  1. In the Object Navigator (transaction SE80), open the transformation program you need.

    • File output: The system saves the result as a local file. You need to specify the path for the output file in the Result File Path field.
    • Document output: The system transforms the result into a DOM tree, then displays the DOM tree using iXML methods, and in the end displays it as a list.
    • HTML view: The result is displayed in a browser.
