Step by step creating XSLT Mapping

Hi ,
Will any one help me how to create XSLT Mapping, and where to create the program. Please help me with an example.
Regards,
Amruth

Hi
I do not know much about Xi. I tried to include a link to a site which provided an example but the forum guidelines would not allow for it to be included. If you search Google for XSLT mapping and SAP there is a link to SAPtechnical which provides an example.

XSLT Mapping for creating Excel files

Hi ,
I am following the blog /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/10/xi-generating-excel-files-without-the-java-nor-the-conversion-agent-not-possible by Michal regarding conversion of Flat files to Excel file format.
My input xml format is
         <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
         <FILE>
              <Record>
     <Name>Navin</Name>
                     <EmpID>123456</EmpID>
                     <Location>Bangalore</Location>
              </Record>
             <Record>
     <Name>Ravi</Name>
                     <EmpID>789456</EmpID>
                     <Location>Hyderabad</Location>
              </Record>
         </FILE>
i need to convert this file into an Excel format with each record in single rows with Column Header names as Name,EmpID,Location.
Could you please suggest how the XLST mapping should be done for this as i am very new to XSLT mapping concept.
Please suggest how we can attain the target structure(datatype) and steps to do this XSLT mapping.
Note:- We are not doing Adapter module for this conversion.
Thanks,
Navin

> i need to convert this file into an Excel format with each record in single rows with Column Header names as Name,EmpID,Location.
This can be done with file content convertion. Use delimiter ; for excel

If you do not understand XSLT, you you want to maintain your development, in case if an error?

XSLT Mapping :-- End to End Scenario

Can any one provide XSLT Mapping End to End scenario with screen shots?

HI
XSLT Mapping
XSLT stands for EXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations. It is an XML based language for transforming XML documents into any other formats suitable for browser to display, on the basis of set of well-defined rules.
Using XSLT mapping in a ccBPM scenario
File to Multiple IDocs (XSLT Mapping)
Steps required for developing XSLT Mapping
u2022 Create a source data type and a target data type
u2022 Create Message types for the source and target data types.
u2022 Create Message Interfaces includes Inbound Message interface and Outbound Message interface.
u2022 XSLT Mapping does not require creation of Message mapping, so donu2019t create any Message mapping.
u2022 Create an .XSL file which converts source data type into target data type.
u2022 Zip that .xsl file and import it into Integration Repository under Imported Archives.
u2022 In Interface Mapping choose mapping program as XSL and specify this zip program. (Through search help you will get XSL Mapping programs that you imported under Imported Archives, select your corresponding XSL Program)
u2022 Test this mapping program by navigating to Test tab.
By having look at above steps you can easily find out that this mapping is no where different from other mapping programs, here the challenging lies in creating an XSLT file. If you spend couple of minutes in studying XPATH tutorial you would be in ideal position to create an XSL Transformation (.xsl extension).
If you still find difficulties in generating XSL Transformation, then you can make use of a tool u201CAltova MapForceu201D which will create XSL file for you.
Steps for creating XSL file using this tool:
1. Open the Alto MapForce, import the source .xml and .xsd file in it
2. Similarly import the target .xml and .xsd in MapForce.
3. These two data files should match with source and target data types in Integration Repository.
4. Complete the graphical mapping using extensive list of XSLT functions available there.
5. Save the mapping file.
6. Click the XSLT tab. You will have the entire xslt logic there.
7. Copy that content and save it as .xsl file.
8. Zip above .xsl file and import the same into IR under Imported Archives.

What are the tools for doing xslt mapping.

Hi All,
I am doing a a scenario with xslt mapping. Can anybody give be step by step procedure for doing xslt mapping.

Hi Ankur ,
U can use Altova XMLSpy for XSLT Mapping.
See the below links
XSLT Mapping
/people/prasadbabu.nemalikanti3/blog/2006/03/30/xpath-functions-in-xslt-mapping
/people/sreekanth.babu2/blog/2005/01/05/design-time-value-mappings-in-xslt

XSLT Mapping with java enhancement
/people/pooja.pandey/blog/2005/06/27/xslt-mapping-with-java-enhancement-for-beginners
Step by Step procedure:
for doing xslt mapping you need to create a .xlst file containing the xslt mapping of source and target data.
U can use Altova XMLSpy for creating .xslt mapping.
Following following steps for executing this mapping.
1. Create Source Data and Target Data Type in IR.
2. Take xml representation of source data and open it into Alto XMLSpy.
3. Create .xsd file for above source xml data.
4. Repeat above two procedure for Target Data.
Now Creating .xslt file you need to Use Alto MapForce.
Steps will be:
1. Open the Alto MapForce. Import the source .xml and .xsd file in it.
2. Similarly import the target .xml and .xsd in the MapForce.
3. You will have both source and target data available in MapForce in similar fashion as you have in IR.
4. Do the graphical mapping using extensive list of functions available there.
5. Save the mapping file.
6. Click the XSLT Tab . You will have the entire .xslt logic there.
6. Copy the above content and save it as .xslt file.
7. Create a jar file for the above .xslt file.
8. Go to IR , Import the .jar file into 'Imported Archive'
7. In Message Mapping , Choose XSLT from drop down box of Message program.
8. Import the jar containing the .xslt file.
9. Test the mapping

Is it possible to replace XSLT mapping in place of Graphical mapping

Is it possible to do XSLT mapping in place of Graphical mapping, in any normal scenario?
Means the fuctionality we do by using Graphical mapping(like the operations by using node functions etc...) could possible to do with XSLT Mapping?

HI
yes it is possible to replace the graphical mapping with the XSLT mapping.
But using XSLTs degrade the performance of the interface and moreover they are not easily maintainable.

What is XSLT mapping ? where it can be carrid out in PI?

Hi all,
What is XSLT mapping ?
Where it can be carrid out in PI?
How it is useful in excel to RFC scenario ?
Can some one help on this please?
Regards
Venkat

Hi
XSLT is one type of mapping that Xi supports. XSLT mapping also do have certain advantages like if you need a formatted output like HTML in XSLT it would be easy to implement... XSLT is a W3C standard so if also works in any other integration s/w other than XI so it is portable.
Advantage
the changes to XSD's loses all mappings with graphical mappings but with XSLT's you just add the field changed or added, instead of starting over

XSLT Mapping - Configuration error

Hi there,
I have loaded an XSLT mapping that references 2 other mapping templates (in separate files). When I test the main mapping (in the Interface Mapping test tool) I get the following error:
Transformer configuration exception occurred when loading XSLT POSbankingPacketToWPUFIB.xsl (http://ournamespace, 36cb0f00-1a9b-11d8-96af-e1600a114c15, -1)
The trace in the tool showed the following:
Creating XSLT mapping POSbankingPacketToWPUFIB
URIResolver called with href = EDI_DC40.xsl and base = POSbankingPacketToWPUFIB.xsl
Source resolved. System id = EDI_DC40.xsl
URIResolver called with href = WPUFIB.WPUFIB01.xsl and base = POSbankingPacketToWPUFIB.xsl
Source resolved. System id = WPUFIB.WPUFIB01.xsl
Any ideas on how to resolve this problem would be appreciated. Info below may also be helpful:
- I have tested the XSL mapping in xmlSpy and it produces the required result but in the IR the error above occur. - I am using <xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" .... > in my definition
- I am calling templates from the POSbankingPacketToWPUFIB.xsl that exist in both EDI_DC40.xsl and WPUFIB.WPUFIB01.xsl
- I am using variables, template parameters and <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"> in the referenced xsl stylesheets.
Regards
Christiaan

Hi there,
Thank you for your answer. All of those things were okay.
The problem was related to XPath 2.0 syntax which does not seem to be supported by XI. The statement in question was:
<xsl:for-each select="POSbankingPacket/DetailGroup[GroupType ne 'HD']">
I have now switched to XSLT 1.1 and will hopefully find a adequate replacement statement.
Thank you,
Christiaan

Increment counter in XSLT mapping

Hi Experts,
I am creating xslt mapping by using mapforce tool. I am trying to get increment counter variable in xslt mapping. can you please tell me what would be the code for getting sequence number.
Thanks for your help.
Thanks,
Hari

yes, there is a global variable concept in XI which u can use for your Sequence Number concept.
If you are on SP14 and above, just take a lookat this blog and the GLOBAL Variables Section
XI: New features in SP14

Hi,
Can any one post me some good Documents on XSLT mapping?
With kind regards,

Hi,
Each mapping has its own adavantages and disadvantages. XSLT is one type of mapping that Xi supports. XSLT mapping also do have certain advantages like if you need a formatted output like HTML in XSLT it would be easy to implement... XSLT is a W3C standard so if also works in any other integration s/w other than XI so it is portable
prefer XSLT Mappings over Graphical mappings, since it's easier to use. One other big advantage of using XSLT mapping not mention, atleast I think, is that changes to XSD's loses all mappings with graphical mappings but with XSLT's you just add the field changed or added, instead of starting over(which you will have to do if you re-import your XSD)...
XSLT is made for mapping XML to HTML or XML to XML. In the XI environment there are different mappings options availiable e.g: graphical (message) mapping, XSLT, Java , ABAP.
XSLT is, compared to the other techniques, easy to learn and good to enhance. It has a worse performance than the other techniques.
Usually it is the decision of the developer which mapping to choose looking at the different aspects of the requirement like message size, complexity of mapping and so on.

XSLT mapping - namespace problem?

Hello,
I am trying to proces a message with the following format:
<XMLMESSAGE xsi:nonamespaceSchemalocation='schema.xsd' >
   <ORDER>
     <HEADER>
     </HEADER>
     <ITEM>
     </ITEM
</ORDER>
<XMLMESSAGE>
the mapping (XSLT or message mapping) throws an exception. During runtime or test, this is the same.
The problem occurs, I think, because of the nonamespace atriibute. If a change or remove the value, the mapping is fine.
Does anybody know if I should save the file mentioned in the attribute somewhere? Or is there a workaround for this problem?
thnx, Paul

Extracting more information from XI XSLT mapping failure

Hello
I am getting to grips with XI. When developing XSLT mappings I first run them on Stylus or XMLSpy, ensure they work, and then deploy them to XI.
Unfortunately they sometimes fail to work in XI, and the amount of information retrieved about the failure is very small.
I thought of a method to get more infomation in situations like this. I could write a Java method that sends messages to the XI console. This would involve seeing the javadoc API for GlobalContainer, Container and AbstractTrace. I would also need to have these objects in my classpath in order to compile the method. Then I could use the method in the XSL.
There are two small drawbacks to this plan: I cannot find the Javadoc or the Jar file holding the classes.
Perhaps one of you readers could either tell me where these things are, or suggest a better method of solving problems like this.
In either case I look forward to receiving a reply.
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion,
completely forgot about the simpler <xsl:message/> command. I tried this, and it worked fine in Stylus.....but not in XI.
I think the problem s when the file is being loaded. An alert box pops up. It says
"Transformer configuration exception occurred when loading XSLT GDS_to_DP.xsl (http://sap.com/xi/GDSConsole, 155fc320-f69f-11d8-97f7-c0140a114c15, -1)"
and the trace window says this
"10:00:13 Start of test
Creating XSLT mapping GDS_to_DP
URIResolver called with href = GDS_DP_Common.xsl and base = GDS_to_DP.xsl
Source resolved. System id = GDS_DP_Common.xsl
10:00:14 End of test"
It seems obvious (from deduction) that the problem lies in GDS_DP_Common.xsl. XI will not give me any information precisely where this occurs
Thanks for you earlier answer Alessandro

Xi xslt mapping

1.where do I write the xsl mapping?
2.Do I need to import the xsd and namespaces for applying xsl onto the xml files(outbound xml and Inbound xml) in these IDEs?
3.How to test whether applied xsl mapping on the Outbound xml data is mapped to Inbound or receiving xml file?
4.how should I use this xslt developed outside XI and use it in XI?
1.You can use any available XML transformation IDEs like Xml Spy or Stylus studio.
2. No. There is no need to import neither these xsd nor the necessity to create namespaces. You just create Outbound xml file with same structure as in xi and apply the XSL to that xml file.
3.Here testing outside XI means just transforming the outbound xml data into inbound xml data with whatever elements you want by applying the XSL.
when you import this xsl file in XI as archive file you insert the namespace in the root element of the creating inbound xml tree in xslt.This namespace is very import.
4.You should zip this xslt file and in XI goto Mapping objects and right click on imported archives and select new.goto the ziped files directory and click import archive button.To use this xslt mapping go to the interface mapping and in mapping program select xsl from the drop down and select the imported xslt mapping.

Detroubulator: RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND when testing XSLT mapping

Hello Everybody
I have tried to test a XSLT mapping on SAP-XI (7.0, service pack 14) using Detroubulator (1.1.0):
- JRE = jre1.6.0_03
- JCo = 2.1.8
- JUnit = junit-4.4.jar
- aii_map_api.jar was copied from XI server to /detroubulator/lib
However, running my test file I receive the following error:

The JCo connection to the SAP-XI server works yet the XSLT program is not recognized.
Has anybody experienced similar problems and found a solution?

Hello everybody,
I have the same problem, but as path delimiter I use the slash.

The xi system finds the xslt as part of a szenario.
