Generate XML/XSD from BAPI using ABAP code

Former Member — Tue, 08 Dec 2015 12:07:29 GMT

Hi All,

I need to generate XSDs describing an ABAP function (the interface) using ABAP code. The output should be a valid XSD document containing all the parameters (input, export, ...) including the data types (string, integer, ...). Is there anything available which I can use or do I need to write everything from scratch?

Thanks

Konrad

You may want to explore FMs under Function group SDIXML.

SAP uses SDIXML_IDOC_TO_SCHEMA to generate the xsd for Idoc . Your requirement might be different.

Have a look specially SDIXML_SCHEMA_CREATE and SDIXML_SCHEMA_ELEMENT_CREATE.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. I already found these function modules but I do not know how to use them. How can I get the XSD lets say as a string which I can then write to disc or give back to the calling function?!

I tried e. g. SDIXML_FULI_TO_SCHEMA with BAPI_MATERIAL_GETALL as input but I cannot use the exports "ELEMENT" and "ELEMENTS" as I'm used to.

Do you have an example for me?

Thanks a lot!

Konrad
