Storing internal table from XML File into DDIC

Hi everybody,
im trying to store an internal table <b>without</b> knowing the content - means the structure (fields)- into th DDIC, but i failed. The code is:
DATA xslt_error TYPE REF TO cx_xslt_exception.
TRY .
perform load_file using 'D:/usr/YTGVF_asXML.xml'    changing itab_XMLResult.
      refresh itab_tableA.
      call transformation id
        source xml itab_XMLResult
        result GREATEST = itab_tableA.
CATCH cx_xslt_exception INTO xslt_error.
DATA: xslt_message type string .
xslt_message = xslt_error->get_text( ).
write xslt_message.
ENDTRY.
form load_file
using    path type localfile
changing tab type table.
data:    s type string,
           filelength type i.
s = path.
refresh tab.
call function 'GUI_UPLOAD'
    exporting filename   = s
               filetype   = 'BIN'
    importing filelength = filelength
    tables     data_tab   = tab
    exceptions others     = 1.
endform.                    "load_file
So, how can i store itab_tableA, without knowing the content (fields) of the table? The XML-File is of type asXML - i guess there should be a solution.
Thanks for all replies!
BG, Jim

Absolutely, I don't see why that would be a problem.
After parsing through the schema or DTD, you would know what the structure of the XML file coming through would be. So it would be basically uploading the file to SAP and then parsing the schema or DTD file, you will come to know the structure of your XML.
And once you know the structure, you can create your <a href="/people/subramanian.venkateswaran2/blog/2004/11/19/dynamic-internal-table internal table</a>, and put the values from the XML file in the same.
Considering my limited knowledge in XML, I am not able to provide information regarding , if there are any function modules/classes which SAP supports to directly read an XML schema/DTD and create a table of that sort. But the above inputs should help you in your way...

Hi James,
I have followed upto step No: 12 .
Please could you let me know how to link the XML file on my local drive to BI,
I am not able to find figure out where to specify the path of the XML file to be loaded into BI.
Thanks In Advance

1. Create a Infosource(ZIS), with transfer structure in accordance with the structure in the XML file. (You can open the XML file with MS Excel.This way you can get to know the structure).
2. Activate the transfer rules.
3. After activation ;from the Menu Bar , Select Extras>Create BW Datasource with SOAP connection.
4.Now Activate the Infosurce again, this creates an XML based Datasource(6AXXX...)
5.These steps would create two sub nodes under the Infosource(ZIS).
6.Select Myself system and create a data package and execute it run in Init mode(without Data Transfer).
7. This would create an entry in RSA7(BW delta Queue)
8. Again create another Delta Infopackage under it, and run it. Now the Datasource(6AXXXXXX..) would turn green in RSA7.
9.In Function builder(SE37) select your FM( do a search ,F4, on the datasource 6AXXX....) .
10.Inside this RFC based FM , from the Menu Bar select Utilities>more Utilities>Create Web services>From Function module.
11.A wizard will guide you through the next steps .
12.once this is done a Web serrvice would be enabled in WSADMIN. Select your FM and execute it.
13.From here you can upload the data from XML file into BW delta queue.

Function module to get data into internal table from Excel file sheets

Hi,
I have to upload customers from excel file.
we are donloading customer data excel file sheets.
Customer data in 1 sheet, tax data the other sheet of same excel file, Customer master-Credit data in other sheet of same excel file.
so i have 3-4 sheet in one excel file.
now my requirement is to get the data from excel file into internal table.
is there any function module.
Thanks & Regards

I am sending you the idea with an example how you can upload data from an EXCEL file into an internal table. I am not sure if you can take data from different sheet in the same EXCEL file. I think that this is not possible (try it )
Upload the data into an internal table, like the way that I am describing in the above:
DATA: L_MAX_COL_NB TYPE I.
DATA: l_file_name LIKE RLGRAP-FILENAME.
Just to be sure that is the correct type for the FM.
l_file_name = P_FILE_NAME.
L_MAX_COL_NB = 58. "Maximum nb of colums that the FM can read.
CALL FUNCTION 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE'
       EXPORTING
            FILENAME                = l_file_name
            I_BEGIN_COL             = 1
            I_BEGIN_ROW             = 2
            I_END_COL               = L_MAX_COL_NB
            I_END_ROW               = 9999
       TABLES
            INTERN                  = PT_EXCEL
       EXCEPTIONS
            INCONSISTENT_PARAMETERS = 1
            UPLOAD_OLE              = 2
            OTHERS                  = 3.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
ENDIF.
Now you should upload the data into your own itab. The Function Module will return to you all the an itab
from all fields and columns. Define the structure of the uploading file into SE11 - Data Dictionary. Then read the fieldcatalog of this structure. In the code that I am sending to you, I am insearting an empty line into the internal table and then I am assigning this line into a corresponding field-symbol. Then I am able to change the working area - so and the line of the itab. Propably you could you the statement APPEND INITIAL LINE TO (your_table_name) ASSIGNING <your_field_symbol>, but the example was written in an old SAP version.
FIELD-SYMBOLS:
                 <F_REC> LIKE WA_UPLOAD_FILE,      "working are of the uploading file
                 <F_FIELD> TYPE ANY.
DATA: COLUMN_INT TYPE I,
        C_FIELDNAME(30) TYPE C.
PERFORM GET_FIELDCATOLG TABLES FIELDCAT
                           USING 'ZECO_CHARALAMBOUS_FILE'.
LOOP AT PT_EXCEL.
    AT NEW ROW.
      ASSIGN WA_UPLOAD_FILE TO <F_REC>.
    ENDAT.
    COLUMN_INT = PT_EXCEL-COL.
    READ TABLE FIELDCAT INTO WA_FIELDCAT INDEX COLUMN_INT.
    CONCATENATE '<F_REC>-' WA_FIELDCAT-FIELDNAME INTO C_FIELDNAME.
    ASSIGN (C_FIELDNAME) TO <F_FIELD>.
    <F_FIELD> = PT_EXCEL-VALUE.
    AT END OF ROW.
      APPEND WA_UPLOAD_FILE TO GT_UPLOAD_FILE.
      CLEAR WA_UPLOAD_FILE.
    ENDAT.
ENDLOOP.

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.

How to retrieve data from xml file into obiee reports

Hi all,
I've got a situation here. A xml file is stored as blob in oracle database table. Now i need to retrieve data/info from that xml file into obiee reports. How am i supposed to proceed with this ?

I will go for a table function:
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/database/oracle/table_function
In two words, you can create a function that behave as a table. Then you create a function to pick up your xml, you parse it and you send back the rows.
I know that Oracle has also a library for XML files but I never use it until now.

Import data from XML file into ICM script

Hello,
Is it possible to read data from an XML file into an ICM Admin script? If yes, using which node?
Thanks,
Justine.

Hi,
as far as i know not directy. Only Method i could think of right now is via CVP Application (Java Class, Custom Node) or IVR Script.
To import data you only have the Database Node which does only allow sources form the Database Lookup Explorer ir passing data along to/from external scripts.

Embedding data from xml file into metadata of a pdf

Hi All
I'm wanting to do the following, but struggling to figure the right way to go about it.
I want to embedded data from my MIS into a pdf's metadata (as scrnshot). I can create a standalone xml file with all the data I require, but I'm unsure how to automate that being embedded into a pdf's advanced metadata. I know this can be done, as it worked at a previous employer, but I didn't get chance to find out how they did it.
I'm wanting to do this so I can carry out a more advanced search of the metadata in Bridge.
Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi Northern,
    I have modified the modifyingXMP sample for you. After this change, put your xmp file as sample.xml and also put pdf file in the same folder where ModifyXMP executable is. After merging my changes, ModifyXMP file will read the sample.xml and will embed it into pdf file.
   Please follow the following steps
1. Download XMPToolkit SDK and follow the steps to compile Sample
2. Open ModifyingXMP file, replace all the content of that file with the below content
3. Compile the ModifyingXMP file.
4. The ModifyXMP.exe will be generated in folder (samples\target\windows\Debug), if you have changed the output folder it will be generated there.
5. In parallel to ModifyingXMP.exe put the sample.xml (the xml file you have) and also the pdf file (say pdf file name is mypdf.pdf)
6. Go to console and change directory to the directory where ModifyingXMP is and pass the following command
ModifyingXMP mypdf.pdf
7. Open the pdf file and check that value/properties
For your reference, I am putting the content of the sample.xml file too, put this content in sample.xmp and any pdf and you will find subject field is getting added.
************** content of the sample.xml file. Create a file name sample.xml and put that content. Put sample.xml in parallel to ModifyingXMP.exe*******

Can we create internal table from txt file seperated by space?

Hi all,
I have text file abc.txt :
BP1 SAP1
BP123 SAP2
Now I can read this file GUI_UPLOAD FM
But I want to return this as table with two columns and two rows.
First row with two columns: BP1 SAP1
Scond row with two column: BP2 SAP2
I tried using
TYPES:
BEGIN OF i_po_data,
BP(3) TYPE c, " lmax length of the line of the text file
BP_name(10) TYPE c,
END OF i_po_data.
but in this case
First 3 characters will be filled in first column.
But in the second row BP123 , BP1 will be in first column but
'23' will not fit in first column.
How to insert the data in the first column just by space?
so that BP123 can also fit in the second column.
Thanks,
SUSHANT

hi,
if you have declared a variable of length 3 ,then how can you store data in that varaible which is more then 3 in length?
change your varaible length to get required result.

Read data from xml files and populate internal table

Hi.
How to read data from xml files into internal tables?
Can u tell me the classes and methods to read xml data..
Can u explain it with a sample program...

<pre>DATA itab_accontextdir TYPE TABLE OF ACCONTEXTDIR.
DATA struct_accontextdir LIKE LINE OF itab_accontextdir.
DATA l_o_error TYPE REF TO cx_root.
DATA: filename type string ,
             xmldata type xstring .
DATA: mr      TYPE REF TO if_mr_api.
mr = cl_mime_repository_api=>get_api( ).
mr->get( EXPORTING i_url     = 'SAP/PUBLIC/BC/xml_files_accontext/xml_accontextdir.xml'
              IMPORTING e_content = xmldata ).
WRITE xmldata.
TRY.
CALL TRANSFORMATION id
      SOURCE XML xmldata
      RESULT shiva = itab_accontextdir.
CATCH cx_root INTO l_o_error.
ENDTRY.
LOOP AT itab_accontextdir INTO struct_accontextdir.
    WRITE: / struct_accontextdir-context_id,
           struct_accontextdir-context_name,
           struct_accontextdir-context_type.
    NEW-LINE.
    ENDLOOP.</pre>
<br/>
Description:
In the above code snippet I am storing the data in an xml file(you know xml is used to store and transport data ) called 'xml_accontextdir.xml' that is uploaded into the MIME repository at path 'SAP/PUBLIC/BC/xml_files_accontext/xml_accontextdir.xml'.
The below API is used to read a file in MIME repo and convert it into a string that is stored in ' xmldata'. (This is just a raw data that is got by appending the each line of xml file).
mr = cl_mime_repository_api=>get_api( ).
mr->get( EXPORTING i_url     = 'SAP/PUBLIC/BC/xml_files_accontext/xml_accontextdir.xml'
              IMPORTING e_content = xmldata ).
    Once the 'xmldata' string is available we use the tranformation to parse the xml string that we have got from the above API and convert it into the internal table.
<pre>TRY.
CALL TRANSFORMATION id
      SOURCE XML xmldata
      RESULT shiva = itab_accontextdir.
CATCH cx_root INTO l_o_error.
ENDTRY.</pre>
Here the trasnsformation 'id ' is used to conververt the source xml 'xmldata' to resulting internal table itab_accontextdir, that have same structure as our xml file 'xml_accontextdir.xml'. In the RESULT root of the xml file has to be specified. (In my the root is 'shiva').
Things to be taken care:
One of the major problem that occurs when reading the xml file is 'format not compatible with the internal table' that you are reading into internal table. Iin order to get rid of this issue use one more tranformation to convert the data from the internal table into the xml file.
<pre>TRY.
      CALL TRANSFORMATION id
        SOURCE shiv = t_internal_tab
        RESULT XML xml.
    CATCH cx_root INTO l_o_error.
ENDTRY.
WRITE xml.
NEW-LINE.</pre>
<br/>
This is the same transformation that we used above but the differnce is that the SOURCE and RESULT parameters are changed the source is now the internal table and result is *xml *string. Use xml browser that is available with the ABAP workbench to read the xml string displayed with proper indentation. In this way we get the format of xml file to be used that is compatable with the given internal table.
Thank you, Hope this will help you!!!

How to Insert data from an XML file into an Oracle 10g table

Hello,
Please can you help me as I have hit a brick wall with this problem.
We are running version 10g Oracle and we will start receiving XML files with employee data that needs loading into a table, this is the XML file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<RECRUITS>
<RECRUIT>
<FIRST_NAME>Gordon</FIRST_NAME>
<LAST_NAME>Brown</LAST_NAME>
<SHORT_NAME>GORDONBROWN</SHORT_NAME>
<APP_NO>00002</APP_NO>
<STATUS>M</STATUS>
<DATE_FROM>21-JUL-2006</DATE_FROM>
<RESOURCE_TYPE>P</RESOURCE_TYPE>
<TITLE>Mr</TITLE>
<DATE_OF_BIRTH>28-DEC-1983</DATE_OF_BIRTH>
<SOCIAL_SEC>AB128456A</SOCIAL_SEC>
<PARTTIME_PCT>1</PARTTIME_PCT>
<SEX>M</SEX>
<ADDRESS_TYPE>1</ADDRESS_TYPE>
<ADDRESS>A HOUSE SOMEWHERE HERE</ADDRESS>
<ZIP_CODE>PE3 LLL</ZIP_CODE>
<PLACE>BOROUGH</PLACE>
<COUNTRY_CODE>UK</COUNTRY_CODE>
<PROVINCE>UK</PROVINCE>
<EMAIL>[email protected]</EMAIL>
</RECRUIT>
(FYI - there may be more than 1 employee in each file so all of the above will be repeated X amount of times)
</RECRUITS>
To make things simple we have created a table which mirrors the XML file completely to load the data into, the SQL i have used is thus:
CREATE TABLE RECRUITMENT
FIRST_NAME VARCHAR2(30),
LAST_NAME VARCHAR2(30),
SHORT_NAME VARCHAR2(30),
APP_NO NUMBER,
STATUS VARCHAR2(1),
DATE_FROM DATE,
RESOURCE_TYPE VARCHAR2(1),
TITLE VARCHAR2(4),
DATE_OF_BIRTH DATE,
SOCIAL_SEC VARCHAR2(9),
PARTTIME_PCT NUMBER,
SEX VARCHAR2(1),
ADDRESS_TYPE VARCHAR2(1),
ADDRESS VARCHAR2(30),
ZIP_CODE VARCHAR2(8),
PLACE VARCHAR2(10),
PROVINCE VARCHAR2(3),
EMAIL VARCHAR2(20)
Every method we try from the numerous documents and so called "user guides" have failed, please can somebody show me the PL/SQL i need to get this files data into the above table?
We need to be able to do this purely through SQL*PLUS as we hope - if we ever get it working manually to create a procuedure that will encapsulate everything so it can be run over and over again.
The XML file is sitting in the XMLDIR and is called REC.XML.
