XML convert to a regular table data

I'm using Oracle 10g, from SQL plus I used some built in functions to spool to an xml file, my question is what functions I can use to read from an XML file and insert into an Oracle database table
as varchar2 or number or date not as an XML type in the table

my question is what functions I can use to read from an XML file and insert into an Oracle database table
as varchar2 or number or date not as an XML type in the table
If you're on 10.2 : XMLTable
On prior versions : XMLSequence, Extract, Extractvalue functions
Give us the exact db version, and some sample input data / expected result if you need more help.

Creating XML file from ABAP internal table data....

Hello,
I am fethcing data froma custom table and I have to write data in XMl format. Following is the XML format in which I want data. Is there any function module iN SAP which will help me in writing data from internal table to XML file ?
<batch>
<invoice>
 <StatusCode>10</StatusCode>
 <paymentamount>122.00</paymentamount>
 <ReferenceNumber>70980934</ReferenceNumber>

</control>
</batch>
Please help.

I suggest you look into "simple transformations". That's SAP's most recent technology for such purposes, as far as I know.

XML load error - when moving table data after upgrade

Greetings:
Background:
Previously in our 2.2 instance, we would use the Data Load/Unload feature of APEX to move data in the form of XML from instance 1 to instance 2. This woks well because it moves images also (BLOB)
What Changed:
Recently we did the upgrade to APEX 3.0. The tool is working well, but we are having issues uploading XML data in the same manner we used to. The process wizard works up until time for execution.. the following error message is seen.
XML load error.
Return to application.
Assumption:
I do not believe this is an XML file issues because the file I am testing the process with is from the EMP table, and is from the UNLOAD option on the same DB and SCHEMA.. (testing is unloading the data, than re-loading the same data to the same place)
Internally some permissions or something internal must be missing.
Assistance or suggestions on where to look is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Tim

Tim,
Sorry for the delay - that silly day job keeps getting in the way.
Here is a small procedure you could use to take the XML data file format exported from Application Express and import into your table. This uses the Java-dependent DBMS_XMLSAVE package, which avoids the issue mentioned above.
create or replace procedure load_xml(
 p_clob in clob,
 p_schema in varchar2,
 p_table in varchar2 )
is
 l_insCtx dbms_xmlsave.ctxType;
 l_rows number;
begin
 l_insCtx := dbms_xmlsave.newContext(p_schema || '.' || p_table);
 dbms_xmlsave.setDateFormat(l_insCtx,'yyyy-MM-dd''T''HH:mm:ss.SSS');
 l_rows := dbms_xmlsave.insertXML( l_insCtx, p_clob);
 dbms_xmlsave.closeContext(l_insCtx);
end load_xml;I then ran the following quick test on apex.oracle.com just for verification.
declare
 l_xml varchar2(32000);
begin
 l_xml := '<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<ID>11645117496276327</ID>
<FLOW_ID>30072</FLOW_ID>
<NAME>F11645117496276327/no_image_found.gif</NAME>
<FILENAME>no_image_found.gif</FILENAME>
<MIME_TYPE>image/gif</MIME_TYPE>
<CREATED_BY>JOEL</CREATED_BY>
<CREATED_ON>2007-03-14T05:06:38.000</CREATED_ON>
<BLOB_CONTENT>474946383961C800...(data removed for this example)...41000003B</BLOB_CONTENT>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>';
 load_xml( l_xml, 'MY_DB_USER', 'MY_APEX_FILES' );
end;It's now simply a matter of how you get your XML file(s) into a CLOB to call this procedure. The options include:
1) Just pass in a VARCHAR2 as I did in the example above, which would limit you to roughly 32K.
2) You could use DBMS_LOB.LOADCLOBFROMFILE to read it from the database server filesystem.
3) You could upload the file via an APEX application (or some other means within APEX), you could convert the BLOB to a CLOB, and then call this procedure. If you need help with this method, let me know.
Don't forget - as yet another alternative, you could always contact Oracle Support to see what could be done about that underlying database bug.
I hope this helps.

How to convert a table data from rows to columns?

Hi,
I have a Employee table of the following format:
Emp_id | Emp_name | Salary
101 | James | 1000
102 | Julia     | 2000
I have to convert or transpose the table data as follows using a SQL statement/function -
Emp_id | 101     |     102
Emp_name | James |     Julia
Salary     | 1000 |     2000
How do I achieve this?
Please help me.
Thanks,

Hi Pavan,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
The link seems to be of not relevant to my question.
My question is to clearly transpose the rows to columns and vice versa without any changes to data.
Regards,
993012I do not see any modification to the data in the Link posted by Pavan. Anyways, One catch with Transposing the Rows is, you need to know the Number of Columns you need to project.
With Static SQL, there is no way to do so. Hence, you will need PL/SQL with Execute Immediate/Dynamic SQL.
See demostration by Tom Kyte on Dynamic Pivots to have a look at the example and adapt to your situation.
Although, I will debate on the need to do it in SQL. Because what you are upto is a part of Reporting and there are many reporting Tools which will have this functionality in-built. SQL, ideally should not be used for reporting purposes. It sole purpose it to store and pass the data to be rendered by Client Software i.e. Java or Third Party tools.

Problem converting data in XML file to internal table data

Hi all,
I have a requirement. I need to convert an XML file to internal table data and based on that data do Goods Receipt in SAP.
With the help of this blog /people/r.eijpe/blog/2005/11/10/xml-dom-processing-in-abap-part-i--convert-an-abap-table-into-xml-file-using-sap-dom-approach
I am able to convert the XML file to data in SAP. But this blog will display the output on screen as ELELEMNT = nodename VALUE= value of that node.
But I donu2019t want in that way, I want to store all the data in XML file in an internal table so that I can make use of those values and do Goods Recipt in SAP.
Can some one suggest how should I read the data in an internal table.
Here is my code..what changes should I make?

How to Convert internal table data into xml and xml data into internal tab

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement that i have to convert the internal table data into xml format and viceversa . for my requirement i came to know that i have to use Transformations concept. i done the converting the data from internal table into xml data by using standard Tranformations. My Question is
1) Can i use same Transformation to convert the xml data into abap internal table. if it is possible then how ???
2) Is it possible using the standard Transformation or I have to go for XSLT approach
Please help me out from this guys,
Thanks and Regards
Koti

Hi Koti,
This is possible. There is a link. With the help of this link you can convert ABAP data to XML and vice versa.

Internal table data 1E2 automatically convert to scientific format

Dear all,
I have been searched for solution moths from the forums and tried all possible methods, but still no way to solve my above problem. I found a way to solve it partially for us, but may be very helpful for others who meet similly case like mine, so I posted here.
my problem is when I export my internal table data to Excel, the Cell data with 1E2 auto becomes 1.00E02, and 1E8 becomes 1.00E08, we need it to be 1E2 and 1E8 in excel.
you can recreate my problem by
1, input 1E2 into your Microsoft Excel, then Enter, it will auto change into scientific format. which is we do not want.
2, use any of your SAP system open any table as long as there is a Char (>3) field in that table. add some
data entry in that field in the form "any amount (<15) of numeric 1 to 9"E"any one or two numeric 1 to 9". such as, 123E2, 1234E12 etc. then save this table's data to local file spread sheet, or use any FM to download it to a Excel file, when you open this
file by Excel, the cell with above form will display as scientific. but
if you put three or more numeric after the "E", such as 123E123 it will
display correctly.
what I have done:
I searched in SCN for similar thread:
 Export to Excel 2007 - item number problem
 Exceding the limit of numbers in Excel at target side
 Excel download cell format problem
 Formating as Text in excel through SAP

Tested accordingly, But none of these works in our case. because our
ultimate receiver of email attachment will be external third party, we cannot ask
them to change anything in their Excel.
Search Microsoft help about Excel, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/214233,
and it says this "Automatic Number Formatting" is a normal behaviour of excel.
no way to turn it off, the "work-around" way that Microsoft provides is not suitable for our
case.

it successful controled the format. so this could be a solution for others whose internal table size is small. but our 2MB internal table bocome 6MB when converted to xml file attachment, which cannot be received by our end user's mail box. too big.
So please advise your ideas.
Many thanks in advance!

Thank you very much for your time!

Hi,
You can achieve this by describing the spreadsheet in XML with the help of the DOM classes.
The later releases of Excel can read and save spreadsheets as XML, providing your release supports this you can achieve it.
Check out the following Wiki
[Excel - XML|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/abap/exporting%2bdata%2bto%2bexcel%2b-%2bxml%2bto%2bthe%2brescue]

Internal Table Data to XML

Hi
I have a requirement of writing internal table data to XML. Any idea where i should start.
I have pretty good experience with ABAP and basic knowledge in XML.
There are good blogs which talk about transformations and other stuff but they are not able to give me clear path to my solution.
Could somebody give me a basic example or some reference material where i can move the data in internal table (assume Sales order details of a day) to XML.
Thanks

Refer the program -
In this implementation we will only focus on the creation of the XML file and the transfer to the user. You can not create a XML document directly. You have to use a so called ixml factory first.
TYPE-POOLS: ixml.
DATA: l_ixml TYPE REF TO if_ixml.
l_ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ).
This iXML factory can create an empty XML document object named l_document.
DATA: l_document TYPE REF TO if_ixml_document.
 l_document = l_ixml->create_document( ).
At this point you can add the nodes (elements, attributes) into the document. First you have to declare the root element node.
DATA: l_element_root TYPE REF TO if_ixml_element.
This node we have to give a name and add it (create_simple_node) to the document object l_document, which will be the parent of this node.
l_element_root = l_document->create_simple_element(
 name = 'flights'
 parent = l_document ).
Next we can add child nodes to there parent node using the same method of the document object.
DATA: l_element_airline TYPE REF TO if_ixml_element,
l_element_airline = l_document->create_simple_element(
 name = 'airline'
 parent = l_element_root ).
An attribute can be add easily using the method set_attribute of the element node.
l_rc = l_element_airline->set_attribute( name = 'code' value = 'LH401' ).
Now we have finished the document object. Regretfully it can not be displayed in any form due to the fact that it is a binary object.
The next step is to convert the created document to a flat file. To achieve this we have to create a stream factory, which will help us to create an output stream.
DATA: l_streamfactory TYPE REF TO if_ixml_stream_factory.
l_streamfactory = l_ixml->create_stream_factory( ).
In this case, we will convert the document into an output stream which is based on an internal table of type x.
TYPES: BEGIN OF xml_line,
 data(256) TYPE x,
 END OF xml_line.
DATA: l_xml_table TYPE TABLE OF xml_line,
 l_xml_size TYPE i,
 l_rc TYPE i,
 l_ostream TYPE REF TO if_ixml_ostream.
l_ostream = l_streamfactory->create_ostream_itable( table = l_xml_table ).
When we have created the output stream we can do the rendering from the document into the stream. The XML data will be stored in the internal table automatically.
DATA: l_renderer TYPE REF TO if_ixml_renderer.
l_renderer = l_ixml->create_renderer( ostream = l_ostream
 & nbsp; document = l_document ).
l_rc = l_renderer->render( ).
In the last step we upload the file to the sapgui
l_xml_size = l_ostream->get_num_written_raw( ).
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
 EXPORTING
 bin_filesize = l_xml_size
 filename = 'c:\temp\flights.xml'
 filetype = 'BIN'
 CHANGING
 data_tab = l_xml_table
 EXCEPTIONS
 OTHERS = 24.
This finished the first step-of-three. As mentioned before the next log will focus on the conversion from xml files (back) to abap tables.
REPORT z_xit_xml_dom_create.
TYPE-POOLS: ixml.

 data(256) TYPE x,
 END OF xml_line.

Internal table data to XML file.

Hi All,
May I know how can we convert the internal table data to xml file?
Regards
Ramesh.

Re: Convert XML to internal Table
Go through the link..u should be able to solve the problem..

Collect data from a dynamic XML file into multiple internal tables

I need to convert the XML file into multiple internal tables. I tried many links and posts in SDN but still was facing difficulty in achieving this. Can some one tell me where I am going wrong.
My XML file is of the following type.It is very complex and the dynamice.
The following tags occur more than once in the XML file. The "I" and "L" tags and its child tags can occur ones or more than once for each XML file and it is not constant. i.e in one file they can occur 1 time and in another they can occur 100 times.
"I" and "L" are child tags of <C>

 <J>10</J>
 <K>EN</K>

<L>
 <J>20</J>
 <N>BB</N>
</L>
Tags <C> and <F> occur only ones for each XML file. <C> is the child tag of "A" and "F" is the child tag of <C>.
I need to collect <D>, <E> in one internal table ITAB.
I need to collect <G>, <H> in one internal table JTAB.
I need to collect <J>, <K> in one internal table KTAB.
I need to collect <J>, <N> in one internal table PTAB.
Below is the complete XML file.
?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<A>
 
 <C>
 <D>RED</D>
 <E>999</E>
 <F>
 <G>TRACK</G>
 <H>PACK</H>
 </F>
 
 <J>10</J>
 <K>EN</K>
 
 
 <J>20</J>
 <K>TN</K>
 
 
 <J>30</J>
 <K>KN</K>
 
 <L>
 <J>10</J>
 <N>AA</N>

 <J>20</J>
 <N>BB</N>
 </L>
 <L>
 <J>30</J>
 <N>CC</N>
 </L>
 </C>
</A>
With the help of SDN I am able to gather the values of <D> <E> in one internal table.
Now if I need to gather
<G>, <H> in one internal table JTAB.
<J>, <K> in one internal table KTAB.
<J>, <N> in one internal table PTAB.
I am unable to do. I am following XSLT transformation method. If some one has some suggestions. Please help.

Please help..i am really tring hard to figure this out. I am found lot of threads addressing this issue but not my problem.
Kindly help.

Hi Rammohan,
Thanks for the effort!
But I don't need to use GUI upload because my functionality does not require to fetch data from presentation server.
Moreover, the split command advised by you contains separate fields...f1, f2, f3... and I cannot use it because I have 164 fields. I will have to split into 164 fields and assign the values back to 164 fields in the work area/header line.
Moreover I have about 10 such work areas. so the effort would be ten times the above effort! I want to avoid this! Please help!
I would be very grateful if you could provide an alternative solution.
Thanks once again,
Best Regards,
Vinod.V

Sending internal table data to application server as an XML file

Hi All,
I am trying to send the internal table data to application server which should be stored in XML format.
I am using the following code:
DATA:
 result TYPE xstring.
 CALL TRANSFORMATION id
 SOURCE tab = p_output-xsfdata
 RESULT XML result.
 OPEN DATASET l_xml_full_path FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
 TRANSFER result TO l_xml_full_path.
 CLOSE DATASET l_xml_full_path.
And the content in the internal table is :
3C3F786D6C2076657273696F6E3D22312E30223F3E3C736620786D6C6E733D2275726E3A736

.......and so on
With this a file is getting created on the application server, but the data is not correct. I am getting the data something like:

HI,
Use this FM SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT to convert the data to XML format and then upload the convert data from the internal table to Application server.

How to handle tables data in XML schema based adobe form

Hi all,
I am working on the CRM business partner creation by using Interactive adobe form with following steps:
1) Uploaded the offline Interactive adobe form to online interactive adobe form via WebDynpro ABAP;
2) Capture XML data into corresponding BAPI structures;
3) Save all the changes to database via BAPI.
The adobe form contains customer information as well as several table views which are bind with the context created in WebDynpro: Node NEW_BP_NODE cardinality 1:1 with single attributes and table type attributes (1:n): COLOUR_COMP, MEN_COMP etc.
While converting the xml format data to SAP context format, It is fine to use following routine to find the single attribute and map to the BAPI structure to do the database update.
NODE = DOCUMENT->FIND_FROM_NAME( NAME = 'XYZu2019).
XYZ = NODE->GET_VALUE( ).
Question: how to convert the xml table data to SAP context format in WebDynpro ABAP?
The XML table data looks like below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<NEW_BP_NODE>
<COLOUR_COMP>
<DATA>
<ZZTFLD0W2AQW />
<ZZTFLDRZ2AQX>000</ZZTFLDRZ2AQX>

Hi,
Just follow these steps:
1. Create interactive form UI element in your view.
2. Now provide Datasource and PDFSOURCE to it in form properties.
3. Now give a template name prefix with 'Z' or 'Y'.
4. Double click on it. It will prompt for interface name.
5. Provide interface name prefixed with 'Z' or 'Y'.
6. Click on Context button in the Pop up window and provide the node you have selected as DATASOURCE.
7. Click ok and it will open the form designer.
8. In this way you can create a XML Schema based Form.
9. Activate the interface and design the form providing layout type and other details.
Hope it will help.
Regards,
Vaibhav

DB Adapter inserting data in to regular tables and LOG / History tables

I have a requirement of reading a XML file using the File Adapter and inserting into Data base.
I'm using File Adapter --> Mediator --> DB Adapter
When I insert the data I have to insert in to regular tables and LOG / History tables the same data.
There is a foreign key relationship with regular table and History table. How to insert in to both tables (regular and LOG / History)?
Thanks in advance

while configuring the adapter, you need to create the relationships between the two tables, while importing the tables, import the two tables...
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/integration.1111/e10231/adptr_db.htm#BDCGCCJB
go to 9.2.7 Creating Relationships.

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>
 
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>
 
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!!!
