Simple Transformation for XML created by Excel

Hello,
Excel can produce XML files quite easily in this documented format:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa140062(office.10).aspx
(in excel: file --> save as and choose XML)
Does someone has an idea of how I can read this XML using a Simple Transformation in ABAP?
Example: if this is an excel sheet with 3 columns and 3 lines
¦----
¦
¦ PERNR          ¦ BEGDA            ¦ ANZHL ¦
¦----
¦
¦   12346          ¦  20.02.2009          ¦15                    ¦
¦----
¦
¦   2356           ¦  25.02.2009          ¦12                    ¦
¦----
¦
this is the XML
The goal would be to transform this XML into an internal table. Any idea is appreciated.

    Here..... <SKILL></SKILL>   <PROFICIENCY></PROFICIENCY>  can be more than 1 entry...
    For this I have created a simple transformation like below..
    I have used the tcode 'XSLT_TOOL '..
    In SE11 I have created a Table type 'ZCOMPETENCIES' which is having  a line type 'ZLANGS'.
    ZLANGS is a structure which has another structure called 'ZCOMPETENCY' and this 'ZCOMPETENCY' is having fields
    SKILL & PROFICIENCY.
    I have used the wizard button which u can find  'XSLT_TOOL '.. and provided the table type ZCOMPETENCIES'  and it has automatically created the following transformation...
    <?sap.transform simple?>

  • BI Admin Tool and XSLT transformation for XML data source - How it works ?

    Hello,
    There is a possibility to import data from XML data source using BI Admin Tool.
    In the import window we can point XSLT file. What is the purpose of that XSLT field?
    Why I am asking ?
    I thought it is smth like XSLT processor, but simply it doesnt work.
    What I did:
    - I pointed XML data source file
    - I pointed XSLT transformation file
    - Click OK, and still get the message that the XML file structure is not supported
    After that I transformed that XML file with some desktop XSLT processor using the same XSLT file, and I tried to connect that file directly using BI Admin tool.Then it works. So it means that the transformation is ok.
    So basically one question comes to my mind in that situation:
    What is the purpose of XSLT field in BI Admin Tool when it comes to XML data source ?
    (it doesnt look like XSLT processor)
    Greetings
    /Michal

    Hi Mariano
    Why you need to use XSLT for transforming XML file into ABAP table
    Code is a part of some ABAP report. Looks like it is reading a file from file system and updating table after transformation
    If you have requirement like you need to read XML file and then insert the data into a SAP table
    You can use
    File to RFC
    File to Proxy scenario using SAP PI.
    Please provide more inputs on requirement to help
    Thanks

  • Predefined transformations for drop/create index?

    Hi,
    I want to add pre/postmap transformations for dropping/recreating indexes in the target table, for performance reasons.
    I can't find any predefined transformations for this (such as WB_DISABLE/ENABLE_ALL_CONSTRAINTS for constraints). It seems I have to program this myself (dynamic PL/SQL for reuse with other tables seems the logical choice), but it seems such a dumb oversight - has Oracle really not supplied predefined transformations for this? It must be an extremely common need in ETL?
    Regards,
    Kai Quale
    University of Oslo

    On further thought, one needs more information than the table name to (re)create an index. (That's actually one of my pet peeves against Oracle - that you can't enable/disable indexes in the same way as constraints.)
    Offhand, the only solution I see is to store index metainformation in a separate table, write custom procedures for disabling FKs/dropping indexes and enabling FKs/creating indexes, using the metatable.
    It is a pretty common task in data warehousing - disable FK/drop index => run mapping => enable FK/create index. How do people do this in OWB?
    Regards,
    Kai

  • Using Simple Transformation for content extraction

    Hello,
    Does someone know a solution for a simple and fast transformation to extract (text) content from an arbitary xml document. Only the text-values between two xml elements are needed to perform a search.
    The corresponding behavior in XSL looks as follows (but lasts too long):
    <xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl" version="1.0">
      <xsl:output method="text"/>
      <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </xsl:template>
      <xsl:template match="text()">
         <xsl:value-of select="."/>
          <xsl:text> </xsl:text><!-- just for separation -->
      </xsl:template>
    </xsl:transform>
    The result could be a table with "strings" in each row or a concatenated string.
    If someone can provide an ABAP regular expression (or a function module) fullfilling the same task I would be happy to.
    Many thanks and regards
    Christian

  • Physical path for XML created of program RTXDART_PT

    Hi guys,
    where does the program RTXDART_PT save its XML file? What is the physical path location?
    Thank you!

    Specify the full path in file name box when executing it, example:
    /usr/sap/AAA/SYS/global/DART/PT.xml
    Much better than searching for the files......
    Good luck with DART files

  • Simple Transformation from Adobe Form XML document to Dictionary structures

    I have an XML document that I am receiving via email (the XML document is generated from an Adobe Interactive form). I would like to write a simple transformation that will map that XML document to a structure and internal table in my ABAP program. I am new to Simple Transformations and I am having trouble working out how to write a simple transformation for this type of XML document. I would prefer to write a custom transformation rather than using the identity transformation (ID). I would appreciate any help you can provide.
    Please refer to the below for an example of the XML file.
    This maps directly to 2 dictionary structures that exist within our system containing all of the same components. PIM_REQUEST_HDR has a corresponding SAP dictionary structure Y_REQUEST_HDR and PIM_REQUEST_ITEMS has a corresponding SAP dictionary structure Y_REQUEST_ITEMS.
    Can anyone help with some instructions or examples of how to create the simple transformation?

    This maps directly to 1 dictionary structure that exists within our system containing all of the same components. PIM_REQUEST has a corresponding SAP dictionary structure Y_REQUEST_HDR which is a deep structure and has within it a structure REQ_HDR and a table KEY_DETAILS.
    The corresponding simple transformation we have then used is as follws:
    [code]
    <?sap.transform simple?>
    <tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
      <tt:root name="root"/>
      <tt:template>
        <data>
          <PIM_REQUEST>
            <tt:copy ref="root"/>
          </PIM_REQUEST>
        </data>
      </tt:template>
    </tt:transform>
    [/code]
    Alternatively the following 2 options also work:
    Option 2:
    [code]
    <?sap.transform simple?>
    <tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
      <tt:root name="root"/>
      <tt:template>
        <data>
          <PIM_REQUEST>
            <REQ_HDR>
              <tt:copy ref="root.REQ_HDR"/>
            </REQ_HDR>
            <KEY_DETAILS>
              <tt:loop name="KEY_DETAILS" ref="root.KEY_DETAILS">

          </PIM_REQUEST>

      </tt:template>
    </tt:transform>
    [/code]
    Option 3:

    Your XML is strange, it looks like a mix of pdf form content (xfa) and identity transformation (asx).
    Could you explain more ?
    Anyway, I tried to find out the errors (not only cx_st_match_element, that was just a catch missing), it works with the following program. Here are the main issues I have found :
    - always catch exception class cx_st_error when you use simple transformations (it contains cx_st_match_element and all other simple transformation exceptions)
    - xml "asx:abap" and "asx:values" in your input XML are useless, they are only used by identity transformation ("ID"); you may keep them if you want, but I advise you to see why they are in the xml !
    - Use same case in your tags (if xml contains  in the transformation so that it corresponds to the input XML
    - I renamed all abap names with prefix ABAP_ so that to clearly differentiate xml tags and abap field names (so that it is more easy to understand, for every sdn reader; I hope it will help as I didn't find many threads in the forum).

  • Simple Transformation and RSS feed

    OK, I decided to clean up an old program and try it with a Simple Transformation. I created the Simple Transformation and when I "execute" and give it the location of a local copy of the RSS file it returns.
    XSLT Tester                                                                               
    Runtime Errors                                                                               
    Reason          : No valid XSLT program supplied
    So is this a problem with the ST or is the preview system perhaps missing something? If it's the ST I'll post it otherwise where should I be looking?

    I'm going to take a guess, but I'm thinking that the test/debug tool doesn't actually support Simple Transformations, just XSLTs.  I couldn't find documentation to support this, but when I looked at the coding of the test/debug application I find that it doesn't use the CALL TRANSFORMATION command - instead it uses the class CL_XSLT_PROCESSOR so that it can trap extra information.  In the notes of the program it even states that this is not the correct usage in normal programs and the class is only used here for extra debug information.  This class appears to be structured to only support full XSLT and not Simple Transformations.
    Although it is pretty easy just to code up your own little test.  The key is to include the extra exception handling to get the source position in the ST where the error occurred (very helpful when debugging).
    catch cx_st_error into st_err.
       s = st_err->get_text( ).
       st_err->get_st_source_position(
          importing
            prog_name = prog_name
            line = line ).

  • SetIgnoringElementContentWhitespace() for XML-Schema ?

    Hi,
    I've got a (maybe simple) question for xml-freaks...
    In the future I wanna work with xml-files. So, I've to use SAX and/or DOM.
    I've heard the method setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace() of the class DocumentBuilderFactory requieres the DTD.
    Do you know, if I also can use XML-Schema in order to use setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace() - or does this method really only supports DTD?
    Then maybe do you know a similar method like setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(), which supports XML-Schema?
    Bye
    Chris

    Seems to me that trying it out would be the easiest way to find out.
    If you don't have a setup where you can try it out, then you don't need to know the answer yet.

  • Create xml tag dynamically within simple transformation

    Hi all together,
    I'm faceing the following problem:
    There is a internal table provided, consisting of name/value-pairs. Something like
    ls_struc-name = 'NAME1'.
    ls_struc-value = 'XYZ'.
    append ls_struc to lt_struc
    ls_struc-name = 'CITY1'.
    ls_struc-value = 'Munich'.
    append ls_struc to lt_struc
    and so on.
    I have to create this XML (with simple transformation):
    <NAME1>XYZ</NAME1>
    <CITY1>Munich</CITY1>
    Everythings works fine so far (tables, values etc.), but I have problems with creating the XML-Tag, e.g <NAME1> from "$line.name" within the transformation. I don't have any information about the data structure (therefore "call transaction id" does not work).
    Any hint is useful!!!
    Best regards,
    Thomas

  • Simple Transformation - ABAP 2 XML

    Dear all,
    Finally I was able to transform an internal table to xml using ST. The question is: Can I create different structured XML-files using the same (structured) internal table. Or is there some kind of a 1:1 relationship (between an ITAB structure + XML structure)?
    1) Data declaration
    TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_curr,
           tcurr  TYPE tcurr_curr,
           gdatu  TYPE gdatu_inv,
           ukurs  TYPE ukurs_curr.
    TYPES: END OF ty_curr.
    DATA: gt_tcurr TYPE TABLE OF ty_curr.
    2) Data selection
    Select * into corresponding fields of table gt_tcurr from tcurr where...
    3) Transformation ABAP 2 XML
          CALL TRANSFORMATION z_tcurr
            SOURCE root = gt_tcurr
            RESULT XML    g_xml_string.
    <?sap.transform simple?>
    <tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">

                <tt:value ref="$line.gdatu"/>

            </tt:loop>
          </rates>

    so far so good... BUT; if I want to get another XML structure
    Example 1)  -> sorted by currency
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    - <rates>
      <currency>USD

      <rate>-1.1868</rate>
      </currency>
      </rates>
    Example 2) -> sored by date
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    - <rates>

       <currency>EUR</currency>
      <rate>-1.1868</rate>
      </rates>
    How can I achieve output example 1+2  using the same internal table as a source? Is this possible? I guess this can be solved within the transformation, right? Any help appreciated.
    Best regards
    Benno

    Thanks for all answers so far. Changing the sequence is not a "problem". What I want to achieve is to change hierarchy of the xml. I'll try to explain again with a simple example:
    ITAB (structure):
    name; birthday; ***; first name
    ITAB (content):
    Smith; 01.01.1970; M; Paul
    Smith; 01.01.1970; F; Stefanie
    Smith; 01.02.1980; F; Barbara
    White; 01.02.1980; M; Steve
    I want to pass the itab exactly the way it is (ok, sorting is allowed). Question: Can I achieve the following XML's using ST? I guess/hope this can be solved with variables/groups/condition statements within the transformation coding?
    Example xml- 1) Sorted/Grouped by Name/***
    <person>
                    <name>Smith
                                 <***>M    
                                       <birthday>01.01.1970</birthday><first name>Paul</first name>                            
                                 </***>
                                 <***>F 
                                       <birthday>01.01.1970</birthday><first name>Stefanie</first name>   
                                       <birthday>01.02.1980</birthday><first name>Barbara</first name>                                  
                                 </***>
                    </name>
                    <name>White
                                 <***>M    
                                       <birthday>01.02.1980</birthday><first name>Steve</first name>                            
                                 </***>
                    </name>
    </person>
    Exampe xml-2 ) Sorted/Grouped by Birthday (Names only)
    <person>
                    <birthday>01.01.1970
                                 <first name>Paul</first name>
                                 <first name>Stefanie</first name>

  • ABAP transformation to XML for sap chart engine with internal table

    Hello.
    I am new to the SAP chart engine, XML and transformations so please be patient with me from an ABAP-program I am trying to call a Z-transformation and attach an internal table with two columns. In the ST program I want to loop through the table and for each row insert the two values from the table in the XML.
    In an ABAP-program I have an internal table containing datacoordinates for a scattered chart.
    The table looks like this:
    DATA: BEGIN OF coordinate,
                x_value TYPE f,
                y_value TYPE f,
               END OF coordinate,
               polygon_data LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF coordinate with header line.
    As a prototype I just add a few coordinates like this:
    polygon_data-x_value = '700'.
        polygon_data-y_value = '8'.
        APPEND polygon_data.
        polygon_data-x_value = '1400'.
        polygon_data-y_value = '3'.
        APPEND polygon_data.
        polygon_data-x_value = '1400'.
        polygon_data-y_value = '10'.
        APPEND polygon_data.
        polygon_data-x_value = '700'.
        polygon_data-y_value = '10'.
        APPEND polygon_data.
        polygon_data-x_value = '700'.
        polygon_data-y_value = '3'.
        APPEND polygon_data.
    I have created a Z-transformation and I call it like this (I also have a separate transformation for all the customizing generated with SAP chart designer but that one works fine):
    DATA: data_xml TYPE xstring.
    CALL TRANSFORMATION ztest_ce_tables2xml
          SOURCE polygon_data = polygon_data
          RESULT XML data_xml.
    Since I am trying to create a scattered chart I need to insert an X and Y value for each coordinate.In the manual SAP Chart engine - XML format description it looks like this:
    <ChartData>
    <Series>
    <Point>
    <Value type="x">1</Value>
    <Value type="y">1</Value>
    </Point>
    <Point>
    <Value type="x">2</Value>
    <Value type="y">2</Value>
    </Point>
    My ST-program that I cannot get to work looks like below. How can I loop through my internal table and get the X and thy Y value for each row in my internal table?
    BR Tommy (Sweden)
    <?sap.transform simple?>
    <tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
    <tt:root name="POLYGON_DATA"/>
    <tt:template>
    <ChartData>
    <Series>
    <tt:loop ref=".POLYGON_DATA">
       <Point>
         <Value type="x"><tt:copy ref=".POLYGON_DATA.X_VALUE"/></Value>
         <Value type="y"><tt:copy ref=".POLYGON_DATA.Y_VALUE"/></Value>
       </Point>
       </tt:loop>
    </Series>
    </ChartData>
    </tt:template>
    </tt:transform>

    Hello again.
    I found the solution and would like to share it with the forum, maybe it could help someone.
    My first error was in the call transformation statement:
    CALL TRANSFORMATION ztest_ce_tables2xml
          SOURCE polygon_data = polygon_data [] <----
    Do not forget these
          RESULT XML data_xml.
    I also had an error in the ST program, it should look like this:
    <?sap.transform simple?>
    <tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
    <tt:root name="POLYGON_DATA"/>
    <tt:template>
    <ChartData>
    <Series>
    <tt:loop ref=".POLYGON_DATA">
       <Point>
         <Value type="x"><tt:value ref="$ref.X_VALUE"/></Value>
         <Value type="y"><tt:value ref="$ref.Y_VALUE"/></Value>
       </Point>
       </tt:loop>
    </Series>
    </ChartData>
    </tt:template>
    </tt:transform>
