Difference of FixValues and Value Mapping in Message Mapping

Hi
I would like to know the exact difference between the "FixValues" and Value Mapping. And the Scenarios of usage.
If i use Value Mappings, value mappings more for fixed values or can they be used for business data that will change ?
If the flow is from "Non SAP to SAP System" then if i maintain the "Value Mapping Tables" in Message Mapping, Do i need to maintain the same Value Mapping tables on SAP System. If this is the case, it will be over head of maintaining on both sides.
More thankful if you clarify my doudt.
Regards
Shailaja

Hi,
your question is best explained in the following link(PDF).
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/9202d890-0201-0010-1588-adb5e89a6638
Its given in the 75th page.
>>If the flow is from "Non SAP to SAP System" then if i maintain the "Value Mapping Tables" in Message Mapping, Do i need to maintain the same Value Mapping tables on SAP System.
I think this is not needed.its not needed to maintain value mapping tables in SAP system.
hope this helps.

Difference between binding and value

Hi
I am new to JSF
Can you tell me what is the difference between binding and value attribute of a
JSF component ?
Many thanks.

Hi,
the binding is the component association to a managed bean (or backing bean). This allows you to manipulate the component in Java code stored in a managed bean.
The value is what the actual component value is.

Interface Mapping VS Message Mapping

What is the meaning of Interface mapping and Message mapping in real business?
I think it is something like the difference between the class and object. object is an instance of class.
While talking about the mapping, there are the source interface and target interface. Can two source intefaces map to only one interface, and what about the vs verse? And how about the message mapping?
Thanks a lot

Hi -
First, an Interface Mapping is not only linked with "Message Mappings" (which is the XI term for a mapping created with the XI graphical tool), but any other XI supported mapping type (e.g. XSLT, Java, or ABAP). So basically, an Interface Mapping is used to link a source interface to a target interface via a mapping (of any of the supported types). At runtime, you can't have an interface mapping without a mapping and a mapping without an interface mapping - they need each other.
>>>Can two source intefaces map to only one interface, and what about the vs verse? And how about the message mapping?
Yes, the ratio of source to target interfaces are n:m. In those multiple cases, Multi-Mappings are typically involved as mentioned in the previous post.
Also, remember that in one interface mapping, you are not limited to one mapping. More than one mapping (of any type) can execute in the sequence you have set up in the Interface Mapping. However, watch out for performance in these back-to-back(to-back) mappings.

Set a variable in Adapter Module and read it during message mapping

Hi guys,
is there any way, how I could set some variable and store its value during the adapter module processing and read back this value in message mapping and use it? Without using a database or files.. I mean, some j2ee storage or something like that..
Thanks for your help,
Olian

Hi guys,
thanks for your answers.. just a clarification, what the problem is.
I need to validate a message in the adapter module, if it's digital signature is valid. If it is, I need to send back to the sender a return code (message) OK, otherwise ERROR. I can't modify the message (or dynamic configuration) as I'm using a WSS in the sender channel. The system doesn't allow me to change anything in the message, so I can't find out in the mapping what the validation result was. I then tried to do the validation directly in the message mapping, but I have some issues there with libraries or what, because the validation code, which works in the adapter module, doesn't work in the mapping java class. So my final thought was maybe I could validate the message in the adapter module and pass the result to the message mapping and then create an appropriate return message (in the mapping). However, I see no way of passing a value there. I'm stuck and have no Idea how to resolve the problem. Any hints guys?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Get the mapping values from one message mapping into another message mappin

Hi All,
I created two graphical message mappings. In first message mapping i created one user defined function and set one global container parameter and I need to use this parameter in my second message mapping user defined function. But the global container parameters can be used in different user defined functions in same message mapping. So is there any way to use the values which are set in one message mapping into another message mapping. If yes, please help me how to get?

Hi Koteswara rao,
As you said global container parameters from first message mapping are not accessible from second message mapping program.
i haven't faced situation like this.but, if you have some unmapped field in target message in first message mapping,you can put global variables data in that unmapped field.
anyway the output of first message mapping would be input for 2nd messages mapping,so you can access global data(unmapped field filled with global data in 1st MM) from 2nd mapping program..
Cheers,
Jag

PI 7.1 Operation mapping - Multiple message mapping - one to many issue

Dear Experts,
I am facing this issue in PI 7.1 and I beleive i did similar one in PI 7.0 successfully.
I have an operation mapping with two message mappings.
The occurence of source message of operation mapping is 1
The occurence of target message of operation mapping is 0..unbounded
Corresponding i configured two message mappings
For message mapping-1
Source message occurence = 1 and Target message occurence = 1
For message mapping-2
Source message occurence = 1 and Target message occurence = 0...unbounded
When i test message mappings individually they are working good. But when i test it in operation mapping, the operation mapping is not working..as it is not able to convert single occurence output of message mapping -1 to the second message mapping-2.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

The message that i get when testing in operation mapping:
Runtime Exception when executing application mapping program com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_MessageMapping_1_; Details: com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf7.IllegalInstanceException; Cannot create target element /ns0:MT_MessageMapping_1_TargetMessageType/RECORDSET. Values missing in queue context. Target XSD requires a value for this element, but the target-field mapping does not create one. Check whether the XML instance is valid for the source XSD, and whether the target-field mapping fulfils the requirement of the target XSD
My question is, has somebody mapped similar scenario in your environment? If yes, can you please provide details.
Operation mapping : 1 to 0..unbounded
Message Mapping1: 1 to 1
Message Mapping2: 1 to 0...unbounded

Enumeration mapping in message mapping

I have a source structure ABC that contains two fields. This structure needs to be transformed into two records that will store the field name of the source as well as the value. It actually creates name/value pair in the target interface. I wonder if message mapping could possibly handle that.
[Source]
ABC
---FIELD_A = 123
---FIELD_B = 456
[Target]
DEF[0]
---NAME = "FIELD_A"
---VALUE = "123"
DEF[1]
---NAME = "FIELD_B"
---VALUE = "456"

Is it possible to copy segment mapping in message mapping??

Hii Experts,
I want to duplicate one segment and I want to copy all the mappings of one segment into the other in message mapping.
Mapping Templete does not work here.
Anyone knows any other work around ?? The segment contains hell lot of mapping rules and it is difficult to copy each and every rule.
Thanks in advance.

Hi shripad
just try one thing right click on target field which you want to copy and select option copy node ..if it is work then it may.....otherwise i donot think its possible..
Thanks

XSLT-Mapping oder Message Mapping (grafisches Mapping)?

Hallo,
which mapping type is the best? xslt oder message mapping?
Jens

Hi,
In terms of perfromance , XSLT is supposed to be very bad and is to be avoided whenever possibl.e
Graphical Mapping is the best when it comes to performance of the mapping.
But , there are a few features, which are not possible using graphical in which case you might have to go for JAVA/ ABAP / XSLT mapping.

Does anyone know what is the difference between standard and value print cartridges?

I was wandering does anyone know what the difference is between the 2 I am not sure which one to get.

I do not know what printer and cartridges you are looking at, but there are typically "value" or XL cartridges that have approximately three times the ink at about twice the cost.
You can see the page yield for various printers here.

What's the difference between text and value type for SO item category?

Dears,
Could anybody help me on this question?
Many thanks!

Shiliang

Hi Shiliang,
In a Bill Of Material the main item is a composite item which represents what is being sold to the customer. For eg. a computer typically would consist of Monitor, Keyboard,mouse and CPU, speakers. Here computer refers the collection of all these items which are physically existing and basically items present in our inventory ( Value Items ). Where as computer is just a text item meant to describe the collection.
Also to add the for Usage we use it as text sometimes, which is used to say the item has been authenticated by the quality dept and we print " Tested " on it or these days all the items come out with unique article numbers for identification purpose. So we use this usage as text.
Hope it adds. Pl reward if useful.
Thanks & Regards

Quantity Mapping in Message mapping

I have the below mapping conditions...
Create for every quantity related to billcode and Sponsorcode. If there is no quantity, create segment with quantity 0.
How to map this? Please help how to map this clearly...
Thanks in advance..

Hello,
This can be solved by using the node function mapWithDefault. Since your quantity is 0..1, you can use a logic that looks like this
quantity --> mapWithDefault: 0 --> target
Please take note that for the mapWithDefault to work, there should be no context manipulations in your quantity field.
Hope this helps,
Mark
