BPM - Bundle 2 Files to 1 - Mapping error.

I'm using BPM to bundle 2 messages into 1. The two Data Types for the Abstract MT are completly diferent. I got the BPM to work but my final Message are in different order. IF I check each xml before the transformation they are both in perfect order. The sequence is changed only for the Message2.
How can assure the same order of the lines as they are in the inbound message?
Message1
RecordSet Structure: Header,1,Line,*,Footer,1
RecordSet Sequence: Ascending
Header.keyFieldValue     0
Line.keyFieldValue     2
Footer.keyFieldValue     4
Message1 example:
0abc
2def
2ghi
2jkl
4mno
Message2
RecordSet Structure: Header,,Line1,,Line2,,Footer,,EOF,*
RecordSet Sequence: Variable
Header.keyFieldValue     11
Line1.keyFieldValue     22
Line2.keyFieldValue     23
Footer.keyFieldValue     33
EOF.keyFieldValue     88
Message2 example:
11ABC
22def
23iii
22ijk
23iii
33RTE
11VBN
22hjk
23iii
22yui
23iii
33QWE
88EOF
The target message DATA TYPE:
HeaderG (from Message2)
Line1G (from Message2)
Line2G (from Message2)
FooterG (from Message2)
EOFG (from Message2)
HeaderD (from Message1)
LineD (from Message1)
FooterD (from Message1)
Target Message example (HOW IT SHOULD BE):
11ABC
22def
23iii
22ijk
23iii
33RTE
11VBN
22hjk
23iii
22yui
23iii
33QWE
88EOF
0abc
2def
2ghi
2jkl
4mno
And the result I'm getting is:
11ABC
11VBN
22def
22ijk
22hjk
22yui
23iii
33RTE
33QWE
88EOF
0abc
2def
2ghi
2jkl
4mno
See how it sorts all the Header, Line1, Line2, Footer together in that order. AND IT is removing all the other Line2 '23' because the are the same.
I guess the error is in the Message Mapping I'm doing in the BPM, but I don't think there is any option to change the sequence, I might be wrong.
Sorry for my english, I've tried to make it clear.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi
i do not think so there is any error in the mapping side , check the file content content conversion parameters at the reciever side as the sequencing of the output file depends on the content conversion parmeters .
Thanks

  • File to idoc mapping error

    Hi,
    I am mapping a flat file to idoc in xi. If I execute the test data it works fine. But in actual run, it gave me the following mapping error:

    Is it due to some mapping error or some basis config issue?
    Thanks,
    Jassi

    Hi Jassi,
    This may be a mapping issue, try this:
    a)in interface mapping see if grids are formed at source and target after executing the test option,
    b)also take the xml of the idoc from sxmb_moni , copy it and paste it at the source of the mapping ( use the src tab now) and execute the mapping, is your file structute formed?

  • XI Flat File to JDBC Mapping Error

    Hi,
    I have been trying to insert some records from a flat file into a sybase database using the FILE adapter (with file content conversion) as a sender and the JDBC adapter as a reciever, but I keep getting mapping errors like:
    RuntimeException during appliction Java mapping com/sap/xi/tf/_mm_hh_file__hh_sybase_nombres_</Trace>
      <Trace level="1" type="T">com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException: RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformation: Cannot produce target element /ns0:mt_hh_sybase_nombres/STATEMENTNAME. Check xml instance is valid for source xsd and target-field mapping fulfills requirements of target xsd at com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.AMappingProgram.start
    I have read through some blogs and I still can't figure out what is wrong.
    Flat pipe separated file:
    Hans|Robert|Hahn|Gallegos
    Karina|Maria|Cordoba|Gutierrez
    Datatype for this file looks like this:
       Record                         1
          Row                          1...Unbounded
             Nombre                  1
             SegundoNombre     1
             ApPaterno              1
             ApMaterno             1
    Because the FILE adapter uses Content conversion, the file translates to:
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
      <ns:hh_test xmlns:ns="http://me.com">
      <Record>

    My database table looks like this:

        access                  1
          Nombres             1
          ApPaterno           1
          ApMaterno           1
    MAPPINGS as follows:
    Record ------> no mapping
    Row ------> STATEMENTNAME
    Constant ------> action
    Constant ------> TABLE
    Nombre + SegundoNombre ------> Nombres
    ApPaterno ----> ApPaterno
    ApMaterno ----> ApMaterno
    How do I do the mapping ? I've been through a lot of blogs and threads but I haven't found an example like this, a flat pipe separeted multiline file with records to be inserted in a database.

    Hans,
    The error shows you have an error in mapping. Also you have mapped constant for ACTION and TABLE. Here you have to hardcode the value INSERT or UPDATE etc for ACTION and the name of the table for TABLE.
    Check this weblog where he has mentioned everything what you are looking for:
    /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/06/01/file-to-jdbc-adapter-using-sap-xi-30
    Also once when you are done with mapping try to execute it in the test tab of mapping editor.

  • File to HTTP Mapping error in PI 7.1

    Hi Team,
    In my file to HTTP scenario- Im using file content conversion at source side . under MT , i have used Record node, under Record fileds. At target side I have used External definition. To generate multiple  records , Im using 0...unbound occurance in External defination.
    Example:
    MT_SOURCE
    -Record
    --fileds
    External_Definition
    -fileds
    After 0..unbound the structures looks like..

    ---fields
    Now I record context to Messages1 from MT_SOURCE and mapped with Externl_Definition node. My reguirement is , For every record occurance the target structure should generate . I have changed the occurance in Interface mapping as 0..unbound. BUt when im testing with 2 Records ,  i got the below error...

    Multi-mapping is not possible when you use Plain HTTP Adapter. You could use SOAP Receiver Adapter and check Do Not Use SOAP Envelope also make sure that your content-type is correct as checking this option changes the content-type to application/xml.

  • File Sender Scenario - Mapping error message

    Hi All
    Scenario
    I am trying to develop a test scenario where a record is read from the file and sent to R/3 using RFC (Bapi)
    So i believe this will involve a file adapter as sender and a RFC adapter as receiver, I have configured data types, message types, message mapping, interface mappings, sender determination, receiver determination etc.
    Problem
    When i put the text file in the polling directory the file is read, but there is an error,
    On checking Processed XML message in SXMB_MONI I see that the following steps listed
    1 - Inbound message (CENTRAL)
    2 - Receiver Determination
    3 - Interface Determination
    4 - Receiver Grouping
    5 - Message Branch According to Receiver
    6 - Request Message Mapping
    7 - Request Message Mapping
    Step 1 - 6 does not show any error message, step 7 has an error with the following message
    <SAP:Category>Application</SAP:Category>
      <SAP:Code area="MAPPING">EXCEPTION_DURING_EXECUTE</SAP:Code>
      <SAP:P1>com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_basic_paycreate_file_to_rfc_map~</SAP:P1>

      <SAP:P3>Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.Parser~</SAP:P3>
    Additional Information
    My Business System Commnication channel has a Sender File adapter, this file sender is configured to read from file system from a certain directory and message protocol is File Content Conversion.
    In Content Conversion parameters input fieldname and input separator are configured (does anything else need to be configured in this section?)
    My input file is of the structure aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd,eee,fff,ggg
    My Data Type is of the structure
    <data header>
         <aaa></aaa>
         <bbb></bbb>
         <ccc></ccc>
         <ddd></ddd>
         <branch1>
                   <eee></eee>

         <branch3>
                   <ggg></ggg>
         </branch3>
    </data header>
    Questions
    First question is why is there 2 instance of Request message mapping showing up in the monitor? Isn't this supposed to show up only once?
    Second question it appears that the problem is something to do with Mapping (Message Mapping) but i tried to test the message mapping manually using the data generated in the payload and it passes the mapping successfully.
    Third question, how is the input flat file converted to the complex structure of data type (as mentioned in additional information above) is this done by the input.filedNames that assigns the corresponding values from flat file to the data type?
    Fourth question - is there a way to run the process step by process (as a step through in other programming IDEs?) so the problem can be more easily identified?
    Thanks
    Anant

    Hi  All
    I little update - it appears that some of the scenarios developed earlier that were working earlier are now also failing at the same process of mapping with this error message.
    So i am suspecting that this is not a problem with the mappings in  my scenarios but rather a some technical setting related to how XI invokes this class - com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException.
    Does any one have any ideas what i can check to confirm this? Whether the problem is in the technical setting or the scenario configuration?
    thanks

    1. i changed the document name and namespace
    2. i checked for the occurence of the filed elements

    Can you give us the following details,
    1. select query that you are using in your JDBC sender adapter
    2.the Document Name and namespace that you have given in the JDBC adapter
    3. the source datatype that you have created for your JDBC side along with the occurence of each element.

  • Catch Mapping Error in File to IDoc scenario

    Configured BPM and now learning Error Handling. I know that through BPM we can handle system Errors, but I doubt whether Mapping error is a system error.
    I am interested to know the classification of errors with examples, preferably listing out all types of errors.
    Please provide some weblogs or explain briefly how to handle system and application errors through BPM.
    Thanks,
    Raja

    Hi Raja,
    You will need CCMS if you want to send the Alerts to external system or you want to access the ALerts from the transaction. You can capture your alerts without this also.
    When you go to Alert Configuration in the Runtime Workbench you can see Create Alert Rules. These rules are pertaining to the error generated in your AF,AE or IE.
    Once you have completed the whole config. The error happening in the AE, IE or AF would trigger the alert. you can see this in your Alert Inbox.
    The best would be if you go through the URL I have mentioned below.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/80/942f3ffed33d67e10000000a114084/content.htm
    You have to use BPM only if you want to do an activity after the alerts are raised.

    Hello,
    The XSD you are using is from Data Type and you are using it for mapping.
    Instead export XSD for Message Type and also pass the XML schema for source that will solve the issue and your XSLT will be generated.

    Error : RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformatio~
    Thanks ,
    Syed.

    Dear Syed Kumar
    Based on the blog you are executing the scenario I guess. The scenario is clearly focusing on the picking up the files using the mask attribute in File Access Parameters.
    As you mentioned clearly, that you are getting mapping error plz concentrate on how to rectify the mapping errors.
    will guide to do so.
    1. Go to SXMB_MONI and in the integration server and check for the message you are trying send.( I hope you did this)
    2. As it is giving you mapping error, Double click onthe message Flag showing red.
    3.Plz check the Payload XML content copy that content and paste in the message mapping Test section of IR.
    4. Execute the Test. If you get the message at the receiver side there shouldn't be any error.
    If you still get the error let me know.
    Best of Luck

    Do the Interface mapping test as well if you are successful in message mapping.

  • Catch mapping error message in BPM Exception branch

    Hi dudes,
    Does anyone know how to catch the mapping runtime error message into a BPM exception branch? I know how to create an exception branch and how to trigger it, but I wonder whether it's possible to pass the mapping error message as shown in SXI_MONITOR (i.e. 'Cannot create target element XXXXX. Values missing in queue context').
    Otherwise, everytime my BPM fails I will have to take the payload and run the mapping test in order to find out the reason of the error.
    Many thanks in advance!
    Paco

    Thanks,
    My problem is not about handling exception in BPM, but getting the mapping error description and then passing it to the exception branch.
    I can see in the workflow log that this info is contained into the Exception container EXCEPTIONS[2] / T100MSG:
    Message Class: SAI_MAPPING
    Message Number: 217
    Message Type: E
    Message Variable: com/sap/xi/tf/_<MM name>
    Message Variable: com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf7.IllegalInstanceExcepti
    Message Variable: on: Cannot create target element /ns1:<path/field>.Message Variable: Values~
    The text in bold is the one I am interested in to be get and mapped into the exception branch.

  • Mapping Error- In IDoc to File scenario

    Hi Experts,
    Got the Mapping error for one interface (IDoc to file). After comparing with successful message found that the field value (TDLINE) is not availbale in first segment (E1EDT10) in idoc for this failed one.
    Mapping is :
    TDLINE -- Exists --- Creatif --- Receiver field(in the file)
    But here due to the the empty value in first segment the message is failed in XI system, next segment values is not trasmitted to the recever end(maping is the same above). To overcome this issue please suggest the suitable mapping design in IR.
    Regards
    Mahesh

    Hi,
    After your CreateIf, use a "IfWithoutElse" by selecting the properties "Keep SUPPRESS Values". To do that, do a right click on IfWithoutElse, choose "Properties".
    With this option, you will keep the fact that you have nothing in the source, and so the target context will have a "SUPPRESS" line.  I have not THE solution, so do your own test.
    If it's not enough, see also about the "mapWithDefault" (but that depends of your real rule).

  • Mapping error in the BPM!!

    Hi Fiends,
    I have a BPM ..where I have the steps defined like this..
    Transform -> send mail..
    In the transformation ..I have a simple mapping program(source & the target structures have got one field)..
    message type structures are like this..
    source& target
    Return key  ---> 1:1
       field1 --->1:1
    mapping is like this :
    Field1--->field1(when field1 is not empty)
    If field1 is empty then -> I am sending some constant to the target ...and in the mapping it is working fine...
    My mail is working perfectly when there is some value in field1..and I am getting a mail..
    and when there is no value in field1..I am getting mapping error.
    do you have any idea..how can I solve this issue..plz help me..
    Thanks..

    Raju,
    Try tracing the "transformation" step in BPM. Check the instance of the message in sxmb_moni and click 'PE' so you will be in 'workflow log' here you could see the data flow of your message inside BPE. Here you can trace were your message got exception. If it is in transformation step then click on 'list tech details' (left top corner) then click on 'show container' button corresponding to that 'transformation step'. Its similar to using trace area in sxmb_moni. here you will be aware of mapping error.
    Hope it will be helpfull.

    Yuva

To my assumption, assume that the sender communication channel lastly polled on 10:10:10 and i am coping a file after 285 sec that is 10:14:55 and file size is 20 mb that takes 50 sec to copy. but the next sender communication channel poling is 10:15:10. here the file is partially copied but the communication channel picked the file and process. The scenarios throws mapping error because of in correct input file. This rarely accords but how to handle this. i want the cc to wait until the file is completely copied to the dir and then poll.

    Hi ,
    But there is some problem with system i guess. Adapter engine first load the whole file and then send it to Integration engine where after receiver and interface determination , mapping is excuted. So the fact that adapter picked up half of the file and tried to process does not seem correct.
    Ideally this behaviour should not occurs.
    If you are observing similar with all the adapter , you should also cross check with SAP support team.
