ABAP Mapping doubt

Hi.
I'm trying to do an abap mapping. I've read weblogs from Robert Eijpe. The samples contained in the weblog worked fine but i have a doubt.
ABAP class had a parameter called SOURCE. This parameter contains the XML but i think is contained in only one line. In the sample weblog, the XML is contained in an internal table.
Question is ... how can i transform this SOURCE of 1 line into an internal table?
Thanks.

Hi Inigo,
Please look at this..

ABAP MAPPING PROGRAM TRANSPORTATION ISSUE

Hi Experts,
Our issue is as following:
Already one ABAP mapping program is there in our DEV and in QA also.
Now we have changes the code according to some requirement.
Now we need to reflect the same in QA also.
For that I have certain doubts.
1) after releasing the request number in R/3, will it effect there in integration builder of the QA?
2) Is there any need to do in ADMINISTRATION to reflect the same?
Please revert urgenly.
Regards
sreeni

hi barry,
thanks a lot . we have released it into integration it is working fine.
thanks once again and i wll reward points also.
I think you can tell my one more doubt is as:
I have one new ABAP mapping program which is not used till now in any interface mapping in ID of XI.
now want use this my integration builder ID in as mapping program.
in this case is any requirement to enable the same in Integration ADMINISTRATION tab.
plz clarify me.

Dynamic configuration in ABAP Mapping

Dear All,
I have requirement to use the filename's name in the mapping to the target message.
e.g: Filename is Victor.303, i need to take this 303 and map it to the target message.
I understand i can get that value using dynamic configuration in Adapter-Specific Attributes.
But all the samples are using Java code used in UDF.
How to do the same in ABAP Mapping?
I tried:
   record = dynamic_configuration->get_record( namespace = 'http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File'
                                                    name = 'FileName').
But record-value return blank.
Best Regards,
Victor.

Dear Prateek,
I changed my code with:
DATA: record TYPE mpp_dynamic.
CALL METHOD dynamic_configuration->get_record
    EXPORTING
      namespace = 'http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File'
      name      = 'FileName'
    RECEIVING
      record    = record.
but record-value still return as blank.
I have doubt in this, do i need to populate the FileName in the dynamic configuration (in the graphical mapping) first before i can get the value in the ABAP mapping? or System should filled it and i just can use it directly in the ABAP mapping?
How we know what is the available name and namespace in that dynamic configuration-->get record??
(e.g: my case is FileName, and in the link that you gave is ERROR.)
Any link for this?
Best Regards,
Victor.

How to execute an ABAP Mapping after a Java Mapping

Hi, i have found a Bug in XI and SAP said to me that the only solution is to execute an ABAP mapping after my java mapping.
I have an IDOC to FILE scenario
Could anyone orient me on what do i have to configure, so after my java mapping i can execute an abap mapping ?.
Do i have to use process integration?
thanks
Mariano.

i have developed a Java mapping originally, but XI has a bug. When you do not write anything to the outputStream XI instead of writing an emtpy file writes a file containing one byte ( 0x00 ) and this is a problem.
SAP said to me that they will not fix this issue so they recomend me to create an abap mapping after my java mapping that will send no information if it receives this byte (0x00) and if not it will write all the information as received.
My doubt regarding putting several mappings in the interface mapping configuration is this...
Actual configuration:
SOURCE MSG A -> ORIGINAL MAPPING -> TARGET MSG B
Proposed configuration
SOURCE. MSG A -> ORIGINAL MAPPING -> TARGET MSG B
SOURCE. MSG A -> PATCH MAPPING -> TARGET MSG B
I dont understand what receives de "patch mapping" it receives the structure from TARGET MSG B?

ABAP Dictionary structure for use in ABAP Mapping

Hello, I'm creating an ABAP mapping class which requires me to use standard ABAP dictionary (table) structures (ex.MARA, KNA1 etc) for the mapping as the data coming into the mapping is in that format. I'm creating the ABAP class in the PI server and do not have table structures (MARA, KNA1 etc) in the dictionary in the PI server. What is the efficient way to create these structures (as Z elements) in the PI server's dictionary?
I have the XSD of these table structures. Can I import those XSDs into the ABAP dictionary in PI servers? If yes, how can it be done? Please help!

Yes you can import it as an external definition data and create the data type based on this XSD. Go through the link below for more information on the steps to import and how to use it.

Acces dynamic configuration variable (e.g. filename) in ABAP mapping class

Hi experts
I am searching for a possibility to acces a dynamic configuration variable (DCV) in an ABAP mapping class. Since I could not find a solution in SDN and other sources, I hope somebody in this forum can help me.
What I already found is the following code which can be used to set a DCV, but what I would be interested in is how to read a DCV.
Any help is appreciated.

IDOC-XI-FILE Scenario: Error in ABAP Mapping

Dear All,
I am working on IDOC-XI-Flat FIle scenario in which I am using ABAP Mapping as per document "How To Convert an IDoc-XML
structure to a flat file and vice versa in XI 3.0".
I created one customized Idoc for this. The Idoc is reacing XI but its flat file is not getting created. Its giving me following error:
<SAP:Stack>Error in mapping program Z_ABAP_MAPPING_PACKING_LIST (type SAP-ABAP, kernel error ID UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION) An exception with the type CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL occurred, but was neither handled locally, nor declared in a RAISING clause Dereferencing of the NULL reference.</SAP:Stack>

I have also gone thru threads posted for the same topic earlier but still I am not been to resolve this error.
Please help me out in resolving this error.
Regards,
N.Jain

HI,
   Log saying that, u have problem in the mapping program.
i.e Z_ABAP_MAPPING_PACKING_LIST
   the problem is due declaration of data.
   i hope that, you have some methods.
   those are declared under intialization section in mapping program.
please use start of selection before the method.
other wise, it will come under intilization section.

Hi Sarvesh,
The pdf has details of ABAP mapping. The example given almost matches the xml file you want to be converted.

Issue in ABAP Mapping

Hi All
I am using ABAP mapping.
After getting children of the root node, i create an iterator by the following statements:
node_collection = root_node->get_children( ).
node_iterator = node_collection->create_iterator( ).
Now, In a loop, i want to get all the children in sequence. So, in the loop i am writing this statement:
child = node_iterator->get_next( ).
For the first iteration in the loop, 'child' gets the first child. But, for the second iteration, the 'child' value is becoming NULL.
Am i doing anything wrong? How can i fix this?
Thanks
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
you should first check the existence of the node in something like:
lo_xml_iterator = lo_xml_node_coll->create_iterator( ).
lo_xml_node = lo_xml_iterator->get_next( ).
while not lo_xml_node is initial.
lo_xml_node = lo_xml_iterator->get_next( ).
endwhile.

Variable Substitution not working when using ABAP mapping

Hi all,
I am doing an IDoc to File scenario.
Due to some complex mapping requirements, i had to use ABAP mapping for IDoc to File ( IDoc : SHPMNT05)
There is also one more requirement where in i need to generate the receiver filename dynamically
i.e the filename is of the form :
GW-XYZ-DD/MM/YYYY.csv
Where
XYZ is the Shipment number (E1EDT20- TKNUM)
DD/MM/YYYY is the IDOC creation date in ECC (EDIDC-CREDAT)
so i used the variable substitution option in receiver file adapter.
But its not working.
Is there any limitation for using the variable Substitution, doesnt variable substitution work in case of ABAP mapping?
Regards,
Loveena.

Hi,
u written ABAP mapping program to get the file name in the required format ,
is it rt?
when u test it at message mapping(including ABAP map program)
u get the the required format of file name in the one of target filed.
if that was fine, please check the variable substituiton parameters at receiver file adapter.
i mean, are u maintain variable name and refernece.
u have to specify the payload information.
warm regards
mahesh.

ABAP mapping split messages and dynamic filename

Hello,
i have set up a IDOC to file scenario where the IDOC is split into several files, which works fine. In addition to this it is required to set a dynamic filename out of the ABAP mapping for each file. If only one file is created this works already as well but how do you set the dynamic configuration when the messages are split?
Regards,
Andreas
Edited by: Andreas on Feb 26, 2009 9:09 AM

you cannot do dynamic configuration for message splits. The below is from SAP help.
Adapter-Specific Attributes and Multi-Mappings
In multi-mappings, there are multiple message headers with adapter-specific attributes. The mapping API can only access one message header. This has the following consequences depending on whether there are multiple source or target messages:
u25CF     1:n Transformation
If there are multiple target messages, the header for the adapter-specific attributes is copied for each message. This means that you can only create one header for all adapter-specific attributes, and not individual headers.
u25CF     n:1 Transformation
This variant is only possible for multi-mappings in integration processes. If there is more than one source message, read-access to the adapter-specific attributes of the various message headers is not possible at runtime.
u25CF     m:n Transformation
All afore-mentioned restrictions apply here. Developers can at most write the same adapter-specific attributes for all target messages to the header, without read-access to the attributes of the source messages. m:n transformations are only supported within integration processes.
What i will suggest is to use BPM to have the message split i.e 1:N mapping and then after that have another mapping 1-1 to have the dynamic configuration

XI 7.0 ABAP-Mapping in Design Builder (Interface Mapping)

Hi,
in XI 3.0 there was the possibility to specify a ABAP-Mapping-Class in the Interface Mapping. In XI 7.0 the
entry ABAP-Mapping is somehow missing in the drop-down-Box, there is a Message-Mapping, JAVA-Mapping and XSLT-Mapping but no ABAP-Mapping :-(.
Did this move somewhere else or are ABAP-Mapping's not possible anymore ??
Best Regards,
Frank Marx

Frank,
You need to activate ABAP and XSLT mapping.

Abap mapping and variable substitution in File adapter

Hi experts!!.
I am new in abap mapping, but I can do one abap mapping succesfully, but my problem is:
I need to do a variable substitution in my file receiver adapter:
Target directory = %cliente&/out
File Name Scheme = TC%Fecha%.EFI
¿Using abap mapping is this possible? How I can do it?.
Please is very urgent.
Thanks in advance, and best regarts.

Yes you can,.
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
    http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File,
    FileName);
will become
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
    http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File,
    Directory);
In the receive file adapter all you would need to do is select Adapter Specifc Attributes --> File Name and Directory and givce some dummy values for the filename and directroy. In the runtime values will be taken from the SOAP header which you set in the mapping.

Bhavesh

Dynamic configuration in integration process using abap mapping

Hi everybody,
i have the following scenario:
file adapter -> integration process -> file adapter
The integration process uses an ABAP mapping and sets the filename in dynamic configuration as follows:
*-- Set Parameter
    clear ls_dyn_record.
    ls_dyn_record-name      = gc_dyn_config_name.
    ls_dyn_record-namespace = gc_dyn_config_ns.
    ls_dyn_record-value     = <new_file_name>
*-- Write configuration
    ir_dyn_config->add_record( ls_dyn_record ).
But now the new filename is not reflected in the file adapter (receiver). In the integration monitor (SXMB_MONI) i still find the old filename.
Whats wrong?
Elko

The ABAP mapping is more complex, setting filename in Dyn. Conf. is just one step in mapping.
If I check the Workflow protocol of the Integration Process, I find the following in the Trace of the ABAP-Mapping:
The filename has been set to 3233340.SWNF00HW.P10I. The Suffix P10I has been added in the ABAP mapping.
When I check the subsequent message in SXMB_MONI I find:
The added suffix is missing in the filename !!
