Mapping Null fields.

Hi all,
Ive configured an IDOC-to-File scenario with the IDOC MATMAS. The file generated uses the nl as the record delimiter and #! as the field separator. Everything works fine except when the IDOC has null fields. In these cases the communication channel does not write these fields because they are not in the XML message and then the structure within the file is bad. I need to write the entire fields even if they are not in the XML-IDOC. I found the mapping function mapWithDefault but there are a lot of fields to map. Is there any other solution to force Comunication Channel or the mapping process to write all the fields even if they have null values?
Thank you in advance!

You shud map all the necessary fields manually using the graphical mapping for instantiating the fields on the target.

Kittu.

Mapping failure in Null fields passing

Hi
We are facing some problem in null fields passing to RFC side.. some times the JDBC colums not having the data ,
so that time our map is failing to call RFC.
Please let me know any prevent methodologies for this?
Target side field occurances are 0...1
Regards
rambarki

Hi Rambarki,
since your target field is optional, you can map your target only if the value is present in the source, do not map if it is null.
Also are you getting any specific error ?
Have a look at this thread aswell..
JDBC Adapter: Mapping: result contains only null values

It looks you are new to PI,
you have to develop scenario end to end, by creating source data type and target data type(if you have XSD's not required),then use Graphical mapping (message mapping) to map source and target structures.
Search in sdn for one end to end scenario you will understand easily

There is really no "best" setting here for the AirPort Express devices. If you need more wireless coverage in the area where an Express is located, then it makes sense to configure the Express to "extend" a wireless network.
If you already have good coverage in an area where an Express is located, then the "join" configuration makes sense.
I've yet to meet the first user who felt that he/she had too much wireless signal coverage in their home, but you never know.

In XI Mapping multiple fields mapping to single target field.

Hi Friends,
In XI Mapping multiple fields mapping to single target field.
For example my requirement is :
Source Fields:(This RFC BAPI Structure)
Empno                0-1
EmpName           0-1
Address             0-1
Taget Field is:
Details               0-1
The above three fields passed to the Details Field. Here i am using Concat function
But i have one query on that on,Every field having "line Break" required.
Can you please help me out above this requirement.
Thanks in Advance,
Sateesh N.

If you want a line break between the three fields, then try
passing a,b,c to the udf and in the udf you would have
return a+"\n"+b+"\n"+c;

Compilation error
Any one having any guesses on why this error is coming. I know this error would vanish if we map the field by an Empty Constant. But then it would start giving error for the next field until all the non mandatory fields are mapped.
If however I go ahead and map all the fields then the output structure generates all the segments the maxOccurs times. i.e. if a segment is occuring 999 times then that segment is repeated that many time in the output whereas I never needed that segment in the output.
Can any one suggest as to why this is happening. Am I doing some thing wrong or this is a problem with Mapping Editor in XI 2.0 SP5.
Ashish

Hello Ashish,
this is a bug in the mapping tool. You have to apply the note 730081. It says:
Symptom
After you import XI20 Support Package 04 or Support Package 05, you can
no longer change and regenerate the message mapping (graphic mapping
tools).
The following error is displayed during activation or generation: No
Mapping for value.......
Other terms
Graphic mapping tools, SAPINTSER05, no mapping vor value
Reason and Prerequisites
This problem is caused by a translation error.
Solution
The translation error has been corrected.
As of patch level 1, the correction is provided in the SAPINTSER05_1.sca
archive of the INTEGRATION Services 2.0 software component and, as of
patch level 2 for Support Package 5, it is provided in the
SAPINTBUI05_2.sca archive of the INTEGRATION BUILDER 2.0 software
component. The archives are available on the SAP Service Marketplace at:
http://service.sap.com/patches
SAP EXCHANGEINFRASTRUCTURE/SAP EXCHANGEINFRASTRUCTURE 2.0
Binary Patches/INTEGRATION SERVICES 2.0/OSINDEP and
..... /INTEGRATION BUILDER 2.0/OSINDEP
Import the archives using SDM.
The mapping must be recompiled after deployment.

Hi,
You can find the fields and related infoobject for the datasource as follows
Step1
log on to the BW system
Step2
Go to SE11 ---> give the table name as RSOSFIELDMAP and execute
Step3
give the data source name for OLTPSOURCE field and execute
Step4
you will find the mapping between fields and relevent infoobjects
Hope this helps

XI Message Monitoring - Mapping custom fields for search in monitor?

Is it possible to map a reference field so that searching for a specific message is more user friendly?
For example, we produce hundreds of outbound SHPMNT04 messages each day. Would it be possible to map a field such as E1EDT20.TKNUM (Shipment Number) to a field in the monitor (SXMB_MONI) such as "Outbound Reference" so we can easily search on this field?
Currently we use a combination of WE09 and IDX5 to find a specific message. Obviously, this is cumbersome and time-consuming.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
of course it is possible in many ways
there are at least two ways
the first one is to use Trex search for xi + standard
the second one is described in this weblog + but remember that
without indexing this will take long to search like this

ABAP Mapping Black Field Missing

Hi,
I did an ABAP Mapping, one field of a sender message could be full of spaces or with some data. When a message with data for that field is sent, the mapped field in the receiver message had the data, but when I send a full spaces data field the receiver message have no data, it's empty. Somebody could help me?

Hi,
Btw, where are you looking about this field ? In the sxmb_moni ? If so are u able to see the XML tags generated for that field ? If not
Check the existsence of the field in the mapping. If there is no field i.e empty, then pass the spaces explicitly..
It is like , Built-in function in the message mapping i.e "EXISTS" with If-Else logic.
If you are able to see the xml tags generated for that field, view the SXMB_MONI message in the notepad, so that you can view the space.
Hope this helps,

"mapping null reg" compiler error LV2009

Opens fine in LV 8.6, but gives "Compiler error. mapping null reg" error in LV 2009.
If you get rid of the 2D transpose, the code compiles fine.

I'm trying to import contacts to outlook 2011 from a cvs file. I've followed all the steps, mapped the fields, clicked import -- it shows that it imported my 900 contacts --- but the contact field remains blank and I can't see any information. Help?

I'm trying to import contacts to outlook 2011 from a cvs file. I've followed all the steps, mapped the fields, etc. It appears to import all 900 contacts, but after finishing nothing appears in my contact list. Any ideas on why this is not working?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

If you have configured a fileport where on trigger of IDOC you are creating the file, you can look at the message type documentation and get the offset values for each field in each segment
