Help on RFC Look up

Hi Folks,
We are using PI 7.1 in our project and we have a requiremnt for RFC lookup on a table which is on PI ABAP stack.
I know that with 7.1, SAP has provided the option of RFC lookup and JDBC lookup as a pre-defined function in message mapping. But my req is to call RFC lookup for a set of records (array of records) and get the output for all records and then work on it rather than calling the lookup for each record seperately as it will be performance intensive. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks,
Enivass

Yes, you can use the RFCAccessor using UDF or Java Mapping. Below is a blog regarding its use:

Need help on RFC look up in PI 7.0

Dear experts ,
I am working on Jdbc to Abap Proxy scenario where i need to perform a RFC Look up . I have searched in SCN and found some help ful blogs, but still need more information in below points.
My requirement is need to fetch Cost Center (KOSTL) by taking Personal number(PERNR) as Input parameter.
1) Do we have to create and import the RFC into PI ?
2) Do we need to create a UDF ? If yes, Kindly provide some useful links.
Thanks in Advance,
Mohammed

Hi indrajit,
i had written : java.util.Map map;" in the import secion of UDF. but still i am getting the following errors

Help on RFC to JDBC and JDBC to RFC

Help on RFC to JDBC and JDBC to RFC
Hi Gurus
I have the scenario where an RFC will be triggered in SAP , to write to a DB2 database and insert new records in a table
and vice versa the JDBC has to read som data from a table based on a primary key, mark them as read for not be read next time and send the data to an RFC where a table in SAP will be updated.
I have never worked with JDBC before , pls advice.
is there any new issue to consider in PI 7.0 regarding JDBC
Thanks.

The requirement looks standard,
SEARCH IN SDN FOR JDBC scenarios,you will find many docs for sender as well as Receiver.

Urgent : Error in RFC Look Up using JCO.

Hi,
I have a scenario od accessing a database table by passing the name through XI and also giving the Where condition ,passing the fieldnames and getting back the field values . The FM that id used for this on ABAP side is RFC_READ_TABLE.
For this Scenario I inserted a Java Code using JCO's in th UDF for the RFC Look Up's.
I got errors while activating the MM which i am not able to rectify.Please Help me in this.

Hi Priyanka,
The error message says there are 2 errors:
1. createClient
2. result.addValue
For the first one, I guess you might not have included all the API required for lookup
For second one, please check what is the type of object you are adding to the resultset, maybe you can just say result.addValue(resultSet[pos] + ""); to typecast it.

Cannot perform RFC Look UP

Hi All,
When I executed the RFC Look up function in the mapping could see the following error.
"Run time exception when processing target field mapping. Cannot perform RFC Look Up".
I performed the below steps but still could find the same error again:
1.In the test tab of the message mapping I have assined a channel which I configured in the Interface determination of the configuration and also assigned a value to that channel.
2. Has given the values for the parameters in the operation mapping and also the binding is done successfully.
3. The function module I assined is also existing and could test the same for output values for the given input values.
Please help me resolve the error.
Thanks & Regards,
Kumar.

Hi,
This is the error I could see in the communication channel monitoring of RWB.

Reg. RFC look up

Hi All,
I am working on RFC look up. My Scenario is IDoc to IDoc. The IDoc has a segment say E1 where the occurence is 0---5 and two fields inside that i.e. QUALF and IDTNR. The requiremnt is like when QUALF is equal to 002 then fetch the value of material number from SAP and map to IDTNR. Also this material number is picked only when QUALF is equal to 003 and the field IDTNR has some value i.e. article number in SAP. So I need to get value of the material number equal to this article number.
I am using RFC look up for this mapping condition in order to fetch value from SAP.
Can anyone help me on this to configure the RFC look up in PI?
Thanks and Regards,
Neethu

RFC Look Up with MultiMapping in PI 7.1

Hi All,
I have created a multimapping with one source & two target messages. I am using a RFC look Up for one of fields inside mapping.
But, when I used this multimapping in interface determination in PI 7.1, at runtime i got an error.
Error - is variable (Say XYZ) used while creating parameter for RFC look Up in message mapping doesn't exist.
If I execute multimapping without RFC look Up, it worked absolutely fine.
I have used RFC look Up in number of normal message mappings, it worked fine.
Not sure, if this is a issue with PI 7.1, that multi-mapping with RFC look Up isn't supported at enhanced interface determination.
Please provide inputs for this or if anybody has hands on experience using this with PI 7.1
Thanks,
Venkat

Hi,
Please go through the thread:
Re: Global Variables declaration in PI 7.1
and check whether its useful.

To upload a data into SAP Table with the help of RFC function in BODS

Hi,
Please provide me step-by-step solution to upload data into any SAP table with the help of RFC function in Data Services.
I have created RFC function that upload data into SAP table. RFC Function contains one table that has same structure as my database table.
In the data services how can i filled the table of RFC function, i am using this function in query transform of data services but it gives me error.
I am also follow link http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/BusinessObjectsDataServicesTipsand+Tricks
but it did not help me.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,
Did you import the function module in the SAP datastore first? When you open the SAP datastore, the function should be listed in the 'functions' section. If not, import it. Make sure your function is remote executable.
Once the function is there, you can use it in a transformation. In 'Schema Out' right-click on 'Query' (top level) and choose 'New Function Call'. You can then select a datastore and a function in the datastore. The wizard will show you which output parameters are available. I believe you have to add at least one and can select as many as you like.
After confirming your selection the function and the output parameters appear in Schema Out. You can then right-click on the function and choose 'Modify function call'. A popup will appear where you can specify the input parameters.
I hope this helps.

IDOC to IDOC....... RFC look up

Hi Friends,
Iam new to SAP XI and have some questions.Answers to this query will be my pleasure.
my scenario:
sender :idoc1 (delivery)
receiver: idoc2 if customer present
 else idoc3 to create "customer" and then idoc2 to create "sales order"
Message mappings:
1 for idoc1 to idoc2
1 for idoc1 to idoc3
and 2 interface mappings for the above message mappings.
Please explain me how can i use one mapping if condition is false and then mapping2
and how to use second mapping if condition is true.
Also given below is mapping for a field .Please check and explain:
source field:E1ADRM1-PARTNER_ID
Mapping/Transformation rule:E1ADRM1-PARTNER_Q = 'WE' Select KUNNR from KNB1where ALTKN = E1ADRM1-PARTNER_ID and BUKRS = 'GR11' Value = KNB1-KUNNR and check that KNA1-STCD2 = 999839383 with KNA1-KUNNR=KNB1-KUNNR if no entry found in KNB1customer must be created
Target field: PARTN_NUMB
Please explain.I got an answer previously that i have to use RFC look up, if so please explain where and how to write the RFC look up.
Thanks in advance,
Harish.

Hi Kinthali,
I think I am not getting your question correctly...
You need to map from Idoc1 to idoc2 or if idoc 2 is not the idoc1 to idoc3... right??
>>Please explain me how can i use one mapping if condition is false and then mapping2 and how to use second mapping if condition is true.
Which condition are you talking about here?? Check the condition in the interface determination and then choose the needed interface...

Suraj

RFC Look up Caching Results

Hello Experts,
I am facing an issue in PI7.1 while using RFC Look up functionality. I use this in a high usage interface and now I see that it actually caches the results somewhere and does not actually make the RFC call to the backend system.
I refered some threads, but could not get answers. Has anyone else faced this issue ? If yes, could you let me know what the solution is to get around this issue?
Thanks,
Karthik

Thanks Arpil, We are calling the RFC look up once per mapping. We get results into a global variable and process it thereafter. But this interface that has this mapping itself gets called very frequently, around 30 calls per second.
We are using the RFC look up wizard in PI7.1 and hence not building any new java code etc..but the results are cached. If the data changes in the back end system, the RFC still fetches us old data and only a forced cache refresh is causing it to pick up the new results..

Using RFC Look Up in Java Mapping

Hi All,
I need to do an RFC Look Up in a Java Mapping program. The response structure of the Function Module to be called consists of only one node called RESULT. In order to read the value exported by the function module in this export parameter RESULT, I am using the following code:
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = null;
factory.setNamespaceAware(false);
factory.setValidating(false);
Document docResponse = null;
InputStream in1 = result.getContent();
docResponse = builder.parse(in1);
String output = docResponse.getDocumentElement().getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
The function module works correctly and returns the expected result when tested in SE37. However, on running the above code, the statement docResponse.getDocumentElement().getFirstChild().getNodeValue(); always returns the value NULL and not the expected value that is actually returned by the RFC.
Kindly let me know where could I be going wrong.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sreehari,
Your DOM code looks correct, it might be something with the overall code of java mapping. Just have a look at this blog /people/morten.wittrock/blog/2006/03/30/wrapping-your-mapping-lookup-api-code-in-easy-to-use-java-classes
and compare you code with it. See whether you can fine tune your coding to get the rigth response.

Would Photoshop help improve the look of my video? [was: New to this]

Not sure if I already posted this but would photoshop help imporve the look of my video?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n94-fqYPHWc

I agree with Mylenium. Premiere Elements would be a better program for the post-production.
As for shooting, I would use a background, as those wall plates/outlets really draw the eye. A nice piece of dark grey, non-glossy fabric, like perhaps a velvet, could be taped over the wall, behind your subject. If possible, move the subject a bit farther from any background.
Do not be afraid of composing the subject more tightly, so that one sees more of them, and less background. Even with a "talking head" shot, you can get much tighter with the framing.
I would also go for a bit more controlled lighting on your subject. Even placing a white card, or sheet to one side, just to fill in the face, would be better. Just keep it out of the coverage of the camera. A piece of foamcore, or Gator-foam, would work well. Angle it to fill that side of the subject's face.
The audio was recorded in a fairly "hard," or "live" environment. If the mic is camera-mounted, think about hanging some soft fabric, in a V, behind the camera and operator. The camera would be in the apex of the V. A few quilts would work fine. That should help remove the slight echo of the room, and "soften" the sound a bit.
Good luck, and hope those ideas help.

RFC Look Up APIs for a IDOC Receiver Communication Channel

Hi,
Can we use RFC Look Up APIs in UDF for a IDOC Receiver Communication Channel. (File to IDOC Scenario). Requirement is to send a notificaiton when IDOC got posted with IDOC number.
Best Regards,
Madan Agrawal

As the name suggests, RFC lookup uses RFC receiver channel only. In mapping of your File to Idoc scenario, you may perform this lookup.
Requirement is to send a notificaiton when IDOC got posted with IDOC number.
Configure ALEAudit for this requirement. How were you planning to use RFC lookup for such a requirement?

RFC Look ups

Hi all,
I need to get a value for a field from the target system according to the soucre field.
For Ex : material number 0001 is from source system and i need to find the corresponding material number from the target SAP system.
Please let me know how it can acheived.
Thanks
Faheem

1. Create a RFC in R/3 system that has ur desired functioanlity.
2. Create RFC look up in the UDF.
3. Map the UDF as follows
Source- field-> UDF(RFC Look up)---> Target Field
