Xml file in application server

Experts,
I'm using a a simple tranformation and "open dataset" statement in order to write a xml file in application server: This is working fine.
i notice that when i preview the file in transaction "AL11" , it shows like " <tag> <tag> <tag> <tag> ......
The encoding of this file is 'utf-8'.
I did another test that was writing, trouht transaction CG3Z, a xml file in encoding 'ISO-8859-15'. When a preview the file in AL11 is shows like :
<tag>
<tag>
<tag>
<tag>
The change in the preview is due to the codification ? Or is regarding that way we write the file to the server ?
Best regards,
MR.

Hello,
Change is because of the encoding style changed from utf-8 to 'ISO-8859-15'.
May be you can try changing this manualy in XML file and see the output result.
Thanks,
Augustin.

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

XML data into Oracle Tables. XML file on Application Server.Oracle Apps R12

Hi All,
My Database version : 11.2.0.2.0
I have an XML file which needs to be loaded into the Database Tables. How ever i do not want to use the XMLTYPE as given below
insert into test1 (
SELECT PrcDate, PmtType, PmtStatus, PmtTypeCount, PmtTypeAmt
FROM XMLTABLE(
'/WFPaymentAck/RejectedDom1ACH'
PASSING XMLTYPE( BFILENAME('ECX_UTL_LOG_DIR_OBJ','wf_test_xml.XML'), NLS_CHARSET_ID('UTF8') )
COLUMNS
PrcDate VARCHAR2(2000) PATH '@PrcDate' ,
PmtType VARCHAR2(2000) PATH '@PmtType' ,
PmtStatus VARCHAR2(100) PATH '@PmtStatus' ,
PmtTypeCount VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'PmtTypeCount' ,
PmtTypeAmt VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'PmtTypeAmt'
Because this way the XML file needs to reside on the DB server.
I am looking into other option of loading the XML file into a CLOB column of a table and reading it from that column.
I did a couple of tests and feel that this way also the XML file has to reside on the Database Server itself. I am not sure if this is correct or if there is any problem with our TEST instance.
++Can anyone let me know if i need to have the XML file on the DB server instead of the Application server to load into a CLOB column of table ??++
++Or++
++Is there any other workaround for me to load XML into Oracle Tables, while having the XML file on Application Server.++
Your immediate help is appreciated. I need to get past this ASAP.
Thanks in Advance.

1) Are you asking me to create a folder on Database directory which points to a folder on the Apps server ?I suggest creating an Oracle directory object (a database object) pointing to a real location (folder) on Application server.
we DONOT want a hand shake between the DB Server and the APPS server.I don't see where the problem is.
I'm not familiar with Apps R12 but there's no doubt the two servers are already communicating, at least App server should be able to access the DB for the whole thing to run.
As I said :
One way or another, the data has to make its way to the database, there's no workaround to that.How do you imagine the data will end up in a database table if it doesn't come to the DB server?
There's no magical method out there, both servers have to communicate at some point.
About client-server approaches (client being here the App server), you can read about accessing the XML DB repository in the XML DB Developer's Guide : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e23094/toc.htm
Other option : SQL*Loader can load a CLOB, or an XMLType column too

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

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".

Reading XML File from application server

Hi experts,
My aim is to read a XML file from application server and extract the relevant data from it and process further.
When I am trying to read a XML file from application server it is reading success fully but the problem is that its not reading the last root structure of XML file why is so happening can any body help me?
I am using the following code:
TYPES: BEGIN OF xml_line,
text(256) type x,
END OF xml_line.
DATA: e_file LIKE rlgrap-filename VALUE 'applcatin server path'
OPEN DATASET e_file FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
DO.
    READ DATASET e_file INTO wa_item1-text.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      APPEND wa_item1 TO gt_item1 .
      CLEAR wa_item1.
    ELSE.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
ENDIF.
CLOSE DATASET e_file.
after this i am passing this internal table to "cl_ixml" class to extract the data
but it returning the itab with required value except the last record.
The stream reading the file it self is i thought in complete thats why it is not converting the all values.
Please help me...
Thanks a ton in advance.

Hi,
1 Copy Report BCCIIXMLT1
2 (you can change the way of filling internal table xml_table if necessary)
3 you don't need the part between
*-- render the DOM back into an output stream/internal table
and
*-- print the whole DOM tree as a list...
Comment it out or simply delete it
4 Rename form print_node to your liking e.g. process_node
5 In your new form you need three extra variables:
data: attribs type ref to IF_IXML_NAMED_NODE_MAP,
      attrib_node type ref to IF_IXML_NODE,
      attrib_value type string.
6 After the lines:
when if_ixml_node=>co_node_element.
string = pNode->get_name( ).
Insert:
attribs = pNode->get_attributes( ).
clear attrib_value.
case string.
when ''. "put your XML tag name here
    attrib_node = attribs->get_named_item(name = '' ). "put your XML attribute name here
    attrib_value = attrib_node->get_value( ).

Function module to read xml files from application server

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..

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.

Aman

Parsing XML files from application server

I need to read an XML file from the application server. This can be done using OPEN DATASET in BINARY MODE and reading into internal table of type binary data.
But inorder to parse the document using the iXML library, i need to pass the filesize of the XML file that is read into internal table.

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?

Transfer a xml file from application server to another server using FTP

Hi experts,
I am stuck in this situtaion.
My interface generates a xml file on an application server.
Now i need to read the xml file generated and transfer it to another system using FTP.
I can use READ DATASET to read the file from the application server.
And use the below function modules to transfer it to another system
     HTTP_SCRAMBLE.
     FTP_CONNECT
     CONCATENATE 'put' src_file_dest into variable.
     FTP_COMMAND with command = variable.
     FTP_DISCONNECT.
Now my question is:
   - Is it correct????
   - I am getting an cerror = 3 while using FTP_CONNECT. is it an authorization issue???
     if yes, what is the issue???
   - How to connect the file read from READ DATASET to the FTP Function Modules ????
Thanks and Regards
Gaurav Raghav

Try the following set of FTP commands..
This code gets the file (NOT the content) from the server and sends it to the FTP.

Create XML file on application server (unix directory) from internal table

Hallo everybody,
I have got the following problem:
I am working with <u><b>release 4.6C</b></u> and have got to create XML files from HR master data and organizational data respectively.
This takes place in 3 steps:
1.     Collect the data in an internal table
2.     Convert the data to XML format using the function module 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT'
3.     Download the data
If I download the converted data, which are in an internal table, to the presentation server via the function module WS_DOWNLOAD and open it with the Internet Explorer, everything is ok.
If I download the converted data to the application server, i.e. into a unix directory via
open dataset, loop at internal table, transfer working area to file, close dataset
and then try to open it, this is not possible, because after the last tag some unreadable characters, e.g. a square, appear that arent supposed to be there. Thats what my colleagues told me, for I havent got access to the server.
I have no idea where these characters come from and how I can get rid of them. I guess that either I have to modify (how?) the table with the converted data before the download or I have to use another way to convert the data. For the second way I would probably have to work with an XML class or an XML interface. Unfortunately II am not an expert in working with classes so sample coding would have to be rather detailed.
Heres some more information about how I work with the conversion function module:
call function 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT'
       exporting
            i_field_seperator    = lv_field_seperator
           i_line_header        = lv_line_header
           i_filename           = lv_xml_file
           i_appl_keep          = ' '
            i_xml_doc_name       = lv_xml_doc_name
       importing
            pe_bin_filesize      = lv_result
       tables
            i_tab_sap_data       = gt_data
       changing
            i_tab_converted_data = lt_tab_converted_data
       exceptions
            conversion_failed    = 1
            others               = 2.
lv_field_seperator = X.
lv_xml_doc_name = Personalstammdaten Publikation
lv_result: type i
gt_data: fields: PERNR, PERSG, PERSK etc.
types:
begin of truxs_xml_line,
    data(256) type x,
end of truxs_xml_line.
types:
truxs_xml_table type table of truxs_xml_line.
data:
lv_tab_converted_data type truxs_xml_line,
lt_tab_converted_data type truxs_xml_table
open dataset lv_xml_file for output in binary mode.
loop at lt_tab_converted_data into lv_tab_converted_data.
transfer lv_tab_converted_data to lv_xml_file.
endloop.
close dataset lv_xml_file
lv_xml_file: /usr/users/.../.../Personendaten_2004-11-02.xml
Hope the information is detailed enough! Otherwise let me know. Thank you in advance.

Hi Raja,
tried the "TEXT" mode, but that didn't help.
There are still characters after the last tag, that are not supposed to be there including a date that is not
the creation date of the file.
Thank you for your help.

Write XML file in application server

Experts,
I'm using a transformation to generate a xml file:
CALL TRANSFORMATION zdatafechomes
SOURCE ficheiroexecucao = gt_source[]
RESULT XML xml_result.
It's working fine. But i'm having problems in putting the "xml_result" (it's a type xtring) into the application server.
Anyone knows how to do it ? Transaction cg3z it's different because the file comes from C:
Best Regards,
Mário.

Hello Mario
I do not see why the following logic should not work:
*& Report ZUS_SDN_XML_XSTRING_APPLSERVER
REPORT ZUS_SDN_XML_XSTRING_APPLSERVER.
DATA:
gd_dsn            type string,
gd_xstring        type xstring,
gt_kna1           type STANDARD TABLE OF kna1.
start-of-selection.
select * from kna1 into table gt_kna1 up to 10 rows.
BREAK-POINT.
call TRANSFORMATION id
    source itab = gt_kna1
    result xml = gd_xstring.
    gd_dsn = '/tmp/xml_as_xstring.file'.
    open DATASET gd_dsn for OUTPUT in BINARY MODE.
    check ( syst-subrc = 0 ).
    TRANSFER gd_xstring to gd_dsn.
    CLOSE DATASET gd_dsn.
end-of-SELECTION.

Uwe
