Conversion exits before value mapping in AIF

Hi All
I'm trying to use conversion exits before mapping in define value mapping, where I want to truncate leading zeroes in the source field before the value mapping is executed.
I'm using the conversion exit 'ALPHA' (internal->external) to achieve this, but the leading zeroes do not get truncated. Below is an example-
Conversion Exit: ALPHA
Data Element for conversion:
Direction: Internal->External
Source Value: 0000012345
Expected Value after conversion: 12345
Actual Value after conversion: 0000012345
A similar issue Error in reading a value from database table is noted here, however note 1892571 that is suggested does not seem to resolve the issue I'm facing.
Am I missing something here?
Regards
Chandra

Hi Glenn Bumanlag,
I think the values that you have given for source values (Agency and scheme)
and Target values (Agency and scheme) may be mismatching so kindly chek that...even i got the same error in the past..........
If you the this problem kindly change it accordingly and also refresh the cache once you that with this.........
Kindly follow the below mentioned link and check if you have followed these steps.

Import conversion data table from SAP R/3 into value mapping table in XI

Hi:
    Somebody knows how to import a table with conversion data that are in SAP R/3 and to take it to a value mapping table in XI?
    The purpose is to use a mapping table that can change in the future. Must I use a ABAP programming that retrieve data and build the value mapping table?
    If so, how I specify in the ABAP programming the group id, the scheme, the agency and the corresponding value?
    Please, help me.
    Regards!!!

Hi David,
please refer to this section in the help: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2a/9d2891cc976549a9ad9f81e9b8db25/content.htm
There is an interface for mass replication of mapping data. The steps you need to carry out to use this are:
+Activities
To implement a value-mapping replication scenario, proceed as follows:
       1.      Register the Java (inbound) proxies.
To do so, call the following URLs in the following order in your Internet browser:
¡        http://:/ProxyServer/register?ns=http://sap.com/xi/XI/System&interface=ValueMappingReplication&bean=localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.xi.services/ValueMappingApplication&method=valueMappingReplication (for the asynchronous replication scenario)
¡ http://:/ProxyServer/register?ns=http://sap.com/xi/XI/System&interface=ValueMappingReplicationSynchronous&bean=localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.xi.services/ValueMappingApplicationSynchronous&method=valueMappingReplicationSynchronous (for the synchronous replication scenario)
You only need to perform this step once (for each installation).
       2.      Application programming
The ABAP program must perform the following tasks:
¡        Read the value mapping data from the external table
¡        Call the outbound proxy used to transfer the data to a message, which is then sent to the Integration Server
       3.      Configuration of the replication scenario in the Integration Directory
This involves creating all the configuration objects you need to execute the scenario successfully. One special aspect of the value-mapping replication scenario is that the receiver is predefined (it must be on the Integration Server). The sender, however, is not predefined in the replication scenario and can be defined to meet your individual requirements.
For example, you can use the shipped ABAP proxies.
In the case of the receiver communication channel, choose the adapter type XI. Ensure that you configure a channel for the Java proxy receiver in this case.
Enter the path prefix /MessagingSystem/receive/JPR/XI for this purpose.

Hi Seetha Ram,
Value mapping: Where we maintain a table of values which are mapped.
based on the incoming value we can send the respective resultant value.

Mapping conversion of source value 4448601.75 to target value 448601

Mapping conversion of source value 4448601.75 to target value 4448601 or source value 999999.99 to target value 999999
Here standard functions like round, floor, ceil..etc, will not work because they will convert source value 4448601.75 to 4448602 and source value 999999.99 to 1000000.
Also i may have blank or white spaces coming in front of the source value from R/3 side like _____999999.99 and i want the value at the target side as _____999999. Here _____ representing blank or white spaces.
How i will do the mapping, can someone help me out.
Thanks,

No....! The floor function can be used. It returns the largest integer that is not greater than the passed value. However this will also trim the spaces.
So u can write a UDF that accept the number and substring till the decimal point and returns it.
Try this.. It works..
public String converv(String a,Container container)
return a.substring(0,a.indexOf('.'));

Mostly say when u have a scenario like converting a value in the source to a another in
target. Say in source it might me KM but in target u might need Kilometers and u hav multiple entries like this.

Calling AIF for Value Mapping from standard ES

Hello All,
Is there any option of using SAP AIF for standard ES (for adding value mapping). We have requirement where value mapping needs to be done for standard ES. I was thinking of making explicit call to AIF using following method :
* Call method to AIF
     /aif/cl_enabler_proxy=>process_message(
     exporting is_input = input
      iv_exception_classname = ' ' ).
However this method doesn't have any exporting parameter to get the changed data back.
Is there any workaround ?
Thanks & Regards,
Dijesh Tanna

Hello Gita,
Both these notes talks about monitoring the existing interfaces / ES using SAP AIF. However, doesn't talk about enhancing existing ES.
Secondly , I had look at function module /AIF/FILE_PROCESS_DATA. However, question is from where we should call this. I was aiming the EXECUTE_ASYNCHRONOUS method of ES and calling this FM from implicit enhancement spot. However, the structure INPUT inside EXECUTE_ASYNCHRONOUS is not changeable. So even if AIF performs value mapping , I can't pass that modified data to standard implementation of SAP ES.
Have a look at below code :
You can see that I passed INPUT to my custom function module which calls AIF internally and performs value mapping , checks etc.. and return the modified data in OUTPUT but SAP's standard code is still using INPUT in subsequent code. I can't assign OUTPUT to INPUT as it is import parameter not changeable.
Thanks & Regards,

AIF Value mapping for outbound scenario

Hello All,
Is there any possibility of using same value mapping which is defined for Inbound scenario can be reused for outbound scenario as well ?
Since, AIF value mapping can be defined based on Sending system but there is no option of creating value mapping pair between sending system and receiving system (similar to SAP PI value mapping) , is it only defined to use for Inbound scenarios ?
Thanks & Regards,
Dijesh Tanna

Michael
-->>>>you cannot have the same target value for two source values ?
What does this mean? Can't we have If name = A1, then value in the target should be Sales consultant
and if name = A2 then value in the target should be sales consultant?
My question was :
If name = A1, then value in the target should be sales consultant
If surname = A1, then value in the target should be purchase consultant
In the same graphical message mapping, can this be achieved using value mapping?
Thanks

Conversion exit error while activating the transfer rules

Hello gurus,
We are doing a function module extraction with 3.X data sources.
On activating the transfer rules , i am getting a conversion exit error for "0fiscyear", but in the infoobject we don't have the conversion exit for it.
Points will be awarded for any kind of response.
Thanks and Regards,
Anu.

Hi,
1. Please check in the transformation, its necessary to provide the fiscal variant mapping as well when ur mapping fiscal year object. as on the basis of that value fiscal period will be derived.
2 I guess ur doing direct mapping (Time conversion) and there is no routine written for that. if any u can check that as well for any error.
Thanks

Upload value mapping - migration from Requisite

Hi all,
We have some rules set up in Requisite that maps for example a category code provided by the supplier ot a material group code. Currenlty, I have been manually maintaining the value mapping in Import Manager. I am wondering whether there is a way to load the mappings (mainly the VALUE mapping) which we already have available in Requsition (exported may in excel or csv format)?
Appreciate any help on that.
Cheers!
SF

Hi SF
I dont think this is possible. for the first time you need to do the value mapping manually and save the map for the next uses.
A workyround can be to use conversion tables in XI/PI and convert the values before posting to MDM. this becomes more scalable as for any delta value conversions we need to add the netries in the conversion table instead of updating the import map.
best regards

Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs. Load Very slow

Hi Experts,
We have a slow load issue when loading from a Write-Optimized DSO into an InfoCube. 8 millon recs in 10 hours.
We check the start, end, and rules routines and every is ok but for all the package the load was very slow in the Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs.
Can any help me with this?
Thanks a lot,
Alejandro

Hi,
It is because the SIDs Generation upon Activation flag is unchecked at DSO level .
One recommendation will be to switch on the property of the DSO SIDs Generation upon Activation flag .
Are there any secondary indexes also in DSO ?
You can try deleting them also during loading the data from DSO to cube .
Also load your master data first and activate it before loading it to cube.
Thanks,

How to find out the conversion exit format for VBRP-VRKME

Hi Gurus,
           I am writing a report to fetch delivery details based on storage location'123'. My requirement is tat i shud convert the Billed Quantity unit TO Base unit of measure. In my VBRP table the field value/contents of VBRP-VRKME have values PAK for PAC( packets) and KAR for CAR(carton). When i click on User-specific Settings - - Check the filed CHEECK CONVERSION EXITS , i am able to get see the PAC and CAR respectively.
      But unfortunately when i selecting te fields form vbrp in my internal table i am getting the values 'PAK' for PAC and 'KAR' for CAR'. AS i am writing a report can any one suggest me how to convert this , as i wud b making use of FM MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT to convert to base unit of measure, n this FM is not accepting the values like PAK and CAK.
      Your Sugesstions are of utmost importance for me.
Thanking you,
ZIa

Hi,
Conversion routines are maintained at Domain Level(Definition Tab), Meins is the domain for VRKME data element.
You have to use the following routines,
CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_INPUT
CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_OUTPUT

N: 1 relationships in Value Mapping 3.0

Hi,
in our Value Mapping we need to process n:1 relationships between values. E.g. 2 different codes for reason-for-rejection in the sending system need to be mapped to 1 value in the receiving system.
As we see now, and this is also mentioned somewhere in this forum, this doesn't work. Is this correct?
As suggested in this forum one option would be to add the sending value in the receiving value and use mapping to trim the value. So e.g.
Agency: SystemX                    Agency: SystemY
Scheme: Augru                      Scheme: Augru
Value                              Value
A1                                 B
A2                                 B
would become
A1                                 A1_B
A2                                 A2_B
Of course, this would work, but just one-way (from SystemX to SystemY). From SystemY to SystemX this would not work, since only value B is available at that time. If you apply the same logic, so implement another value, this would eventually mean:
Agency: SystemX                    Agency: SystemY
Scheme: Augru                      Scheme: Augru
Value                              Value
A1                                 A1_B
A2                                 A2_B
C_A1                               C_B
D_A2                               D_B
So you end up with a lot of values to maintain.
Another option would be to use different Value Mapping scheme's, but this would influence the reusability of the mapping.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!

When you have an n:1 mapping and want to use this in both directions, you need a logic, how the values are determined, if you have several entries to choose.
In your example:
A1 -> B
A2 -> B
If you come from the other side, what value should B have?
For the default value you could use a unique prefix (eg: 1_) and add that prefix to the value before calling the value mapping.
Let us assume, you have maintained the table like this:
A1 -> 1_B
A2 -> 2_B
A3 -> 1_C
A4 -> 1_D
A5 -> 2_D
A6 -> 3_D
so you have B ->A1, C -> A3, D -> A4

Value Mapping Problem - Values not appearing in destination system

hello everyone,
Here's my scenario: XML > XI > IDOC
I have a problem with the ValueMapping and FixedValue function in XI. When I test the message in the Integration Repository, I don't get any problems (the value is converted appropriately), but when I view the IDOC in SAP, the value that is supposed to be in the field is missing.
When I check the payload in SXMB_MONI in XI, no conversion occurs. I have refreshed the caches, and everything seems to be fine. I don't know why the value mapping functions seem to have stopped working altogether. Will anyone be able to help me out with my problem?
Thanks in advance!
