ABAP Mapping and Message Mapping

Hello
I want to do the followig mapping
File - > IDOC
field1 ->field_idoc1
field2 ->field_idoc2
field3 ->field_idoc3
field4 -> (based on an dictionary table in the R/3)
For the first 3 fields I will use message-mapping.
For field4 I heard about ABAP Mapping. Select with the value of field4 in an ABAP Table and response the new value to the mapping back.
Would both mappings in one Interface-Mapping work?
Regards
Christoph

Christoph, There was an article previously available in articles section, now i dont find the link.
I have given a sample code below. You can find lot of sample JCO code provided along with the JCO library that can be downloaded from service.sap.com.
JCO.Repository mRepository;
JCO.Client mConnection = JCO.createClient(
               sapClient,
               userName,
               password,
               language,
               hostName,
               systemNumber );
// connect to SAP
mConnection.connect();
// create repository
mRepository = new JCO.Repository( "sample", mConnection );
// Create function
JCO.Function function = null;
IFunctionTemplate ft = mRepository.getFunctionTemplate("Z_TEST");
function = ft.getFunction();
// Obtain parameter list for function
JCO.ParameterList input = function.getImportParameterList();
// Pass function parameters
input.setValue( param1_value , "P_PARM1");
input.setValue( param2_value , "P_PARM2");
JCO.ParameterList tabInput = function.getTableParameterList();
JCO.Table inputTable = tabInput.getTable("T_PARM3");
inputTable.appendRow();
inputTable.setValue("test" , "IDOC");
mConnection.execute( function );
String ret = function.getExportParameterList().getString( "P_GEN_NUM" );
mConnection.disconnect();
return ret ;

Hi !!
refer the below links
BAP Mapping is used whenever you explicitly need to build your output XML structure . Its entirely depends on your call which approach you want to adopt i.e. JAVA mapping or ABAP mapping as in both the cases you need to explicitly build the output structure . ABAP Mapping however creates a DOM tree in the memory . Therefore it can be a performance issue whenever your source structure is complex . In case you need an idea of how to go about ABAP mapping here is a link which you can refer
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/47/b5413acdb62f70e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Also ABAP mappings have the handicap that they are separated from usual development in Repository. Additional there is more (ABAP, DOM) experience required as for example for XSLT or graphical mapping (my point of view). So they are used for special reasons like access to ABAP stack (transparent tables!).
Refer to following SDN Demo which explains the need and how to do the ABAP mapping.

ABAP mapping constraints/restrictions ?

what are the ABAP mapping constraints/restrictions? Please answer its urgent.

vinod ,
constrains are basically
1) ABAP mapping are very complex....
2)generally ppl go for ABAP mapping when its not possible to do the mapping dwith graphical,java or XSLT.
3) there is no ABAP mapping editor in XI
4) u have to import the ABAP mapping in IR..then u can use it in Interface mapping.

Hai all,
Very good evening to all,
I Myself completed PG in Geology and Bsc In geology, I wanto to learn SAP ABAP . So, Plz give me the suggestions and the hw would be the getting job in the market with my qualifications,
Plzz help me for my future.
Thank you all.
Bye

Hi ,
You can learn ABAP from the Good Institute. Before that make a survey whether Companies are interested employing as a fresher for ABAP with qualification like yours. Some Companies perfer Engineering gradutes (not all ). If you are good at work then your qualification should not matter.
Good luck.

Send me link to learn about LSMW - Direct input

hi
Pls send me link to learn about LSMW - Direct input

Hi,
See below links

Steps to create
Create project, Subproject, Object (freely definable, for the purpose of
identification) Use create icon in the menu. For example
Project FI Finance
Subproject GL GL MASTER
Object GL GL Master
2. Continue F8, Now you will see series of steps. Select the step and execute
it (Ctrl-F8). In each steps, we will do some activity and save it. Then
system prompts for the next activity.
3. Maintain object attributes. By default the screen in display mode, Click
on pencil button to get into change mode. (This is applicable to upto the
activity assign files). In this screen select Batch input recording and
in Recording give name (freely definable) sal GL01 and click on Overview.
In this screen button (Recordings overview). Now click on create button for
recording. Give name and description, Now it will ask for the transaction
code, enter the transaction code and enter the data, the way you want fill in
the SAP screens/fields with legacy data. Then save the transaction. Now save
again to save the recording. After that you select the button default all,
then save it. And come back, now the cursor is on next activity.
4. Maintain source structures. Here create the structure by specifying name
(freely definable).
5. Maintain source fields. In this screen, click on copy fields (Ctrl+F8),
here select From data file(field names in 1st line). Now the system asks
for the file, select your text file, the system will copy the fiedls from
text file (tab delimited file. It contains field names in the first row).
Save it.
6. Maintain structure relations. Generally, we need not do anything here.
7. Maintain field mapping and conversation rules. Here put the cursor on the
field and click on source field, now you can see the list of field available,
from which select one which is equal to the field on which you out the
cursor. You can also write coding (ABAP Code) on any field for the purpose of
validation of data. Save it.
8. Maintain fixed values, translations, user-defined routines. Here also you
can maintain values, if required.
9. Specify files. In this screen, place the cursor on Legacy data, then click
on create button. The system asks for the file name, (the text file, in which
the legacy data is there), enter the file name, description and select Data
for one source structure (table), delimiter as Tabulator, file structure
as Field names at the beginning of the file.
10. Assign files. The file name you specified in earlier step comes
automatically here, If the file name does not come, then click
on assignment button and assign the file.
11. Read data. Here specify the transaction number (the number not less
than the number of rows in the text file). Execute it.
12. Display read data. Here, you can see the values, how the system read the
data.
13. Convert data. Here specify the transaction number (the number not less
than the number of rows in the text file). Execute it.
14. Display converted data. Here, you can see the values, how the system
converted the data, after interpreting conversion rules specified in the
earlier steps. This is the data that is actually goes into SAP, once the
Batch Input session is run.
15. Create batch input session. Specify the batch input session name for
identification and also select the keep session.
16. Run Batch Input Session. Select the batch input and click Process, from
there select foreground or background. Now the program runs and update
the data in to SAP. You can analyze the batch input for the successful
postings, errors.

Omkar.

I want to learn about workflow any one can provide the guidence for me

i want to learn about workflow any one can provide the guidance for me

SAP Business Workflow can be used to define business processes that are not yet mapped in the R/3 System. These may be simple release or approval procedures, or more complex business processes such as creating a material master and the associated coordination of the departments involved. SAP Business Workflow is particularly suitable for situations in which work processes have to be run through repeatedly, or situations in which the business process requires the involvement of a large number of agents in a specific sequence.
Features
SAP Business Workflow provides a number of tools for defining and analyzing workflows as well as for monitoring operation.
The Workflow Builder is for displaying and making changes to workflows. You can make small extensions directly to the original workflows supplied by SAP, such as carrying out your own agent assignments or changing deadline monitoring.
There are several Workflow Wizards to support you in the definition of workflows, with which you can create specific parts of a workflow. The Workflow Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of the existing Workflow Wizards.
In order to make the functions of the R/3 Systems available to a workflow, you use business objects, which you can define and analyze in the Business Object Builder. These business objects are made available to the workflow in reusable tasks. The Business Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of all existing tasks.
You can also use SAP Business Workflow to respond to errors and exceptions in other, existing business processes. You can start a workflow when predefined events occur, for example an event can be triggered if particular errors are found during an automatic check.

Graphical Mapping Vs XSLT mapping Vs Java Mapping Vs ABAP Mapping

Hi Experts,
I have a question regarding different message mapping options available in XI namely
Graphical Mapping
XSLT mapping
Java Mapping
ABAP Mapping
Q1: Which amoung the above mappings is the best and why?
Q2: On what cases Graphical, XSLT, Java and ABAP Mapping should be used?
Q3: Is it true that graphical and XSLT mappings are converted into Java class internally?
Kindly help!
Thanks
Gopal

Hi,
There is no hard and fast rule for using the mapping techniques.
Graphical Mapping is used for simple mapping cases. When, the logic for your mapping is simple and straight forward and it does not involve mult hiearchical mapping requirement. and context handling.
Java and XSLT mapping are used when graphical mapping cannot help you.
When the choice is between Java And XSLT, XSLT is simpler than java mapping and easier. But, it has its drawbacks. XSLT can lead to a bad perfrormance if the Source XML is huge.
Java Mapping uses 2 types of parsers. DOM and SAX. DOM is easier to use with lots of classes to help you create nodes and elements, but , DOM is very processor intensive.
SAX parser is something that parses your XML one after the other, and so is not processor intensive. But, it is not exaclty easy to develop either.
For further info on each of the mapping, refer to these links,

Am not sure about XSLT , but , yes graphical mapping is converted into java classes internally and these classes use SAX parsing as well.

Error in ABAP Mapping (type SAP-ABAP, kernel error ID UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION)

Hi ,
Scenario: Manually Purchase Order is created, automatically Sales Order should be created in the Target System through PI,
                   I have used Message Mapping which is working fine for single Customer and Vendor,
                   For Multiple Customers and Vendors i am using one ZTABLE, Only Message Mapping is not sufficient to my requirement.
                  Now i am using both Message Mapping and   ABAP Mapping at a time in Interface Mapping. I created the class and                done the   development., whene i run the scenario i am getting the error as below,
*<SAP:Stack>Error in mapping program ZCL_SD_IDTO_POSO (type SAP-ABAP, kernel error ID UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION) An exception with the type CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL occurred, but was neither handled locally, nor declared in a RAISING clause Dereferencing of the NULL reference</SAP:Stack>*

Enqueue lock object in abap mapping

Hi,
In a idoc to file scenario, i need to garantee a unique target filename for message.
I have a ZXI_I2155 table to mantain a counter by some key fields (cliente, anyo, mes)
So, in an abap mapping I have:
   CALL FUNCTION 'ENQUEUE_EZXI_I2155'
      EXPORTING
        MODE_ZXI_I2155 = 'E'
        MANDT          = SY-MANDT
        keycli         = d_cliente
        anyo           = d_anyo
        mes            = d_mes
        _WAIT          = 'X '
      EXCEPTIONS
        FOREIGN_LOCK   = 1
        SYSTEM_FAILURE = 2
        OTHERS         = 3.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
      select single * from ZXI_I2155 into wa_registro
                      where keycli = d_cliente and anyo = d_anyo and mes = d_mes.
          add 1 to wa_registro-contador.
        modify ZXI_I2155 from wa_registro.
      endif.
      CALL FUNCTION 'DEQUEUE_EZXI_I2155'
        EXPORTING
          MODE_ZXI_I2155 = 'E'
          MANDT          = SY-MANDT
          keycli         = d_cliente
          anyo           = d_anyo
          mes            = d_mes.
    endif.
concatenate 'ART' d_cliente d_mes wa_registro-contador '.XML' into d_fichero.
l_record-namespace = 'http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File'.
l_record-name = 'FileName'.
l_record-value = d_fichero.
dynamic_configuration->add_record( l_record ).
With a normal situation, this scenario works well, but with a great volume of messages, some duplicate filename appears.
Why?
Thanks, in advance
Carme

Try increasing the "enque/table_size" parameter to allow more IDOCs to be handled/locked at the same time. You can increase the value for this parameter up to 102400 (beyond that can cause performance issues).
Please refer to the notes below for more information about the lock queue overflow and management.

When we wil go for abap mapping ??

Hi,
As we know there are graphical, XSLT, JAVA mappings are there apart from ABAP mapping. I have gone through below weblog.
/people/udo.martens/blog/2006/08/23/comparing-performance-of-mapping-programs
and also help.

None of them says ABAP mapping is either faster or stable as compared to other mappings. Even though it is the case, still when we will go for abap mapping ??
Is it like that it is totally depend on the available resources in hand ??
thanks

About your statement.
If you consider the field mapping (or UDF) runtime, then you are correct. But if you consider the whole mapping runtime, you also have to "load" the full message in message mapping, obviously. What happens is that it is transparent to the developer, since loading and parsing is done by standard. But message mapping also deals with loading and parsing the whole message (and it is done with Java underneath). Then I don't think message mapping will have a significantly better/worse performance, when compared with Java mappings (performing normal xml processing methods).
As for XSLT, the performance problems happens because you have a XSLT processor running over Java VM. Then, if you have heavy load on it, the mapping runtime will consume the resources necessary to run the xslt processor (which is, by itself, very resource consuming) and also to treat that heavy input.
