UCCX Reading XML file hosted on IIS web server

hi guys,
i have a customer on CCX 8.5 environment and they have a .NET application running on an IIS web server. As part of this .NET application, the app produce an XML file.
My questions is
"Can CCX read XML file that is hosted externally on IIS web server rather than parsing the XML file on CCX document repository?"
All of the examples of XML parsing points to the XML file in document repository.
Any pointers to links and documentation/example on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
If this is not achievable, if you could kindly suggest a different way of doing it too would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Daniel

Hi,
to be quite honest with you, I don't know anything about Sharepoint - so I am afraid I cannot help you with its XML editing capabilities. XML is just a well formed text file that follows some logical rules, so no additional application is required for editing, in fact, I always encourage everybody to use Notepad/Textpad/ to read and edit XML files. Of course, if it's not possible, you will find a great number of various user friendly XML editing applications.
A UCCX script will normally access an XML using the Create URL Document step and then, using the Get XML Document data step with the help of an XPath expression, will filter out the necessary information from the XML document.
The protocols used are standard and well known, including HTTP and XPath (and XML itself). So it does not really matter what kind of HTTP server serves the XML file, IIS is just an option.
Examples may be found in the Scripting guides for your particular UCCX version.

How to read XML file kept on NON-SAP server using the Http URL ?

Dear Experts,
I am working on CRM2007 web UI. I need to read a XML file placed on a shared server location by a third party program. Then process that XML file into CRM and create a quotation using the data extracted from the file.
All i have with me is the http URL that points to the location of the file.
I am supposed to read the file , create quotation and at later point of time i would be asked to update the quotation and then generated new XML representing updated quotation and replace the XML file on shared server location with this new updated XML file.
I know how to extract data from XML file into ABAP but i have no clue as to how to access the file on some other server using the http url i have and how to read it ?
I searched on the forum and i found the codes for reading XML file that is located either on client machine OR on the Application server wheareas my file is on some other than sap application server.
Please help me as its an urgent issue .
Points will be rewarded for sure.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Suchita.
p.s. : the http url to the file location is like -->
http://SomeServerDomain/SomeDirectory/file.xml

hi,
interesting task.
to request the file by a http call you need to create an if_http_client object.
More info is [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmobile71/helpdata/en/e5/4d350bc11411d4ad310000e83539c3/frameset.htm]
to parse the file you either have to work with the ixml packages ([info|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmobile71/helpdata/en/47/b5413acdb62f70e10000000a114084/content.htm]) or you use an XSLT transformation ([info|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmobile71/helpdata/en/a8/824c3c66177414e10000000a114084/content.htm]).
uploading the final file isn't so easy. if you only have http, you should write a server script to allow uploading of the new file and copying it into the place of the old file. but you definitely need the script.
now it's your take. depending on how experienced you are in ABAP and networking this might turn out to be easy or pretty complicated.
have fun,

Read xml file in another web server

my question is how to read xml file that in another web server???
my existing code look like that, where the xml file is situated in C drive.
<%@ page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@ page import="javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory,
javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder,
org.w3c.dom.*"
%>
<%
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = db.parse("c:/xml/message.xml");
NodeList nl = doc.getElementsByTagName("message");
%>
<html>
<body>
<%= nl.item(0).getFirstChild().getNodeValue() %>
</body>
</html>

are you looking for this?
Document doc = db.parse("http://myotherwebserver/myFile.xml");

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

Post Author: bhofmans
CA Forum: Data Integration
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.

Read XML file in WEB-INF works in exploded format but fails in EAR

I'm able to read an XML file stored in the WEB-INF when my application is deployed in the exploded format, but when its deployed in an EAR, the reading fails.
          I read from forums that getRealPath could fail, so I added in the getResourceAsStream to fall back on. But in the EAR format, both fails.
          What did I miss out?
          Here's my codes:
                      StringBuffer configFileName = new StringBuffer();
            configFileName.append(File.separatorChar).append("WEB-INF");
            configFileName.append(File.separatorChar).append("app-config.xml");
            String fileName = getServletContext().getRealPath(configFileName.toString());
            if (fileName == null) {
              request.setAttribute("efs/xmlmappings-is", getServletContext().getResourceAsStream(configFileName.toString()));
            } else {
              request.setAttribute("efs/xmlmappings-str", fileName);

XML IDOC data (hosted on a web server) & handling multiple WSDLs

Hi ALL,
1)how to design an Interface for picking up an XML IDOC data (hosted on a web server) which will be uploaded to SAP or converted to a file
this is what the customer has given me ..can any one explain me this and help me how to more forward
2).This Interface must use UDDI concept because we are going to use multiple BAPIs /RFCs as WSDLs
what is this mean can any send me some document on this
3).Use web-service navigator concept as we will be handling multiple WSDLs
i worked on 1. to define a place holder in WebAS for holding the
wsdls.
2. publish the wsdls in WebAS UDDI Repostory
but i have never used web-service navigator concept as we will be handling multiple WSDLs what is the difference ..send me some step by step docs ..
thanks very much
RK..

1.I am not clear with the requirement too. THere is no big deal in sending XML to IDOC or File. Based on your requirement you have to import IDOC structure or ify ou are using file, create a structure for the file.
If u are asking about sendin the XML directly without mapping, even you can do that without MM and even IM.
Please be more elaborate and if you are not clear with what client said, paraphrase them or ask again. Its not good to start work unless we are very clear with the requirement.
you can say to my understanding i feel this, now pI will send data like this. Is it correct?
2. More information on UDDI
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UDDI
I dont think you need to worry much about this now with many features provided in ESR especially
3. http://<Host>:<port>/wsnavigator/
The webservices going out of PI are published here.
provide host and port are host and port details of ext system.
Once you enter link in your browser, it shows the available webservices hosted there.
All you need is to click on the required wsdl and test it.
It is as good as sending your data from PI to other system.
It is similar to Altova XML spy but the difference here is you enter the values directly here but in XML spy we send XML .

I want to make a schedular which read xml files from a folder ,import in Indesign template then export as a pdf....

i want to make a schedular probably in Coldfusion or using javascript , which read xml files from a folder ,import in Indesign template then export as a pdf....

I don't think you understand: I want to open Dreamweaver and build a brand new site, then when I am done I want to host the dreamweaver site on the Business Catalyst platform. I dont want to use anything in BC to build the site, I just want to use the hosting platform. I do not want to import a BC site into dreamweaver or anything like that. I just want to use BC the same way I would use godaddy, or uhost or any other hosting provider. Based on your response you said that "of course its possible to build a BC site in Dreamweaver" I dont want to build a BC site, I want to build a Dreamweaver site and host it on the BC platform. Like I said before it doesnt seem like this is possible. As of now we can only build a new site in MUSE and integrate it into BC without using a BC template. Can you understand what I am saying. I DONT WANT TO USE A BC TEMPLATE, I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH BC WHILE I AM BUILDING THE SITE WITH DREAMWEAVER, JUST LIKE MUSE DOES.

How to read Read XML File

How can i read data from xml file and store relevant data in my database? what r the initial requirements to read xml file.

So if the Database is in Japanese for instance, using Unicode, and you wanted to use pl/sql queries to create an XML file you could do that and then read that XML file back into pl/sql insert queries after web transmission to another Oracle 8i database? Any good resources that you know of for doing this kind of thing?
-dan
It depends on exactly what you want to do. If you fetch an XML document from a web page you can store it as a CLOB in the database, if you want to read it from a file you need to be aware of character set translation problems when using Unicode character sets and dbms_lob.Read function, use utl_file instead. If you wish to transform the XML document using XSLT then you need to load the stylesheet from OS, parse it and apply it to the document.
If you want some sample code then reply with a mail address.

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 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
Torsten

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,
