Upload XML file from server to itab

After failed to get a answer about download data from xml file in server to my itab, and searching and searching in hundred of post and threads i try my own solution for this issue.
I read the file with:
OPEN DATASET FICHERO FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
In this case the result is a table filled with register type string like this:
#<label>22222</label>
I need a table with this kind of value (example):
label   | 22222
label2 | John
label3 | Smith
Therefore i have to parse the data of my table, i try with the FM:
TEXT_CONVERT_XML_TO_SAP
But dont works for me,
I am too new in ABAP.
The code for my report is very simple:
REPORT ZPRUEBA_XML.
DATA: BEGIN OF TABLA OCCURS 1,
TEXTO(256) TYPE C,
END OF TABLA.
DATA: FICHERO LIKE RLGRAP-FILENAME.
OPEN DATASET FICHERO FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
WRITE:/ 'ERROR'.
ENDIF.
FREE TABLA.
DO.
READ DATASET FICHERO INTO TABLA.
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
    EXIT.
ELSE.
    APPEND TABLA.
    WRITE: TABLA-TEXTO.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
CLOSE DATASET FICHERO.
And my ".xml" in the server is very simple too.
<label>222222</label>
<name>John</name>
<street>Smith, 23, NY</street>
Anyone can help me?
Thanks

Hi,
You could use a transformation to do that, or call FM 'TEXT_CONVERT_XML_TO_SAP'... you also have the class IF_IXML that should help you and a lot of threads on the subject, such as:
convert XML data into ABAP internal table
ABAP Class to convert XML to itab
Upload XML to internal table and vice versa in SAP 4.6C

Upload xml file from aplication server using read dataset, parser error.

Hi,
I would like to upload xml file from app. server but parser failed. If I upload this xml file from workstation (using ws_upload) it is correct. For uploading xml file from app. server I use open dataset... read dataset. In loop section I remove '#' char. How do You upload xml file from app server? What Could be incorrect.
I try to open dataset in binary mode, text mode...
TYPES: BEGIN OF xml_line,
        data(255) TYPE c,
      END OF xml_line.

    MESSAGE e001(zet) WITH '....'.
ENDIF.
DO.
    READ DATASET s INTO gs_xml_structure.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      EXIT.
    ELSE.
     len = STRLEN( gs_xml_structure ).
     len = len - 1.
     check len > 0.
     WRITE gs_xml_structure(len) TO gs_xml_structure.
      APPEND gs_xml_structure TO gt_xml_table.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.

You Can do this too

create object me.
REFRESH t_data.

    RECEIVING
      retcode = subrc.
* Saves Data in an itab from XML File.

Reading a XML File from server in BI Publisher

Hi All,
Can any one help me how i can get the XML file from server to BI Publisher using data source.
The file should transfer directly to BI Publisher with out storing it in any local directory in local system.
Thank you
Shalini.

Shalini
Do you mean that you have another system that is going to serve up the XML data and you want BIP to be able to pick it up as a data source ?
Couple of options:
1, If the XML filename can remain static you can use the 'XML File' datasource. You need to set up a directory on the server and then maybe create a dummy XML file to start with upon which you can build a report. Then have your external data generator put the file into that directory and then schedule the report so that BIP will pick and report.
2. IS the data generator accessible via HTTP or web service - BIP supports those too.
3. More complex but with a little effort you can create a servlet that will pick up the file from a directory and serve it up to BIP on demand - Im going to write about this on the blog this week

Tim

Could you please tel me why the first 8 lines were removed, till <Soap:Body and also added the line <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> in the beggining .
Becuase there will be lot of XML files will be coming from the Vendor daily and that should be uploaded in the application server and should update in the SAP tables based on the data in the XML file.
what information i need to give to vendor that do not add the first 8 lines in the XML file and add the line in the beggining <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>   ??????
Is there any other way we can do with out removing the lines?

Hi Raja,
I tried the same. But it not populating the table and giving an error message in the return table "line   1 col   1-unexpected symbol; expected '<', '</', entity reference, charac".
I can't find any ' ; ' in the XML file. What could be the possible reason of error?

Problem in reading xml file from server

Hi,
I am using tomcat 4.1 and jdk 1.4.
All the class files and xml files are put into the one jar file.
While running our application a jar file is called from jsp file. in that file we are embedded applet coding. here by i am sending my applet code with this...

but that xml file is in the jar file and that jar file is present under sample application folder.
what should i change in the applet code? is there any thing related to trusted applet ?

You have the xml file in the jar so it is a resource?

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..

AIR application request a xml file from a server (but only legal users)

Hello guys
I am conceptualizing a project at the moment and I am thinking of using Adobe AIR to develop the application related to that project.
But it depends on the ability of AIR to fulfill my project requirements.
I want your ideas, please...
Imagine, I finished developing my application and compiled the distributed version using Adobe AIR.
And I am going to distribute the installation files of the intended application by burning on to a CD.
Imagine, the user who got that CD, installed it it on his computer and launched the application.
When the application is running, it needs to load a XML file which is saved in our company server.
Since it is an important data file I don't want to dispatch it with the installation CD.
So I am thinking of using URLRequest and URLLoader classes to load this XML file from server dynamically.
Lets imagine I did codes like this....
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.mycompany.com/sereverfolder/blabla.xml");
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(request);
But my question is, how safe hardcoding the path for the xml file in the class file as shown above.
Can anyone get access to xml file path by looking into installation files dispatched via CD?
Or is there any other safer way to do this?
Thank you for taking time to read my question and please add your input if you would like to share your knowledge.
cheers

Upload XML file data into internal table

Hi,
I need help from you.
I am uploading XML file from Application server.
1.In application server under directory it may have several XML files and i need to upload all the XML files when we gave only directory name. So, what is the function module for that logic . If possible code also.
2.Once we get the files into some internal table we need to upload data from that files to internal table.
So what is the logic for that , if possible code also.
I am giving sample directory:
For example in this directory assume 3 xml files are there.
I need to upload those files and data from that in to internal table.
Thanks & Regards

Is there any way to upload Tariff Code (with multiple XML files) from application server?

Hi All,
Is there any way to upload Tariff Code (with multiple XML files) from application server?. Its urgent.
Regards,
Jatin

Hi Jatin,
Yes, of course you can upload multiple files for tariff codes.
This can be done by the below path:-
SAP GTS Cockpit(tcode-/sapsll/menu_legal)-->Customs Management-->Classification-->Classification Master Data-->Upload Tariff Code Numbers from XML file(tocde- /SAPSLL/LLNS_UPL101).
In the above area after browsing and choosing the first file, please select multiple check box to choose more files as well. Then you can further select your application server and upload all those files in one go.
PS:- Although, we have an option to upload multiple such files but actually we should avoid multiple file uploads due to various reasons. Hence, please take utmost care during such procedure.
Regards,
Aman

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

or alternatively check out ABAP online help for "CALL TRANSFORMATION".
For creating the material master look at BAPI_STANDARDMATERIAL_CREATE.
