Strans - Optional Transform templates

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus!

I am new to transformations and I am having an issue that's revealing to be to mutch for me.

<?sap.transform simple?>
 <tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates" 
               xmlns:ddic="http://www.sap.com/abapxml/types/dictionary" 
               xmlns:def="http://www.sap.com/abapxml/types/defined" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

               xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.001.001.03">

   <tt:root name="DOCUMENT" type="ddic:Z3FI_SEPA"/>
   <tt:template>
     <DOCUMENT>

Line 5 has an attribute with a literal value. This attribute is there because a version of XML file that I am trying to deserialize has this atribute in his <DOCUMENT> element:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Document xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.001.001.03" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
 <CstmrCdtTrfInitn>

Now I need to deserialize another document that is almost the same (with some additional non obligatory fields) but wiht atribute xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.008.003.02".

Is there a way to remove/discard/ignore this attribute?

Thank you guys!

Best regards,

Carlos

Hi Carlos,

maybe you can move the xmlns attribute to the DOCUMENT tag and use

tt:cond frq="?" to conditionally use one of them, like:

<tt:template>

<tt:group>

     <tt.cond frq="?">

               <Document xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.001.001.03">......

     </tt.cond>

     <tt.cond frq="?">

               <Document xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.001.001.02">......

     </tt.cond>

</tt:group>

</tt:template>

I'm almost sure it won't work because it's a different attribute and not a different tag, but you might try it.

Other thing that should work is a tt:lax="on" but it surely won't.

Anyway I can't try and confirm it now, but you might.

regards,

Edgar
