What does Message mapping patterns mean?
I have cert docs but nothing verifies this.
Thanks for your time,
Priya.

Hi,
Mapping patterns are some of the common mapping requirements found in the past which XSLT was used, because we did not think that Message Mapping provided the functionality
Summarization
SequenceNumber Generation
Duplicating Subtrees
Table / Value Lookups
TreeReversal

I need to sort the incoming file contents before message mapping

Hi All,
I have requirement like i have to sort the file contents before message mapping in Xi. is there any option please suggest me with your value information.i dont want to sort in message mapping before that i want file contents to be sorted order.waiting for your quick reply.
Thanks,
seshagiri

Hi,
You can do this in one scenario.
Lets say you have MT_Source and MT_Target as two message types.
Now your MM1 will be between MT_Source & MT_Source, that is same message type. Here you built your sorting logic.
Now create MM2, between MT_Source & MT_Target. Here your actual mapping logic will be implemented. The input payload for MM2 will be sorted data.
Now in operation mapping, first call MM1 and then call MM2 (You have a plus + sign to add multiple mapping programs). Due to this sequence, at run time first MM1 will be executed and after that its oupt will be given to MM2 as source payload.
Hope its clear. Plz let me know if you have any doubts.

Content dependent message-mapping

I have an interface who delivers 7 different XML files to the same location. I need different XSL mapping depending on the content of the files. I can define an XPATH expression who tells me which file I have received.
But how do I define the mapping depending of the file contens??
/Jakob

Hi Jakob,
You can have one reciever determination with multiple interface determination which in turn use mapping programs.
You dont require any condition for reciever determination as your target is always one.
Using templates is a better Idea, cause you always generate a target structure going to reciever and generate templte based on your condition.

Need Clarification on Looping in Message Mapping.

Hi All,
I'm trying to implement the Dynamic emailing as explained in the Michals blog.
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/07/mail-adapter-xi--how-to-implement-dynamic-mail-address
I have this partially working for the scenario I have.
XI will be receiving a ORDRSP IDoc from an external system and XI needs to do the following.
1) Check the value of <b> E1EDP01-ABGRU </b> equals to Z2. If any of the E1EDP01-ABGRU has a value of Z2, it should do the following
         a) Get the email address from the E1EDKA1-ILNNR and map it to the TO field as shown in the blog.
          b) Get the values of BELNR-E1EDK01, MENEE, VPREI, POSEX, PEINH, ABGRT from the E1EDP01 segment and concatenate them all and map it to the Content tag as explained in Michals blog.
I have this process partially working. The XI interface is only mapping for the first occurrence of E1EDP01 and not the subsequent occurrences of E1EDP01 which matches the criteria ( E1EDP01-ABGRU = Z2)
Any help in getting fixing this problem??
Thanks

Make sure to define multiple target messages in your message and interface mappings, for the mail package message definition (occurrence = 0...unbounded).
Also, in the logic of your message mapping, you need to create a new mail package message only if E1EDP01-ABGRU = 'Z2'. Use it like this:
ABGRU   ---   EqualS   ---   createIf   ---   Mail
Constant[Z2]

Henrique.

Is there pre-configured message mapping for SRM Content?

Hi,
My requirement is to do a message mapping between the SRM Message "Purchase Order Request" and the R/3 Idoc Orders01. Is there a preconfigured message mapping in SRM content or will I have to do it?
I see the generated proxy class from the outbound message interfacePurchaseOrderRequest_Out which will carry the message to XI and my requirement is to map it to the Interface ORDRSP.Orders01 Please let me know if there is a pre-configured message mapping for this ? or is the message mapping between the message "Purchase Order Request" and the R/3 IDOC ORDERS01 to be done by the developer himself?

HI,
There are mappings available in the predelivered SRM content from SAP.
Did you import the SRM content into the repository? If so , you can find this.
www.service.sap.com/ibc -> Integrated Business Content for mySAP SRM->
Hope this helps,
Rgds,

XI message mapping clarifications

Dear All
I would like to know if XI message mapping(graphical mapping) can be
used for mapping based on the order of elements given in the XML source
message.
For example I have a source message as below
Source XML:
<Source>
<givenname>Ramesh</givenname>
<givenname>Kumar</givenname>
<givenname>Ganapathy</givenname>
</Source>
semantic is first instance of <givenname> needs to be mapped <firstname> in target,
Second occurance of <givenname> needs to be mapped <secondname>,
Third occurance of <givenname> needs to be mapped <familyname>
Target XML
<Target>
<firstname>Ramesh</firstname>
<secondname>Kumar</secondname>
<familyname>Ganapathy</familyname>
</Target>
As I understand graphical mapping editor works based on Xpath
expressions, Is it possible to achieve such mapping schematics with
graphical mapping and UDF in XI.
Please note I cannot use Java, ABAP or XSLT mapping programme.
Can you provide me some hints on how to do this.
Thanks
Satish

Hi Chilla
This is how I am currently handling it. But my problem is
The number of UDF's keeps increasing if I have a fourth, fifth element to handle. I have to create new UDF for every new level added.
Is there a way I can do this with single UDF.
result.addValue(givenname(X));
X- will be the position and I can pass values as an argument to the UDF.
Again the problem here is when I have second argument to specify which value of input to pick up say for example givenname(1) or givenname(2)
The second argument expects an String[] array as argument and not string(when i assign a constant its a string).
So I cannot attach a constant to the second argument and pass the input.
Is there any functions that can return a String[] array as an output taking sting value as input.
Thanks
Satish

Needs Clarification for Certification exam 11g OCP

Hi,
Friends, Kingly guide me. I'm under huge pressure. I'm preparing for Oracle 11g for last 6 months and attend the training as well but I've some fear regarding exam. what I've seen in the sample question that there are mostly cramming question as well in the exam. Please tell me how can I pass the exam. Some time it seems to me that Working in Oracle is easy but passing certification is Hercules Job. Can I use to exam simulation engine recommended by oracle to pass the certification exam.(selftest.com)
Will it guarantee that I'll pass the exam. You all are aware that no one can memorize the whole book provided by Oracle corporation. Please guide me because it will get costly for me as I have to purchase the engine and If I not succeed I'll get huge financial lost as well. As whole month salary will be spent on single paper. Ill going to appear in the exam in next week I belong from Asian region, it'll be costly for me. Please guide me in this regard.

Regards,
VickyIn general the Oracle and / or Sybex books, when they are avaialble for an exam, inlcude sample questions and practice exams on cdroms are a failry effective indicator of where you are in process.
I would imagine the self test simulator is even better.
They is no guarentee ever of passing the exam; there is just a real probability.

Your most cost effect route is probably via the Oracle Books ..... it may be worth delaying the exam slightly until you are confident. IMHO you would not have sufficient time to absorb maximum benefits from practice exams at the point unless you sail through the perfectly.

How to check a field in Message mapping wether it is Non Numeric?

Hi XI Guru's
I am totally new to XI world, Kindly help hopw can I chexk a field while doing message mapping whether the field is non numeric or not.
I dont find any built in function for the same.
If it is using UDF can some body help me in providoing a UDF for this.
Many Thanks
Arun

Hi Arun,
In SAP PI, all the XML contents by default treated as STRINGS.
So if u want to check whether the incoming field is numeric or not... the only way is to write a UDF code for the same.
the UDF will be,
1. At first
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
in functions.
2.UDF content:
input: field,container
output:boolean
Code
boolean return_Value;
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("[0-9]*"); // If u are using the decimals please change the regular expression accordingly.
Matcher m = p.matcher(field);
if(m.matches())
retuen_Value = true;
else
return_Value = false;
return return_Value ;
I hope this will solve ur problem....
Babu

Which mapping pattern would work for this?

Hi,
i been trying to create a mapping program.
the source structure is as
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:Messages xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/XI/SplitAndMerge">
<ns0:Message1>
    <ns:MT_SOURCE xmlns:ns="http://test.bsa.demo">
      <GT_ABC>
        <field1>6</field1>
        <keyfield>1001</keyfield>
        <field2>2</field2>
      </GT_ABC>
      <GT_ABC>
        <field1>6</field1>
        <keyfield>1002</keyfield>
        <field2>2</field2>
      </GT_ABC>
      <GT_XYZ>
        <field1>7</field1>
        <keyfield>1002</keyfield>
        <field2>3</field2>
      </GT_XYZ>
      <GT_XYZ>
        <field1>12</field1>
        <keyfield>1003</keyfield>
        <field2>3</field2>
      </GT_XYZ>
      <GT_XYZ>
        <field1>15</field1>
        <keyfield>1004</keyfield>
        <field2>4</field2>
      </GT_XYZ>
    </ns:MT_SOURCE>
</ns0:Message1>
</ns0:Messages>
and the desired target structure to be generated is based on the total no. of keyfield entries.
suppose that keyfied entry has values,
1002 for substructures GT_ABC and GT_XYZ
1001 for substructures GT_ABC.
then there should be 2 occurences of target structure for keyfields 1001 and 1002 respectively.
for the occurence of 1001 the structure MT_KEYFIELD should have substructure GT_ABC
for the occurence of 1002 the structure MT_KEYFIELD should have substructures GT_ABC and GT_XYZ since both of them have keyfield value as 1002
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:Messages xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/XI/SplitAndMerge">
<ns0:Message1>
    <MT_KEYFIELD> 0..unbounded
      <GT_ABC>   0..unbounded
        </field1>
        </keyfield>
        </field2>
      </GT_ABC>
      <GT_XYZ>   0..unbounded
        </field1>
        </keyfield>
        </field2>
      </GT_XYZ>
    </MT_KEYFIELD>
</ns0:Message1>
</ns0:Messages>
after mapping is executed the target strucuture should be as shown below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:Messages xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/XI/SplitAndMerge">
<ns0:Message1>

which mapping pattern would helpful for this?????

I am an independent web designer/developer and have separate
clients with non-related websites each of which is hosted remotely.
Would I be able to set up a client as a Contribute user (assuming
they bought the software) and allow them to edit areas of their
site?
Yes, that is possible. Each client would have his own license
though. You could then administer the sites from your own copy of
Contribute.
This may seem like a dumb question, but in going through
several tutorials it isn't clear to me whether Contribute is
intended for content editors all of whom work within one
organization and who all access a web server within their
organization's IT network to do this editing. I can't quite
understand how the software on the desktop on my client's computer
interfaces at all with settings that I set on my own installation.
Is some server technology needed here?
The editors don't have to be working in the same organization.
The connection is made through ftp-like connections from the users
computer to the server, and the administration of the site is
maintained at the server and kept up to date at the clients
computer. I suggest you download the trial version of Contribute
CS3 to check it out.
