Mapping - Repeated values not nested to nested

Question

Hi all,
for my mapping I have an input schema like (excerpt)
<Schema>
<Verfahren53>
<SADK></SADK> (1-1)
<Sequence> (1-9999)
<SANK>
<NaNr></NaNr>
</SANK>
<Sequence> (1-999)
<SAPO>
<Name></Name>
</SAPO>
</Sequence>
</Sequence>
</Verfahren53>
</Schema>
My output schema looks like (excerpt)
<Schema>
<interchange>
<intref></intref> (1-1)
<message> (1-unbounded)
<mesref></mesref> (1-1)
<mesbody>
<item> (1-99999)
<name></name>
</item>
</mesbody>
</message>
</interchange>
</Schema>
I have conected
- SADK to intref
- NaNr to mesref
- Name to name
in the mapping
The input message looks like
(NaNr "001" contains "Name1" and NaNr "002" contains "Name2" and "Name3")
<Schema>
<Verfahren53>
<SADK>123456789</SADK>
<Sequence>
<SANK>
<NaNr>001</NaNr>
</SANK>
<SAPO>
<Name>Name1</Name>
</SAPO>
<SANK>
<NaNr>002</NaNr>
</SANK>
<SAPO>
<Name>Name2</Name>
</SAPO>
<SAPO>
<Name>Name3</Name>
</SAPO>
</Sequence>
</Verfahren53>
</Schema>
The message i get looks like
(mesref "001" contains "Name1" to "Name3" and mesref "002" contains "Name1" to "Name3")
<Schema>
<interchange>
<intref>123456789</intref>
<message>
<mesref>001</mesref>
<mesbody>
<item>
<name>Name1</name>
</item>
<item>
<name>Name2</name>
</item>
<item>
<name>Name3</name>
</item>
</mesbody>
</message>
<message>
<mesref>002</mesref>
<mesbody>
<item>
<name>Name1</name>
</item>
<item>
<name>Name2</name>
</item>
<item>
<name>Name3</name>
</item>
</mesbody>
</message>
</interchange>
</Schema>
I want the message to be like
(mesref "001" contains "Name1" and mesref "002" contains "Name2" and "Name3")
<Schema>
<interchange>
<intref>123456789</intref>
<message>
<mesref>001</mesref>
<mesbody>
<item>
<name>Name1</name>
</item>
</mesbody>
</message>
<message>
<mesref>002</mesref>
<mesbody>
<item>
<name>Name2</name>
</item>
<item>
<name>Name3</name>
</item>
</mesbody>
</message>
</interchange>
</Schema>
I already tried different conbinations and variations of Looping Functoid getting different messages.
But I never got a message the way I wanted it to be.
I hope you can help me (if you understand my problem)
Thanks
Andy

Hi Andy,
In your source schema, What is the relationship between <SANK> and <SAPO> node? Does <SAPO> contain any reference of the <SANK> node? I think the problem is in the source schema, this
doesn’t specify clear relationship between <SANK> and <SAPO>. I understand they come under a Sequence, but they don't have clear relationship between then other than the fact that they appear next to each other:
<Schema>
<Verfahren53>
<SADK>123456789</SADK>
<Sequence>
<SANK>
<NaNr>001</NaNr>
</SANK>
<SAPO>
<Name>Name1</Name>
</SAPO>
<SANK>
<NaNr>002</NaNr>
</SANK>
<SAPO>
<Name>Name2</Name>
</SAPO>
<SAPO>
<Name>Name3</Name>
</SAPO>
</Sequence>
</Verfahren53>
</Schema>
Just sequence would not define the relationship between two different nodes.
