XML files ??

Hi Apple Land
I have a mac book pro, one of the pieces of software I use has a button which then downloads an XML file.
When this happens it saves it as a web location and not an XML file, when I use windows 7 laptop it works fine, any ideas
I need this file to upload to another piece of software, and it only allows XML files
Please help me
Cheers
Marc

  • Issue in Creation of XML file from ABAP data

    Hi,
    I need to create a XML file, but am not facing some issues in creation of XML file, the in the required format.
    The required format is
    -<Header1 1st field= u201CValueu201D 2nd field= u201CValueu201D>
       - <Header2 1st field= u201CValueu201D 2nd field= u201CValueu201Du2026u2026. Upto 10 fields>
              <Header3 1st field= u201CValueu201D 2nd field= u201CValueu201Du2026u2026. Upto 6 fields/>
              <Header4  1st field= u201CValueu201D 2nd field= u201CValueu201Du2026u2026. Upto 4 fields/.>
               <Header5 1st field= u201CValueu201D 2nd field= u201CValueu201Du2026u2026. Upto 6 fields/>
          </Header2>
       </Header1>
    Iu2019m using the call transformation to convert ABAP data to XML file.
    So please anybody can help how to define XML structure in transaction XSLT_TOOL.
    And one more thing, here I need to put the condition to display the Header 3, Header 4, Header 5 values. If there is no record for a particular line item in header 3, 4 & 5, I donu2019t want to display full line items; this is only for Header 3, 4 & 5.
    Please help me in this to get it resolved.

    Hello,
    you can use CALL TRANSFORMATION id, which will create a exact "print" of the ABAP data into the XML.
    If you need to change the structure of XML, you can alter your ABAP structure to match the requirements.
    Of course you can create your own XSLT but that is not that easy to describe and nobody will do that for you around here. If you would like to start with XSLT, you´d better start the search.

  • "Build.xml file not exist"

    Hey Guys,
    i am currently involving in a servelet project (RendreX). i want to install apachi ant as a prerequirement. i am using windows 2003 server. I already downloded latest ant version and apache tomcat4.0. Also i have set all the class path,ANT-HOME(C:\ANT) and other relevent paths. But when i run ant command in the command prompt(C:\ANT>ant)will generate error state that "build.xml" file can't be found. Have i done any wrong thing here? Can anybody give a way that i can easily install apache ant on winows.
    It would be greatly appriciated if u can send me some advice to over come this problem.
    Best Regards

    build.xml is the default build file assumed by ant. You have to provide a build file to control what you expect from ant to do.

  • XML publisher report not generating output for huge XML files

    Changed Depreciation Projections Report output type to XML.
    Defined a Data Definition and a new Data Template (RTF) for this report.
    Ran the Depreciation Projection Report to generate the XML output.
    Ran the XML Report Publisher report to generate teh PDF/Excel output of the above report.
    Output generated for smaller XML files. When XML size is big, the program is running for hours without generating the output.
    Teh RTF template is basically a matrix report in which the number of columns in the report is based on the number of periods the report is run for.
    The same is not working in the Desktop version also. The system is hanging when i try to view the preview pdf.
    The XML file size is approximately 33 MB.
    Please let me know if there is any way we can increase the memory size to see the output.
    Thanks,

  • Have found multiple iTunes Library.xml files. Moved Library to new Hard Drive and it needs to be completely rebuilt?

    Hello. I have a Mac Mini operating Mac OS X 10.7.2. I recently had to move my iTunes Library to a new hard drive. I followed the directions on how to move the library and refind everything yet when I do so what comes up is a mere skeleton of what I had. I have had to hunt down my purchased Apps, Music and Movies and re-add them to the library. I also noticed in doing this I have multiple iTunes Library.xml files ... shouldn't there only be one?  If so how do I clean this up without doing any accidental damage (i.e. how do I find the one that is being used and delete the rest?)?  If I delete the others is there any risk of losing purchased content? Lastly syncing my iPads has become a nightmare as I get the "This iPad is currently synced to another iTunes library" message. Obviously something

    It's hard for me to picture the exact situation. It sounds like you still have your library file on the internal but some files on the external, and maybe some on the internal, some of which are in the library and others not...  By re-adding things after consolidating it may have made things into a hodge-podge. Yes, that article you referenced says: "iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder"with Media Folder being the emphasis.  You probably should have just moved your whole iTunes folder.  Still, moving the media folder as instructed should not have messed up the library.  Did you make the mistake of starting up iTunes before the external drive had mounted fully and it then told you it couldn't find many files?  How you proceed to sort it out will depend upon how much time you want to spend and how important things such as ratings and playcount are to you.  I have not actually used the consolidate feature across different drives myself (and don't feel inclined to do so here to test ).
    If you are in the USA you can download some previous purhcases with iCloud, but not all.
    Here's a bit on what an iTunes folder should look like:
    What are the iTunes library files? - [http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660]
    More on iTunes library files and what they do - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes#Media_management]
    Library files with graphic and explanation of different iTunes versions - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=13169517
    Once you get iTunes working off the external drive it should just put new media to the external when you add it.
    I have almost no experience with synching (I synched my neice's iPod, once, about 4 years ago).

  • XML file from Logic - can i open in STP

    i had a professional do sound design for me. he put all of the actual sound files on my hard drive and also gave me an XML file, which he said i could open in FCP and all of my sound would line up in it's own tracks.
    does anyone know how i can open this XML into a soundtrack pro multritrack project?
    or do i have to get it to work first in FCP then export as a multitrack?
    thanks!
    keith

    You might have tried by this time . . . but, yes. Just do an "open" from within STP, find the file, and it should open.

    Hi,
    What are you trying to achieve with a single WITH clause and no SELECT?
    Please see this from the documentation if you want to use it properly :
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_10002.htm#i2077142
    Apart from its true purpose of subquery factoring, the WITH clause is often use here and there to simulate a table content, but you'll always need a SELECT.
    Maybe that's what you were trying to do?
    As for your question, starting with release 10.2, Oracle provides XMLTable to shred XML documents into relational structures.
    For example,
    with t as (
    select xmltype('<Message-Header>
    <Message-Id>1234</Message-Id>
    <Sender-Company-ID>4569</Sender-Company-ID>
    <Sender-Company-Name>abc company</Sender-Company-Name>
    <Sender-User-ID>AA</Sender-User-ID>
    <Recv-Company-ID>050</Recv-Company-ID>
    <Recv-Company-Name>XYZ pvt.ltd</Recv-Company-Name>
    <Creation-Time>20101019 15:59:39</Creation-Time>
    </Message-Header>') as xml from dual
    select x.*
    from t,
         XMLTable(
          '/Message-Header'
          passing t.xml
          columns
            message_id          number       path 'Message-Id',
            sender_company_id   number       path 'Sender-Company-ID',
            sender_company_name varchar2(30) path 'Sender-Company-Name',
            sender_user_id      varchar2(30) path 'Sender-User-ID',
            recv_company_id     varchar2(30) path 'Recv-Company-ID',
            recv_company_name   varchar2(30) path 'Recv-Company-Name',
            creation_time       varchar2(30) path 'Creation-Time'
         ) x
    ;If you're working in PL/SQL, and the XML resides in a variable, you can directly do (with necessary datatype conversion in the SELECT) :
    insert into your_table ( <your_columns_list> )
    select <your_columns_list>
    from XMLTable(
          '/Message-Header'
          passing your_xml_var
          columns
            message_id          number       path 'Message-Id',
            sender_company_id   number       path 'Sender-Company-ID',
            sender_company_name varchar2(30) path 'Sender-Company-Name',
            sender_user_id      varchar2(30) path 'Sender-User-ID',
            recv_company_id     varchar2(30) path 'Recv-Company-ID',

  • Simple Transformation to deserialize an XML file into ABAP data structures?

    I'm attempting to write my first simple transformation to deserialize
    an XML file into ABAP data structures and I have a few questions.
    My simple transformation contains code like the following
    <tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates"
                  xmlns:pp="http://www.sap.com/abapxml/types/defined" >
    <tt:type name="REPORT" line-type="?">
      <tt:node name="COMPANY_ID" type="C" length="10" />
      <tt:node name="JOB_ID" type="C" length="20" />
      <tt:node name="TYPE_CSV" type="C" length="1" />
      <tt:node name="TYPE_XLS" type="C" length="1" />
      <tt:node name="TYPE_PDF" type="C" length="1" />
      <tt:node name="IS_NEW" type="C" length="1" />
    </tt:type>
    <tt:root name="ROOT2" type="pp:REPORT" />
        <QueryResponse>
        <tt:loop ref="ROOT2" name="line">
          <QueryResponseRow>
            <CompanyID>
              <tt:value ref="$line.COMPANY_ID" />
            </CompanyID>
            <JobID>
              <tt:value ref="$line.JOB_ID" />
            </JobID>
            <ExportTypes>
              <tt:loop>
                <ExportType>
                   I don't know what to do here (see item 3, below)
                </ExportType>
              </tt:loop>
            </ExportTypes>
            <IsNew>
              <tt:value ref="$line.IS_NEW"
              map="val(' ') = xml('false'), val('X') = xml('true')" />
            </IsNew>
          </QueryResponseRow>
          </tt:loop>
        </QueryResponse>
        </tt:loop>
    1. In a DTD, an element can be designated as occurring zero or one
    time, zero or more times, or one or more times. How do I write the
    simple transformation to accommodate these possibilities?
    2. In trying to accommodate the "zero or more times" case, I am trying
    to use the <tt:loop> instruction. It occurs several layers deep in the
    XML hierarchy, but at the top level of the ABAP table. The internal
    table has a structure defined in the ABAP program, not in the data
    dictionary. In the simple transformation, I used <tt:type> and
    <tt:node> to define the structure of the internal table and then
    tried to use <tt:loop ref="ROOT2" name="line"> around the subtree that
    can occur zero or more times. But every variation I try seems to get
    different errors. Can anyone supply a working example of this?
    3. Among the fields in the internal table, I've defined three
    one-character fields named TYPE_CSV, TYPE_XLS, and TYPE_PDF. In the
    XML file, I expect zero to three elements of the form
    <ExportType exporttype='csv' />
    <ExportType exporttype='xls' />
    <ExportType exporttype='pdf' />
    I want to set field TYPE_CSV = 'X' if I find an ExportType element
    with its exporttype attribute set to 'csv'. I want to set field
    TYPE_XLS = 'X' if I find an ExportType element with its exporttype
    attribute set to 'xls'. I want to set field TYPE_PDF = 'X' if I find
    an ExportType element with its exporttype attribute set to 'pdf'. How
    can I do that?
    4. For an element that has a value like
    <ErrorCode>123</ErrorCode>
    in the simple transformation, the sequence
    <ErrorCode>  <tt:value ref="ROOT1.CODE" />  </ErrorCode>
    seems to work just fine.
    I have other situations where the XML reads
    <IsNew value='true' />
    I wanted to write
    <IsNew>
            <tt:value ref="$line.IS_NEW"
            map="val(' ') = xml('false'), val('X') = xml('true')" />
           </IsNew>
    but I'm afraid that the <tt:value> fails to deal with the fact that in
    the XML file the value is being passed as the value of an attribute
    (named "value"), rather than the value of the element itself. How do
    you handle this?

    Try this code below:
    data  l_xml_table2  type table of xml_line with header line.
    W_filename - This is a Path.
      if w_filename(02) = '
        open dataset w_filename for output in binary mode.
        if sy-subrc = 0.
          l_xml_table2[] = l_xml_table[].
          loop at l_xml_table2.
            transfer l_xml_table2 to w_filename.
          endloop.
        endif.
        close dataset w_filename.
      else.
        call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
          exporting
            bin_filesize = l_xml_size
            filename     = w_filename
            filetype     = 'BIN'
          changing
            data_tab     = l_xml_table
          exceptions
            others       = 24.
        if sy-subrc <> 0.
          message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
                     with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
        endif.

    with dataservice 4.0, I want to create an XML file from a table data.
    Table have a single column but more record, for example:
    0001000488;100;EUR;
    0001000489;200;EUR;
    0001000450;300;EUR;
    My desired XML output:
    <Data>
      0001000488;100;GBP;
      0001000489;200;EUR;
      0001000450;300;EUR;
    </Data>
    I try with a sample query but the sistem write only the last record in XML file:
    <Data>
      0001000450;300;EUR;
    </Data>
    Can everyone help me?
    Thank in advance.

    Hello
    That is a very simple (also odd) XML document structure, and as such doesn't require use of the XML target.  It can be easily acheived by writing a normal file with a header and footer, which is acheived using a row_generation and a query to generate the hard coded open and close tags.

  • Can we do a Secure FTP for an XML file from ABAP when firewall is enabled?

    Hi all,
    I have a requirement to send an XML file to an External FTP Server which is out of our corporate network and our firewall is enabled.
    I have to send an XML file with Purchase Order details. I completed that with the help of this blog https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/2657. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
    Now I need to FTP the XML file that is generated. How should I be doing this? Can some of help me with this?
    I need to do a Secure FTP to the external non SAP server which is out of our corporate network and our firewall is enabled. Can some one tell me if SFTP is possible in ABAP.
    This is not a web service. I am working on dropping an XML file in an external FTP serveru2026 I have searched the forums but still in a confusion if weather Secure FTP is possible in ABAP  or not when our company firewall is enabledu2026
    If some one encountered this situation earlier please help,,,..any help will be highly appreciated.

    Thanks a lot for your valuable suggestions Richu2026
    I agree with you Rich that web services would be a better option. But I need to send this file to an external third party and they dont have web services.
    They are telling us that either we can send them an XML file or a CSV file in the format that they want. We decided to go with XML file format.
    I am done with formatting the Purchase Order details in the format that they want. Now the challenge is that I need to send this FTP file to them and it should be a Secure FTP when our fire wall is enabled,
    When you say
    1) Run an ABAP program to generate the XML file and put it on the local PC
    2) Log into the FTP site via some FTP client, could simply be windows as well.
    3) Manually cut/paste the file from the PC to the FTP site.
    For Step 1 running ABAP Program can I schedule a batch job?
    For Step 2 and Step 3 can I automate it in any other way..if not in ABAP?
    Can I advice my company to follow any alternate method in which they can automate this step 2 and step 3u2026if not in ABAP can it be possible in any other way as the third party does not have web services I now have no other alternative.
    Please Helpu2026

  • Anyone know how to output an XML file from ABAP to a non sapgui location?

    I have a program that creates XML and then outputs a file via CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download. But now I want to execute the program in background mode and therefore I need to be able to output that XML to a NON sapgui file location. Current code creates the XML to an internal table which is binary then the gui_download method converts that to output XML. .  Does anyone know how I can change the code to either a) output the XML to an internal table which can be output via, say, a TRANSFER command..or, b) output the created binary table of XML to a NON sapgui file location?
    Excerpts from current code are as follows:
    first the XML is created (to the binary file)
          Creating a ixml factory
      l_ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ).
          Creating the dom object model
      l_document = l_ixml->create_document( ).
          Fill root node with value XML
      l_element_xml  = l_document->create_simple_element(
                  name = 'XML'
                  parent = l_document ).
          Create tag 'HEADER' as child of 'XML'
      l_element_header  = l_document->create_simple_element(
                  name = 'HEADER'
                  parent = l_element_xml  ).
    header information about the file and general data about the fleet follows
      l_value = c_fleet_import.
      l_element_dummy  = l_document->create_simple_element(
                name = 'TYPE'
                value = l_value
                parent = l_element_header ).
    etc.......
    then the xml is connected to the stream factory and rendered
      Creating a stream factory
      l_streamfactory = l_ixml->create_stream_factory( ).
      Connect internal XML table to stream factory
      l_ostream = l_streamfactory->create_ostream_itable( table = l_xml_table ).
      Rendering the document
      l_renderer = l_ixml->create_renderer( ostream  = l_ostream
                                            document = l_document ).
      l_rc = l_renderer->render( ).
      Saving the XML document
      l_xml_size = l_ostream->get_num_written_raw( ).
    and then output to the file
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
           EXPORTING
             bin_filesize = l_xml_size
            filename     = 'g:\sapdms\BSCC-DEV\EFPAC XML Files\ALL.xml'
           filename     = '/TRICK/727/OUT/ZEFP/EFPAC.XML' "doesnt work with sap gui
             filetype     = 'BIN'
           CHANGING
             data_tab     = l_xml_table
           EXCEPTIONS
             OTHERS       = 24.
    as implied by the comments the method above will successfully output the XML file to the g:drive but will not output to /TRICK/ location, which is where I need it to go in a background mode run.
    This is a problem which has defeated all our local expertise and I would appreciate any help given... Barry Jones

    Try this code below:
    data  l_xml_table2  type table of xml_line with header line.
    W_filename - This is a Path.
      if w_filename(02) = '
        open dataset w_filename for output in binary mode.
        if sy-subrc = 0.
          l_xml_table2[] = l_xml_table[].
          loop at l_xml_table2.
            transfer l_xml_table2 to w_filename.
          endloop.
        endif.
        close dataset w_filename.
      else.
        call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
          exporting
            bin_filesize = l_xml_size
            filename     = w_filename
            filetype     = 'BIN'
          changing
            data_tab     = l_xml_table
          exceptions
            others       = 24.
        if sy-subrc <> 0.
          message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
                     with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
        endif.
