Error Call transformation The ref-node is not defined or does not have the required type

[marcosch]

Hello expoerts

I have e problem with the deserialization of a xml file.

during the call transformation, the error in the title occurs when it is readeing a attribute.

the xml file looks like this:

The simple transformation that i have created look like this:

I didnt found a solution to read the attribute "storno" which is written in the tag absence which is a internal table.

The generated structure of the internal table type is following:

Where i do the mistake? I dont see it.

Many thanks for helping!

Best regards

I found the error. The error occurs because I wrote storno in lowercase. I changed it now to

<tt:attribute name="STORNO" value-ref="STORNO"/>

But now I get the error

Expected was attribute: "STORNO" [ ] Element start: "absence" was read

Does have anybody a solution?

Why are you looping inside "absence"? There should be no loop, as its inner elements (one attribute, 4 elements) occur once only. You seem to have added the <loop> below the multi-occurrence element, instead of before (is <absenceData> really a multi-occurrence element?). Note that for <personAbsence> you correctly added the <loop> above it.

PS: for all transformation questions, don't forget to provide these 3 parts: XML, the transformation, AND the **structure of the ABAP data** (and those based on a DDIC type, you may provide a screen shot of the "Hierarchy", there's a dedicated button in SE11).

Hi Sandra

Thank you for your suggestions. The Problem is that "absence" is declared as table type in DDIC:

So I have to loop over it. Or is there a mistake in this structure? Do I have to declare it as "line"?

The serealization of the data with this strukture is working and give the xml like shown in the first post, because a personnell number can have more than one absence.

Thanky you!

I changed now the "absence" from internal table to a structure. But I am getting the same dump with error

Expected was attribute: "STORNO" [ ] Element start: "absence" was read

The structure looks now like this:

I commented out the loop in the transformation:

You still don't understand what I said : put the <loop> at the right place.

<tt:loop ref="PERSON_ABSENCE.ABSENCE_DATA">
  <uka:absenceData>
    <uka:absence>
      <tt:attribute name="STORNO"...

Hi Sandra

Thank you for your comment. I will place the Code with the button "CODE" in further posts.

I found the solution. I wrote "STORNO" in upper casese. When I write it in lower case everything works correctly. So the loop is at the right place I think.

Thank you!

I also faced the same issue and changed it to lower case and it worked.Thanks.
