Target message in Mesasage mapping

Hi,
I am trying to do a file to SOAP scenario. I have set up data types for the source file. I have an XML target file(not the structure but with tags and values). I need to bring it to the target in the Message mapping to do my mapping.
In XI 30 it allows XML file browsed from local file..or in repository it allows external definitions whereby I can convert it into a DTD or WSDL and load it..or do I need to create the data type for the XML target manually...and then pull it into the mapping interface???
I am not sure which would be the best approach..I am planning to use a SOAP adapter to send the outgoing XML msg. If I import XML file from the local browser I am getting the values also..Is it possible to just get the structure of the XML document.?
Any help would be highly appreciated...

Dear Krishnan-
The decision to map to the the header tag <SoldTo> really depends on the cardinality of that particular node. If the object is mandatory in your XML strucutre(ie: 1:1), then there is no need to map anything to this tag. If it is optional (ie 0:1 or 0:n), then you will need to map something to it based on some qualifier that is in the source for the children tags (nodes/elements).
Target Example:
<PO>
_<...>
__<Body>
___<SoldTo>
____<Address>
____</Address>
___</SoldTo>
__</Body>
_</...>
</PO>
If the <SoldTo> is optional in your External Definition, then you should map something to your <SoldTo> node in your graphical mapping. The existence of value(s) in the subordinate node (ie <Address> tag) does not automatically generate the parent tag (ie <SoldTo>) if the cardinality of the parent node is optional. You must map something to generate the optional parent node. This can be done in a number of ways. The most logical would be to select some criteria based on the commonality of the parent and child nodes. Or if you don't care, just hardcode any constant string. However, then you always get the node which defeats something being optional.
Here's some pseudocode for ya...
Parent Example: SoldTo CreateIf PARVW=AG (Assuming you are using and INVOIC01 or ORDERS05 idoc as your source)
Child Example: Address Equals "STRAS" IF PARVW=AG.
In the end, you would not need to map the SoldTo in your example unless it's an optional tag.
Try it and let us know!
Bon Chance!

No namespace tag in target message (Test Interface mapping)

Hello,
Could you put your XSD definition ?
And check your mapping because it seems that you don't have a root node in output.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Error in Message Mapping "Target message IDOC: ORDRSP.ORDERS02 does not exi

Hi,
I have joined newly to the team.
When I tried to open one message mapping it throwinf follwing error...
"Target message IDOC: ORDRSP.ORDERS02 does not exist in software component version ID: 44423362454456485465..
Check whether the software component version ID: 44423362454456485465 is in Enterprise Service Repository. Import this version if necessary"
Is there any impact because of which in the message flow?
In my case some of the messages are failing with mapping error "runtime exception occured during application mapping com/sap/xi/tf/_SUS2MMOrderResponse_; java.lang.NullPointerException: while trying to invoke the method java.util.Map.get(java.lang.Object) of an object loaded from field com.sap.aii.map`"
And some of the messages are processed sucessfully and they also using the same mapping program 'SUS2MMOrderResponse'.
Could someone tell me is there any relation for the above error in XML messages and to the message mapping?

Could someone tell me is there any relation for the above error in XML messages and to the message mapping?
The error mentions that you have used an IDOC in your mapping program which is not found in the ESR....you need to check if the IDOC is present in the ESR and is present under the correct SWCV.
Once you have done the check do some dummy change to the mapping and activate it (if in DEV) and then check the CACHE.

Searching a Field In Source or Target Message in Message Mapping

Hey Guys,
I came accross this peculiar behaviour and it keeps bugging me , I could search any field in source or target message in message mapping in PI 7.0 by copying the path( /ns1:MaestroAcreedores/Acreedores/ClaveDeGrupo or any idoc field /FIDCCP02/IDOC/E1FIKPF/BUDAT ) but in PI 7.1 i cant , its giving me an error String /ns1:MaestroAcreedores/Acreedores/ClaveDeGrupo not found , i can only search the field independently.Can anyone please help me out in this.

Hi
I am not sure whether it worked in 7.0 or not, but having checked myself i can confirm that it is not working in 7.1 in my system also.
For alternative, you can check by changing into source text view where it will display as xml. Here when you search the keyword, it would display you the hierarchy better than normal view.
I dont think there is any other alternative. although I would say in the worst case scenario you would not have more than 10-15 occurrences of same element in an idoc.

Multi-Mapping, only want to create target messages sometimes.

Hi,
I have a Multi-Mapping interface which maps a single incoming message to 3 target messages.
Based on the contents of the incoming message I only want to create a single instance of the outgoing messages.
The incoming message can have a repeating node of 3 types A, B or C. If there are multiple nodes of Type A then i need to create a single instance of one of the target messages and map the data in node A to this message, likewise for node B and node C.
I cant figure out how to do this. If I map a constant to the MT level of the target message and there are no type C nodes then the message type for this is created blank. But if I try and use the CreateIf tool then I get a MT created for each type C node.
Can anyone help with this?
If this isn't clear I will try to explain more.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your answer, I tried what you suggested and while it is creating the MT for type A nodes correctly it is not creating the MT for type B or C nodes. I have tried messing with the context on the incoming field and not getting anywhere.
I always seem to get almost there with this mapping but never what I am looking for.

Does the message mapping editor insure that a valid target message is co

Hi Friends
Does the message mapping editor insure that a valid target message is constructed?
Regards
Sam

Samuel,
Message mapping editor ,will generate the output as per your logic. Hence you need to validate and check whether the target message has been created correctly.
If you say," I'm perfect with the logic, I created the mapping I checked the target strcuture, its perfect, always the data will be populated correctly?" If the above is your question, then the answer is YES.

How to split the messages in the mapping

Hi Gurus,
I need to split the message into two XML message based on the value in the plant and sent it to two receivers.
How to do using Graphical mapping.
Im working in PI7.0. I dont know how to use the enhanced receiver determination. PL guide me.
This is my input message format
<ns0:Namespace>
   <row>
      <PlantCode>10<PlantCode>
      <element1>
      <element2>
      <element3>
<row>
<row>
      <PlantCode>40<PlantCode>
      <element1>

      <PlantCode>50<PlantCode>
      <element1>
      <element2>
      <element3>

      <element1>
      <element2>
      <element3>
<row>
Based on the plant i have to split the message
1. If plant is 10 or 20 it has to go to message 1
2. If plant is 40 or 50 it has to go to message 2.
How to do...
Regards,
Rama

1.Create a message mapping.
2.In the mapping editor, switch to the Messages tab page
3.Specify the same target message type 2 time by choosing +
4.Switch to the Design tab page
PlantCode---removeContext---equalS
          constant[10]/                     \
                                               OR------ifWithoutElse-------Message1
                                              /              plantcode   /
PlantCode---removeContext---equalS
          constant[20]/
PlantCode---removeContext---equalS
          constant[40]/                     \
                                               OR------ifWithoutElse-------Message1
                                              /              plantcode   /
PlantCode---removeContext---equalS
          constant[50]/
Do 1 to 1 mapping between row,plantcode,element1,element2,element3 from source to target structure
create 2 target message Interface for the same target message type
Finally Create an interface mapping and reference the both target interfaces in target interfaces. Enter your message mapping in the interface mapping.(1--source Interface and 2 target Interfaces)
In ID, Interface determination choose Enhanced radio button and under inbound interfaces add both the target Interfaces

Getting the Source File name Info into Target Message

Hi all,
I want to get the Source file name Info into Target message of one of the fields.
i followed Michal BLOG /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14
Requirement :
1) I am able to get the Target file name as same as the source file name when i check the ASMA in Sender & Receiver Adapter , with out any UDF...............this thing is OK
2) I took One field extra in the target structure Like "FileName" & I mapped it Like
Constant(" " )--UDF-----FileName
I Checked the Option ASMA in Both Sender & Receiver Adapters
Here iam getting the Target File name as same as Source file name + Source File name Info in the Target Field " FileName".
I Dont want to get the Target File name as same as Source file name. I want like Out.xml as Target file name.
If i de-select the Option ASMA in Adapters means it is showing " null" value in the target field "FileName".
Please Provide the Solution for this
Regards
Bopanna

Hi All,
Iam able to do this by checking the Option ASMA in only sender adapter itself

Add file name to the element in target message

Hi all!
I try to configure scenario:
Get all files from directory (it will not be the same number of file every time) and mapping this file to the ERP system. I use File adapter to do this. But what Is necessary I need to mapp the file name to the element in target message.
I mean: When I have got the RFC structure imprted from ERP and there I have got the element "filename". I would like to put the file name of file which I mapping to this element. Next put the all file contents with file name to the ERP table.
It is possible to do that??
I found in sap help that I can keep file name in the message header to get the same target file name, but I wont to put file contents (with file name) to the ERP table not to another file.

Message split ABAP mapping

Hello everybody,
for a special mappging I use ABAP mapping -everything fine.
But I need to split the message with ABAP mapping.
Does anybody know if this is possible ?
In the ABAP-class I use the interface IF_MAPPING. This has as a result parameter the parameter RESULT Type XSTRING (no table).
It only works to add to XMLs in 1 XML string, but my result have to be 2 XML files.
Alternatively would it be an idea to use multi message mapping (graphical first) AND then ABAP-mapping for special mappings?
Thanks a lot,
Florian

Florian,
for multimappings in coded mappings (xslt, java and abap mappings) you'll also create a single stream, but in this case, the stream may have the following format:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:Messages xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/XI/SplitAndMerge">
<ns0:Message1>
    <b><enter your first message here></b>
</ns0:Message1>
<ns0:Message2>
    <b><enter your second message here></b>
</ns0:Message2>
</ns0:Messages>
where <ns0:MessageX> tags refer to each different target message type.
In the case you have a 1:n split, you'll have only 1 message type, but may have several messages within it.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:Messages xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/XI/SplitAndMerge">
<ns0:Message1>
    <b><My_message id=1></b>
    <b></My_message></b>
    <b><My_message id=2></b>
    <b></My_message></b>
</ns0:Message1>
</ns0:Messages>
Also, remember that, when you define an interface mapping as multimapping (meaning, you set either source, target or both interfaces to multiple messages, your input stream will also contain the <ns0:Messages> and <ns0:MessageX> tags, so you need to treat them in your mapping program.

Henrique.

Target Message for generation HTML email?? : Michal's Blog (2718)

hey folks,
I'm trying out the scenario described in Michal's blog <a href="/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/23/xi-html-e-mails-from-the-receiver-mail-adapter">XI: HTML e-mails from the receiver mail adapter ?</a>
What should be the target message type/interface which is generated by XSLT mapping? If it is an message type containing relevant HTML tags (HTML, BODY, P, OL etc), is there any standard XSD/DTD for HTML tags..something similar to XSD for mail package?
The XSLT mapping seems to generate a HTML code w/o any XML header (<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>). Is an XML message w/o this header valid?
I appreciate your help/inputs
thx in adv
praveen

Praveen,
it can be anything
Reason is that the output of your XSL mapping will not be validated against the target XSD and so you can create a dummy messagetype or use the source itself as the target message type etc.

Two 1-N relationships in target message

Hi
I am new to using the functions in message mapping and I was wandering if an expert could please offer me some help. I have a scenario where I need to produce two messages from the source message based on the number of line items for example, if there are 2 line items, the mapping needs to produce 2 messages from the source message. This part I have managed to get working fine.
The problem is that the target message has two 1-N relationships (i.e inside the header and payload) and am I am struggling to produce 2 MessageDestination nodes per message. The mapping that I am currently using only produces 2 MessageDestination nodes inside the first message and not the second message aswell (I am using the splitByValue function). Please see example below:
Source:
Message1
Header
-MessageDestination
--Destination[Destination1]Destination
-MessageDestination
-MessageDestination
--Destination[Destination2]Destination
-MessageDestination
Header
Payload
LineItem
-LineItem
--Line[Line1]Line
-LineItem
-LineItem
--Line[Line2]Line
-LineItem
Payload
Output:
MESSAGE1
Header
-MessageDestination
--Destination[Destination1]Destination
-MessageDestination
-MessageDestination
--Destination[Destination2]Destination
-MessageDestination
Header
Payload
LineItem
-LineItem
--Line[Line1]Line
-LineItem
-LineItem
--Line[Line2]Line
-LineItem
Payload
MESSAGE2

--Destination[Destination1]Destination
-MessageDestination
Header
Payload
LineItem
-LineItem
--Line[Line1]Line
-LineItem
-LineItem
--Line[Line2]Line
-LineItem
Payload
The following is the required output that I need to produce (i.e. 2 MessageDestination nodes per target message):
Required Target / Output:
MESSAGE1
Header
-MessageDestination
--Destination[Destination1]Destination
-MessageDestination
-MessageDestination
--Destination[Destination2]Destination

--Destination[Destination2]Destination
-MessageDestination

--Line[Line1]Line
-LineItem
-LineItem
--Line[Line2]Line
-LineItem

Any help will be appreciated very much.

Multiple target messages

Hello,
for our business process, we need to map a single source message to multiple target messages (of different message types).
The (ABAP)mapping takes care of this mapping, so I put a transformation step after my receiver step, that invokes this mapping.
What do I have to define after the transformation step: do I use a fork or a send-for-each-block or ... ? Since we're on SP15, can we use the "extended" option in the interface determination to facilitate our process ?
Thanks for your answers !
Kind regards,
Frederik

Hi,
What is the SP that you are using. If it is XI 3.0 and SP less than 14 then it is not possible. You need to use Abstract interface.
And why do you need Multimapping in the first place. You can do a simple mapping and in the receiver determination you can add more Business Server/System. Each Service/System you will have seprate IB interface and a separate Interface mapping.
Hope this solves your problem.
Thanks,
Prakash

Empty target message in 1 to n transformation

I am using a ccBPM to handle a 1:n message scenario. I believe I have done everything right:
<li>I have created a message mapping where target message has an occurrence of u201C0..undboundedu201D. When I test the message mapping it works 100% and produces multiple messages.</li>
<li>I have created an interface mapping where the target interface also has an occurrence of u201C0..unboundedu201D. I have tested it and it also works 100%.</li>
<li>In my ccBPM I have two container elements, one representing the source message and a second container that has the correct abstract interface and which is marked as a multiline container.</li>
However, if the message is processed in the ccBPM, I can see in the workflow log that the target message is empty in the transformation step.
Can anyone tell me what I could have done wrong or how I can debug it further to tell what the source of the problem is?

Hi Everyone
I found out what the problem was. When one tests the mapping in the graphical mapping tool, you will notice that SAP automatically puts your message inside two tags: <messages><message1></message1></messages>. These tags make sense of course, but the problem was that I put my message inside these tags manually before sending it to the transform. The result was that my message that had already contained the message tags was put inside yet another set of message tags. That is why my transform did not work.
I hope this will help you solve your problem if you encounter a problem similar to mine.
