Filtering of records in Message Mapping

Question

I am facing problem during filtering record in message mapping. My message comes from R3 and should be sent to one business service in entirety and should also be sent to another business service in part. To resolve this I created a message map for selecting record based on some conditions but this creates empty XML nodes wherever condition is not satisfied. Everything works fine but the scenario fails at the end while trying to convert XML to text using file adapter. The error is ‘Conversion configuration error: Unknown structure '' found in document', probably configuration error in file adapter (XML parser error)’

Hi Rajesh,
This scenario you are trying can be done using CONDITIONAL RECEIVER DETERMINATION and RB SPLIT, where you can basically have one sender and two receivers.
To do this without using a BPM.
1. Create your mapping program that will map the information from the source file
into the destination idoc. This has to be a 1:N split. Just make sure that the destination message type and message interface are are of occurrence N.
2. Also, you will have 2 destination interfaces and 2 interface mapping, one for the IDOC and one for the mail.
Now, there are a few essential steps in your configuration,
1. In the receiver determination, specify the 2 receiver systems, one for your IDOC and the other for your MAIL.
2. Now, you will have a condition window. Just type the condition on the basis of which the receiver has to be determined for the mail and the idoc business system. Just remember that the condition can be specified only for the source message.
3. In the Interface Determination, you have an option called RB CLASSIC and RB SPLIT. To do a 1:N split, you will have to do a RB_SPLIT.
And since you wanted to covert the XML format to text format you require content conversion at the receiver adapter end, for that please go through these links below. It clearly explains your requirement.
