How to ignore DTD in mapping

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am working on a File-To-WebService scenario, XI pulls the XML file through File Adapter to transfrom and submit to Web Service.

The sender XML file has DTD ref in it which XI mapping is adbonding since the DTD file is not available at the time of mapping.

<b>XML File:</b>

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!DOCTYPE Orders SYSTEM "OrdersVali.dtd">

Can you let me know the way to ignore the DTD ref in XI graphical mapping.

Thanks

What if you write Java/ABAP Mapping instead of Graphical Mapping?

If you don't parse the XML in the mapping program, it shouldn't bother about the DTD Ref.

Hi Srinivasa,

like Puloma mentioned use a ABAP or Java mapping, where you control parsing. For example ABAP.

FM ECATT_CONV_XSTRING_TO_STRING to convert input to string and ECATT_CONV_STRING_TO_XSTRING for convert string to output. In the middle avoid time intensive parsing, just use ABAP REPLACE to fix the bug.

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

There is an SAP note for this <b>812966</b>, we can strip off the DTD ref through Java mapping then continue with graphical/other mapping programming. We have to specify the multiple mapping programs in interface mapping.

ABAP mapping is a single mapping program which ignores the DTD ref.

May be you can try removing this xml tag from the source XML by writing a module processor and add it to the file adapter CC. This way you avoid the xml tag in mapping.
