Data lookup in R/3 database from message mapping

Hi,
I am trying to lookup R/3 database from Message mapping.
Instead of creating Java class outside XI and then importing into Integration Repository, I have defined an advanced function in message mapping and trying to connect to R/3 using JCo API. But System is giving syntax errors as listed below:
Check Result for Object CustomerDetailsMap Source code has syntax error:
F:/usr/sap/C03/DVEBMGS00/j2ee/cluster/server0/./temp/classpath_resolver/Mapc1513850c14511d985d5001143eb68b9/source/com/sap/xi/tf/_CustomerDetailsMap_.java:58: illegal character: 160 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â // Change the logon information to your own system/user

Can somebody help in rectifying the problem?
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
can u post the java code which u have used in mapping.
There is a doc in XI-Articles. "How to Perform SAP Data Lookups Within XI Mappings" By Jerome Delune 16 October, 2003. Try looking at this article and do ur mapping.
Hope this helps you.
Cheers,

How to set EXPORT parameter from message mapping

Again, ask the question of export parameter.
I wrote a java version transformation and it worked good with export parameter.
However I can not work it out in graphical message mapping. I refered http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/43/c3e1fa6c31599ee10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm.
In PI7.1, I add an export parameter "EXPORT_PARA" in the "Signature" tab. Are there any special step to assign this parameter to an UDF? I did not find a way to do it.
And then I define an UDF,
public String SetExportPara(String sss, Container container) throws StreamTransformationException{
String str = "GOOD";
GlobalContainer gc = container.getGlobalContainer();
OutputParameters paras= gc.getOutputParameters();
if(paras.exists("EXPORT_PARA ") == true) {
paras.setString("EXPORT_PARA ", str);
}else {
str = "NOT FOUND EXPORT_PARA";
return str;
And I assign this UDF to one element of my output XML, I tried to run it in IE, it always output "NOT FOUND EXPORT_PARA.
why?????
I know there is a blog : https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/8654. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
But it did not talk how to set export parameters.

Hi,
i read thread
How to export parameters from Message Mapping
and blog
/people/jin.shin/blog/2008/02/14/sap-pi-71-mapping-enhancements-series-parameterized-message-mappings
but not found issue
in this topic
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/43/c3e1fa6c31599ee10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm.
if i writting this code in UDF, i getting an error.
If use this code:
GlobalContainer gc = container.getGlobalContainer();
OutputParameters paras= gc.getOutputParameters();
paras.setString("EXPORT_PARA ", str);
the export parameter is defined locally (in transformation step area). In integration process area parameter is equal to NULL.
How send export parameter to Integration Process? For exapmple, i wanna send parameter to other transformation step in my integration process.
thx.

Error exporting XIM file from message mapping

Hi.
We are trying to export XIM files from message mapping with CTRL + SHIFT + 0 but is not working. Iu2019ve tried to solve it with this link:
[http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967893]
but is still not working.
We are with SAP PI 7.11 SP 07. Is there any SP level prerequisite to be able to export message mappings in xim files?
Thanks a lot.
Edited by: Christian Abad Chico on Feb 28, 2012 11:15 AM

I think you can't use 1.4 in SAP PI 7.1.
I've downlaned the JDK 5 and I've associated it to enviroment variables PATH and JAVA_PATH but the application is still opening with JAVA 6.....
Any idea?

Is it possible to retreive data and store it in database from a AWM cube?

Hi all,
Table to cube is possible by maintaining..but Is it possible to retreive data as it stored in cube and store it in database from a AWM cube?
Regards,
Arjun Jkoshi

Hi there,
Yes, it is possible - and very easy. Remember an OLAP cube is fully integrated with the Oracle database and therefore treated very much as a native object.
With 11g OLAP, cube views are created automatically when you define a cube using AWM. These views provide SQL access to the data in the OLAP cube meaning that it is very easy to transfer data into a table using techniques such as 'create table as select * from cube_view' or 'insert into table select * from cube_view'. You can use WHERE clauses to filter specific values from the cube into the table, and in 11g, an optimisation has been added to ensure that NULL rows are eliminated from the result set automatically (OLAP cubes are typically very sparse and therefore contain many NULL values)
With 10g OLAP, cube views can be added on top of existing cubes that have been created using AWM. It is easiest to do this using the [view generator|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/olap/viewGenerator_1_0_2.zip] utility from the [OTN OLAP home page|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/olap/index.html]. With the views in place it is once again very easy to transfer data into a table using techniques such as 'create table as select * from cube_view' or 'insert into table select * from cube_view'.
I hope this is clear and makes sense. Which version of Oracle OLAP are you using?
Thanks
Stuart

JCO from Message Mapping in XI

I'm trying to create a function in XI Message Mapping that saves some information in a XI DB table using JCO.
I've created DB table ZEDI with Fields A,B,C,D. My function is following:
imports:java.lang.String;java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;java.io.InputStream;com.sap.mw.jco.*;
public String WriteTable(String ISA,String GS,Container container){
//write your code here
String DBTABLE = "ZEDI";
String sapClient = "200";
String hostName = "10.1.10.81";
String systemNumber = "00";
String userName = "DBuser";
String password = "DBpass";
String language = "EN";
int i     = 0;
JCO.Repository mRepository;
JCO.Client mConnection = JCO.createClient(
               sapClient,
               userName,
               password,
               language,
               hostName,
               systemNumber );
// connect to SAP
mConnection.connect();
// create repository
mRepository = new JCO.Repository( "GenericLookup", mConnection );
// create function template to select data from any table
JCO.Function function = null;
IFunctionTemplate ft = mRepository.getFunctionTemplate("ZEDI");
function = ft.getFunction();
//JCO.ParameterList lookupFieldPos = function.getImportParameterList();
JCO.Table FieldPos = function.getTableParameterList().getTable("ZEDI");
// Pass function parameters
FieldPos.setValue(ISA,"A");
FieldPos.setValue(GS,"B");
mConnection.execute(function );
mConnection.disconnect();
return ISA;
Message Mapping test returns Exception:[java.lang.NullPointerException].
Do you have any idea what do I need to change to make it working?
Thanks!
Naycho

Hi Naycho
You have created a SAP table, but you have to create ABAP Function Module (RFC) with import /export parameters to access tables via JCO.
The null pointer exception is because - IFunctionTemplate ft = mRepository.getFunctionTemplate("ZEDI");
is searching for a function not table name.
hope this helps

Use exported parameter from message mapping (via UDF) in next mapping prog

Is there any chance to assign an exported parameter from one message mapping to another mapping program within an operation mapping?

Hi,
Try using dynamic configuration
1. Set value in message mapping and
2. Get value in java mapping

How to export parameters from Message Mapping

You can make use of this export parameter only in transformation step of Integration Process. You may use the following "Parameterized Mapping Programs"
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/27/db283fd0ca8443e10000000a114084/content.htm
Regards,
Prateek

If you have defined the signature of your UDF then the return value of the UDF must be assigned to the Export paramter of message mapping.
Basically import parametrs represents the inputs to be passed for that function(message mapping here)
and export represents the output of that function.
so in your case if you want toassign the value to Export parameter (ERROR_TEXT) in UDF catch block
assign the error returned to the ERROR_TEXT field

Error when testing from Message mapping test tab

Hi Experts,
I am wondering that when i test the message in the MM test tab its giving error and target message is not generating. I am not testing end to end then why it is triggering communication channel?
I can see that the 'RFC_Alert_Service_RFC_Receive' communication channel is in Red color RWB--> communication channel monitoring. I even even refreshed the cache and also activated the RFC channel but no use.
Below are the error details:
Error when testing message from test tab of mapping -->

Unlock the user you are using in the RFC channel and provide the correct password in the channel configuration. Once the channel error is resolved you would be able to test the Mapping sucessfully...
>>why it is triggering communication channel?
You would be using RFC lookup in the mapping....

Lookup into R/3 table during Message Mapping

Hi all,
I have a field in my source message that I need to convert. The corresponding values are stored in an R/3 table. I could use a 2:1 mapping in a BPM to merge an RFC call reading the table with my mapping, but I was told that this can be done without using BPM.
Can anyone describe me this ?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Julien

Hi Julien,
Starting SP13 you can perform RFC lookups within your mapping using standard RFC API.
Check this michal's document for the same...

How to Cache Data from database for java mapping ?

Hi
I have a scenario where i have to dynamically query a huge table in some other database from java mapping code.
Therefore instead of making a new Database trip everytime is there a mechanism by which i can cache the entire table contents into XI first and then use this cache for looking up data through my java mapping.
Any other alternative also welcome which would give best performance.
Please Suggest
regards
Nilesh Taunk.

Hi Nilesh,
I am not sure if you can actually cache the table in XI. You will have to look up directly from your Database everytime your mapping excecutes.
To perform DB lookup during mapping very efficiently, I would suggest that you take a look at this blog,
/people/siva.maranani/blog/2005/08/23/lookup146s-in-xi-made-simpler
Also, instead of doing the DB look up in mapping, you can also use your JDBC adapter as a sender and collect the information you want from your DB,
If you are using your JDBC as a sender, then your JDBC will poll over your database and select the rows that satisfy your Select Query. Also, there is another field in your JDBC adapter that is very important and that is the Update satatement. Once your JDBC adapter executes your select query and selects rows from the database, you might not need those rows to be selected again. In this csse, you can use the Update statement to update the database.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/7e/5df96381ec72468a00815dd80f8b63/content.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2e/96fd3f2d14e869e10000000a155106/content.htm
The choice between a JDBC sender adapter , and the DB lookup will have to be on the basis of your requirements.

Remove Deteled Databases from SQL Server Management Studio List

Hi,
I am using SQL Server Express 2008 Management Studio & in the databases list are some databases that are non existent (have been deleted in Windows Explorer). How do I remove them as trying to delete when logging in using Windows authentication
fails?
Thanks
Paul.
Paul Wainwright

Hi pr_wainwright,
I’m writing to follow up with you on this post. Was the problem resolved after performing our action plan steps? According to your description and error message, we need to verify if your windows login account has sysadmin permission. The error 3701 occurs
when you use an account to execute the script who has not grant the permission about modifying database properties and creating database. I do a test, when the SQL Server Service is stop, I delete the data and log file of database from Windows Explorer, then
restart the service again, and connect to the SQL Server instance via windows login account which is sysadmin role. In SSMS list, you can right click the database and choose “ delete” option. Or you also use the drop statement by using master database first.
and two ways can all run well.

Soap lookup in PI7.31 message mapping

Hi All,
I have a soap lookup created in UDF in PI message mapping
I am taking material id from the source structure and use it as input parameter for the lookup webservice
Here is the UDF code which takes material number and returns the internal id
AbstractTrace trace = container.getTrace();
String matintid = "";
try {
//instance the channel to invoke the service.
Channel channel = LookupService.getChannel("BS_Bus","CC_SearchLookup");
SystemAccessor accessor = LookupService.getSystemAccessor(channel);
// The Request message in XML. THIS IS THE LOOKUP SERVICE
String SOAPxml = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><searchTM_MATERIAL>xmlns:ns0=\"MDM_MAT_Search_MDM"><query><criteria><fTX_MATERIAL><constraint><value>"
+a

InputStream inputStream =new ByteArrayInputStream(SOAPxml.getBytes());
XmlPayload payload = LookupService.getXmlPayload(inputStream);
Payload SOAPOutPayload = null;
//The response will be a Payload. Parse this to get the response field out.
SOAPOutPayload = accessor.call(payload);
/* Parse the SOAPPayload to get the SOAP Response back. */
InputStream inp = SOAPOutPayload.getContent();

trace.addInfo("matnid is" + matintid);
} catch (Exception e) {

This is giving a java null point error

Hi Mike,
What I suspect is, you get a null pointer exception because the XML tag name which you are trying to retrieve, has a namespace. Could you please instead try to use:
getElementsByTagNameNS(java.lang.String namespaceURI, java.lang.String localName)
          Returns a NodeList of all the Elements with a given local name and namespace URI in document order.
Let us know if it works.

RFC Lookup's in message mapping fail with RuntimeException for no reason

Hi guys,
We have developed interfaces that execute a lot of RFC's from Message Mapping, by making use of RFC Lookup API.
In ID, in the corresponding RFC Receiver Communication Channel we have set the number of maximum connections to 100.
However, when a big number of Idocs with lots of items is sent to XI some messages fail in XI because mapping fails with a runtime exception that is not correct, since there is a return value found from the execution of the RFC function. And when I am testing the mapping in Test mode of XI IR, the mapping is executed successfully.
Do you think that by increasing the maximum number of connections in Communication Channel, it will take effect?
