Regarding Limitations in Value mapping

Hi All,
I Want to Know the Limitations in Value Mapping.
Please Let me Know .
Regards
Vamsi

Hello Vamsi
Limitations.
1. It can be a ongoing process.
for example
suppose application1 represents tax code 1 as TX1 and application2 represents tax code 1 as TAX1 and we had used value mapping in this case.
This can be a ongoing process suppose if you need to add new tax code or change the tax code.
2.suppose you have a huge number of value mapping shifting from quality to production is a pain. (i am not sure about other easy method)
3.Identification of fields for value mapping in big implementation is also difficult.
4.It consumes certain time

XSLT call Value Mapping

Hi Folks,
please, i need a step by step Solution for calling Value Mapping with XSLT Mapping Program.
best regards Michael

XSLT call Value Mapping
Maintain the value mapping using the option available in the Integration directory. The following values should be entered for maintaining the value mapping. In the XSLT Mapping use the Java function Valuemappingaccessor to read the values from the table.
Class ValueMappingAccessor
          This class is used read the Value mapping stored in the Integration server (Java Cache). Class has a method getValueMapping. The Class is imported into the SWC Eyyy_xxxx under namespace http://xxx.ash.com/COMMON/Common
Method public static String getValueMapping(String srcContext, String dstContext, String srcAgency, String srcSchema, String dstAgency, String dstSchema, String key, Map inputParam, String throwException)
Paramters     Description
srcContext     Source context in the Integration server (Java Cache) under which, the value is stored.
For example, if the source values are stored using standard Value mapping table in the ID, then use source context as http://sap.com/xi/XI
dstContext     Destination context in the Integration server (Java Cache) under which the value is stored
For example, if the source values are stored using standard Value mapping table in the ID, then Target context as http://sap.com/xi/XI
srcAgency     Source Agency, a unique identifying value, value to be used is not yet decided.
srcSchema     Source Schema, For example this can be source field name
key     Source field value, that is required to determine the target, In the figure 1 shown below, We need to send IN to get India
dstAgency     Destination Agency, a unique identifying value, value to be used is not yet decided
dstSchema     Destination Schema, For example this can be target field name
inputParam     Mapping transformation constants, to write the trace into the header of the message
throwException     An indicator to throw an exception, if the value is not found in the cache. If the parameter is set to true or TRUE,   an exception is raised & message fails in the mapping step of the Pipe line.
Returns the value, that is stored in the Value mapping context for the given parameters
If the value mapping is maintained using Integration Directory value mapping, then we need to call the value mapping function as follows
If it has to be called using XSLT Mapping., then the sample code shows how to use the java class the java class ValueMappingAccessor.

What are "value mapping tables"..

hi friends,
I am not getting the clear idea of value mapping tables and how it refers in cache monitoring....pls help me out...
with regards,
Santosh.

Hi,
Value Mapping
A perticular object/field could have different interprtations from applications to applications and Business to Business. For e.g Suppose a particular document XYZ has an identity code 001 in one application or may be in one orgnization. But the same document could have different ID in different applications.
With the help of Value Mapping you could map these IDs with each other, thus while transaction of the data XI will act as an smart mapper to pass the Application specific values.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/13/ba20dd7beb14438bc7b04b5b6ca300/frameset.htm

Regarding Value Mapping

Hi,
Iam doing a scenario which deals with value mapping,and there are duplicate values in destination for different sources.I have created a Group for all repeating values in destination,and i have used that name to map for different sources.But my scenario is not working as desired.What do i do?

Hi
You may not be using value mapping for its intended purpose. It should be used to map between different ID schemes for the same entities, such as companies, persons etc. An ID for such an entity must always be unique, or it would be of no good use. And then you cannot have duplicate target values, because you would then get an ambiguity if you were to map in the other direction.
But sometimes you really need value mappings just in order to make something configurable rather than hard coded into a message mapping. This is when you run into this sort of problem. For example:
Jim -> Manager
Bob -> Employee
Sue -> Employee
The job title is NOT an ID, and certainly not unique. As you can see you cannot map backwards from "Employee" to a unique target value.
I think you might be better off using the mapping lookup API. If you don't want to go this way, you could of course do a hack, such as
Jim -> Manager_1
Bob -> Employee_1
Sue -> Employee_2
and then afterwards remove the underscore + suffix.

Regarding Exception handling for Value mapping

Hi
We have a requirement for resending the message (using SXMB_MONI)for Value mapping and other message mapping related errors . Is there any others way we could achieve this , Any help on this is appreciated ?
Thanks in advance,
Jishi

Hi Jishi,
I don't think that SXMB_MONI is the solution.
If you have a mapping error this can belong to two things:
a) either your mapping is wrong
b) or your message is wrong.
In case a) you have to correct your mapping
In b) The sending system must look what happend.
In my opinion in both cases (a & b) the process must be restartet from the source system. That's the way we do it.
Additionally we send a information message in the exception branch to the sending system

Value mapping in ABAP Versus ID

Hi Gurus,
As Value mapping can be done using ABAP mapping and Also in Integration Directory...
Can Any one tell me what is the exact difference Between these.....
Regards,
Sainath chutke

hi,
in my opinion there is hudge difference between using
standard value mapping and mapping in abap mapping
- standard value mapping is very strick and does not allow
to have many to one mappings (which is very often the case)
- standard value mappings offers a limited sets of actions you can perform
to update the data (value mapping replication) which
is not always convinient to use
I try not to use value mappings as much as I can
as there are many other ways (like abap mappings) to do
simple, nice and easy to maintain value mappings

Reg: Value Mapping - Recommended Max Entries/Size

Hi,
Just curious to know if there is any recommendation on the max number of entries stored and retrieved in a Value Maps.
Is it suitable for storing entries in order of 5000 or 10000. Also is it effecient for retrieval from such a big Map.
Since it is stored in Java Cache, is there any limitation on the size (Number of Entries).
Anticipating your valuable inputs.
Thanks,
Sudharshan N A

Hi
There will be performance problem if more entries are used in Value mapping.
Value mapping replication will be better choice for huge records.

Import conversion data table from SAP R/3 into value mapping table in XI

Hi:
    Somebody knows how to import a table with conversion data that are in SAP R/3 and to take it to a value mapping table in XI?
    The purpose is to use a mapping table that can change in the future. Must I use a ABAP programming that retrieve data and build the value mapping table?
    If so, how I specify in the ABAP programming the group id, the scheme, the agency and the corresponding value?
    Please, help me.
    Regards!!!

Hi David,
please refer to this section in the help: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2a/9d2891cc976549a9ad9f81e9b8db25/content.htm
There is an interface for mass replication of mapping data. The steps you need to carry out to use this are:
+Activities
To implement a value-mapping replication scenario, proceed as follows:
       1.      Register the Java (inbound) proxies.
To do so, call the following URLs in the following order in your Internet browser:
¡        http://:/ProxyServer/register?ns=http://sap.com/xi/XI/System&interface=ValueMappingReplication&bean=localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.xi.services/ValueMappingApplication&method=valueMappingReplication (for the asynchronous replication scenario)
¡ http://:/ProxyServer/register?ns=http://sap.com/xi/XI/System&interface=ValueMappingReplicationSynchronous&bean=localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.xi.services/ValueMappingApplicationSynchronous&method=valueMappingReplicationSynchronous (for the synchronous replication scenario)
You only need to perform this step once (for each installation).
       2.      Application programming
The ABAP program must perform the following tasks:
¡        Read the value mapping data from the external table
¡        Call the outbound proxy used to transfer the data to a message, which is then sent to the Integration Server
       3.      Configuration of the replication scenario in the Integration Directory
This involves creating all the configuration objects you need to execute the scenario successfully. One special aspect of the value-mapping replication scenario is that the receiver is predefined (it must be on the Integration Server). The sender, however, is not predefined in the replication scenario and can be defined to meet your individual requirements.
For example, you can use the shipped ABAP proxies.
In the case of the receiver communication channel, choose the adapter type XI. Ensure that you configure a channel for the Java proxy receiver in this case.
Enter the path prefix /MessagingSystem/receive/JPR/XI for this purpose.

Partial match for Value Mapping in Import Manager

Hello Experts,
We have a import map which is used to do mass insert of data into the main table. This is done as & when required by the end user.
We have a qualified lookup field which has a flat lookup filed as the Non-Qualifier. This flat lookup field is refering to a Lookup Flat table, which has mulitple dispay fields like Code,Name, Status etc. (14 fields in total) where as only the Code is the unique field.
We have only the unique field in our source file which we use for the import. Since we have only a part of the display fields in the source, the automap functionality in the Value maping section doesn't work. It becomes very tedious for the user to manually map all the values for this field.
Is there any way by which we can convert the source or target values in the import map, so that we can map the values using the Automap feature?
Your help & suggestion for alternate approach is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Uday
P.S. We are using SAP MDM 5.5 SP6.

Hi Uday,
No need to enable remote key mapping for QLT. Please execute the below steps(stated with an example) -
1. Among all the fields in the referenced lookup table, identify the lookup fields and the tables they are looking up .
For eg.If you have a lookup field as 'Country' as one of the fields, look up table will be 'Countries'
2.For the identified lookup tables, set 'key mapping =Yes' in Console.
For eg, For Country Lookup table ,set Key mapping to 'Yes'
3.Import values into Lookup table (Import manager)/ Remote key update -
In import manager, select source (local file) and destination as Countries flat table.This Table will be haing 2fields - Code and description.Clone the 'Code'field and map it to Remote key field in destination hierarchy.Map code and description to equivalent destination fields. Select 'Code' as matching field > Perform import into lookup table.
Check if the records in countries table are updated with remote keys(in Data manager> right click on a record> select 'Edit key mappings' > view key mapping for the record)
3.Import to Qualified table/Auto value mapping -
Now, in the import map for qualified import , map the source field and destination field (of lookup type), all the values of this field will automatically map.
Similarly, refresh remote keys mappings for all the lookup tables first and then you can see auto mappings of values happening for the lookup fields.

Value mapping in xslt mapping

Hi,
I have 2 mapping program one is main .xsl program and other one is value mapping program .xsl .
I have zipped both the program and imported into Imported archive in IR but while testing in interface mapping i am getting error.
error:could not compile xslt stylsheet.
Some of the interface having one .xsl program and value mapping is also defined in the main program itself,these interface i am able to execute successfully but unable to execute wherever there are 2 program (main prog + value mapping).
It seems that value mapping is not loading / executing.
Can anyone please guide me how to call value mapping using xslt mapping?
Thanks,
Subbu

Hi Prateek,
Thanks for the response.
Yes i have 2 program and both needs to execute in one interface mapping.
First program (main) is MappingMOAPS_SAVEMULTIPLE2013.xsl and second program i.e (value mapping) MO_vmf.xsl.
From main program itself value mapping program is called.
Please look below code for main & value mapping prog.
In main prog this is the parameter (<xsl:import href="MO_vmf.xslt"/>) where value mapping prog name is mentioned.
I have already zipped and imported but while testing in interface mapping it is giving error that "could not compile xslt stylsheet".
Could you plaese tell how to check or make XSL to accommodate multiple mappings?

How can I come to know about the Agency and Schema to implement the Value Mapping?
Check the blog # 5479
From the blog:
Enter Value Mapping Properties such as Agency, Schema for Source and Target messages. Any arbitrary string value can be
used. But enter the Value Mapping Context as http://sap.com/xi/XI
I am not getting which Value Mapping should be done for my mapping requirement,but I thibk it should be for the fixed value,but dont know whether I need to implement the Valume Mapping replication or not?
If you give more details about your requirement then somebody may help you out on the approach.

N: 1 relationships in Value Mapping 3.0

Hi,
in our Value Mapping we need to process n:1 relationships between values. E.g. 2 different codes for reason-for-rejection in the sending system need to be mapped to 1 value in the receiving system.
As we see now, and this is also mentioned somewhere in this forum, this doesn't work. Is this correct?
As suggested in this forum one option would be to add the sending value in the receiving value and use mapping to trim the value. So e.g.
Agency: SystemX                    Agency: SystemY
Scheme: Augru                      Scheme: Augru
Value                              Value
A1                                 B
A2                                 B
would become
A1                                 A1_B
A2                                 A2_B
Of course, this would work, but just one-way (from SystemX to SystemY). From SystemY to SystemX this would not work, since only value B is available at that time. If you apply the same logic, so implement another value, this would eventually mean:
Agency: SystemX                    Agency: SystemY
Scheme: Augru                      Scheme: Augru
Value                              Value
A1                                 A1_B
A2                                 A2_B
C_A1                               C_B
D_A2                               D_B
So you end up with a lot of values to maintain.
Another option would be to use different Value Mapping scheme's, but this would influence the reusability of the mapping.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!

When you have an n:1 mapping and want to use this in both directions, you need a logic, how the values are determined, if you have several entries to choose.
In your example:
A1 -> B
A2 -> B
If you come from the other side, what value should B have?
For the default value you could use a unique prefix (eg: 1_) and add that prefix to the value before calling the value mapping.
Let us assume, you have maintained the table like this:
A1 -> 1_B
A2 -> 2_B
A3 -> 1_C
A4 -> 1_D
A5 -> 2_D
A6 -> 3_D
so you have B ->A1, C -> A3, D -> A4

Value Mapping in BPM

We are using Value Mapping in XI 3.0 in the integration builder under the configuration.
Value Mapping is not working during the transformation step in BPM. See help.sap.com under transformation step: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/80243b4a66ae0ce10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Does anybody have a solution for executing the value mapping in this case.

Dear Stefan,
What if you do want to use value mapping in a ccBPM? What values should be entered at:
Source Values For Agency?
and
Target Values For Agency?
