Message mapping problem: BAPI with range table parameters

A kind hello to all,
I try to call the BAPI_ALM_ORDERHEAD_GET_LIST in a 4.70 system via RFC connector. The configuration already works with another BAPI. With this here I get message mapping exception:
Trace level="1" type="T">com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException: RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformation: Zielelement /ns1:BAPI_ALM_ORDERHEAD_GET_LIST kann nicht angelegt werden. Prüfen Sie, ob die XML-Instanz für die Ausgangs-XSD und die Zielfeldzuordnung die Anforderungen der Ziel-XSD erfüllt. at com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.AMappingProgram.start
(How can I switch the trace language to English easily? I try to translate:
"BAPI_ALM_ORDERHEAD_GET_LIST cannot be created. Check if the XML instance meets the requirements for the output XSD and the destination field mapping meets the requirements of the destination XSD.")
But the mapping test tool in the Integration Builder Design does not report any warning or error.
My guess is that the problem lies in the parameter structure of the BAPI_ALM_ORDERHEAD_GET_LIST: I have to fill the IT_RANGES selection range table, so it looks as if I need several instances of the item in the corresponding XML. Can I use "Duplicate tree" in the mapping editor? Here I got another exception?
Many thanks for any help!
Regards,
Carsten

Hi Udo,
you gave the final hint, indeed I used a XML file that was not evidently not compliant to the message type I created (even though it had been validated by Altova XMLspy).
From now onwards I only use the "Create instance" function of the test tool to create the XML body of my test messages...
Thanks a lot,
and best regards,
Carsten

Problem in selection from data base with RANGE-TABLE.

Dear folks,
               I am facing weird problem with range table in selection query.I have problem with bold part of code.Here when i give input to both ranges r_salesno,r_brandid then and the selection occurs ,when i put black in one of those it does not work.I haev passed Empty table to range if no inpiut in elements..although it does not work..I dont know why it is happening...By the i m using this code in Webdynpro ABAP.Please help points will be awarded..
if Stru_Cn_Selcrtr-ca_slsrl is not initial.
    wa_salesno-sign = 'I'.

Hello Nirad
Your coding is problematic. I assume that field SALESRLNO (of table ZNSLVWHDIMMD_LCL) probably means sales number (or sales order) and, thus, must not be empty. If this is correct then the first IF statement is probably wrong:
if Stru_Cn_Selcrtr-ca_slsrl is not initial.
    wa_salesno-sign = 'I'.
    wa_salesno-option = 'EQ'.
    wa_salesno-LOW = Stru_Cn_Selcrtr-ca_slsrl.
    APPEND wa_salesno TO r_salesno.
    CLEAR : wa_salesno .
else.
    REFRESH: r_salesno. " means: select all sales numbers
" NOTE: If you fill the range like below this means that only sales order
"            with no sales number (= ' ', space) should be select.
" Thus, there will never be any sales order selected.
*   wa_salesno-sign = 'I'.
*   wa_salesno-option = 'EQ'.
*   wa_salesno-LOW = space.
*   APPEND wa_salesno TO r_salesno.
*    CLEAR : wa_salesno .
endif.
The same logic applies to the second IF statement. If you want to select all BRANDID if none has been provided as selection criteria then code:
if Stru_Cn_Selcrtr-ca_brand is not initial.
    wa_brandid-sign = 'I'.
    wa_brandid-option = 'EQ'.
    wa_brandid-LOW = Stru_Cn_Selcrtr-ca_brand.
    APPEND wa_brandid TO r_brandid.
    CLEAR : wa_brandid .
else.
    REFRESH: r_brandid. " means: select all BRANDID
*    wa_brandid-sign = 'I'.
*    wa_brandid-option = 'EQ'.
*     wa_brandid-LOW = space.
*    APPEND wa_brandid TO r_brandid.
*    CLEAR : wa_brandid .
endif.

Problem in mapping xml data with imported RFC parameters

I am currently working on a senario in which a flat file is generated by an RFID server and placed in FTP server.
The flat file is picked up from the FTP server using XI and the contents are mapped to the corresponding imported RFC parameters.
The content of the file which is in text format is successfully converted in XML at the XI side.
File contains records of 2 fields Functional location and RFID equipment number . In the R/3 side these fields
are used as Functional location and equipment number of PM module .
The structure of the FTP message is as follows
<ns:RFID_MSG_TYPE xmlns:ns="urn://sisl:rfiddemo">
<RecordSet>
<Row>
   <FL1>"f1</FL1>
   <FL2>01</FL2>
   <FL3>01</FL3>
   <RFID_NUM>I001"</RFID_NUM>
</Row>
</RecordSet>
</ns:RFID_MSG_TYPE>
After the mapping program which maps the above structure to the imported RFC is executed the following payload document is generated
<ns:ZRFID_EQUIP xmlns:ns="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
<RECORDS>
<item>
   <FLOC>f1-01-01</FLOC>
   <RFID_NO>I001</RFID_NO>
</item>
</RECORDS>
</ns:ZRFID_EQUIP>
The size of FLOC is 30 of type string and RFID_NO is also a string with size 18.
When the data is brought in R/3 both the fields FLOC and RFID_NO gets mapped in FLOC which is of type char30.

Hi Naveen,
In sxmb_moni the content transmitted to the adapter(RFC)is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns:ZRFID_EQUIP xmlns:ns="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
- <RECORDS>
- <item>
<FLOC>f1-01-01</FLOC>
<RFID_NO>I006</RFID_NO>
</item>
- <item>
<FLOC>f1-01-02</FLOC>
<RFID_NO>I002</RFID_NO>
</item>
- <item>
<FLOC>f1-01-03</FLOC>
<RFID_NO>I003</RFID_NO>
</item>
- <item>
<FLOC>f1-01-04</FLOC>
<RFID_NO>I004</RFID_NO>
</item>
- <item>
<FLOC>f1-01-05</FLOC>
<RFID_NO>I005</RFID_NO>
</item>
- <item>
<FLOC>f1-01-06</FLOC>
<RFID_NO>I001</RFID_NO>
</item>
</RECORDS>
</ns:ZRFID_EQUIP>
At r/3 side the field floc and rfid_no gets mapped to floc which is of char30
eg floc=f1-01-01I006
   rfid_no=

Message Mapping Problem with UTF-16LE Encoded XML

Hello,
we have the following scenario:
IDoc > BPM > HTTP Sync Call > BPM > IDoc
Resonse message of the HTTP call is a XML file with UTF-16LE processing instruction. This response should then be mapped to a SYSTAT IDoc. However the message mapping fails "...XML Parser: No data allowed here ...".
So obviously the XML is not considered as well-formed.
When taking a look at SXMB_MONI the following message appears: "Switch from current encoding to specific encoding not supported.....".
Strange thing however is if I save the response file as XML and use the same XML file in the test tab message mapping is executed successfully.
I also tried to use a Java Mapping to switch encodings before executing message mapping, but the error remains.
Could the problem be, that the codepage UTF-16LE is not installed on the PI system ? Any idea on that ?
Thank you!

Hi,
thank your for your answer.
This is what I have tried to achieve. I apply the java conversion mapping when receiving the response message - i tried to convert the response to UTF-16, UTF-8 but none of them has helped to solve the problem.
I guess that using adapter modules is not an option either as it would modify the request message, but not the response, right?

MESSAGE MAPPING PROBLEM PLS HELP

hi forum i have a problem in message mapping...
i have a file to file scenario...with a BPM..
the components are:
1. one outbound async MI:->   MI_OA_fileSender
2. one abstract async MI:->   MI_AA_fileSender
the above two has messsage structure as:
<ns0:MT_sourceFile xmlns:ns0="http://zpoc.com.test/rana3">
   <recordset> 1...1
      <record> 1..unbound
         <batch_num/> 1..1
         <quantity/> 1..1
      </record>
   </recordset>
</ns0:MT_sourceFile>
3. one abstract async MI: -> MI_AA_fileDestination
4. one inbound async MI:-> MI_IA_fileDestination..
the above two has messsage structure as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_destinationFile xmlns:ns0="http://zpoc.com.test/rana3">
   <recordset> 1..1
      <record> 1..unbound
         <rec_number/> 1...1
         <qty/> 1...1
      </record>
   </recordset>
</ns0:MT_rana3_destinationFile>
inside the BPM i m doing a simple one to one interface mapping between MI_AA_fileSender and MI_AA_fileDestination AND then use a send step to send it to receiver service. But inside the graphical editor, for the message maaping in the interface mapping, i change the target structure a bit by duplicating <rec_number> making it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_destinationFile xmlns:ns0="http://zpoc.com.test/rana3">
   <recordset> 1..1
      <record> 1.. unbound
         <rec_number/> 0..1
         <rec_number/> 0..1 //did right click   and "duplicate sub-tree, so it becomes 0...0"
         <qty/>
      </record>
   </recordset>
</ns0:MT_destinationFile>
But i dont change the original structure of MT_destinationFile.
Now in the resultant file in the receiver side i recive two <rec_number> tags....
but since i didnt change the original structure of MT_destinationFile.....but i only made a change in the mapping by duplicating the node <rec
_number>(right click and done "duplicate sub tree").............SHOULD IT NOT THROW AN ERROR

>.............SHOULD IT NOT THROW AN ERROR
Not necessarily.
See, XI won't realize, by default, a schema validation in your messages. If you want a validation, you'll have to implement one, as described in
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/c4/e1343e8c7f6329e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
However, for some particular steps in BPM, I have observed that an invalid XML will some times result in a error in BPM execution. In particular, if you have switch steps, container operation steps and/or correlations where you use a particular field of that message, it may throw some exception when you have an invalid xml. Also, I have observed some errors with conditional receiver determination for invalid messages.
As a best practice, if you have any kind of dependency on a particular message inside your system (like switches, container operations, correlations, condition in receiver or interface determination etc), it is a good idea to implement a schema validation.
Also, if you do want to create a thrustable scenario, you might want to perform schema validation for all your output messages.

Henrique.

Message Mapping, filling field with 0 (zeros) on left

I need to fill a field with values that has variable lenght adding 0 (zeros) on the left, how can I do it ?
I'm using the LENGHT in message mapping, with value returned by LENGHT I use FIXVALUES to map the quantity of 0 (zeros) that I need to add in the field.
Somebody can help me with this problem ?
Thank's.

Hi Regis,
You can use the Arithmetic:FormatNum built-in function for this.
If you want to left-pad the number with zeros so that the length is always 10, then specify 10 zeros for the format, 0000000000.
This function takes formats based on java.text.DecimalFormat so you can see all of the possibilities at:
java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/DecimalFormat.html

Jesse

Message mapping problem / experts needed / UDF?

Hello experts,
I have the following problem in a message mapping:
Source structure is as follows:
- Node a (min 1, max 999)
- Subnode b (min 0, max 999)
- Each Subnode b has the element "number" (1,1)
This structure must be mapped to the following target structure:
- Node c (1,999)
   - Subnode d (0,999)
   - Each subnode d has the following elements:
       - e1
       - e2
       - e3
       - e11
1 Source node a should create 1 target node c.
All numbers in all subnodes b of one source node a should be mapped to the e1, e2,...e11 elements of the target structure. As one target node d can only contain up to eleven numbers, there must be several d nodes.
I have already tried to create a UDF, but it does not work.
Any experts who would like to share their knowledge?
Thanks in advance.

Hello again,
meanwhile I have worked hard on it and I have found the solution (just one UDF (queue function) which gets the article numbers as well as constant(targetField). So the UDF covers the creation of the "groups" as well as the mapping of the article numbers.
It was really interesting and it made me ambitious to find the solution myself I do not have access to the system today, but I will post my solution as far as I have access again. Maybe you still want to search for a solution? It really may be fun, just like some kind of a puzzle game.
In order to make it more clear, here comes the source and target structure with an example. Let me once more explain it: In the source, there are positions, each with unlimited article numbers. Each position will create a targetPosition. The node "targetPosition" has the subNode "articlenrs" (unbounded). Articlenrs has 11 differnet elements, calles a1, a2, a3, ..., a11. That means, all article numbers from a source postion should be mapped to "groups of 11 target article numbers". Please be aware the there are 11 differnet target fields for article numbers: a1, a2, ... a11.
I think that' why the solution of Liang Ji and Rohit Kalugade will not work...
SOURCE
<position>
     <articlenr> 123   </articlenr>
     <articlenr> 456   </articlenr>
     <articlenr> 4783 </articlenr>
     <articlenr> 123   </articlenr>
     <articlenr> 456   </articlenr>
     <articlenr> 4783 </articlenr>
     <articlenr> 123   </articlenr>
     <articlenr> 456   </articlenr>
     <articlenr> 4783 </articlenr>

     <articlenr> 496   </articlenr>
     <articlenr> 4783 </articlenr>
         . (unbounded)

Message mapping problem when testing

Hi guys,
I'm having a tiny little problem with a message mapping.
When I'm testing a message mapping I'm getting the following error:
12:28:35 Start of test
Cannot produce target element /ns1:MT_Encomenda/Num_doc. Check xml instance is valid for source xsd and target-field mapping fulfills requirements of target xsd
12:28:36 End of test
I'm importing a xml file for testing, but if I fill in the files at hand using the xml instance i get no problems.
Any ideas?

hi,
make sure the target field /ns1:MT_Encomenda/Num_doc is getting populated from the source message.
you would see this error if a required field in the target structure is not populated.
cheers,
naveen

Request Message Mapping Problem

Hello friends,
I am working in XI 2.0 and
my senario is sap R/3->XI->File Adapter
I take an idoc from the SAP R/3 system. and that comes properly to XI. I already created Data type, Message Type,
Interface Type, Message Mapping and Interface Mapping in Desing. and all the configuration part.
but when i send an idoc to XI system and check in SXMB_MONI at that time it shows me a green flag. means Inbound is Proper but It does not execute further steps.
like Request Message Mapping, Call Adapter, Response.
Can any one help me to solve this situation..
Thanks in Advance.

hi Shankar,
I am able to solve the previous problem. by restarting my m/c.
Now if any one know that how to configure RFC adapter.
it always give me error like.
<b>Attempt to start RFC adapter failed: com/sap/mw/jco/JCO$Record</b>
And this is due to I am not able to connect to other R/3 system.
In SM59 transaction
<b>AI_RFCADAPTER_JCOSERVER</b> - TCP/IP connection
when i register my program id to <b>Xmb2RfcService</b>
then it gives me error when i am testing my connection.
<b>program Xmb2RfcService not registered / CPI-C error CM_ALLOCATE_FAILURE_RETRY</b>.
so, can any one help me out to solve this problem.
how to register Service in XI.

Hi,
You can directly use CDATA in message mapping and can solve this.
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/01/xi-xml-node-into-a-string-with-graphical-mapping
Else you can use xsl mapping as mentioned in this thread:
Re: CDATA in xml file
You can also try java mapping as mentioned here:
XML inside a field in XI
If you can give complete source payload, source message type and target message type then somebody here can help you out.

Message Mapping Problem

HI I am calling a Java Mapping Prog from My message Mapping . I get A strange Message when i pass special characters like '?' or '*' through my message mapping to the java mapping .
The Message is <b>"For input string : ???". </b> when i pass ??? as a parameter to the java mapping. I am bit confused. Is This message a standard message that XI gives or is it getting generated from somewhere else.
regards
Nilesh .

Hi Nilesh ,
Test the java mapping program using a seperate main class in some editor ( eg. Eclipse or NWDS) ,
Try to debug the program and u will get to know the cause , as to whr the message is getting generated ,

Message-Mapping Problem with empty queue while testing

Hello,
I want to develope an mapping to an BMEcat-structure. This mapping should be an filter.
My problem is, that everytime I want to check, if my mapping works correct, the queues for the proccessing steps keeps empty.
I filled a test case with all data I needed for the step I want to test (not the whole mapping is ready, but for this step, it is). Now I go to my mapping step an check the queue for the parameters and the queue comes up and displays the correct values. In next step I want to display the queue of an "equalsS"-Step, but this queue keeps empty as all following queues too. Sometimes there is coming up an empty "Processing log"-window.
The problem only comes up, if the target-message is a BMEcat-Structure.
Have you any solution for this behaviour? Or do you need more informations?

thank you for your tip, but the main problem is still existing. As you can see in the next screenshots, I build in your code and I'm sure it normally works fine. Also I filled the "have to"-Fields in the strukture, so that the check-function (F7) delivers an all right.
But still I get no queue results.

Problem about mapping 1 column with different tables..

Hi,
I have 3 Tables (I will give examples not exact tables but same structure and logic)
Cars :
   ID ( Car ID)
   Name
Planes :
   ID ( Plane ID)
   Name
Processes :
   ID ( Process ID )
   Type
   VehicleID {code}*Sample Processes Table Data*
{code:java}ID     Type      VehicleID
1          1               1
2          1               2
3          2               1
3          2               2{code}
When type is *1*, This is *Car* and means that *VehicleID* maps to *Cars Table*,
When type is *2*, This is *Plane* and means that *VehicleID* maps to *Planes Table*.
And So On 3, 4, 5, 6 .. for Additional tables.
How can i map something like that? I can not merge these tables, they all must be separated..
I used to handle this by writing native SQL with some functions, however with JPA i could not figure it out..
Thanks again
Regards.

I do not know an easy way to do this in pure JPA. EclipseLink though is able to do this using a variable one to one mapping:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Introduction_to_Relational_Mappings_%28ELUG%29#Variable_One-to-One_Mapping
This can be set using a customizer or JPA like annotations:
@VariableOneToOne(
targetInterface=Vehicle.class,
cascade=PERSIST,
fetch=LAZY,
discriminatorColumn=@DiscriminatorColumn(name="TYPE", discriminatorType=INTEGER),
discriminatorClasses={
@DiscriminatorClass(discriminator="1", value=Cars.class),
@DiscriminatorClass(discriminator="2", value=Planes.class)
Best Regards,
Chris
