Context handling

Hi,
I have a scenario where I am sending an XML file and I have to map it to standard matmas IDoc and post it to ECC.
In the target IDoc structure, we have one segment E1MLGNM for warehouse number and it has one child E1MLGTM for storage type for that warehouse with multiple instances.
But In the source structure, It is NOT coming as parent and child, They are in the same level with multiple instances. The warehouse number will be the key in both the segment to create a parent child relationship.
I can use SplitByValue to create target warehouse segments E1MLGNM for Each value of the source warehouse structure.
Now to map StorageType, I need to create it at the child level of the E1MLGNM instance with the same wharehouse number which is there in the source storagetype segment.
Do you have any idea how that can be acheived without using ABAP/Java mapping?
Source
<Warehouse Segment> -
n instance
<Warehouse Number>
<Other Fields>
</Warehouse Segment>
<Storage segment> -
n instance
<Warehouse Number>
<Storage Type>
<Other Fields>
</Storage segment>
Target
<Warehouse Segment> -
n instance
<Warehouse Number>
<Other Fields>
<Storage segment> -
n instance
 <Storage Type>
 <Other Fields>
</Storage segment>
</Warehouse Segment>
Thanks,
Vijay

Hi Guys,
Any idea on this?

Context handling in message mapping for an IDoc to File Scenario

Hi,
Can somebody help me with this issue. I have an Idoc to file scenario. heres my idoc structure. Its a custom Idoc
Header (1..1)
Detail (0..Unbounded)
         DependentDetail (0...Unbounded)              Note: This dependentdetail is a subelement of Detail
Trailer(1...1)
I created my target structrure the same way as the Idoc structure.
My output is a simple text file. I need the output in this format
Header
Detail1
   Dependentdetail1
   DependentDetail2
   DependentDetail3
Detail2
   DependentDetail1
   Dependentdetail2
Detail3
Detail4
Trailer
Since the Detail and Dependent Detail records are unbounded .
But right now i m getting my output like this:
Header
Detail1
Detail2
Detail3
Detail4
Trailer
But the DependentDetail record in not showing up in the output file. I didnot do any context change in my mapping. So do I need to do any context handling??...If so can somebody explain me with this.
Thanks,
Adam

Thanks Kenneth foryour quick reply,
Yes, I see the payload for Dependent detail in SXMB_MONI. So as you said earlier there's a problem with my content conversion.
my content conversion is as follows:
Header.fieldNames
Header.fieldFixedLengths
Header.endSeparator
Detail.fieldNames
Detail.fieldFixedLengths
Detail.endSeparator
DependentDetail.fieldNames
DependentDetail.fieldFixedLengths
DependentDetail.endSeparator
Trailer.fieldNames
Trailer.fieldFixedLengths
Trailer.endSeparator
So As I told earlier. With the above content conversion. I am not able to get the Dependent detail record in my output file. So If there is a change in my content conversion can u check it and tell me where I went wrong.
Thanks,
Harsh

Context handling during message mapping

Hi,
I'm working on a mapping and it almost works. There is just 1 thing to solve. I use the fixvalues funtion with as input a field A in a segment of my Idoc. This function is used to map a field B in another segment. However as this segment has multiple occurences, I have problems with the context handling: the first timle works ok but then it fails (as the filed A is in another segment/context). How could I fix this? I would like to avoid UDF as I don't know much java.
Kind regards,
Ulrich

Hi Ulrich,
Mapping A_source-Fixvalue-B_target
In the above case What are the elements exist in A_Source same thing will be transfered to B_target . If it is not find any value in Fixvalue table then it will pass the default value. So provde the default value.
If there is not element in context then it won't create b_target not at all for that context. So use the Mapwithdefault() nodefunction before passing the value B_target. so in that case it will generate the empty value instead of none.
Warm Regards,
Vijay

Context Handling functions

Hi,
Can someone point me to a blog or article which shows real life scenarios for Context handling functions as I want to practice what I have read. I have already read some articles on these functions(removecontext, usoneasmany etc) and I understand contexts and also context change etc

Context Handling problem

Hi all,
I have a problem with a context handling requirement. I think UDF is needed in this case but I don't know where to start. Please see below for the scenario:
I have an input structure like this:
segment1
 field1
segment2
 field2
segment3
 field3
node2
 field2
node3
 field3
node3
 field3
the fields will corelate the segment and the node. so for this structure, segment2 and node2 are corelated. Actually, node2 is under segment2.
here's my desired output to make things clearer:
segment1
 field1
segment2
 field2
 node2
 field2
segment3
 field3
 node3
 field3
 node3
 field3
field1 sample value. ex. 0000000001
all field2 have the same value. Value from both segment2 and node2 of field2 is the same. ex. 0000000002
all field3 have the same value. Value from both segment3 and the 2 node3s of field3 is the same. ex. 0000000003
In my current mapping, I'm getting this erroneous output:
segment1
 field1
 node2
 field2
segment2
 field2
 node3
 field3
segment3
 field3
 node3
 field3
The nodes are not in their correct segments. node2 is one level higher because there was no node1.
Occurrence of segments are 1..unbounded. nodes are 0..unbounded.
Thanks all.

Hello,
You need to use UDF for this:
UDF type is Context
Arguments:
input1
input2
HashMap map = new HashMap();
for(int a=0;a<input2.length;a++){
 if(!map.containsKey(input2[a])){
 map.put(input2[a],"");
for(int a=0;a<input1.length;a++){
 if(map.containsKey(input1[a])){
 result.addValue("true");
 else{
 result.addValue("false");
mapping is something like this:
input1 -> removeContext -> UDF -> target
input2 -> removeContext -> /
Hope this helps,
Mark

Context handling problem in output message

Hi Experts,
I have an issue where the context is not properly handled:
<Material_Master>

<Language_Code>ES</Language_Code>
<Description>EF VEW CHANGED TEXT: GAS</Description> >mapwithdefault>Splitbyvalue(Each Value)>UDF>E1MTXLM Segment
 |->mapwithdefault>Splitbyvalue(Each Value)>UDF>Split by value---> TDLINE Element
</LongText>
<Language_Code>ES</Language_Code>
>No "Description" Field comes,but i get the next descriptionfield value(EF VE) into this context in the output idoc
</LongText>
</Material>
<Material>
<LongText>
<Language_Code>ES</Language_Code>

</LongText>
<Language_Code>ES</Language_Code>
<Description>EF VEW CHANGED TEXT: GAS</Description>
</LongText>
</Material>
</Material_Master>
The UDF used here takes the length of the input string and divides into multiple of 5 and the remainder into the last E1MTXLM Segment.
Similar logic is implemented in "TDLINE" element
Output IDoc Format:
<E1MTXHM> Segment
 <E1MTXLM> Segment
 <TDLINE> Element
 </TDLINE>
 </E1MTXLM>
</E1MTXHM>

Idoc Segment - Context Handling.

Hi All,
Can anyone suggest me a solution as how to handle the below idoc context problem.. its a file to idoc scenario
I have an Debmas idoc, in which It is possible for a customer to have more than one E1KNBKM segment, so we only want to map the first segment for that customer and then also we only want the information from the /GLB/XGT_EXTRA_17 segments that are child segments of E1KNBKM.
-Anu

What Ravi suggested was:
SourceNode --> Index -->
--> equalS --> ifWithoutElse (Then SourceNode) --> TargetNode
Constant(1) -->
Index is similar to Count function (just that it is more reliabel when counting multiple node occurences)...the above will check if the occurence of SourceNode isthe first or not.

Abhishek.

Mapping problem in context handling

Hi experts,
 I am doing a file to file scenario in which i have to change the queue context is it possible? for simple context change we use ResultList.CC in advance UDF but what to do if we want to add a queue cahnge .To dig more deep into the problem i am explaining my scenario.
my output structure is <GROUP> .....(1 to unbounded)
 <Records>....(1 to unbounded)
 field1
 field2
 field13
 In one group there can be many records and there will be multiple Groups.Suppose in my udf i want to add a queue change to add some field in other group then how will i achive it ? please guide me with ur inputs

Hi,
context object is a generic term used to make a reference to message heder fileds in the XML file (also vth XPATH). Context of an element is nothing but just the level (with reference to its parent node) where the XML tag appears in the given XML document.

Doubt on Mapping, Context handling/Node functions

Hi Experts...
This is the structure of a sample message that we get from Agile. BOM1 and BOM2 are two BOMs (basically a material) having BOM Items A,B,Cu2026. (basically Material components)
PARTS and DOCUMENTS have the material related information.
Apart from that we have certain segments inside each BOM, called REDLINES, REDLINE BOM CURRENT, REDLINE BOM PREVIOUS (not depicted below) which contains information whether the material item has been added, changed, deleted or unchanged and some more information.
ROOT
     R1
          R2
               BOM1
               B-Item A
               B-Item B
                R2
                        BOM2
               B-Item C
               B-Item D
                  B-Item F
       PARTS
             BOM1
       PARTS
             B-Item B
       PARTS
             B-Item D
       DOCUMENT
             B-Item A
       DOCUMENT
             BOM2
       DOCUMENT
             B-Item C
       DOCUMENT
                B-Item F
The target structure has 4 different tables. One of them is a table structure called MATERIALS where we should have 7 records in this case.
For BOM1 and BOM2 we need to pass details from inside the same node + additional info from Parts/Docs
Same applies for B-Items.
Qn:1
How do I link Parts/Doc/R2 nodes  MATERIAL so that I can get 7 records?
When I link ROOT I get one record
When I link R2; I get 2 records (I tried changing the context to ROOT; dint work!)
When I link Parts I get 3 records
When I link Docs I get 4 records
Is there a way to link PARTS nodes + DOCS nodes to MATERIAL?
Qn2:
Do you think that for this case we need to split the entire document to 1: n as shown below? Is there a way without splitting? Coz I have a BPM calling a sync abap proxy to post, process and return data (ya we using BPM + a Sync call!!!!)
ROOT
BOM1
     B-Item A
     B-Item B
PARTS
     BOM1
PARTS
     B-Item B
DOCUMENT
     B-Item A
BOM2
     B-Item C
     B-Item D
     B-Item F
PARTS
     B-Item D
DOCUMENT
     BOM2
DOCUMENT
     B-Item C
DOCUMENT
        B-Item F
Qn3.
I read from somewhere that when we use sync call; the BPM as to get a response back within 30 s, else it will fail.. is that true?
Please help!!!!
Thank you.

Thanks Kishore.
The sample file is very very big and data is distributed and difficult to understand. The one I have provided is therefore a simplified model of the file. Let me narrow down to one step further:
How can we perform: if A_NUM = B_NUM; pass NAME
to the target field from the below structure:
ROOT
            NODE1
                        NODE2
                                    A_NUM
            NODE3
                        B_NUM
                        NAME
            NODE4
                        B_NUM
                        NAME

</Control_Header>
- <Invoice_Header>
 <Key>000</Key>

 <GSTRate>0.07</GSTRate>
</Invoice_Line>
- <Invoice_Header>
 <Key>000</Key>
 <BusinessUnit>HDB21</BusinessUnit>
 <InvoiceNo>6Y0575</InvoiceNo>
</Invoice_Header>
- <Invoice_Line>

Mapping as follow:
 IDOC
<Control_Header> -> <Control_Header>
<Invoice_Header> --> <Header_Invoice>
<Invoice_Line> ---> removeContext --> <Line_Invoice> this is the child node of <Header_Invoice>
<Trailer> -

The result of the using the above Payload get the following result which not wht I seek
<Control_Header>
<Header_Invoice>
 <Line_Invoice>
 <Line_Invoice>
 <Line_Invoice> *** This belong to the Invoice_Line of the second <Header_Invoice> at the payload
<Header_Invoice>
 <Line_Invoice> *** THis segment is empty
<Trailer>
I required the Line_Invoice to belong to the child of the second <Header_Invoice>, I have tried using
removecontext with splitVaue and collaspeContext but to no avail.
May I know what is my mistake on the mapping of the Invoice_Line to Line_Invoice>
Rgds
FNG

Hello,
There should be something that could correlate the Invoice_Header/Key and Invoice_Line/Key. In your example, both are the same for the first and data set. If the sample looks like the one below, it is possible to sort things by correlating the Invoice_Header key and Invoice_Line key
<Invoice_Header>
<Key>000<Key>
</Invoice_Header>
<Invoice_Line>
<Key>000<Key>
</Invoice_Line>
<Invoice_Line>
<Key>000<Key>
</Invoice_Line>
<Invoice_Header>
<Key>001<Key>
</Invoice_Header>
<Invoice_Line>
<Key>001<Key>
</Invoice_Line>
An example mapping could look like this
For Header
Invoice_Header --> Header_Invoice
For Line
/InvoiceLine/Key --> removeContext --> splitByValue:valueChanged --> Invoice_Line
The subfields of the invoice line would also follow a similar logic, you just need to use formatByExample --> splitByValue:eachValue so that the context levels are the same.
Hope this helps,
Mark

Query on Context Handling ( File to IDOC mapping )

Hi All,
I've a scenario from file to IDOC. The structure of file is as follows.
Struct ( occurs unbounded times )
|
- Name
Str. of IDOC
Node
|
- name1
- name2
- name3
- name4
The problem is that the name in file can occur many times.
So if say name occurs 2 times in the file then it has to be mapped to name1 and name2 in IDOC.
If Name in file occurs 3 times it'll be mapped to name1, name2 and name3 in IDOC.
Am looking for some help.
Thanks,
Joe.

Hi Joe,
For every name in the file, you will have to map the value to the name field in the IDoc. Use SplitByValue node function available in the graphical editor. You will be able to achieve this mapping. For more about the usage, here's the documenation and a blog(where an example has been given):-

How do you confirm the validity of a Env or SvcCtx Handle

I have a fairly large legecy system using mostly ProC. However, we have found some use for OCI in some specific instances. So we have used the SQLEnvGet and SqlSvcCtxGet to get an Environment and Service Context handle of an existing ProC Session to allow us to use OCI without opening a second Db connection.
However, for some strange, but legitimate reason there will be a ProC Connect Release, and shortly after a new Connect which invalidates my handles.
The problem is, in the area where I use these handles, I know of no way of determining if this disconnect/connect event has occured and using these invalid handles causes some largely undesired results includeing core dumps.
Is there tools available that would allow me to check the validity of these handles before I attempt to use them?

You can tell if you have defined it by looking at your Channels palette. I would wager that it is not there based on your description.

As you have the suite, you might look at using Illustrator for logos. Photoshop is rarely used for logos.
