RFC:Complex structure

Question

Dear experts,
In my PI box,i used one RFC SXMB_GET_MESSAGES.I provided input to the table parameter with over 155 values.
My attempt was to retrieve from output table parameter which is a deep structure
If i drill EX_MSG_CONTENT , i get table MSG_VERS_T as one of table output and on further drilling this i get PROP again of type table line.
<table>EX_MSG_CONTENT_LIST -> <table> MSG_VERS_T ->  <table> PROP
Ultimately i fetched two fields from table PROP.Only issue is that if i am providing 155 input values i get 36 output values only.
Further incase i put 222 input values then output values get affected in same ration ex 56 output values and so on..
What should  i conclude.IS this because RFC (Remote Enabled) doesnot support complex nested structures and i should give up this assignment or may be i need to put something in addition. ?.For those of you familiar with java i am trying something like this
_ob_c.function.execute(ob_c.destination);    //Problematic as it return less number of rows_
call function statement:
ArrayList<PayLoadType> payloads  = new ArrayList<PayLoadType>(fetchmessagepayloads(tableresout)); 
//Works well as content fetched is actually equal to number of records fetched above.
public ArrayList<PayLoadType> fetchmessagepayloads (JCoTable tableobj)
int count = 0;
ArrayList<PayLoadType> oba = new ArrayList<PayLoadType> ();
while (count < tableobj.getNumRows()) {
PayLoadType obj = new PayLoadType();
JCoTable subtab1  = tableobj.getTable("MSG_VERS_T");
count = count + 1;
int rec = subtab1.getNumRows();
int numrecs = 0;
while ( numrecs < rec )
subtab1.nextRow();
numrecs = numrecs + 1;
JCoTable subtab2  = subtab1.getTable("TPROP");
numrecs = 0;
rec = subtab2.getNumRows();
while (numrecs < rec )
numrecs = numrecs + 1;
if (subtab2.getString("LCNAME").trim().equals("Main")) {
obj.msgid = subtab2.getString("MSGGUID");
obj.payload = subtab2.getString("CONTENT");
oba.add(obj);
subtab2.nextRow();
tableobj.nextRow();
return oba;

Answer 1

Hi,
The problem is basically in message mapping from file to RFC external message.
The option 2 is working now and I get correct converted file strcuture after FCC and into RFC and also a correct RFC payload.
However, business is stressing that can send the file in the format as given in Option 1 where u have different structure - Header and Items. This is not coming out correct in RFC payload as the header has 5 fields as compared to more in item but the header and item are still being mapped to the flat RFC structure and this is creating a mismatch. The item line is missing the 5 fields from Header.
How do i do the FCC in this situation to get the correct structure in RFC?
This means that in RFC payload, the first line should be the one as below-
H,100890,P100,A02,S101,AUD#
The 2 records after this as received in RFC internal table should be as 2 given below-
I,P,NULL,TH,Test PO TH,1,EA,100,10160000,A002,0001,720090,E.1.4.3,,,,VT#
I,P,NULL,TH,Test PO TH1 2,2,EA,100,10160000,A002,0001,720090,E.1.4.3,,,,VT#
However, the 2 structures contain variable field columns.
Please help.
