory is accessible to your jobserver via shares. This can even be done between Windows and UNIX using SAMBA or related software.
2) Use ftp to get the file from the remote location and ftp it to a local drive (DI had built-in options to do ftp)
3) In 11.7 we added the possibility to specify an URL for the XML file in stead of a file name. So if you can make the XML file available via a web server on the UNIX machine, this would be another way to access the file.

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.

Prathima

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.
Best regards

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..

Reading XML File from application server

Hi experts,
My aim is to read a XML file from application server and extract the relevant data from it and process further.
When I am trying to read a XML file from application server it is reading success fully but the problem is that its not reading the last root structure of XML file why is so happening can any body help me?
I am using the following code:
TYPES: BEGIN OF xml_line,
text(256) type x,
END OF xml_line.
DATA: e_file LIKE rlgrap-filename VALUE 'applcatin server path'
OPEN DATASET e_file FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
DO.
    READ DATASET e_file INTO wa_item1-text.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      APPEND wa_item1 TO gt_item1 .
      CLEAR wa_item1.
    ELSE.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
ENDIF.
CLOSE DATASET e_file.
after this i am passing this internal table to "cl_ixml" class to extract the data
but it returning the itab with required value except the last record.
The stream reading the file it self is i thought in complete thats why it is not converting the all values.
Please help me...
Thanks a ton in advance.

Hi,
1 Copy Report BCCIIXMLT1
2 (you can change the way of filling internal table xml_table if necessary)
3 you don't need the part between
*-- render the DOM back into an output stream/internal table
and
*-- print the whole DOM tree as a list...
Comment it out or simply delete it
4 Rename form print_node to your liking e.g. process_node
5 In your new form you need three extra variables:
data: attribs type ref to IF_IXML_NAMED_NODE_MAP,
      attrib_node type ref to IF_IXML_NODE,
      attrib_value type string.
6 After the lines:
when if_ixml_node=>co_node_element.
string = pNode->get_name( ).
Insert:
attribs = pNode->get_attributes( ).
clear attrib_value.
case string.
when ''. "put your XML tag name here
    attrib_node = attribs->get_named_item(name = '' ). "put your XML attribute name here
    attrib_value = attrib_node->get_value( ).

Read XML file from different server on JSP

Dear All,
I am a newbie to JSP with XML, now i want to read the "test.xml" from JSP.
I read successfully this "test.xml" file from my system and I got output, but I need to read the xml file from
different server like "http://www.domain.com/test.xml". I couldn't read such a type of file from different server.
Is it possible to read a xml file from different server?
If anybody have idea please let me know.

You might try:

HOw to delete files from remote server?

Hi,
I want to delete files from a directory on remote server.
I use the following command to delete on current server:
find $srcdir -mtime +90 -name "COR*.txt" -exec rm -f {} \;
Now, how can I delete files from remote server ?
Thanks!
Yogini

Some possible options:
1. There exists SSH implementation for Windows.
2. You can make a workaround. You can setup share for specific/wanted directory.
Then you can mount it on Linux machine and execute command localy and delete files "localy" in mounted directory.
3. You can setup FTP server on Windows machine and do that remotely via FTP commands.

Reading .txt file from remote using abap?

Hi,
I must read a .txt file from remote server automatically.
I have path and name of .txt file. Remote system asks username and password.
In abap is it possible to give username and password for reading .txt from remote server?
Remote server and sap server are not in same domain.
How can i do that?
Thanks.

Hi Cemil ,
You can try using the FM RZL_READ_FILE_REMOTE_SH.
This is an option i found , but i have really not tried it out .

Read xml filr from application server

Hi I want to read an XML file from application server. can anyone please give me the sample code?
Please its very urgent,
Thanks

Hello
The following sample report ZUS_SDN_BCCIIXMLT2 (modified from BCCIIXMLT2) shows how to upload an XML file from the application server.
If the structure of the XML is according to the structure of a DDIC structure then you can directly convert the XML into the DDIC record using the transformation ID (= identical) which is used to convert ABAP to XML and vice versa.
* BCCIIXMLT2 - sample program
* This sample program shows how to read an XML document from a file
* in the appserver's file system, parse the document into a DOM
* representation and display the content as a list.
* Additionally the DOM representation is rendered back into an XML
* stream and stored as an output XML file on the appserver machine.
* This sample program uses ABAP strings to represent the XML input
* and output streams. See BCCIIXMLT1 for using internal tables.

How to read .xls file from FTP server t oInternal table

Hi
am using the FTP_SERVER_TO_R3 to read xls file from FTP server to internal table
but the data i get in LT_TEXT is special characters.
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_SERVER_TO_R3'
EXPORTING
handle = hdl
fname = f_name "ProdDataFromCRM.xls.
* CHARACTER_MODE = 'X'
* IMPORTING
* BLOB_LENGTH =
TABLES
BLOB = lt_text
* TEXT = lt_text
EXCEPTIONS
TCPIP_ERROR = 1
COMMAND_ERROR = 2
DATA_ERROR = 3
OTHERS = 4
can any one help me out to get the exact data..
Really appreciate your quick response..
Thank You

Hi, if you really retrieve an excel file, you can not see the data in ABAP. You may see them in Excel. For this you may use
CALL METHOD document->open_document_from_table
of the interface i_oi_document_proxy for OLE objects. You can access the data with reference to the interface i_oi_spreadsheet.
Please check [Desktop Office Integration (BC-CI)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCIOFFI/BCCIOFFI.pdf] for details.
But, who knows, perhaps you want "And Now For Something Completely Different".
