An example of mappings

I need help with my mappings file. I need to allow only two users to have complete email access both internally and externally to the mail server. I have being reading the manuals but I just get more confused. Can you please help with an example so that I can get started. the user can email back and forth with each other but not to outsiders. They can get mail from outsiders too.
thanks
Ken

I've got some ANTI-SPAM stuff at http://ims.balius.com/ Not exactly what you're looking for but you should get some good ideas from it.

Need example of adding attributes for many-to-many relationship

Hi,
Looking for examples of mappings and update code for many-to-many relationships with attributes.
There is a doc in Metalink:206971.1 that says that it can be done but no examples are shown.
Would realllly appreciate any help you can provide.
Cheers,
Nim

Extended Many to Many Question
Really there isn't any code to show. The recommendation is to create a class to represent the relationship. See link above for more details on the issue.

HTTP Adapter and DUNS scheme - possible bug ?

Hi Folks,
I am using the HTTP adapter for posting an XML message which is then redirected towards IDOC adapter ... nothing special here ...
I am using the scheme 'DUNS' and agency '016' to pass along the partner identification when calling the HTTP adapter ...
The HTTP adapter tries to match the given partner information and finds the proper XI Party ... BUT ... it overwrites the DUNS number value with the XI Party but leaves the agency and scheme pointing to DUNS ...
An example
Going IN:
Party = 12345789, Agency = 016, Scheme = DUNS
After conversion
Party = MyPartner, Agency = 016, Scheme = DUNS
So the receiver determination works fine and then we go to the IDOC adapter when stuff goes into error as it cannot convert the given sender information into a proper IDOC partner ...
The whole thing works fine when I am passing along
Party = MyPartner, Agency = http://sap.com ..., Scheme = XIParty
then the IDOC is created and send towards SAP ...
I am thinking that the Sender determination in the HTTP adapter goes wrong as the combination
Party = MyPartner, Agency = 016, Scheme = DUNS
is clearly wrong ... Furthermore I have lost my original DUNS number ( so it cannot be used for example in mappings, etc ... )
Anyone had similar issues or problems with this ?
Regards,
Steven

Apply note 954645. This should solve the issue.

The DUNS must be provided in the message payload as well.
Usually the party normalization is done by the adapters in a very specific way. So the RNIF adapter takes the DUNS out of the message payload of the RosettaNet message and does the party normalization with that DUNS.
In the HTTP adapter there is no need for a party normalization as you provide a URL for the HTTP client where you can add the party in the query string.

Integration Scenario

Hi All,
I am new to XI. I need to know about Integration Scenario. What is it? Why we are using Integration Scenario? How it differs from Integration Process? and how to use Integration Scenario? Give a simple example (like file to file using Integration Scenario).
Thanks and Regards,
Nithya

Hi,
>>>Integration Scenario,Why we are using Integration Scenario,how to use Integration Scenario
Integration scenario is used to logically relate all XI objects for a particular scenario. It also eases the creation of configuration objects.
You use an integration scenario to define the message exchange and message flow for collaborative processes. Normally, these are processes between different business partners that are generally coupled by the exchange of messages.
The integration scenario provides you with a central point of access for all objects that you require for semantic and technical integration, for example interfaces, mappings, and software components.
You can integrate an executable integration process into an integration scenario.
Follow the blogs for more details:

>>> Integration Process
An integration process is an executable, cross-system process for processing messages. In an integration process you define all the process steps that are to be executed and the parameters relevant for controlling the process.
You implement integration processes when you want to define, control, and monitor complex integration processes that extend across enterprise and application boundaries. The design and processing of integration processes is also known as cross-component Business Process Management (cross-component BPM, ccBPM).

Hi,
Exchange Infrastructure (XI) is an Integral part of SAP Net weaver. Position of XI is in the process integration layer of Net weaver stack.
The aim of XI is to integrate different versions of both SAP and non-SAP systems implemented on different platforms (Java, ABAP, and so on). XI enables you to implement cross-system business processes.
XI is based on an open architecture, makes use of open standards and offers services that are essential in a heterogeneous and complex system landscape: namely a runtime infrastructure for message exchange, configuration options for managing business processes and message flow, and options for transforming message contents between the sender and receiver systems.
The application-specific contents are transferred from the sender to the receiver in a freely defined XML schema (XML: extended Markup Language) using the Integration Engine. The structure of a message is therefore determined by the interface data structures used.
The central concept is that, during the design phase, all interfaces required are initially developed independently of a platform and made available in the form of a WSDL description(WSDL: Web Service Description Language). Using this description you can, for example,
define mappings between interfaces without this having an effect on an existing system landscape. All design phase data is saved in the Integration Repository to be implemented later in a particular system landscape. In this second phase, the configuration phase, you can
select components, interfaces, and mappings saved in the Integration Repository that are appropriate for your system landscape and business processes, and assign them to each other in logical routing. The data resulting from this configuration process is saved in the
Integration Directory and you can call and evaluate it from the runtime of the Exchange Infrastructure.
Exchange Infrastructure can be used as a Middleware Engine to communicate in a distributed environment. The heart of XI is Integration Engine that is used for integrating different technologies using Standard Messaging techniques e.g XML. Different mapping tools are avilable for mapping the distributed system which can be mapped without having any expertice of Technical Details. As a real world example, XI can be helpful in integrating different banks with SAP R/3. XI Engine also support previous releases of SAP R/3 like 4.6C and have many more adapters to communicate with legacy systems.
SAP XI is an integration technology and platform for
1.      SAP and Non-SAP systems,
2.    A2A and B2B scenarios,
3.       Synchronous and Asynchronous communication,
4.       Cross component Business Process management and it include built-in engine for designing and executing   integration process (Business process).
5.     The goal of SAP XI is to provide single point of integration of all systems inside and outside the corporate boundary across technologies and organizational boundaries.
6.      The important feature of XI is openness, flexible and transparency to the integration process. It is based on ESA and SOA.
7.      The overall key concept of SAP XI is to drive integrated business process across heterogeneous and highly dynamic landscapes in a more manageable cost effective way.
8.      The basic idea is to provide runtime infrastructure which allows heterogeneous systems to be tied together with fewer connections and at the same time, in order to connect those applications and let messages flow from one application to other, have a centralized storage of integration knowledge.

PI different clients problem

Hi,
I am having PI 100 and 110 clients. If i make any development in PI 100 client ..and i want to test in PI 110 client. Is that possible?
And one more question is..if the IR and ID objects are going to be displayed in PI 110 client as well?
Request you to clarify on this.
Thanks
Hamja

Hi Hamja,
most part of PI development is done in the Java stack and this has no client concept, therefore is makes no much sense to have more than one client. An excepion would be for example ABAP mappings. If you develop them in 100 you test them in 110, no problem. Program code is available in all clients, data usually only in one.
And of course the experts are right, you can have only one client configured as "Integration Server" (Transaction SXMB_ADM / Integration Engine Configuration).

Udo

HP Express Card Mini Remote Mappings, Issues, Woahs, Questions.

Ok, I am trying to actually get this Mini-Remote to be useful for my DV5-1235DX.
First, is there an easy way to remap the buttons on the remote control? I will never use HP Smart DVD. I do not use HP Smart Menu. I will not use Media Center. I prefer my own software over those packages.
1). Any way to map those buttons to something else and stop the calls they make starting the existing software?
2). Is there a full list of which media functions the remaining buttons are mapped to? I have found some so far provided below.
Remote Button Virtual Key Media Key
Stop VK_MEDIA_STOP MEDIA_STOP
Rewind MEDIA_FASTFORWARD
Play/Pause VK_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE
Fast Forward MEDIA_REWIND
Previous VK_MEDIA_PREVIOUS_TRACK MEDIA_PREVIOUSTRACK
Next VK_MEDIA_NEXT_TRACK MEDIA_NEXTTRACK
Up MEDIA_CHANNEL_UP
Down MEDIA_CHANNEL_DOWN
Direction Up VK_UP
Direction Down VK_DOWN
Direction Left VK_LEFT
Direction Right VK_RIGHT
OK VK_RETURN
Back VK_BROWSER_BACK BROWSER_BACKWARD
Settings "i" Volume Down VK_VOLUME_DOWN VOLUME_DOWN
Mute VK_VOLUME_MUTE VOLUME_MUTE
Volume Up VK_VOLUME_UP VOLUME_UP
As can be seen I am still missing some key buttons and their matched Media Key Function Name.
I would appreciate any and all help on finding the missing button functions and remapping the current app start calls.
Thank you very much in advance for your time,
Kelly
P.S. - EDIT: A programmer friend pointed out the IR Software/Driver may be sending virtual keys and not just media key signals. With that I was able to map a few more to their virtual key and can use those buttons now as well.
With this new information I can now map all buttons except the little "i" and the 5 buttons across the top (Power, DVD, SmartMenu, Display Switch, MediaCenter).
P.P.S. - Is there even an application that does anything when pressing the "i" button on the remote? I've tried almost every application that was installed on the laptop and not one has responded when pressing that button. The HP User Guides section 'HP Mobile Remote Control (Select Models Only) > Button quick reference' lists this button as Settings and says:
"Press to display system information. The button may also be used to display settings menus for some multimedia software." It does not display system information and I have yet to find any software it displays anything in.
Message Edited by kelendral on 2009-04-25 07:48 PM

Well, I called HP Support today.
They verified the only reaction they could get from that "Settings" button on a similar model (they did not have the exact DV5-1235dx on hand) was to interrupt the screen saver. This is the exact and only behavoir I have found with that key.
They were also unable to provide any technical information (such as remote code, key being emulated, virtual key command, or media key mapping).
So basically on a similar model device they experienced the exact same thing, the key appears to have no function in any of the software provided by HP.
It is very disappionting that their technical support was so lacking that they could not describe the functionality of the key even after being sent up a level and passed over to a third tech.
Until I figure out the mapping of this key, it appears to be a nice way to remotely interrupt the screensaver. Then again any of the other keys will do that as well.
I did find some use for knowing both the VK and MK mappings. Media Player Classic HomeCinema allows the use of either VK or MK mapping. It also allows the use of both. By using both some keys can be made to perform double duty.
Example: MPC-HC has the Play function mapped to MK of MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE. By mapping the VK of VK_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE to one of the Jump Backward commands [eg Jump Backward (medium)] then hitting the Play/Pause key while something is playing will pause playback, and do a short rewind. It will also do another short rewind and start playing again on the next press.
Example 2: MPC-HC has the Mute function mapped to MK VOLUME_MUTE. By mapping the VK of VK_VOLUME_MUTE to Toggle Subtitles then pressing Mute will mute the sound and turn subtitles on. Press again to turn subtitles off and turn the sound back on.
This remote is similar to other HP laptops and so if you happen to know a piece of software which responds to the 'Settings i' button on any model of the HP laptop with any express card style remote running Windows Vista 64-bit please give a shout.
Thanks again,
Kelly

How to use Value Mappings for simple translations?

Hello,
I want to use Value Mappings for simple translations in mappings, e.g. from IDoc to Inhouse structures.
For example unit of quantity:
IDOC    -->    INHOUSE
PCE               P
ABC               A
How can I use Value Mapping for this? What should be used as Agency, what should be used for Scheme? What about groups? I tried the following: I created a new Value Mapping in Integration Directory:
- Source Agency: DELVRY05
- Source Scheme: MENEE (IDoc field name)
- Target Acency: INHOUSE_DESADV (Name of structure)
- Target scheme: UNIT (Name of field)
Then, in the table, I added several lines for translating PCE to P and ABC to A and so on. But I have to define a group name for each line. I used INHOUSE. But than I get one INHOUSE group for each line.
This seems very complicated for simple translations from A to B. I don't want to use FixValue in Message mappings.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Christoph

Hello,
@pavan kumar: Thanks, but I know all Blogs about Value Mappings. That does not help me. And I refer to PI 7.1.
Lets get it very simple: I want to have exactly the same functionality of "FixValues" as ValueMappings. In 7.1, I need to define a Group for every row / line in the conversion table (e.g. for units of measurement conversion between IDoc and FlatFile). That does not make sense for me, as the Group is always the same, e.g. "Unit of measurement". So I will get dozens of same groups called "Unit of measurement".
I don't really understand the concept of Groups. Maybe this is just not appropiate for my intenses? Maybe the Group has to be defined as one specific value of Unit of measurement, e.g. "pieces"?

How to Deploy all mappings in a module using OMB+

Hi,
I am using OMB+ to deploy project from DEV to QA , i used a OMB+ script to do the export and one import script to do the import/deployment
both Export and Import are working fine , the problem is in the Deploy part of Import script,
in this script I am connecting to the Repository and importing the Project from DEV and then changed the Context to the module and then connected to the Control centre , when i tried to deploy the mapping i get the error saying the location is not registered to the module
ususally if i use the GUI i double click the module and add the location to the module, howcan i do that in OMB+ ,
Example script would help me a lot
and for deploying the mappings i am using
OMBCREATE TRANSIENT DEPLOYMENT_ACTION_PLAN 'DEPLOY_PLAN' ADD ACTION 'MAP_DEPLOY' SET PROPERTIES (OPERATION) VALUES ('CREATE') SET REFERENCE MAPPING 'MAPPING NAME'
but i don't want to pass mapping names like this i just want to deploy all mappings in a single step
Please advice me
Thanks in Advance

How do I reducing the amount of joining when using one-to-one mappings?

Examine the following example;
class Person
Address address;
String firstName, lastName;
class Address
Long addressId;
String state, city, zip;
Assume that both of these classes are mapped to tables in a database. Attributes such as Staff's name and Address's addressId, state, city, and zip are direct-to-field mappings. Staff's address attribute is a one-to-one mapping.
If you write the following expression:
Expression exp = new ExpressionBuilder(Person.class).get("address").get("addressId").equal(4L);
Toplink will create a query like the following:
select first_name, last_name, address_id, ...
from person t0, address t1
where t0.address_id = t1.address_id
and t1.address_id = 4;
This is an unneccesary join because the person table already has the column with the data in it since it has a foriegn key. Is there someway to tell toplink to not join the tables when the only thing you are querying on is if a foriegn key that already exists in the referenced table? What I would want/expect to see is the following:
select first_name, last_name, address_id, ...
from person t0
where t0.address_id = 4;
I beleive we are using TopLink version 10.1.3.1

In your initial query you're actually saying "find the Person who has an Address who's id is 4". Your second query is "find the Person who references an address who's id is 4". The first query requires there be an Address with ID 4, the other does not.
If you define a query key "addressId" for the ADDRESS_ID column on the Person descriptor you can write this query as:
Expression exp = new ExpressionBuilder(Person.class).get("addressId").equal(4L);This will result in the SQL you want.

RFC Lookup using Java Mapping program - Examples

Dear Experts,
I am working on a scenario which is using 1:N mapping. For deciding the target message I have to use RFC Lookup to call the backend ERP system and there are 2 ERP systems involved in this integration. As I am using Java Mapping and never did a RFC Lookup in Java. I kindly request you to give me some examples which I could use for my RFC calls in my Java Mapping. Simple example will do.
Client is adamant to use Java mapping, I could achieve this easily using XSLT or Graphical Mapping.
Advance Thanks,
Pradeep

Hello,
why don't you use Extended Receiver Determination Defining Extended (Dynamic) Receiver Determination - Integration Directory - SAP Library?
What you can do is create a Message Mapping between your source message and Receivers message type. In this message mapping you can use your RFC to generate the target message.
For example, lets say we have the function ZFM_GET_INTERFACE_INFO used to generate the List of Receivers given a source message. You could create a Message Mapping as below:
In this case, the RFCLookup box look as below:
The receiver determination configuration would look as follows:
Afterwards, you will need two specific message mappings for the two ERP systems.
Summarizing, you'll need:
1.- A Message Mapping: Source Message to Receivers Message Type (This one uses the RFC Lookup)
2.- A Message Mapping: Source Message to Target Message for ERP 1
3.- A Message Mapping: Source Message to Target Message for ERP 2
In Integration Directory you'll have 1 Receiver Determination(Source system, Target System determined Dynamically) and 2 Interface Determinations (Source System to ERP1, Source System to ERP2), etc.
I hope you find it useful.
Regards!

Mappings file

Mappings code generation : regular SQL / cursor PL/SQL

Hi,
When designing mappings, I fear that code generation can be potentially dangerous, because OWB automatically chooses the best method to generate the code (regular SQL or PL/SQL).
I am looking for some examples where code generation for a mapping:
- gives a regular SQL statement
- gives a cursor-based PL/SQL
- a small change in a mapping makes a regular SQL mapping to be transformed in a cursor-based PL/SQL
Thank you
Alexandre

I have not said that different modes executes at the same way what the use to have different options if they actually mean the same, right? I have said that they produced the same result i.e. if you expect the mapping to insert 1000 rows from the source to the target it will be done no matter which operation mode you choose.
But by different ways. To keep it simple lets say that:
set base mode will result in:
insert into target ()
select from source;
row based will result in:
begin
for a in (select * from source) loop
insert into target
end loop;
end;
Now lets assume that 5 rows from those 1000 you are going to insert, will break some NOT NULL constraint at the target.
If you choose Set-base mode entire insert from select will fail resulting no rows is inserted into target. Audit trail will contain message like constraint violated and thats it. You will have to find bad records by yourself.
If you choose Row-base mode 995 rows will be inserted (depending on mapping configuration) into the target and 5 will be listed in audit trail with the same constraint violated message.
Thats why default operating mode is Set based fail over to Row based. That means OWB will try to execute mapping in the fastest way set based, but if it fail, it will try again to accomplish the task by running in row base mode, providing complete audit trail fro bad rows.
