Mapping functions in XI

HI Experts,
I am looking for a doc , blog or any link where i can get explanation on all the mapping functions available and also about the user defined java mapping functions that we create.
thanks

HI
Mapping Techniques in XI
Different Mapping Techniques are available in XI. They are: Message Mapping, XSLT Mapping, Java Mapping and ABAP mapping.
u2022The integration repository includes a graphical mapping editor. It includes built-in functions for value transformations and queue and context handling. There is an interface for writing user-defined functions (java) as well.
u2022XSLT mappings can be imported into the Integration Repository; java methods can be called from within the XSLT style sheet. Advantages of this mapping are: open standard, portable, extensible via Java user-defined functions.
u2022If the transformation is very complex, it may be easiest to leverage the power of Java for mapping.
u2022ABAP mapping programs can also be written to transform the message structures.
Message Mapping
SAP XI provides a graphical mapping tool that generates a java mapping program to be called at run time.
u2022Graphically define mapping rules between source and target message types.
u2022Queue-based model allows for handling of extremely large documents.
u2022Drag-and-drop.
u2022Generates internal Java Code.
u2022Built-in and user-defined functions (in Java)
u2022Integrated testing tool.
u2022N:M mapping is possible.
Message mapping are of 2 types.
a.Structure Mapping: transform entire message structure.
b.Value Mapping: Transform values within messages.
Interface Mapping
An interface mapping registers a pair of interfaces for use in a scenario, and specifies the message mapping(s) to be used.
u2022Representation of mapping at the interface level.
u2022Mapping programs can be called sequentially.
u2022For synchronous interfaces, a request and response mapping can be provided.
JAVA MAPPING:
Usually Java mapping is preferred when the target structure is relatively complex and the transformation cannot be accomplished by simple graphical mapping.

Error while calling the Mapping function module for BW Extraction

Hi
iam getting runtime error while calling the BW mapping function
The error description is as shown below.
Runtime Errors CALL_FUNCTION_UC_STRUCT
Except. CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_TYPE
Short text
 Type conflict during structure parameter transfer at CALL FUNCTION.
What happened?
 Error in the ABAP Application Program
 The current ABAP program "GP466CV1Y7W2VML1PJ3VB80KDOP" had to be terminated
 because it has
 come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
Error analysis
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
 The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_TYPE', was
 not caught in
 procedure "CALL_MAPPING_FUNCTION" "(FORM)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING
 clause.
 Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
 exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
 The reason for the exception is:
 In the function "CMS_CB_BW_MAP", the STRUCTURE parameter "EXTRACT_DATA" is
 typed in such a way
 that only actual parameters are allowed, which are compatible in Unicode
 with respect to the fragment view. However, the specified actual
 parameter " " has an incompatible fragment view.
I am passing the EXTRACT_DATA parameter as specification LIKE with the associated type - corresponding structure
Please let me know how can i resolve this issue

Accessing container variable of BPM in Message Mapping function

Hi,
I have a scenario in BPM where i have a container variable that is used as a loop counter.I want to access that counter defined , every time when i go around the loop and perform certain actions based on that counter. so how can i access that variable in my message Mapping function.

Hi Sudharshan,
check these links, hope they give you the required information (i think there is some problem with SDN site, check these links after a while)

Writing message mapping function in Java in integration repository

Hi XI Pundits,
I am new to XI. I was working on Message mapping in intergration repository.
To map the source messages to target messages, we do graphical kind of mapping like drag and drop.
There are some functions aavilable at the bottom like concatehate, trim and etc. which we use if we need to modify the source message and map to target.
But in case we face a situation when we don't find the function which suits our requirement, I guess we need to write a new function. We can write these new function using Java only.
Can someone throw some light on this ?
What do we do to invoke java editor in integartion reposity to write mapping function in java ?
Can someone give an example of snippet of code ?
Thanks.

ORA-06521: PL/SQL: Error mapping function

You did not mention if the applicable table contains an ADT columns, nested tables and so on.
You can also do a basic test to determine if the problem is potentially with the table, or with dbms_stats itself. Create a plain table, e.g.
create table foo( id number, foo_char varchar2(100), constraint pk_foo primary key( id ) using index );
Using the exact same dbms_stats parameters, do this table. If it works, it points to a potential problem with the other table - some data structure/data type issue maybe. If it does not, then you have a problem with dbms_stats itself.
You can also drop the indexes on the DBO table and try dbms_stats with different parameters. I.e. change the conditions to see if the error still occur in order to isolate the problem.
You also could log an iTar/SR for this with Oracle Support.

ORA-06521: PL/SQL: Error mapping function with 10.1.0 external procedure

We have an external procedure running fine on 8.1.7 on VMS. After compiling and linking succesfully under 10.1.0, I get ORA-06521 PL/SQL: Error mapping function and ORA-06522: ERROR - vms_dlsym for file x, where x in the filename of the linked executable. Another external procedure that does not connect to the 10.1.0 database runs fine. What could be causing this error in Server 10.1.0 on VMS?
Thanks,
Dave

Here is the code to create the function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION f1
(h_file_name IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN BINARY_INTEGER
IS EXTERNAL
LIBRARY l1
NAME "f1"
LANGUAGE C
WITH CONTEXT
PARAMETERS
(CONTEST,
h_file_name string);
Here is the beginning of the Pro*C:
int f1(epctx, h_file_name)
OCIExtProcContext *epctx;
char h_file_name[70];
char h_line_txt [251];
int lineno;
FILE *fptr;
/* register the connection context ... */
EXEC SQL REGISTER CONNECT USING :epctx;
The function loads a flat file into the database. It is probably not related but are unable to SQLPLUS/ or SQLLDR/ into the database from an OS autheniticated account (get ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact.) Thanks for taking the time to look at this. There aren't many people trying this on VMS, I'd bet.

Your issue may relate to XE and it may relate to OCI but it does not relate to SQL and PL/SQL. Consider posting your question in a forum where it will be on topic.
When you do include full version information (3 decimal places) and the code that is generating the exception.

It's only a quick guess but have you checked your tnsnames.ora file to ensure you've opened the environment to find the libraries? If you set the EXTPROC_DLLS=ANY, you open the database to security issues but it should tell you if this cause because you can't access the library that contains the symbol.
SID_LIST_CALLOUT_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = <oracle_home_directory>)

to_char(test_write_rec.HIREDATE,'DD.MM.YYYY')
to_char(test_write_rec.SAL)

Fixed by running the catldap.sql script (ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catldap.sql) as SYS user and recreated the dbms_ldap packages. I am not sure why some of the functions worked OK and others did not.

All my attemps to use the wwv_flow_ldap functions have failed, and I am no resorting to DBMS_LDAP to get what I want. I am hoping thatsome helpful person can shed some light on this problem
Cheers

How to debug mapping function module during delta extraction?

Hi experts,
Somehow our delta is not working properly, and i would like to debug our mapping function module. How can i debug it during a delta extraction?
Some info:
Our source system is CRM and our extractor is extracting one order document (contracts in this case). I know that when we modify a contract, a bdoc is generated and then passed throught the mapping function then the extracted data to the delta queue. I just need to debug when the bdoc is being mapped to see what's wrong with the extracted data.
Thanks in advance,
Van

Hi,
Since you are using a Function Module for the Extraction. Edit the Function Module and give "BREAK-POINT" before the loop command. Check and activate the Function Module.
Now Extract the datasource using RSA3. Now you can debug it. After checking remove the "BREAK-POINT" from the function module. Also Check and activate the same.

Performance of an UDF v/s standard graphical mapping functions

Hello Experts,
I would like to get your opinion/comments on the performance issues with respect to speed of execution when using graphical functions for doing the date conversion requirement given below:
Requirement is to convert input date u20182008-12-03u2019 from the source side to u201820081203u2019 on the target side.
We have used the standard graphical mapping functions 'substring' & 'replacestring' for doing this conversion as explained here: The u2018substringu2018 function is used to capture the part of the string from the source. A u2018constantu2019 with value u2018u2013u2018 is replaced by u2018constantu2019 (empty value) by using the standard text function u2018replaceStringu2019 in the target side.
We did the same using the following UDF too:
public String convertDate(String dateStringInOriginalFormat) {
            SimpleDateFormat originalFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
            SimpleDateFormat newFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
            ParsePosition pos = new ParsePosition(0);
            Date dateFromString = originalFormatter.parse(
                        dateStringInOriginalFormat, pos);
            String dateStringInNewFormat = newFormatter.format(dateFromString);
            return dateStringInNewFormat;
From a critical performance point of view, which approach will fare better?
Thanks in Advance,
Earnest A Thomas

Hi,
Not only in this case but in general it is always better to use the functions available in MM and only if your requirement is not satisfied with the standard mapping functions then go for UDF.
Also for your requirement no need of going for substring....you can directly use the DateTransform function available.
Source --> DateTransform --> Target

Mapping issue - transformdate mapping function - urgent

all,
payload has date as "000000000" the mapping function transformdate is changing to 0002XXXXX.
y is this so?
we are on sp 18 of xi 3.0.
Did anyone face this issue
Please respond.
reg

dont worry
it is because in the datetrans function advanced properties, you have selected the option of a Calendar is linient and in any case the result, it is a bug
When a Calendar is lenient, it accepts a wider range of field values than it produces. For example, a lenient GregorianCalendar interprets MONTH == JANUARY, DAY_OF_MONTH == 32 as February 1. A non-lenient GregorianCalendar throws an exception when given out-of-range field settings. When calendars recompute field values for return by get(), they normalize them. For example, a GregorianCalendar always produces DAY_OF_MONTH values between 1 and the length of the month.

Is there a way I can use the iPhoto maps function within Keynote?

Hi,
I recently brought a Macbook Pro, and am having my first go at using Keynote. Having previously played with iPhoto, there is the map function built in, and I was wondering whether there is a way to use this in Keynote?
I was hoping to avoid using a screenshot of google maps as its not interactive, and plus quite bland too.
Any way this can be done?
Thanks,

Keynote can not interact with other applications other than launch a web browser, it cant display web content within a Keynote presentation.
The only way Keynote can be used to display a "live" web content is to launch a browser at a specific webpage, Google Maps for example,
To try this place a shape on the slide, select it then:
Inspector > Hyperlink > Enable as Hyperlink > link to webpage; type in the web address in the URL box

How to retrieve a class from a map function ?

I have a class which I add to Map Function something like this
import java.util.*;
public class DataStorage
 private Map<String, StoreData> callRecords = null;
 public void StoreCalls(String callOrigin, StoreData sd)
 callRecords = new HashMap<String, StoreData>();
 callRecords.put(callOrigin, sd);
 public Map<String, StoreData> getDataStorageMap()
 return callRecords;
}Now If I want to retreive the data using the Map how should I do it.....

You really need to study that tutorial. The answers are there, but in the case of Maps, keys are unique:
map.put("unqiue", obj1);
map.put("unique", obj2); //"unique" no longer maps to obj1 -- unless obj1 == obj2!
