Request XML data using XSL from XI to RFC is not sent

[Former Member]

I have an issue with sending an XML payload from XI to a RFC program module(Z_PI_XML_INTERNAL_END_POINT)

(A) It can be sent successfully within a <![CDATA[ ... ]]> section to RFC like

=========================================

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" omit-xml-declaration="no" standalone="no" indent="yes" />

<xsl:template match="/">

<ns1:Z_PI_XML_INTERNAL_END_POINT xmlns:ns1="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">

<XMLDATA_IN>

*<![CDATA[*

*<xsl:copy-of select="." />*

*]]>*

</XMLDATA_IN>

</ns1:Z_PI_XML_INTERNAL_END_POINT>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

From SXMB_MONI the XML REQUEST Message looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<ns1:Z_PI_XML_INTERNAL_END_POINT xmlns:ns1="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">

<XMLDATA_IN><xsl:copy-of select="*"/></XMLDATA_IN>

</ns1:Z_PI_XML_INTERNAL_END_POINT>

*and, I GET A SUCCESSFUL RESPONSE MESSAGE LIKE*

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<ns1:mt_PunchOut_string xmlns:ns1="urn:linde.com:xi:A_B2B_SP:xCBLIDOC">

<xmldata><xsl:copy-of select="*"/></xmldata>

</ns1:mt_PunchOut_string>

=====================================================================

*(B) BUT if the XSL is written as:*

===================================================================

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" omit-xml-declaration="no" standalone="no" indent="yes" />

<xsl:template match="/">

<ns1:Z_PI_XML_INTERNAL_END_POINT xmlns:ns1="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">

<XMLDATA_IN>

*<xsl:copy-of select="." />*

</XMLDATA_IN>

</ns1:Z_PI_XML_INTERNAL_END_POINT>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

===========================================================

*SXMB_MONI shows the XML REQUEST Message like:*

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<ns1:Z_PI_XML_INTERNAL_END_POINT xmlns:ns1="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">

<XMLDATA_IN>

<Header>

<From>

<Credential domain="DUNS">

<Identity>750204999</Identity>

</Credential>

</Header>

<Message>

</Message>

</cXML>

*and, I GET A FAILURE RESPONSE MESSAGE LIKE*

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<!-- Inbound Message -->

Questions

a. Why is the RFC unable to read it.

b. Is the XSL coding right with RFC. Otherwise what is the correct XSL to display the XML payload

Any suggestions is greattly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hi David,

Please check your input XML message format to make sure it's valid. From what you posted it looks like the <From> node is missing the closing </From> tag. Two other closing tags are missing from your example </XMLDATA_IN> </ns1:Z_PI_XML_INTERNAL_END_POINT>, but I assume those are there given the XSL you posted.

Thanks,

Russ, my apologies, your assertion is correct. I did a bad job trying to 'cut and paste' the request message and changing the identities (for privacy) but failed miserably. Your discovery is very helpful. Thanks

Here is the REQUEST (for B) but with adulteration to the identities.
