XML validation in ABAP
Hello all,
Need a little help,
I have implemeted a program which creates an XML file after an DTD(eq. BMEcat).
How a validation can be implemented in this report which check if the XML file is well formed after the DTD?
To mention that for creating the XML I used DOM from interface repository and the R/3 version is 4.6 C.
Thank you very much!
Bogdan
p.s. sorry for my english!
Hi Bogdan!
To my knowledge SAP only supports DTD validation as of version 6.x - but I might be wrong there.
Under V6.x you can use the method set_validating of the IF_IXML_PARSER interface to turn validation on/off. The document is then checked against your DTD.
I always use an internal DTD (one contained in the XML document) and haven't tried using external DTDs (linked externally) yet - so I don't know if those work.
Hope that helps (please reward me if it does

Create XML file from ABAP with SOAP Details
Hi,
I am new to XML and I am not familiar with JAVA or Web Service. I have searched in SDN and googled for a sample program for creating XML document from ABAP with SOAP details. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything.
I have a requirement for creating an XML file from ABAP with SOAP details. I have the data in the internal table. There is a Schema which the client provided and the file generated from SAP should be validating against that Schema. Schema contains SOAP details like Envelope, Header & Body.
My question is can I generate the XML file using CALL TRANSFORMATION in SAP with the SOAP details?
I have tried to create Transformation (Transaction XSLT_TOOL) in SAP with below code. Also in CALL transformation I am not able to change the encoding to UTF-8. It's always show UTF-16.
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<SOAP:Envelope xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP:Header>
<CUNS:HeaderInfo>
<CUNS:InterfaceTypeId>10006</InterfaceTypeId>
<CUNS:BusinessPartnerID>11223344</BusinessPartnerID>
<CUNS:SchemaVersion>1.0</SchemaVersion>
<CUNS:DateTime>sy-datum</DateTime>
</CUNS:HeaderInfo>
</SOAP:Header>
<SOAP:Body>
<xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
</SOAP:Body>
</SOAP:Envelope>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
In ABAP program, I have written below code for calling above Transformation.
call transformation ('Z_ID')
source tab = im_t_output[]
result xml xml_out.
call function 'SCMS_STRING_TO_FTEXT'
exporting
text = xml_out
tables
ftext_tab = ex_t_xml_data.
Please help me how to generate XML file with SOAP details from ABAP. If anybody have a sample program, please share with me.
Is there any easy way to create the XML file in CALL Transformation. Please help.
ThanksTry ABAP forum, as it seems not to be PI related.

XML Validation: ignore non-XML-Header in XML-file(payload): any solutions?
Dear Experts,
after I finally managed to configure the XML Validation, we're facing the next problem:
The payload of the XML files looks like that:
Abcdef#ABCDEF
AbcDef#123
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Document xmlns.....
as you can see, there's a header which is necessary. The XML Validation works fine if the header is removed manually for testing. If the header is not removed, the validation is not possible ("Content is not allowed in prolog.")
Is it possible to realise the validation WITH that header? Can I tell SAP PI to ignore the header? Or make any changes to the XSD file?
Thanks alot!Hi Armin,
Armin Kern wrote:
> After leaving SAP PI, those 2 lines have to be in that exact place (before the XML part) for further processing. Just deleting it wouldn't be enought. Does the complex design you mentioned complay with this requirement?
You can put it into the message instead of deleting. And rebuild the "header" in the second step. So you can fullfill the requirement. As mentioned before: The design is complex, this will lead later on to problems. Any change will be difficult, as another developer had to read a long documentation.
An alternative would be to do all with one interface mapping (without validation):
1. ABAP / Java mapping deleting the "header" (put it to memory)
2. Messges Mapping 1:1 each field (will fail in case of wrong format and act as validator)
3. ABAP / Java mapping restoring the header
4. Alert will be raised in case of an error (to get the result of the validation)
Armin Kern wrote:
> I also thought about splitting the message, deleting those 2 rows in one of the messages, sending this one message to PI again, validate it and if it is correct, send the second message (without mapping) to the final destination. No idea if that is possible at all..
As well possible. You would need a virtual receiver for the first message, which is sending back a response. For example a servlett, a proxy or a RFC module. In that design you put some logic to the sender, what is actually not bad. But if you do so, why you dont validate there as well (for example with Java)? It would make your design much easier..

Hi All,
I validated a XML document using Schematron validation, but its not throwing any errors if there is any mismatch between source document and validation document.
Source Structure:
OrderStats 1
Order 1...unbounded
id
value
id and value are attributes of Order
Validation Code:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<schema xmlns="http://www.ascc.net/xml/schematron">
<title>OrderStats Schema</title>
<ns uri="http://applicon.dk/teched/06/tns" prefix="ns0"/>
<pattern name="Root">
<rule context="ns0:OrderStats">
<assert test="Order">No Orders</assert>
</rule>
</pattern>
<pattern name ="Order">
<rule context="Order">
<assert test="@id">No Order id</assert>
<assert test="@val">No Order Value</assert>
</rule>
</pattern>
</schema>
I used XSLT mapping, in that i called this Validation template..but if the source document contains wrong tag names or incorrect value it should throw some error..but i am not getting any error based on validation code..
Can anyone suggest some solution for this type of validation
Regards,
PrakashHi there,
as far as I know there is no integrated Schematron validator neither in XI noch in the Netweaver Application Server.
I'm using an XSLT implementation for schematron: The XSLT programm http://xml.ascc.net/schematron/1.5/skeleton1-5.xsl transforms a schematron schema to an XSLT program, which can validate any XML document according to the schematron schema.
You can read it in my blog: /people/tobias.trapp/blog/2006/08/22/xml-processing-in-abap-part-8--using-xslt-for-validation .
Of course there are Schematron Java APIs, for example http://www2.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~obecker/SchematronAPI/ but I think it is still incomplete.
I'm using a simple XML editor to create schematron schemas. If you have further questions about tools like Stylus Studio I recommend to ask them on a special mailing list.
Cheers
Tobias

Java.lang.Exception error during XML validation by Integration Engine
Hi professionals,
We are trying to use XML validation by the Integration Engine.
Step 1:
We created an appropriate directory structure where we had to store the structure (xsd).
\usr\sap\<system id>\SYS\global\xi\runtime_server\A\B\C\D\E\F
A - validation
B - schema
C - GUID of the SWCV where service interface reside.
D - Repository Namespace where Service Interface is created.
E - Service Interface Name
F - Repository Namespace where Message Type or External Definition is
assigned.
Step 2:
We also changed the references in the xsd to exclude all the subdirectory references.
e.g folder1/folder2/abc.xsd is become abc.xsd only
Step 3:
We stored both xsdu2019s (schema xsd and referenced xsd to the directory created in step 1)
Step 4:
We changed the directory and xsdu2019s permissions to 777 (we chose 777 for testing purpose).
Step 5:
We changed the property schema validation of the sender agreement to Validation by Integration Engine.
Step 6:
We checked RFC destination for AI_VALIDATION_JCOSERVER on AS ABAP and AS Java and establish an successful connection test.
RESTULTS
The result of those steps is an error message in the message monitor of PI with the error tekst:
<SAP:Error xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="">

Please assist in how to solve this issueu2026.
Regards, Sjaak.I would suggest follow Appendix A to know the exact path and since you have one XSD referring other XSD check the steps mentioned in Appendix B .... there seems to be some error in referencing ...Appendix A and B are on page 12 & 13 of this document:

Hi experts,
I get the following error message in SXMB_MONI while processing a message through a WS sender adapter:

</ChainedException>
</ns:SystemFault>
</detail>
</n0:Fault>
This is strange, because I didn't configure any XML validation. I didn't configure that explicitly.
However, I noticed that the step "XML Validation Inbound Channel Request ( CENTRAL )" is executed every time I send messages to PI. Normally this is successful, so the message flow is not interrupted. But even in the successful case the xml header is always cut off (so the line "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>" in the beginning). I checked other messages with different adapters, and this step is never executed.
I would like to know whether this step can be switched off somewhere or whether it is performed by default. Does anybody know more about this topic?
Best regards,
JörgHi Hema,
As per understanding you need to check one or few fields value is integer or not.
You can achieve in 2 ways :
Case1:Using inbuilt xml validation options.
For 7.11 and below
1)In ESR/Message type/Export the xsd to local machine.
2)Insert the xsd file in the below loc
/usr/sap/<sid>/DVEBMGS00/j2ee/cluster/server0/validation/schema/
<guid>/<namespace1>/<service_interface_name>/<namespace2>
<sid>: System ID of the server instance.
<guid>: The GUID of the SWCV.
<namespace1> : The namespace within which the service interface is defined.
<service_interface_name> : The name of the service interface.
<namespace2>
: The namespace of the Message Type used by the service interface. In many
instances, namespace1 and namespace2 are the same.
Italic path folders need to create by you.
For 7.3 and above

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.

Not able to prompt errors.
Hi,
Your error message are not displaying because u does not made Message-Resoucrce property file (Resource Bundle) when you make it .
give it entry in
struts-config.xml
<message-resources parameter="ApplicationResources" />
and
define key and corresponding error message to key in this ApplicationResources i.e
#Error Resources
label.search.ssNum=Plz Enter correct ssNum -
XML validation error while parsing MXI Manifest
Hi,
I have created an hybrid extension for Photoshop. I want to upload my extension on Adobe Exchange. during the upload process I get an error,
"XML validation error while parsing MXI Manifest: Declarations can only occur in the doctype declaration. Line: 19 Position: 791 Last 80 unconsumed characters".
The error description specifies that description in MXI file is not valid. Below are the contents of my MXI file.

Can anyone please point out why am I getting the error?
ThanksHi CarlSun,
Thanks for the reply. I have made the changes suggested by you.
I have few queries:
1. Can we use attribute "source" in the description tag?
I have created a local html page and specified it in source attribute. but the Extension Manager CS6 did not render the local html page and displayed the following:
No description avaliable. Click the following link for more details.
"http://www.abcd.html". Is it possible to display a local html page in Extension Manager CS6?
2. Can I display an image (png) in CDATA under description tag? If yes, then can you please guide me how can I do so?
3. As suggested in tech notes MXI file must include UTF-8 encoding as header (<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>). The MXI I am using does not have this header. Do I need to include the header?
Thanks -

There is someone can help.
The fields is type string and the value is :

i use the call transformation code and there i put this code:
<?sap.transform simple?>
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">

Transforming XML File to abap structure
Hello,
I am working in a new project for making an input interface.
The problem to resolv is :
1>Reading an XML file on a unix Server
2>Transforming this file in abap structure with the instruction
call transformation.
Format of the input file :
<LISTEART>
<ART code="A01" label="Designation A01"/>
<ART code="A02" label="Designation A02"/>
<ART code="A03" label="Designation A03"/>
<ART code="A04" label="Designation A04"/>
<ART code="A05" label="Designation A05"/>
</LISTEART>
Format of the abap structure :
DATA : BEGIN OF ws_art,
code(4) TYPE c,
label(3) TYPE c,
END OF ws_art.
DATA : wt_art LIKE ws_art OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
is it possible to transform the input file to an internal table
with the call transformation ?
CALL TRANSFORMATION transfo
SOURCE XML xml_string
RESULT para = result.
Somebody can explain me how to create links between xml file
and abap structure ?
