Concept of 'x' fields mapping in BAPI

Hi Experts,
Please explain the concept of 'x' fields mapping in BAPI. Why do we need that ?
Thanks

"Max points are guarenteed"

As the previous answer says, it's a "true / false" flag to say you want the changes applied to a particular field... the BAPI code cannot just say:
if not some_field_name is initial.
change value of some_field_name.
endif.
because the initial value may be a valid value for "some_field_name" so you wouldn't be able to clear the field out with this logic.. so instead the BAPI logic is more like:
if some_field_name_flag = 'X'.
change value of some_field_name.
endif.

In XI Mapping multiple fields mapping to single target field.

Hi Friends,
In XI Mapping multiple fields mapping to single target field.
For example my requirement is :
Source Fields:(This RFC BAPI Structure)
Empno                0-1
EmpName           0-1
Address             0-1
Taget Field is:
Details               0-1
The above three fields passed to the Details Field. Here i am using Concat function
But i have one query on that on,Every field having "line Break" required.
Can you please help me out above this requirement.
Thanks in Advance,
Sateesh N.

If you want a line break between the three fields, then try
passing a,b,c to the udf and in the udf you would have
return a+"\n"+b+"\n"+c;

LDAP Field Mapping in 4.6C - Using WebAS 6.10+ as an LDAP Gateway

Dear All,
We have a need to enable CUP Functionality (we use GRC AC 5.3) for one of our oldest R/3 systems - on 4.6C. All other R/3 backends are on 4.7+ releases, so it's a multiple backend configuration for GRC AC.
However, LDAP Field Mapping functionality is missing in 4.6C. It was enabled through LDAPMAP in the higher releases only.
At the same time, I discovered in one SAP HR document a diagram, which shows that indeed 4.7+ can map and post data directly to LDAP, but for 4.6C and below you can use WebAS 6.10+ as an LDAP Gateway. Meaning that 4.6C calls through RFC some functions in the higher release R/3 system to use its functions for Field Mapping and further transfer of user data to the target LDAP server.
But... I can not find anywhere how to configure 4.7 / 6.0 servers to act as an LDAP Gateway for the older 4.6C server to bypass its limitation - absence of built-in LDAP Field Mapping functionality.
Advice on how to realise this concept will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Laziz

Hi,
In order to migrate users, groups and password you have to use the command ldapaddent as you did with this sintax:
# ldapaddent -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w secret -f /etc/group group
# ldapaddent -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w secret -f /etc/passwd passwd
# ldapaddent -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w secret -f /etc/shadow shadowNote that you must use passwd instead of people container.
I suggest you to check this article from BigAdmin http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/nis_ldap_part1.jsp

LSMW field mapping Rule-ABAP code

Dear Guru!
I'm new to ABAP, but I have to write a little in ABAP.
I create a LSMW project using BAPI for changing standart price of material.
Input data: material, price, posting date.
The point is: system should found in table MBEW all valuation areas and valuation types fo which the material record is exist and cang price for all these records.
I wrote a code for these fields in Field Mapping menu. But it puts in only one record whereas I need it to execute BAPI for all records.
I wrote the folliwing:
VALUATIONAREA                Valuation Area
                   Code:    tables MBEW.
                            select * from MBEW
                             where MATNR = ZHEADER-MATNR.
                            E1MATERIALVALUATION_PRICECH-VALUATIONAREA = MBEW-BWKEY.
                            endselect.
VALUATIONTYPE                Valuation Type
                   Code:    select * from MBEW
                             where MATNR = ZHEADER-MATNR.
                            E1MATERIALVALUATION_PRICECH-VALUATIONTYPE = MBEW-BWTAR.
                            endselect.
May be it's simple, may be not. But I don't know how do do it.
Will be grateful for any hints.
Thanks.

select endselect goes like a Loop, so if you don't store the value in some table (internal table), only the last row will be available to you as it will be overwritten everytime in the loop.
There is no need of using 2 selects, one select itself will give you all the data for that material in MBEW table. I don't understand what you are doing with
E1MATERIALVALUATION_PRICECH-VALUATIONAREA = MBEW-BWKEY
Is E1MATERIALVALUATION_PRICECH a structure ? You need somethng like
select * from MBEW
where MATNR = ZHEADER-MATNR.
E1MATERIALVALUATION_PRICECH-MATERIAL             = ZHEADER-MATNR
E1MATERIALVALUATION_PRICECH-VALUATIONAREA = MBEW-BWKEY.
E1MATERIALVALUATION_PRICECH-VALUATIONTYPE = MBEW-BWTAR.
Append E1MATERIALVALUATION_PRICECH to itab.             "(itab is internal table)
endselect.
Then use that itab for your purpose.

Problem in lsmw. step: display field mapping and conversion rule

hi,
The IDOC structure to be mapped is missing in step 5[lsmw using IDOC]. Hence target structures are missing in auto gnerated conversion program.
As a result the the step Convert Data step is failing.[Converted data cant be generated]
I am using standard BAPI charcteristics as my Basic Type.
Anyone having idea why the target structure is missing??..

The problem is solved....The field mapping was missing coz i didnt assign the target structure properly....

Message mapping problem: BAPI with range table parameters

A kind hello to all,
I try to call the BAPI_ALM_ORDERHEAD_GET_LIST in a 4.70 system via RFC connector. The configuration already works with another BAPI. With this here I get message mapping exception:
Trace level="1" type="T">com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException: RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformation: Zielelement /ns1:BAPI_ALM_ORDERHEAD_GET_LIST kann nicht angelegt werden. Prüfen Sie, ob die XML-Instanz für die Ausgangs-XSD und die Zielfeldzuordnung die Anforderungen der Ziel-XSD erfüllt. at com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.AMappingProgram.start
(How can I switch the trace language to English easily? I try to translate:
"BAPI_ALM_ORDERHEAD_GET_LIST cannot be created. Check if the XML instance meets the requirements for the output XSD and the destination field mapping meets the requirements of the destination XSD.")
But the mapping test tool in the Integration Builder Design does not report any warning or error.
My guess is that the problem lies in the parameter structure of the BAPI_ALM_ORDERHEAD_GET_LIST: I have to fill the IT_RANGES selection range table, so it looks as if I need several instances of the item in the corresponding XML. Can I use "Duplicate tree" in the mapping editor? Here I got another exception?
Many thanks for any help!
Regards,
Carsten

Hi Udo,
you gave the final hint, indeed I used a XML file that was not evidently not compliant to the message type I created (even though it had been validated by Altova XMLspy).
From now onwards I only use the "Create instance" function of the test tool to create the XML body of my test messages...
Thanks a lot,
and best regards,
Carsten

i have to add the 3   fields which r there in the my source fields to that
of the target fields ( as per the change in the requirement) in the 5th Step
i.e Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules
the Target strucutre & the Source fields( by clicking the button
Source field and selcting the fields from the popup menu) in the mapping and conversion step ,i want to add 3 fields which are availabe in the list of th source list which i want to map to the Target strucutre .
When i tried it is adding in the othe target field
presently i have mapping (5th sept ) as below.
   ZPA30_08                       LSMW
       Fields
           TABNAME                      Table Name

getting and saved in the TABNAME .
How can i map please let me know .

syamla

Hi,
So you need that this new field have data in old records?
1.- If you are in BI 7.0 and the logic or data for that New field are in the same Dimension, you can use a Remodeling to fill it. I mean if you want if you want to load from a Master Data from other InfoObject in the same Dim.
2.- If condition "1" is not yours.
First add the new field, then create a Backup Cube (both cubes with the new field) and make a full update with all information in the original Cube. The new field willl be empty in both cubes.
Create an UR from BackUp_Cube to Original_Cube with all direct mapping and create a logic in the Start Routine of the UR (modiying the data_package) you can look for the data in the DSO that you often use to load.
To do that both cubes have to be Datasources ( right click on Cube-> aditional function-> and I think is "Extract Datasource")
Hope it helps. Regards, Federico

Reg: Mandatory fields updation with BAPI

Hi..
We are working on BDC using BAPI. In this if flat files contians only 4 fields and the mandatory fields in the application are seven then system needs to through error message. But with BAPI the program is updating the database without throwing error eventhough all mandatory fileds are not filled up with data.. Where exactly we need to do modifications to get error message when mandatory fields are not filled up with input.
Regards

Hi Verendra
Sometimes the function modules/BAPI's used by SAP do a direct update on the database tables. In such scnearios the entries are created in the system even though if the mandatory entries are not filled.
If the number of mandatory fields are small, then before the BAPI call, check if all the mandatory fields are filled or not;throw error in case of empty fields & bypass the BAPI call.
In case the mandatory fields are too high, then in that case, please use BDC recording to update the data.

Chetan

ABAP code which will use function module during field mapping in LSMW

Hi,
During field mapping in LSMW, for one of the field called field, I want to use a function module 'QF05_RANDOM_INTEGER', which will generate random numbers and map that random number to that field.
How do I write ABAP code which uses function module, during filed mapping for a particluar field in LSMW ?
Please help...
Regards,
Tushar.

Hi Tushar,
You can write in FORM ROUTINE and LSMW.
I hope you know how to write ABAP code at field level.
If not ...
Come to change mode->select the field->Rule->ABAP Code
write a perform statement in ABAP code at field level.
PERFORM test using val
 changing valu.
Go to Utilities(at menu)->switch layout-> extras ->select Layout->check Form routine-> it will display a FORM Routine... at bottom
this is the place where you can write some code for
 FORM test using value
 changing value1
FM call....
.ENDFORM
Get the value1 returned and use for the Field population.
Reward points if this Helps.

How to create Rules with Flex Field mapping in the bpm worklist

I Have created a flex field label and was able to map to the flex field attributes .
But when i try to create a rules , I don't see the label or the flex attributes in the task payload .
Can someone please help is understanding how to create Rules with Flex Field mapping in the bpm worklist .
Even I am also searching for any scripts which will take the flex fields prompts and can directly create a label in the bpm worklist .
Any pointers or suggestion is highly appreciated .

Hi,
SE38 -> Enter program
Select Variants button and display. In the next screen, enter a variant name, (If not existing , press Create to create new one), else click on Change.
Now the selection screen will display with a button "Variant Attributes" at the top.
Click on that button.
In the next screen, go to the selection variable column of the date field. Press F4 or drop down and select 'D' for date maintenance.
In the column "Name of Variable (Input Only Using F4)" press F4 or drop down, select whichever kind of date calculation you want and save the variant.
Now whenever you run the prgrm with this variant, date will be displayed by default.

Error in mapping the BAPI to the model in vc

Hi all,
I am new to the visual composer.
I have created the new model, i am trying to map the bapi to the model. iam getting the followin error when tried to select the avialable bapi in the VC
error : Failed to fetch the meta data
This selected element can not be added to the New model
Can any body guess what is this error.
Regards
Vijay

Hi Vishal,
This error is coming because you are trying to map the bapi to the model itself. You can only map a bapi to an iView.
Go to Compose Model tab on the right, and select an iView from the Components given. Double click or drag to add it to your model. When you go inside your iView, you will be able to map your bapi now.
Go to page 34 in the following doc:

Example of a custom field mapping?

Ok, I admit it I am struggling here. I have simplified my example from
what I actually have.
I have a table that models a flat hierarchy
ID | START_DATE | END_DATE | CLASSNAME | FIELD1 | FIELD2 | ...
one of the objects in my hiearchy (CashFlow) has a field that is in fact
another object called DatePeriod that contains two fields startDate and
endDate.
I understand that what I am trying to do is embed the DatePeriod object
inside of the larger object when it get's persisted.
I have the following metadata set-up
<class name="CashFlow" persistence-capable-superclass="InstrumentFlow">
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="table" value="INSTRUMENT_FLOW"/>
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="pk-column" value="ID"/>
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="class-column" value="none"/>
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="lock-column" value="none"/>
<field name="accrualPeriod" embedded="true"/>
</class>
and for my DatePeriod object
<class name="DatePeriod">
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="table" value="INSTRUMENT_FLOW"/>
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="pk-column" value="ID"/>
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="lock-column" value="none"/>
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="class-column" value="none"/>
<field name="startDate">
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="data-column" value="START_DATE"/>
</field>
<field name="endDate">
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="data-column" value="END_DATE"/>
</field>
</class>
Every time I try to fetch a CashFlow object I get an error as KODO is
trying to select the column 'ACCRUALPERIODX.'
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to use a custom field mapping? If so
where is the documentation to help me write a custom field mapping?
A second question would be what happens if the DatePeriod object is used
in a couple of places, I don't want to tie it's persistence to the
INSTRUMENT_FLOW table.
All help gratefully received
Cheers
Matt

As you suspect, Kodo 2.x does not support embedded class mappings. Kodo
3.0 will support embedded mappings.
In the meantime, you can create a custom mapping, but unfortunately our
documentation for custom mappings is lacking right now. Given how simple
your DatePeriod object is, you're probably better off with something
simpler (and as a bonus, less bound to Kodo):
Just make your DatePeriod class and the field that holds the DatePeriod
instance non-persistent. In the class that has the (now non-persistent)
DatePeriod field, add two new persistent fields for the startDate and
endDate. Then just use internal logic to construct the DatePeriod from
the startDate and endDate. You can do this using the
javax.jdo.InstanceCallbacks methods, or just do the logic in your setter
and getter methods for the DatePeriod.

How to change field mapping in IDOC

Hi Experts,
My requirement is to create a purchase requisition automatically through an interface using the IDOC sent by a *source client*.
For this i have used PREQCR as the message type, PREQCR02 as basic type.
E1BPEBANC & E1BPEBANTX are the segment type i have to use.
I have created a Z process code in which the function module that i have used is IDOC_INPUT_PREQCR.
With the help of this i can map all the field values to PR.
Now there is a field in this idoc called vendor which comes from the source client.
Now the value that is maintained in this field(vendor) should go to the Text Id that is maintained at the header level. ( i.e. the header text. i.e. In transaction ME51N, the text IDs which we can see at header level, the vendor value should go in one of this text Id ).
Now how do i do this, because I am using standard funciton module IDOC_INPUT_PREQCR in which there is already field mapping that this vaue should go in this field and so on...
Do I have to use an exit for the same ?? If yes then which is the exit ??
Please suggest.
Regards,
Priti.

Hi,
I think there is no userexits available during the processing using function module "IDOC_INPUT_PREQCR". You have to copy this function module to a Z function module. Change as per your requirement and attach the new function module with the Z Process code created by you.

Vinod
