Transformation
Editor 
Purpose
The Transformation Editor is a tool
integrated in the workbench that allows you to define transformations that are
executed on the application server. XML documents can then be transformed into
other XML or HTML documents, or into ABAP data structures. Two different
protocols are available for this transformation. On the one hand you can
create an XSLT program as the repository object. On the other hand, you can
create a 
Simple
Transformation program.

The use of the Transformation Editor requires knowledge of XSLT or Simple Transformation. Support during implementation is currently limited to the basic functions.
Integration
The Transformation Editor is a development tool that is completely integrated in the Workbench. The development objects created here, called XSLT or Simple Transformation programs, are stored in the Repository and linked to the Transport Organizer.
Calling the Transformation Editor
First start the Object Navigator (SE80), then select the package in the Repository Browser and double-click the required transformation program under Transformations.
Features
§ Create transformation programs for defining transformation rules.
§ Edit the source text using the Tag Browser (XSLT, HTML, WML, XHTML).
§ Check and activate transformation programs.
§ Test the transformation.
§ Create breakpoints for debugging transformations.
Constraints
§ Tool support when editing the source text is limited to inserting tags from the Tag Browser.
§ When you test transformation programs, only local files (from the file directory of the front end) are allowed as source and target documents.
