Hi Experts,

I have a requirement to upload XML data from a web url into SAP.

Can anyone help me on this with sample code?

I need to upload data from an xml file that is in a web page into SAP internal table.

Kindly help at the earliest.

Hello.

Are you using a SAP XI (Exchange Infrasctructure)? If so, it's easy, just create an inbound proxy, using a XSD file, containing the structure of the XML files you'll get.

If not, you must create a transformation (XSLT) and in your report, use comand CALL transformation, and that will convert the content to an internal table in SAP.

Best regards.

Hello again.

First of all you must create a transformation (transaction STRANS or SE80). There you'll get some examples. I must say that it's not easy the first time.

After that, the ABAP part it's simple, just use a statement like this:

CALL TRANSFORMATION (your transformation)
   SOURCE XML (a structure with your xml) 
   RESULT result = (your internal table).

This works in the oposite way, i.e, transform internal table in a XML file.

Best regards.

data: http_client type ref to if_http_client .
data: xml_out type string  .

call method cl_http_client=>create_by_url
    exporting
      url           = 'http://www.abc.com/rss.xml'
    importing
      client        = http_client.

http_client->send( ).
  http_client->receive( ).
  clear xml_out .
  xml_out = http_client->response->get_cdata( ).
  http_client->close( ).

now you have to use your custom XSLT program to convert the xml_out into internal table

or alternatively you can use FM SMUM_XML_PARSE to read the name value pairs from the xml

and then map them to your itab.
