Mesg mapping:File-to-RFC-1 row in src mapped as 3 rows in RFC internal tab

Hi,
I am doing a message mapping for a file-to-RFC scenario.
The source structure has fields material and material desc.
The RFC has an internal table as a parameter with the following structure:
 Item (0..unbounded)
 Material 0..1
 Level 0..1
 Desc 0..1
The requirement is to split the material number into 3 different numbers acc to some logic. These 3 numbers will go as Material in the 3 diff rows in the target internal table with some values for Level and material desc will be mapped to Desc.
I tried to do this by using Duplicate Subtree. But i get the following error while saving the mapping:
Target structure has no such path: /ns0:ZRFC_ZMDM_PROD_HIERARCHY/PROD_HIERARCHY/item[1]/MATERIAL. Skipping mapping..... and so on for other fields...
Can someone suggest a solution for the same?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Karen Pereira

Hi ,
U can write Used defined function to do the same , which returns the expected result . Copy it for three times change the Logic.
Hope it helps.,
Best Regards.,

Why are Map IDs landing in Project Map File, not All Maps, and with a .h extension

I am using the Tech Comm Ste 2, Adobe Robohelp 8.0.2.2 in Windows XP. I assign map IDs manually instead of using automap. I open the Edit Map IDs window. In the right column, under "Topic," I select the topic I want to map. I then click the icon below to open the Context-sensitive Properties for Help Topic window. I select the topic title, without the .htm, and copy it. Then, from the left column, I click the Map File dropdown list and select the HH file to which I want to map the help topic. I then click the icon at the bottom to open the Create/Edit Map ID window. In the first field, I paste the topic ID, and in the second field I enter the map ID I want to assign. Then I click OK.
Usually this places the topic in the correct HH file, highlighted in yellow until I select the topic from the list and then click Assign. For some reason, RH is not adding my topic to the HH file; instead it is adding it to the Project Map file. When I click OK, I get a blank window and the Assign button is disabled. My topic shows up in the Project Map File. The topic displays with the HH files and a .h extension has been added to it.
I can't delete these topics from the Project Map file. I can't assign them map IDs. And this seems to happen randomly. SOMETIMES I can map my topics, but I never know when I can do it and when one of them is going to land in the Project Map file.
Can anyone help?

Personally I've never had or heard of this issue. The fact that this appears to be random suggests that the MapFile dropdown may not be displaying the correct map file when you add or assign the mapid. Also check to ensure your project's source files are not located on a network drive as this can cause issues. If this continues perhaps you could give us an image of what you are seeing.

Creating external mapping file for C# application

Hi,
I'm using Robohelp 7 and producing HTMLHelp files. So far, the programmers have been making internal links in the program to call my help, but I'd like to take this over using an external mapping file.
Is it possible to use regular map files, using the built-in Map ID functionality, for C# .NET applications? If so, is there something special I have to do? Or do I just create a regular map file?
Thanks!

I mean that, in the past, they have hard-coded the link to each help page within the application. But, I'd like to take that over by maintaining a Map file where I specify the link between the topic and the Map ID.
However, I'm not sure that the map file works for C# .Net applications, and the engineers aren't sure either. I told them I'd go investigate.
Is there a way to create a Map file, or something that works like a map file, for a C# .Net application? Or do they have to go on hard-coding the links to each topic?

Using Map Files / Map IDs

Heya,
RH9, merged webhelp
I'm trying to set up Map IDs for a quasi-context sensitive help feature, and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I've read through the RH9 help which links to the Grainge website and a couple more links, but I'm still not sure what to do.
First, the background:
We auto-generate a set of release notes for new features and fixes. This is done using a script that pulls the relevant information out of Dovetail (basically where all our support and development cases are stored). So basically our release list shows the case number, the area of the software, and a brief summary of the fix/feature. The release notes are script-generated as an .html file that we can link to in help.
The issue is that they want me to alter the release notes so that the case number serves as a hyperlink to the relevant topic in help. So, for example, if we had a new feature for widget making, case number 12345, the release notes entry for this would have a hyperlink that would take the user to the 'Widget Making' help topic.
My thinking is that I can use the case numbers as Map IDs, ie assign Map ID '12345' to the 'Widget Making' topic, and then create a generic link in the release notes that can 'insert' the relevant case number when the user goes to find that associated help topic.
Potential Issue:
We use a merged help system, but we do not need to merge map files. Our help system consists of one mostly-empty parent project (title page, about page, etc.), a project that contains the majority of our topics, a project that contains database information for technical users, and a few other odd projects. All of the linked topics are going to be in the same main child help project. Because of this, the map file/IDs are going to be a single set in a single project, but not the parent project.
Does this only affect the pathway for the basic link (e.g. "webhelp/mergedProjects/child1.htm" instead of "webhelp/start.htm"?), or are there other considerations? For example, the merged help map ID topics I've seen talk about using number ranges to denote the different projects, but since we've only the one, do we really need to do that? To me, it seems like we should be able to use a relatively straight-forward single-project type link, with the only difference being that the the link goes to a child project folder and not the main webhelp folder.
So far in testing, the link doesn't work, so I'm wondering if either the URL is not as straight-forward as I hoped, or I'm missing something else due to the nature of how our webhelp is set up. Because it's a child, do we still need to 'merge' map files even if we don't need one for the parent? (ie we create an empty parent map file, merge it with the child, and link to the parent?)
Thanks for any tips/advice!

Hi,
When you use CSH in a merged project, the master project will automatically check all child projects when the context sensitive id cannot be found in the master project. Peter’s method includes merging the map files but I don’t think that is necessary. We have several merged projects that work perfectly without merging the map files. But Peter is the authority on merged help
It is important to first get the terminology straight. In WebHelp there are Map ID’s and Map numbers. The Map ID (or topic id) is an alphanumeric string that can be anything from one character to a hundred or more characters. Then there are the Map numbers. Map numbers are a number between 1 and 4.294.967.295.
The terminology is important because what RoboHelp calls a Map ID may be referred to as a map number. Reading the article on Peter’s site I get the impression that what is called a Map ID on Peter’s site is actually the Map number in RoboHelp. (Please correct me if I’m wrong Peter.) The Map ID in RoboHelp is the Topic ID on Peter’s site. See step 8 of the article, it describes how to create a test page using the default RoboHelp JavaScript API. But that test page actually uses the map numbers as the default JS API does not support topic id’s, only map numbers.
Your map file tells the following:
‘12345’ is the Map ID or topic ID.
‘1’ is the Map number. The Map ID referred to on Peter’s site if I’m not mistaken.
Calling the Map number 12345 will not work if you use the default method because you are looking for the wrong number. Try the following:
Say that your master project is placed on http://localhost/newproject.htm. Open a new browser window and add the following URL in the browser where you replace the url with the url your project is placed:
http://localhost/newproject.htm#<str=12345
Does this get the desired result? Also try the test page but use ‘1’ instead of ‘12345’. Does this also get the correct page?
You (or your developers) may also be interested in my WebHelp CSH dissection: http://www.wvanweelden.eu/robohelp/webhelp/csh Note that this article is aimed at developers and does not provide any direct answers, but it will help you understand the different settings in RoboHelp.
Hope this doesn’t confuse you and I hope my assumptions about your intended action are correct.
Greet,
Willam

Newbie Map File question

I have inherited a huge project in RoboHelp which contains
multiple map files. One of the map files is the custom map file
that was apparently imported. This is the only one I need, yet
there is also a BSSCDefault.h. When I right click to delete, it is
greyed out. There are no map IDs in it, but it's still there. There
is also the "All Map IDs" file which appears to be identical to my
custom file. I'm guessing that one has to stay? I've managed to
delet all the rest of the old map files.
Each time I assign a map ID I feel that I have to make sure
that I select my custom map ID from the drop-down box, and that's
just one more step that I could accidentally forget. I'd rather do
away with everything else so I'll know that I'm always using only
my custom map file. Is this possible?
Thanks so much in advance for your help.

Welcome to the forums.
I don't think the "All Map IDs" is a file in itself, but
maybe a combination of all files' IDs displayed together. I don't
know for sure, as I always use only one map file for a project, and
I leave BSSCDefault empty. The BSSCDefault file seems like it is
forced on us, but we don't have to use it, as you know.
I think you mean that you are selecting your custom map file
name from the "Map File" dropdown box. You can skip that step by
clicking on your map file's name in the Project Manager. For
example, I have a map file called "cshmap.h." In the Project
Manager, I expand Context-Sensitive Help, then Map Files, then
double-click "cshmap.h," which has a page icon with an "h." The map
ID dialog opens with cshmap.h selected in the dropdown, so all the
changes I make will be in that file.
Hope this helps,
Ben

How do Map files work with a Windows application?

I need confirmation on how map files work.
I have created a map file previously and have updated the HTML help with a few new topics and changed the Title on a handfull of topics.
The map file setup is done for the new topics, but I am thinking I need to "fix" those topics whose title has changed.
I have opened the Map.h file I created and looked at the references, for simplicity sake lets say it looks like this:
#define Dials_Setup 1
#define Project_Setup 2
#define Scenario Scenario_Setup 54
I assume the mapping process goes like this:
(1) I hand off map file and the CHM help file
(2) Developer addes the ID of "2" to the Project Setup window form
(3) When the user is on the Project Setup window, they press F1
(4) The Project Setup window form gets the ID of "2"
(5) The Map.h file translates the "2" to "Project_Setup" topic title
(6) The CHM is opened to the topic with a title of "Project_Setup"
So, if I changed the title of the topic from "Project_Setup" to "Project_Setup_Window" would I have to update the line item in the Map.h file from "Project_Setup" to "Project_Setup_Window" for the mapping to work and the client to see the correct topic when the press F1?
I am thinking these all need to be in sync between the Map.h file and the CHM file.
As always, thanks for any guidance.
Michael F Weart

Hi, Michael
You have it right - basically. I'll just add a few notes.
Yes. Typically you would give the .h and the .chm file to the developer. However, sometimes the developer will give you a .h file created from their IDE tool (e.g., Visual Studio). In that case, you would Import the .h file into your RoboHelp project and map it that way. Or it can be a combination as long as there are no duplicates of Map #s or Context IDs. Another tip: You can also generate a Map File Report (Tools > Reports > Map IDs) which can be a handy guide for the developer.
Note: The alphanumeric string for the Context ID (sometimes also called a Topic ID) does not necessarily have to be formed from the Topic Title. The reason it may seem that way is because RoboHelp uses the Topic Title as a matter of convenience to help you keep track of the which topic is being mapped. The main thing is that there are no duplicates and RoboHelp has a report for that as well. In Microsoft HTML Help (.chm), the actual mapping from the .h Map # to the URL of the actual topic can be found in the .ali (alias) file which can be found in your Project root. The .ali file is compiled into the .chm itself.
Here is a good Online Help topic with more details:

Importing Map Files into a Project

Hello,
The programmers at my job create map files, and when map
files are sent to me, they're sent in a format that includes hex
values (e.g.: 0x1177E). I've noticed map files that were imported
in other help projects have this format:
#define ID_Size 1001
Out of curiousity, do map files have to be in the above
format before importing them into a help project, or can RoboHelp
perform a conversion to the above format once map files are
imported?
Since I receive map files from programmers, do they need to
convert the map files to the above format before sending them to
me?
I found something in the Knowledge Base Guided Search on
this, but I want to know if anyone knows of a new process that may
be in the latest version (X5) of RoboHelp.
Thanks,
Felicia

Hi John,
Thanks for your response. These are a few map IDs/map numbers
and how they appear in one of the map files given to me by a
programmer:
HID_SELECTION 0x10005
HID_SNAPS_CANCEL 0x10006
HID_TOOLBARS_PRINT 0x10007
HID_T_FITTING_MANIFOLD 0x11AB2
I wonder, according to what's stated in the Help for
RoboHelp, if the map ID should appear like this before I import the
map file into a project:
#define HID_SELECTION 0x10005
or:
#define HID_SELECTION 65541
Does the "#define" have to be in front of the map ID and map
number before the import takes place?

Mapping FILE-RFC

Hi everyone.
I've made an XML.
My message type is
field: bukrs 1..unbounded.
The file will contain N company codes.
On the other side, i have a BAPI. This bapi contains, as tables, to fields : company and error.
i want to make the mapping between the XML file and the internal table of the BAPI called company (defined in tables).
How do i have to make the mapping?
Thanks

Hi inigo,
There are many ways to proceed with this scenario.
1. You can use graphical mapping wherein you need to import your BAPI in the integration repository and map the reqiurements as needed.
Note: While doing complex mapping, be careful on fixing the context's for the source fields to get the desired output.
2. You can also use ABAP mapping for the same.
You create an ABAP mapping in SE24 transaction and specify the ABAP mapping in the mapping objects in your repository.
3. If your scenario is strictly File to RFC, You don't need a mapping, create a inbound proxy out of the XML file in the SAP system, Loop throu the source XML data and dump it in the internal table specified and make a call with the RFC

About the number of rows used to map data in Xcelsius

Hi Everyone:
I am using web services to fetch data into Xcelsius. The information I got from web service will increase in time and what I suppose is when I run out of rows to get all data I must open my Xcelsius model and select a greater range of rows on each component to get all the data that the web service is bringing.
Is there an alternative to avoid modifying ranges of data in crontrollers when rows mapped are not enough for the data you are fetching from a web service?
It is a bit confusing, I hope I've been clear enough. I really really will appreciate your opinions. If possible give me technical explanations.
Thank you,
Skull
Edited by: skull_buck on Aug 6, 2009 7:40 PM

Hi Greg
Thanks for your fast reply.
What you suggested is exactly what I am doing now, and also I increased the number of rows allowed to map en Xcelsius which are 512 by default.
I would like to know now, how many rows are advisable to increase? Because I am using some components and you must specify for each one a certain number of rows.
I test mapping 3000 and even 6000 rows but the model is too slow and I was not able to export the swf file in any format.
Thank you again,
Skull

Unbound Mapping file with attributes.

Hi,
Could anyone please explain about Unbound mapping.
I am trying to map a file to a unbound mapping file.
While validating the mapping I got the following error.
I am using OWB 10G R1.
Error:
VLD:1111-The mapping cannot be generated.because it contains a combination or sequence of operators.
When I view the details...
An invalid combination of operators prevents the generation of code in a single implementation language (PL/SQL code, or SQL*Loader code, or ABAP code). For example, you may have included a SQL*Loader only operator such as the Data Generator in a mapping with a PL/SQL implementation type. If you designed the mapping to generate PL/SQL code, an invalid combination or sequence of operators prevents the generation of PL/SQL code in any of the operating modes(set based, row based, row based target only). If the mapping contains an operator that generates only PL/SQL output, all downstream dataflow operators must also be implementable by PL/SQL. You can use SQL operators in such a mapping only after loading the PL/SQL output to a target. Detail is as follows:
PL/SQL set based operating mode: Operator F_3cell_site_txt does not support SQL generation.
PL/SQL row based operating mode: Operator F_3cell_site_txt does not support SQL and PL/SQL generation.
PL/SQL row based (target only) operating mode: Operator F_3cell_site_txt does not support SQL and PL/SQL generation.
Both SQL and PL/SQL handlers are not supported by F_3cell_site_txt as output
SQL*Loader: Operator TEST_UNBOUND_FILE does not support SQL*Loader generation.
ABAP: Operator F_3cell_site_txt does not support ABAP generation.
Thanks and regards
Gowtham Sen.

Hi,
I have never heard of Unbound Mapping. I think the problem is with your usage of your OWB operators. If you are using flat file as source directly into your mapping and the in your mapping flow using OWB operators like Joiners/ Set Operators such kinds of errors appear.
Try using an external table(which is based on your source file structure) as the source in your mapping. This external table can then be used against all your well known OWB operators.

Without BPM:Call RFC using JCO in interface mapping using java mapping

Hi all
I have a very small scenario where REQUEST from the customer comes via Web Service all i have to do is to read the request using SOAP adapter and call an interface mapping(lets say the name is IM_TEST) inside which there is a JAVA MAPPING program written which will call an RFC in CRM using JCO.
Now this was really simple and i cud test the Interface mapping successfully, but the problem is when loading the scenario in integration directory i have certain things to do
1. to set the SENDER AGREEMENT which i did correctly
2. set the RECEIVER DETERMINATION, INTERFACE DETERMINATION AND RECEIVER AGREEMENT now here i am stuck because there is no receiver in my case as the RFC is called inside the mapping only.
can i call one more message mapping in IM_TEST which will write file onto the XI directory and then in RECEIVER DETERMINATION, INTERFACE DETERMINATION AND RECEIVER AGREEMENT i can mention the reciever as FTP.
I tried it but i gives the following error
Runtime exception occurred during execution of application mapping program com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_TEST_WRITE_FILE: com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException; Parsing an empty source. Root element expected!
Please help me how to complete the scenario so that customer can run it end to end.

What do i do then...actually this is the project requirement. They want a very fast response from PI and thats why they wnt us to omit BPM and the Graphical mapping from the scenario.
I am able to test the interface mapping which calls the the Java mapping inside which there is an RFC call, but i cannot implement it end - to - end as there is no receiver business system in this case. The only business system i have is the SOAP sender.
I am really troubled now, please help me with a solution.
Is there any other possible way through which the process can become very fast whic hcan meet their requirement.

Is is possibel to do an RFC Lookup from The Graphical Mapping?

Greetings,
While doing a message mapping I need to get the value from R3 system using an RFC, is it is possible ?

Hi
we can do by using rfc look ups
Lookup in mapping is the feature provided by SAP to lookup the data in the target R/3 or DB systems with the API provided.
You need to write UDF in order to implement the API's provided by SAP.Consider the below example
VendorNumber-UDF--CURR
The scenario is legacy to SAP. The legacy system doesn't provide the currency details. But the target field need's to be populated with currency value.
"The business rules says there are values maintained in SAP Table where if you pass VendorNumber it will return thr currency to you"
So what you can do? You can write UDF implementing SAP Provided API's and do a lookup in the SAP System and get back the currency value and populate them in CURR field.
I hope it clears a bit.
Please find the below blogs
DB Lookup: /people/siva.maranani/blog/2005/08/23/lookup146s-in-xi-made-simpler
RFC Lookup:https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a03e7b02-eea4-2910-089f-8214c6d1b439
There are three types of look ups u can do
RFC look up
SOAP look up
JDBC look up
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.
Lookup method from GUI mapping can be called using any of the following ways.

Map File name in BPM to email response

I have a scenario I am working:
File FTP -> FTP -> RFC
The file is deleted off initial server and pulled into our landscape to Processing server, then processed into SAP via RFC. I wish for an email response to send on pass/fail of interface.
This is all done and executing as expected with pass/fail message in body of email, received in inbox - no problem.
However, one thing is missing....
When the file is first processed, the File name is deleted and renamed with a time and date stamp (not ideal, but I got this working) is added when the file is created on receiving server. I am using a BPM to do the file send mapping and email response.
I wish to map the initial file name to the new file name, and then process then add time/date stamp when placed into Archive folder. I would like the email to have the original name oif the file in the Subject line of the email, if possible....
Has anyone done something similar? Can you point me in the right direction?

Hi,
You can do this using Adapter specific identifiers in receiver CC. You can get the same filename as your source file.
Blog: /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14
Go thro this thread as well for more details: Target file of the same name as source file
Then in BPM, add one more send step for a file receiver CC and place the file in the archive directory with timestamp.

P.Venkat.

REP-52005: The specified key userlogin does not exist in the key map file.

Hi,
I am using oracle 11g report server. I am getting the error of REP-52005: The specified key userlogin does not exist in the key map file.
I updated the user_string in cgicmd.dat file. My cgicmd.dat file content is below
; OracleAS Reports Services ;
; CGICMD.DAT ;
; Example CGICMD.DAT Mapping file ;
; Syntax:
; KEY : VALUE
; Where:
; KEY - the first argument of the rwservlet URL request (case sensitive).
; VALUE - command line parameters and/or special parameters.
; Keys can be referenced in the following ways:
; 1. Parameter on command line to the reports servlet
; e.g. http://machine/servlet/rwservlet?KEY
; 2. Parameter on command line to a reports jsp
; e.g. http://machine/mydir/myreport.jsp?KEY
; 3. Within a reports jsp - in the rw:report custom tag
; e.g. <rw:report parameters="KEY">
; In addition to the Reports Server command line parameters, VALUE can include special parameters
; represented as "%X", where X identifies the parameter. Currently recognized special
; parameters:
; %0 - %9 - 0..9 arguments from original rwservlet URL request. Note that %0 refers to the key itself.
; %* - entire contents (all arguments) of original rwservlet URL request.
; %D - request users to input database userid everytime they run the report.
; %P - request for report parameter form in HTML format. It generates the PARAMFORM=HTML
; construction on the first submission of the URL and PARAMFORM=NO upon parameter form submission.
; CGICMD.DAT Usage Notes
; 1. Multiple keys in this file MUST be separated by an EXTRA empty line.
; 2. Extra spaces are ignored. Multi-line entries allowed.
; 3. Lines starting with ";" character are treated as a comments.
; 4. Comments within a key or key value are NOT allowed.
; 5. NLS language support is provided and can be used (encoding should match the one
; used in HTML request - no language conversion of any kind is attempted.
; 6. For %P special parameter, HTML format is by default mapped to the HTMLTABLE format in this release.
; The HTML format in the future may be mapped to the HTMLCSS format.
;;;;;;;;;;;; Example Key Entries
; Example 1: Run a simple breakb report and output to HTML

As in the above file i have added a key as userlogin at the end of the file. But the reports server does not take the key that i have given. I followed the same steps provided in oracle docs. I used "showmap" to check the cgicmd file that is used by the reports
http://aspirevm8-17.aspiresys.com:9002/reports/rwservlet/showmap?server=bluQubeReportsAtLocalEnv&destype&userid=SYMFINBT…
It shows me the content of the cgicmd.dat file and it also shows my updations. But in the "Parsed Map File Entries" it does not show my key value pair

uncomment #KEYPMAPFILE=CGICMD.DAT. remove the #
then for development set
reloadkeymap=yes (same file - rwservlet.properties).
Now it should reload everytime. (otherwise for every change u need to restart oc4j_bi_forms)
(For * production* may be you want to set reloadkeymap=no once all testing is done)
see cgicmd.dat for many examples of using keymap file

How to Rename a Topic ID in Map File to Avoid Conflict with Another Program?

Robo 8 HTML:
Can somebody assist me in understanding how to rename a topic ID in my map.h file?
An application programmer informs me there are nine topic IDs (shown below) in my project map file which conflict with predefined names of constants/functions from the Visual Studio Libs program and, is requesting I change the names of the topics listed below to resolve topic ID conflict in order to enable F1 call for these topics.
#define Open 59
#define Save 60
#define Print 63
#define Cut 72
#define Copy 73
#define Paste 74
#define Clear 75
#define Status 81
#define Substructure 139
Can I simply alter the topic names and retain their associated map numbers in <Create/Edit Map ID> dialog to resolve the map file conflict with Visual Studio Libs program functions? Or, is there more work involved in changing a topic name in a map.h file?
Any assistance with this question is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
robert

Hi,
Simply renaming the TopicID's in the .h file won't work. The TopicID is used in the alias file (projectname.ali) to link a map number with a topic. Also, you can use either TopicID's or map numbers to call the help. (Using TopicID's only works for WebHelp afaik.)
If you use map numbers to call the help, you can rename the TopicID using the mentioned dialog. No problem.
If you want to change the ID from the files, you have to change both the .h file as the .ali file. No changes to topics needed.
