Information on CRM Value Mapping

hello.......
I need to give presentation on CRM Value Mapping.
I would be very thankfull, if any one tell me
what is CRM Value mapping?
Whats the use of it?
If you have any material on CRM Value mapping...
Best Regards

Value Mapping function
Executes a value mapping for the value I entered. In the function attributes, assign the both input value I and source value O to a representation in the value-mapping table. In this way, you can assign source and target structure fields to a representation. You complete the value-mapping table on the configuration maintenance screen in the Integration Builder. Since these entries are not available at design time, the mapping result is just an estimate when you test the message mapping.

Database storage of value mapping information

Hi,
Wouldn't it be easier to maintain the information storage in a real database instead of value mapping?
Is that technically feasable?
May a Java method access such a database from a mapping?
regards
Yann

Hi Yann,
Basically value mappings in XI can be maintained both at design and configuration time. There is also a third option, which allows the value mapping to be replicated into XI runtime cache from external sources. Refer to this blog for steps needed to replicate the value mapping from external source into the XI runtime cache.

Issue with Value Mapping table

Hi
I want to upload a external value mapping table to XI.
I do not want to code for it on the SAP R/3 side. and there might be more than 2000 value mappings. so can we upload a external mapping table.
Is it possible?? if yes, then how??.
Thanks
Nikhil

XI 3.0
Hi,
first of all one helpful information:
You can see all data of the value mapping tables using the
runtime workbench: Go to the IntegrationBuilder->
Integration Monitoring->Cache Monitoring, select 'Search
for Value-Mapping' and choose your context.
The value mapping tables are located in the J2EE part of
XI. You have to send your value mapping data to an Java proxy
located in the J2EE part. First, the inbound proxies
(synchronous and asynchronous) need to be activated.
There are two urls, named in the docu, you have to call
from a web browser:
(asynchronous replication scenario)
http://<Server>:<Port>/ProxyServer/register?ns=http://sap.com/xi/XI/System&interface=ValueMappingReplicationSynchronous&bean=localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.xi.services/ValueMappingApplicationSynchronous&method=valueMappingReplicationSynchronous
(synchronous replication scenario)
http://<Server>:<Port>/ProxyServer/register?ns=http://sap.com/xi/XI/System&interface=ValueMappingReplication&bean=localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.xi.services/ValueMappingApplication&method=valueMappingReplication
You only need to perform this step once (for each
installation).
If you already have a sender for the mapping data, the
next step is to configure the scenario in the directory
Create a communication channel with
Adapter type: XI
Transport protocol: HTTP 1.0
Message-Protocol: XI 3.0
Adapter-Engine: Integration Server
and host name and http port of the XI J2EE Engine and Path Prefix: /MessagingSystem/receive/JPR/XI
The user XIAPPLUSER has the required permissions.
For an asynchronous communication you can use the
inbound interface ValueMappingReplication from the namespace http://sap.com/xi/XI/System.
In that namespace there are also outbound interfaces you
can use to generate a sender proxy and synchronous
interfaces for the same purpose. Set the created communication channel as the receiver channel.
You may need a mapping and so on depending on your
sender. If you use the provided outbound interfaces there
is no mapping required.
The Data:
You can create your own GUIDs using some function like GUID_CREATE in ABAP. You don't need to declare the context you use. Something like http://mycompany.com/Test should be ok.
A sample in ABAP:
CRM and R3 are the names of the business systems.
data: lcl_value_mapping type ref to co_svmr_value_mapping_rep,
        ls_value_mappings type svmr_value_mapping_replication,
        ls_item type svmr_value_mapping_rep_item,
        lcl_system_fault type ref to cx_ai_system_fault.
ls_item-operation = 'Insert'.
ls_item-group_id = '315286378563858425463215845123548'.
ls_item-context = 'http://Test'.
ls_item-identifier-scheme = 'FormOfAddress'.
ls_item-identifier-agency = 'CRM'. <- Business System A
ls_item-identifier-value = '2'.
append ls_item to ls_value_mappings-value_mapping_replication-item.
ls_item-operation = 'Insert'.
Use the same guid for another value of the same group
ls_item-group_id = '315286378563858425463215845123548'.
ls_item-context = 'http://Test'.
ls_item-identifier-scheme = 'FormOfAddress'.
ls_item-identifier-agency = 'R3'. <- Business System B
ls_item-identifier-value = '1'.
append ls_item to ls_value_mappings-value_mapping_replication-item.
create object lcl_value_mapping.
try.
      call method lcl_value_mapping->execute_asynchronous
        exporting
          output = ls_value_mappings.
      commit work.
    catch cx_ai_system_fault into lcl_system_fault.
      write: 'Error: ', lcl_system_fault->errortext.
endtry.
See the XI documentation at SAP XI Design and Configuration Time -> Configuration -> Value Mapping -> Value mapping Replication for Mass Data.
Hope that helps.

Christian

Value Mapping and Lookups

Hi all,
I know something about Value Mapping.
And I heard that the Lookups (DB and RFC) are types of Value Mapping.
I am confused how value mapping is related to lookups.
Request you all to provide me some information regd.this.
Thank you.
Regards
Krishna.

Hi,
All the links above are quite useful in understanding Value Mapping and RFC lookups.
Both solutions could be used for getting values from R3 tables at runtime. However, there's difference in way both operate.
RFC lookup is performed at runtime, since it is executed from the UDF in message mapping. Thus at runtime, call is made to R3 table and value is fetched.
In value mapping replication, Value Mapping program is run from SAP R3 and values from table are updated in XI Runtime Cache. Thus at runtime, while performing message mapping, call to R3 system is not made. Values are available in XI cache.
Thus, it is quite obvious that Value Mapping is more performace efficient since it doesn't make a call to SAP R3 system for each incoming message. If the table data does not change very frequently(since for every change value mapping scenario has to be run for update of XI cache), and it is not very large, then it is a good option as compared to RFC lookup.
However, in cases where either data is frequently changing in table or the volume of data is too large, RFC lookup should be prefered choice.
Hope it would be helpful.
Thanks,
Bhavish

Value Mapping Replication...need help.....

Hi everyone,
I want to get the value mapping table filled by the value stored in my excelsheet.
Would it be possible to do that without java proxy?
~Thanks
Pranav

Thanks Michal for your valuable response.
I am not much comfortable with Java .... read some docs on java proxy and seems that its kind of time consuming to develop java proxy.
So for me, ABAP proxy is the only choice.. (which is also not my area)
I have gone through the eLearning link for Value mapping and I think, I have to create REPORT in ABAP which would invoke the ValueMappingReplication class.
Am I right ?
Do you have any doc link which could assist me writing code in ABAP to populate information into the valuemappingreplication objects...(fields) ?
I appreciate for your help and time.
Thanks,
Pranav

Fixed value mapping

Any one there to explain me what is fixed value mapping Coz when i used LOOK UPS , they told me you can used fixed value mapping instead of it , as i was having only to values , please send me a detail explanation abt it thanking you
sridhar

There is a lot of difference between fixed value mapping and Lookup:
Fixed value mapping is used when you need to populate the some differnt target value based on some inpur value.
Take example
I have used fixed value M:
My input is ABC
Now for this input I wanted to poupulate some different values.
Suppose when A comes in File it should map the target value to America.
When B come it should map to Belgium
and C -> California
Now come to Looup:
What is Lookup and why we need:
Within an XI mapping it is a common requirement to be able to perform data lookups on-the-fly. In particular, there may be a need to look up some data that is maintained in an R/3 application.
In the error handling topic we have seen the different validations which need to be performed on file. This can be done through Lookup.
Some use cases:
Look up material number from table MARA.
Look up cost center budget.
Look up employee information.
Look up unit-of-measure (UOM) information from table t006a.
Lookup for raising an alert.
The purpose of the lookup may be:
To perform application-level validation of the data, before sending it to the backend.
To populate fields of the XML document with some additional data found in the backend application.
This is a form of value transformation.
The "value mappings" offered by XI are not adequate in this case, since the data would have to be manually entered in the Integration Directory.
There are two ways in which we can do lookup:
Call lookup method from GUI mapping.
Call lookup method from XSLT mapping.
I think u got ur answer
Thnx

Hi,
Interface mappings register your mapping program for an interface pair in the Integration Repository. If you require a mapping at runtime, it is sufficient to select the interface mapping for the interface pair at configuration time .The Integration Server uses the interface mapping to identify associated mapping programs for request messages, response messages, fault messages, or all three.
Features
Executing Multiple Mapping Programs for One DirectionBy using an interface mapping you can execute multiple mapping programs consecutively for the transformation of a request or response message. In such cases, an interface mapping comprises multiple steps for which the following applies:
●     The steps are executed in the sequence specified (from top to bottom). The result of the mapping program from the previous step is forwarded to the mapping program of the subsequent step.
●     Each step can reference a mapping program that executes a 1:1, 1:n, n:1, or an m:n transformation. In the case of multi-mappings (1:n, n:1, or m:n), the previous step must create the same number of messages that the subsequent step expects.
●     Multi-mappings use one envelope to put all messages in one structure. If one of the steps references a multi-mapping program, all subsequent steps must use the same envelope.
The mapping for a request message comprises two message mapping programs: one 1:1 transformation and one 1:n transformation. Since the latter message mapping uses the multi-mapping envelope for both the target message and the source message, the message mapping for the 1:1 transformation must also create a transformation result with a multi-mapping envelope.
You do not strictly need to divide up one direction of the whole mapping into different steps. However, this enables all the message formats in one system landscape to be mapped to a central message format, for example. This results in less mapping programs being required because you no longer need to be able to map all the different message formats to each other
Activities
       1.      Create a message mapping on the design maintenance screen of the Integration Builder (see also: Creating an Object).
You can also create multiple interface mappings for the same interface pair.
       2.      Enter the source and target interfaces that require a mapping of the request message, the response message, the fault message, or all three, in the table of the same name. The following restrictions apply:
○     If you want to use the interface mapping in a transformation step in an integration process, you must only specify abstract message interfaces. Furthermore, all objects (integration process, interface mapping, and all objects that reference the interface mapping) must be in the same software component version. If you want to reference objects from underlying software component versions, you must access the objects from the Basis Objects branch (in the navigation tree or using an input help).
○     If you want to map multiple messages to each other by using a multi-mapping, you can only specify asynchronous interfaces (for further restrictions, see: Multi-Mappings). If any message interfaces are missing, you can also create them by using the function Create New Object ().
If the interface cannot be imported or cannot be created in the Integration Repository (in the case of an external adapter, for example), you must enter the interface names manually. However, it is not possible to check the technical name in this case.
       3.      To import the properties of the interfaces, choose Read Interfaces. The table in the lower area displays tab pages for the request message, response message, and if available, for the fault message, for each mode of the interfaces (either synchronous or asynchronous).
       4.      To develop an external mapping program, export the XSD schema of the respective request or response message as a zip file after you have imported the interfaces. The zip file can contain multiple schema files that reference each other, for example in a multi-mapping. In this case, the schema with the global message element has the name MainSchema.
       5.      To reference a mapping program for the respective message, you have the following options:
○     Select an existing mapping program from the Integration Repository by using the input help (). If this is a message mapping, the default setting of the input help only displays those message mappings that are found using the source and target message in the Integration Repository (in multi-mappings, the first source and target messages are used as the search criteria). However, you can also display any number of message mappings, for example, because you are constructing a mapping from several mapping programs with intermediate instances which have no message types.
○     You can create message mappings directly from the interface mapping. To do this, select the mapping type Message Mapping in the Type column. Position the cursor in the Name column and choose the function Create New Message Mapping () in the Mapping Program frame. The Integration Builder copies the specifications of the messages and their occurrence directly from the interface mapping.
An interface mapping can only reference mapping programs that belong to the same or an underlying software component version of the interface mapping. This ensures that the mapping program can be shipped together with the interface mapping (see: Software Logistics).
       6.      If it is not a mapping for a fault message, you can execute multiple mapping programs in succession for request and response messages:
○     To insert an additional line for a mapping program, choose .
○     To delete the registration for a mapping program, choose .
At runtime, the mapping programs are executed from top to bottom.
       7.      Save the interface mapping.

Need halp Value Mapping failure

Morning,
i have an urgent request and don´t know why it´s not working ???
I have a simple mapping.
E1EDKA1-PARTN -> Value Mapping -> E1EDKA1-PARTN
Value Mapping Value:
4901 to xxxx
It´s a very simple one and in the xi test environment it works but in REAL it´s not working.
Only the source Value of 4901 will be filled in the destination field PARTN.
In the Trace i cant find the following information:
Key mapping from System=CCS_xxxxxxx namespace=newInterfaceFunction objtype= key=4901 to System=CSC_yyyyyy namespace= objtype= key=null has not been performed
Any ideas ?
Thank You,
Gordon

Hi Gordon,
Yes, I'd try to activate your changes using the icon with the green arrow.
If it still does not work, there might be connection problems. Here's a copy of the XI documentation to help you for further investigations:
<i>You can request another cache update, if required. To do so, choose Repeat Cache Update for Instance ().
The Problems tab page displays information about problems during the cache update.
Cache notifications and cache updates can fail for many reasons. You can test the cache connectivity. in the Runtime Workbench. For more information, see SAP Note 780747.</i>

Regarding Exception handling for Value mapping

Hi
We have a requirement for resending the message (using SXMB_MONI)for Value mapping and other message mapping related errors . Is there any others way we could achieve this , Any help on this is appreciated ?
Thanks in advance,
Jishi

Hi Jishi,
I don't think that SXMB_MONI is the solution.
If you have a mapping error this can belong to two things:
a) either your mapping is wrong
b) or your message is wrong.
In case a) you have to correct your mapping
In b) The sending system must look what happend.
In my opinion in both cases (a & b) the process must be restartet from the source system. That's the way we do it.
Additionally we send a information message in the exception branch to the sending system

How to capture warranty information in CRM

Dear all,
How can we enter product warranty information in CRM system. We don't have equipment master data in ECC.
we need to enter warranty information in CRM and we need to link it with the relevant Product in the ECC system.
we want system to show / determine this warranty information at the time of service order or complaint creation.
when creating subsequent Return Order or Credit memo in ECC we need to capture this warranty information for the Reporting purpose.
What is the standard SAP solution for this requirement, and what configuration need to be done to achieve this.
Please educate me in the above scenario. Your help and suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Best regards
Raghu ram

Hi,
This can not be done using script logic.
This can also not be done using stored procedure, as this data is not stored in the <<Appset>> DB database table.
You can only get these information, in the data Audit logs, if it is enabled (will slow down the performance abruptly).
And, these data audit logs are not in <<Appset>> DB database, its in <<AppsetExtra>> DB database.
But this is logged only after the data is sent. So it is upto you to create a stored procedure to get these values and utilize it accordingly.
Or you can create a custom stored procedure to be invoked directly from excel when they are sending the data. The disadvantage here is, the procedure will be called only if the data is sent from that particular sheet.
Hope this helps.

Value Mapping back up

Hi XI experts,
do we have any option for taking the backup of Value Mapping(for e.g say 200 mapping configured) from RWB?
thanks in advance.

Hi Mohan,
Unfortunatelly there is no way to make a backup of the already uploaded Value Mapping. You can only export the Value Mapping group created manually in the Integration Directoy.
What you can do for future situations is create a repository (could be an excel file) for this information before sending it into cache. Make sure you include the group id in the repository.
That way when you need to upload it again you will have all the information in your repository.
Good luck.

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.

Partial match for Value Mapping in Import Manager

Hello Experts,
We have a import map which is used to do mass insert of data into the main table. This is done as & when required by the end user.
We have a qualified lookup field which has a flat lookup filed as the Non-Qualifier. This flat lookup field is refering to a Lookup Flat table, which has mulitple dispay fields like Code,Name, Status etc. (14 fields in total) where as only the Code is the unique field.
We have only the unique field in our source file which we use for the import. Since we have only a part of the display fields in the source, the automap functionality in the Value maping section doesn't work. It becomes very tedious for the user to manually map all the values for this field.
Is there any way by which we can convert the source or target values in the import map, so that we can map the values using the Automap feature?
Your help & suggestion for alternate approach is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Uday
P.S. We are using SAP MDM 5.5 SP6.

Hi Uday,
No need to enable remote key mapping for QLT. Please execute the below steps(stated with an example) -
1. Among all the fields in the referenced lookup table, identify the lookup fields and the tables they are looking up .
For eg.If you have a lookup field as 'Country' as one of the fields, look up table will be 'Countries'
2.For the identified lookup tables, set 'key mapping =Yes' in Console.
For eg, For Country Lookup table ,set Key mapping to 'Yes'
3.Import values into Lookup table (Import manager)/ Remote key update -
In import manager, select source (local file) and destination as Countries flat table.This Table will be haing 2fields - Code and description.Clone the 'Code'field and map it to Remote key field in destination hierarchy.Map code and description to equivalent destination fields. Select 'Code' as matching field > Perform import into lookup table.
Check if the records in countries table are updated with remote keys(in Data manager> right click on a record> select 'Edit key mappings' > view key mapping for the record)
3.Import to Qualified table/Auto value mapping -
Now, in the import map for qualified import , map the source field and destination field (of lookup type), all the values of this field will automatically map.
Similarly, refresh remote keys mappings for all the lookup tables first and then you can see auto mappings of values happening for the lookup fields.

Vinay M.S
