Design approach help : BIC Mapping Tool Conversion

Hi All,
Design approach:
we know that BIC mapping tool can be used for EDI to XML conversion. also i know that its a Any to any converter.
But we prefer EDI to EDI XML conversion only via this tool and do the mapping in SAP PI as it would be easy to do mapping change if any in PI than redeploy the mapping in module location every time.
My question is:
we know that sender file adapter supports FCC for max of 3 hierarchy levels.
Can we make it a practice of accepting requirements in SAP PI which has complex Flat file structure (more than 3 levels). and use BIC mapping tool to convert the Complex flat file Structure (with more than 3 levels) into PI required format and proceed with the mapping and Configuration. (Note: hear the assumption is that the organisation has BIC Mapping tool procured for some EDI message scenario's ).
or is it best practice to ask the Source system to supply flat files strictly in Header,with 1 line item format?
Suggestions would be deeply appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Senthilprakash

Dear Suresh,
I am very well aware of that. we have Seeburger SFTP adapter installed in our PI system. and for EDI conversion we use BIC for converting to XML and deploy the module in the adapter level.
Now my question is that: weather is it the rite way to start accepting requirement from source which has complex flat file structure (non edi messages) and using BIC module in adapter to convert it into XML and proceed with configuration or better to ask the source system to send the flat file in a format which is accepted by our file adater FCC.
what are the drawbacks/bottlenecks we see in using BIC module for converting non EDI complex flat files into XML format? in PI

Senthilprakash.

I've already referred to this post /people/dijesh.tanna/blog/2008/05/25/sap-pixi-content-conversion-using-generator-mapping-functionality-of-seeburger-part-1 but still can't get it right.
Thanks.

Thanks a lot experts :D....
I'll be using a file adapter for my scenario..
Any Idea on what Seeburger BIC mapping module should I use?
am I just use the ff module?

Can SeeBurger BIC Mapping tool automatically remove Delimiters?

Hi all,
When we map IDOC's to EDI X12 messages using the SeeBurger BIC Mapping tool, we sometimes have delimiters occur in fields such as name or address. We are using the setDestinationDelimiter and have changed our delimiters so this occurance is rare. However the problem may still occur. This causes an invalid message to be passed to our partner.
One option is to use XI mapping and the replace function on each field however this is cumbersome and not the ideal solution.
Is there a way to automatically remove Delimiter characters from fields as part of the BIC Mapping.
Cheers,
John

Hi Satish,
Thanks for re-iterating the problem. You are absolutely right that this does cause an invalid message.
Also thanks for your suggestion regarding asking business not to enter the data, this has been done and as stated the occurences of these delimiters in the fields will be low, usually due to user error.
We still however want to cater for these occurrences and prevent an invalid message being sent to the partner.
I'm not sure if you've ever used the BIC Mapping tool and what I'm really looking for is someone with experience in this area to give a solution that works. Anyone out there who can help?
Cheers,
John

Need to get trail Spacing using BIC Mapping tool

Hi Experts,
There is a stranage scenario were i need to get an output in a text file using trail spacing.
for example here is the input for the BIC Mapping
<DK03_SEG> *************** 77700000000463518500000030000000202820100226 ********* </DK03_SEG>
has at the starting and ending of the message there is a empty space.
but when i run BIC Mapping i am getting the out put in this fashion
*********77700000000463518500000030000000202820100226
only could get the spaces in the start of message at the end BIC is trimming the spaces at the end .
how this can be achieved.
@@ consider * as spaces
Thanks
Sampath

Hi Seven,
I have tried that option but unable to get the required output. Any other option were it can be achieved.
Thanks
Sampath

BIC Mapping tool Error

Hi,
Hope you have define your FlatFile strucute first and exported to local directory and then generated the XML messsage for the same...
after this generated the mapping for the conversion from FlatFile to CSV using CreateEDItoXML instead of XMLtoEDI...
for the mapping provide input as your generated CSV and XML ...
Cross check the process you followed for generating the same..
Hope this gives the needed info for generating mapping..
Regards
Rajesh

Marking it as solved. We are not using BIC tool anymore.

Need advice about design approach for query editing tool with JSF

Hi !
I would like to propose in my application a way to allow end-user to create queries that could be executed on a some tables. I suppose that this kind of stuff is not new and would like to know if someone has to good design practice or example to do this with the JSF technology ?
I think that two approaches is possible:
1/ the user specifies the complete query from the start and get the final result when query is executed in the background
2/ user specifies the query in a interactive way. It specifies one criteria and get the results of it, then on the results specifies another criteria and get new results, then specifies another criteria and so on.
Also for information I use Hibernate as database framework.
Some advice or start of approach will be very appreciated.
Thanks !
B.D.

No-one could advice on this ?

About BIC mapping designer

Hi Guys,
Can anybody pls give me overview on BIC mapping designer?
Is that mandatory in seeburger related scenarios? Do i need to have the access to accomplish my business requirements
Because Seeburger has already some default mapppings if i need to prepare any mapping that should be accessible to me right.?
pls clarify on this.
brief me about BIC modules that would be used in Adapter configuration ? How can we do those modules?
Pls clarify
Regards

Hi,
Can anybody pls give me overview on BIC mapping designer?
--> THE BIC Mapping Designer responsible for managing the transformation of messages is an easy-to-use graphic tool, which gives the possibility of providing software for complicated transformations as well as quick performance for those which are less demanding.
This is a graphic tool for the purpose of defining data formats and the information flow diagram. The relation between the source and the destination can be defined easily by means of the drag & drop technology. It may also be extended by a big set of manuals, a code in the JAVA language may be used as well. This enables the implementation of the business logic for any application.
used for transforming and compressing data.

BIC integration tool

Going to support EDI interface which uses Seeburger AS2 adapter either at sender or receiver side.I have few doubts on BIC module:
1.Do i need to install BIC tool on my laptop or it is a web based tool which i can access from seeburger workbench?
2.For all the edi conversion using Seeburger do we need BIC module to convert messages from EDI to XML or from XML to EDI?
3.why we need to do message mapping again if we had already done BIC mapping?
thanks in advance.

Got to the point answer from Shradha, Posting this thread again becouse earlier posted with differen used by mistake.
Hi,
1.Do i need to install BIC tool on my laptop or it is a web based tool which i can access from seeburger workbench?
Yes you need to install BIC mapping tool in your laptop to do the mappings.
AM Plain Text Help
2.For all the edi conversion using Seeburger do we need BIC module to convert messages from EDI to XML or from XML to EDI?
Yes for all EDI conversion using Seeburger you need BIC tool. But if you have some standard mapping already given by Seeburger than you dont need BIC tool, you can directly use those mappings. Remember standard mapping will start with name SEE*
3.why we need to do message mapping again if we had already done BIC mapping?
BIC mapping tool is used to convert EDI to XML and vice versa. Think about a scenario when you need to convert an IDOC to EDIFACT format.
Than first you have to do 1:1 mapping in PI where you will convert IDOC to EDIXML and than use BIC mapping tool to convert EDIXML to EDIFACT file.
I hope above answers will help you.

Shradha

Seeburger BIC Mapping Designer Material & Further Validations

Hi Guys,
I was hoping if someone can point me to more material on BIC Mapping designer as only thing i have the standard PDF which came with it. However I need to do more stuff e.g. enhance validations and put a few more checks in. Was wondering If one available?
regards

Hi Mimranacc,
Can you please give me an example of the kind of validation that you would like to do?
SEEBURGER do have separate integration tool called SEEBURGER BIS(Business Integration Server).Check with any of your friends who are working on that.They can help you out for more material.Some times the content tend to change based on the version of BICMD do check that also .I don't think its available on SDN as its SEEBURGER proprietary content.
Thanks,

Seeburger BIC Mapping Designer: Special Character (German Umlaut) Problem

Hi,
i have created a Mapping with Seeburger Mapping Designer (Invoicd96a to XML). I started the test environment, compiled the mapping and converted the Message to XML. I got a syntax error in the destination file so i added the setSourceEncoding("UTF-8") option and i got a working xml file.
My problem is that all special characters, will be displayed as ? So the word "Beträge" will be converted to "Betr?ge".
What i have to di, to fix this problem ?
Thanks in advance
Matthias

hi,
i have to create an Edifact to XML Mapping with the BIC Mapping Designer. After creation i can deploy this mapping to SAP XI and calling it by using it as module in the specified adapter.
My idea is that the mapping should working correct in test enviroment before i deploy to SAP PI.
Perhaps anyone has an idea.
regards
Matthias
P.S.: A few month ago i had a similar problem with the conversion agent and it was just a "secret" checkbox

How to import the IDOC into Seeburger BIC mapping designer

Hi All,
Can u please tell me how to import the IDOC into Seeburger BIC mapping desginer.
I have scenario My scenario is SAP GTS 7.0.....>Seeburger BIS.....>Atlas customs system for Germany
Idoc coming from SAP GTS to Seeburger BIS and then convert to EDIFACT send
to Atlas systeam.
Regards,
Ramesh.

Hi Ramesh
BIC is a tool from Seeburger to transmit the XML data to EDI and EDI to XML.
Seeburger mapping programs for transferring the XML data to EDI data and EDI data to XML data, but not for the structure changing, in the IR your mapping program is same.
Receiver side you need AS2 Adapter for converting data to EDI target structure. we have many EDI versions are available, for converting the EDI to XML or vice versa AS2 gives some default mapping programs, xml to EDI or EDI to XML convertion done through this mapping programs.
Seeburger AS adapter provider provides some mapping programs(for example EDI4010 version or other), if you are using the same EDI version(4010) then you can use that mapping programs, if the version is different then we can manually generate the Seeburger X2E and E2X mappings for the corresponding version and signal(850 or 810 or ..), for this seeburger provides the mapping designer tool (BIC), there we can develope the X2E and E2X mapping programs and configure this in the Seeburger work bench.

Ramesh

Mappings_user.sca - Seeburger BIC Mapping Designer

Hello experts,
I have read SAP note 1353318 about how to start the BIC adapter on PI 7.1.
Question: where do I get the file "mappings_user.sca" from? It says it is on the BIC Mapping Designer-CD, but the installation files I received via the Internet - I do not have the CD.
Can I somehow create that file with the BIC Mapping Designer that I have already installed?
Thank you for any hint you can give me!
Best regards,
Peter

Hey peter,
go to your seeburger installation directorys bin folder and check for bicdesigner.ini file and add the below cmd
CmdLnArgX=-ProjectAdmin where X will be 4 (i.e. count of cmd line agrs used ) .
Then start the bic mapping designer tool and go to tools option there you can see a new option called Assign Projects to SDA, after that you can create a deploy file..This is new option provided by seeburger bic so that only project Admin can have rights of creating the deploy file.
If you still face any problems post the same..

Seeburger BIC mapping designer : querry

Hi,
     We have installed the SeeBurger BIC adapter. I have a querry regarding the mapping that we specify as a parameter to the BIC module in the modules tab of the communication channel.
      Are there standard mappings provided with the installation for EDI -> XML and vice versa , and we simply need to provide the name of the mapping that needs to be used or do we need to develop the mappings from scratch using the BIC mapping designer.
      If the first case is true then how to get the names of all the mappings that are provided so that we can make out which one do we need to use. If it is not so please help me with the BIC mapping designer manual path on the installation as we are not able to figure out the path to the manual.
Thanks in advance,
Pravesh Puria.

Hi Babu,
<i>1."you can use these mappings in "Modules" of your seeburger communication channel."
>> can we use these developed mappings with BIC MD in any communication channel of Seeburger like OFTP,FTP ,AS2 ,BIC or we need to use those mapping with only BIC communication channel?</i>
>>> Yes Babu,You can use this in all communication channel modules .
one thing, "BIC" is not a seeburger adapter type.
You need to deploy BIC Mappings in your XI server.
You have to refer Seeburger manuals for this.
<i>2.lets say if we have developed mappping with BIC MD ,then do we need to develop mapping with XI mapper too or its not needed?but if we do mapping with Xi then data format will be of xml but it needs to be converted to/from EDI ,so how it can be possible just with XI maping and no BIC MD mapping?</i>
>>> No, You Cannot do it in only with XI Mapper.
First you need to use BIC Mapping in modules which will convert your EDIFACT format to EDI-XML.
After this you need to Apply XI Mapping Which will Convert EDI-XML to your IDOC-XML.i.e. your mapping program.
Thanks & Regards,
Akshay Jamgaonkar.

Please help - Dreamweaver Image Map Tool/Outlook for Mac

Hello:
I was wondering if you could help me navigate through an issue I am having with the image map tool. I have created a design file is PSD, saved it as a JPG, then transferred it into Dreamweaver to link the design to a web page. However, I would like to embed different links within one HTML file to e-mail out, so I used the image map tool to do so. However, when I copy/paste the completed HTML into an Outlook for Mac message (Command A; Command C; Command V), the image map/additional links do not transfer over once the file is pasted in an e-mail. I also tested this with G-mail and the Apple E-mail app, and was not successful. Please help.

You can't paste images into e-mails. Use absolute links to images hosted on your domain server like this:
