XML - line break after each closing tag

[Former Member]

Hallo all,

we are sending orders as XML-files over XI to our suppliers. All data's in this file are in one line. Some suppliers can´t use this xml-files, because after e.g. 1000 characters, their systems automatically sets a line break. So, the xml file is corrupted.

In our old system (SAP Business Connector) it was possible to set an so called "Pretty print". This means, that after each closing tag is a line break.

Is it also possible in XI (3.0 SP 19)?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Hello Martin!

I think if you are using XSLT for Transformation, you can try it with the "indent=yes" Attribute in your outpuz tag of the stylesheet

(<xsl:output indent="yes"/>)

Normally it depends on the XSLT processor you use, how it will handle that option, but i think SAP's one handles this quite well.

Another option is to use a own stylesheet for that like the examples you can find here:

Anyway it seems like your suppliers are not really "XML compliant" if they cut a line after 1000 characters :=)
