Types of Mapping

Hi Masters,
I have Small Dought..
We have 4 Type of Mappings,
Genera Message Mapping, JAVA Mapping, XSLP Mapping and ABAP Mapping...

My Dought is ...In which Scenarios we are using this all mappings....
Please give me Clear Idea...

SReddy

Hi,
I thought i will start of from scratch.Mapping is basically done to convert one form of xml into another form. This can be done using either of them mentioned below.
- Graphical mapping
- XSLT mapping
- JAVA mapping
- ABAP mapping
There is no hard and fast rule for using the mapping techniques. But, I will try to put things in the right perspective for you.
Graphical Mapping is used for simple mapping cases. When, the logic for your mapping is simple and straight forward and it does not involve any complex logic.
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. One among them being that you cannot use Java APIs and Classes in it. There might be cases in your mapping when you will have to perfrom something like a properties file look up or a DB lookup, such scenarios are not possible in XSLT and so, when you want to use some specific Java API's you will have to go for Java Mapping.
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.
To know more about each of them please go thru the following links. And if you ask me your which is better, it depends basically on the scenario you implementing and the complexity involved. Anyways please go thru the following links:

IPhone 6 Plus 16GB blue screen crashes: Read, error type:Address map hole or size mis-match

Hi folks,
Some time ago I had a 16GB 6+ and it crashed with the blue screen, so I returned it. I now have a brand new one that I got from Tmobile ($75 return fee) and although it has mostly worked just fine, I have gotten 2 blue screen crashes. Below are the details from the phone's log.
What strikes me is the message "Read, error type:Address map hole or size mis-match".
Does anyone know if this could be caused by a hardware defect?
I've gotten one of these crashes running iOS 8.1.2 and another in 8.1.3.
Thanks.

Quastion about type conversion mapping

What does the type convertion mapping serve for in jdeveloper 10g?
Cant find any meaningful examples.
I think it sould be used for escaping java coding if it is necessarily to change automatically generated data types...or to supply some specific format like to_char function in sql... But it seems that neither functionallity is supporteds
Thanks. Alex

There is some more current info here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Introduction_to_Mappings_(ELUG)#Type_Conversion_Converter
But this is for the TypeConversionConverter in EclipseLink, which is mostly the same (the TypeConversionMapping in 9.0.4 became the TypeConversionConverter in 10.1.3).
It is basically to handle converting from one type in Java such as Calendar to another type in the database, say DATE or even VARCHAR, etc. It can handle most obvious conversions. Many conversions will also work without a converter, or at least work most of the time depending on if the database auto converters types, but some databases are more picking on the type that is bound matching the field type.

ABAP mappings run on ABAP Stack and are developed in the ABAP workbench of the Integration Server.
You normally do not need to use the ABAP mappings and is preferable for someone with ABAP programming background. I should say JAVA functions would suffice any complex scenarios.

hi expects,
please provide some mapping technics.

Rohit,
It depends upon the requirements. So after going through your requirements you will decide which type of mapping you want to use. Subsequently you will develop the mapping.

SAXParser
Both DOM and SAX approaches have advantages and disadvantages, and your choice of technique must depend on the type of data being parsed, the requirements of your application, and the constraints under which you are operating.
The SAX approach is linear: It processes XML structures as it finds them, generating events and leaving the event handlers to decide what to do with each structure. The advantage of this approach is that it is resource-friendly; because SAX does not build a tree representation of the document in memory, it can parse XML data in chunks, processing large amounts of data with very little impact on memory. This also translates into better performance; if your document structure is simple, and the event handlers don't have anything too complicated to do, SAX-based applications will generally offer a speed advantage over DOM-based ones.
The downside, though, is an inability to move around the document in a non- linear manner. SAX does not maintain any internal record of the relationships between the different nodes of an XML document (as the DOM does), making it difficult to create customized node collections or to traverse the document in a non-sequential manner. The only way around this with SAX is to create your own custom object model, and map the document elements into your own custom structuresa process that adds to complexity and can possibly degrade performance.
Where SAX flounders, though, the DOM shines. The DOM creates a tree representation of the document in memory, making it possible to easily travel from one node to another, or even access the same node repeatedly (again, not something you can do easily in SAX). This tree representation is based on a standard, easy-to-understand model, making it easier to write code to interact with it.
This flexibility does, however, come with an important caveat. Because the DOM builds a tree in memory, DOM processing cannot begin until the document has been fully parsed (SAX, on the other hand, can begin parsing a document even if it's not all available immediately). This reduces a developer's ability to "manage" the parsing process by feeding data to the parser in chunks, and also implies greater memory consumption and consequent performance degradation.
Consequently, the choice of technique depends significantly on the type of constraints the application will be performing under, and the type of processing it will be expected to carry out. For systems with limited memory, SAX is a far more efficient approach. On the other hand, complex data-processing requirements can benefit from the standard object model and API of the DOM.
After using DOM to parse XML documents for any length of time, you will probably begin to notice that performance tends to suffer when youre dealing with large documents. This problem is endemic to DOM's tree-based structure: larger trees demand more memory, and DOM must load an entire document into memory before it can allow you to parse it. For situations where performance is problematic with DOM, you have an alternative in the Simple API for XML (SAX). In this fifth installment in our Remedial XML series, I'll introduce you to the SAX API, and provide some links to SAX implementations in several different languages.

Types of Mapping XI supports

Choose the true about types of mapping XI supports
a. Structure Mapping
b. Node mapping
c. Value Mapping
d. Functional Mapping
i guess it supports all of those mappings specified..
iam i right on this??

Guys -
I am a novice to XI. But, I guess as per my understanding this is what I think. Please advis me if you have better opinion that would justify this answer in certifrication.
XI by definition supports only the following 4 mappings types:
Message (Graphical), XSLT, JAVA & ABAP
However, first in Element cardinality addresses something called NODE MAPPING which describes as follows:
Mapping of Non Mandatory Nodes (minOccurs=0)
====================================
1. If a non mandatory node contains elements with minOccurs>0, these elements becomes mandatory after their parent node is assigned
2. Assignment of element is not sufficient
3. Node has to be 'created' by assigning a suitable source node/element
Therefore, as per this discription, I believe NODE mapping a valid for CERTIFICATION
Secondly, as per my understanding of message mapping, we map source and target STRUCTURES here. Does not this mean STRUCTURE MAPPING? Please confirm?
Thirdly, You experts all must have done Value Mappings in your projects and there is no need for me to describe more about it. Can not we consider this as a valid answer for CERTIFICATION?
Last but not least FUNCTIONAL MAPPING; I am not sure why this option is here? May be this is just to add confusion. On the otherside, it make sense if we consider including functions (both standard and user-defined) in our mapping. Does this make sense being a valid Mapping at all?
In other words, let me ask you all experts; Is this a direct or indirect question? If it is direct then we should turn down all the options. If indirect, may the first 3 are correct or all four.
Therefore, I rely on your guys for you input. Please provide your valuble analysis.
Thanks

@XmlAttribute/@XmlValue need to reference a Java type that maps to text

Hi,
I get this exception when marshalling with xjc (either 2.0.1 or 2.1.3) generated classes. The xsd looks like this:
<xs:complexType name="ExtensionType">
 <xs:simpleContent>
 <xs:extension base="xs:anySimpleType">
 <xs:attribute name="nombre" use="required">
 <xs:simpleType>
 <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
 <xs:maxLength value="50"/>
 </xs:restriction>
 </xs:simpleType>
 </xs:attribute>
 <xs:attribute name="tipo" use="optional">
 <xs:simpleType>
 <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
 <xs:minLength value="0"/>
 <xs:maxLength value="30"/>
 </xs:restriction>
 </xs:simpleType>
 </xs:attribute>
 <xs:attribute name="id" use="optional">
 <xs:simpleType>
 <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
 <xs:minLength value="0"/>
 </xs:restriction>
 </xs:simpleType>
 </xs:attribute>
 </xs:extension>
 </xs:simpleContent>
</xs:complexType>and the generated class looks like
public class ExtensionType {
 @XmlValue
 protected Object value;
 @XmlAttribute
 protected String id;
 @XmlAttribute(required = true)
 protected String nombre;
 @XmlAttribute
 protected String tipo;
}If I change value's type to String I don't get the error any more. I've tried some binding customizations, but without luck.
Any hints on how to a) customize de binding or b) modify the schema so that jaxb doesn't choke on xjc's bindings?
tks

I am running into the same problem. I need an @XmlValue to be an Object (xs:anyType). Here are the basic annotations:
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlType(name = "argument")
public class Argument {
 @XmlAttribute(name = "type")
 protected String type;
 @XmlValue
 protected Object value;
}The desired output is as follows:
<argument type="arg1.type" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xsi:type="xs:string">
 test
</argument>However, I am getting the same exception: "@XmlAttribute/@XmlValue need to reference a Java type that maps to text in XML." when attempting to marshal.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Data Type, Message Type and Mapping for FTP

Thanks in advance for your replies.
As our first production XI scenario, we need to move several (at least 46) files from our SAP instance to a couple of different servers to support our legacy systems. Once all locations are on SAP this requirement should go away.
I only want to pick up the file from the one server and place it on the other and this leads me to some questions.
How do I define the Data Type and Message Type for each of the files? Do I need to consider the size of the record in each interface and create DT/MT with different sizes.
Do I need a mapping program that simply maps one structure to the other?

I recently completed a similar exercise.
It looks like this...
server1 ftp (Sender - delete file) - XI - Server2 ftp (receiver - create file). This will move the file from one server to another.
I used the same schema and mapped fields on a one to one basis.
The Size of the files I process are between 6kb and 500kb each, but the mapping/fields remain constant, just the numebr of items change.
Worked seemelessly for the last three weeks (since go-live)

Problems with using wsld defined types in mapping

Hi,
I want to call a web service from XI.
I imported the wsdl of the web service as "External Definitions". The complex types are stored in xsd files referenced in "External References".
In "Message Interface", I set the "Input message" as "External message".
Then I want to create a "Message mapping" between the outbound message type and the inbound one I created, but when I choose the one from "External definition", no dataType appears to do the mapping.
Is it link to the fact the types used in the wsdl are defined in xsd files?
Regards
Yann

Hi,
Have you followed the principle given in this URL at the end for creating your external definition?

Container type massage mapping in PI

Hi,
I am facing issue in message mapping. I am new in the XI.
In the source XSD, One Container Structure is their of 1...1 cardinality and type structure. inside this container structure one more container with 1...unbounded cardinality. Fields are not visible in this container.
Hoe to map fields to the inside structure.

Hi Ranj,
You can map the Container structure either one to one or based on the requirement to the target structure field which needs to be populated based on the occurence of the Container node from the Source. Also not quite sure of the below . Please clarify:
Fields are not visible in this container.
Hoe to map fields to the inside structure.

What is fault message type in mapping

hi folks,
what is the use of fault message type in message mapping . where do we use them .please spare a little time to type rather to refer to other blogs. have a nice day

Hi Bose
Fault messages are used to propogate / send back the error maessage to the calling application. This is used when there is a failue and the sending system needs to know what the error was. This is more of catching Application Errors.
Also please go through the link below to get the details for fault messages...
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/5d/a45c3cff8ca92be10000000a114084/content.htm
fault message is a message that describes an application-specific error situation
we have standardised fault message in XI.
Fault message types are designed for application-specific errors that occur on the inbound side and that are reported back to the sender or persisted in monitoring.
In the synchronous case, when an application-specific error occurs on the inbound side, instead of sending a response message back to the sender, the application can send a fault message to handle the error.
The fault message of the application for an asynchronous ABAP server proxy is persisted for monitoring. In the case asynchronous of Java server proxies, the fault message is part of a negative application acknowledgement
Application-specific means that the application on the inbound side triggers the error itself because, for example, the request message did not contain sufficient information

You can use Fault messages when you want to handle errors at the Inbound side ie at the destination side.

COPA- How to seggregate when 2 condion type are mapped to one copa field

Hi,
I have a scenario, wherein 2 Billing condition records PDIF & PR00 mapped to one copa field.
Going forward, I can map each of them to different copa fields, then is their a way to correct past data?
These 2 condition records have diffrent billing types.
If I go to CE1XXXX table, I have an option to pull data according billing types.
CE4XXX Segment table being a higher level table, I can't extract data per billing type.
Realignment and Reorganizing copa data doens't seem to address the fix.
Looking for some good suggestions.
Thanks,
Parimala.

Hi,
From what I think, it is probably not possible and best not to correct the past data in this case. Technically, will you have any idea as to how to break this data, and based on what weightage, percentage or conditions? And how many years back are you going to correct the data?
I can suggest that you correct the data by reversing the old data out (by posting in opposite figures), put in the new mapping, and repost the data again. However, in this case, you'll lost the history of the posting and it will take a lot of time to identify the data and re-post.
It's best to use the mapping from a logic break onwards, such as going forward in a new fiscal year... it's probably going to cost a lot of effort in re-educating the users, and correcting the reports, but it might be more effective from IT point of view.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Gimmo

Types of mapping which xi supports?

funtional mapping is supported by XI or not? if so where can i find this options in XI
Thanks &regards
siva

Hi Siva,
These terms are really confusing....But actually XI support...
1. Structural Mapping.
2. Value mapping
There is no term node mapping / functional mapping...
When we talk about Mapping techniques...then there are
Message mapping
      Graphical design and test environment
      Queue-based model allows handling of very large
      documents
      Extensible via Java user-defined functions
XSLT
      Open standard
      Portable
      Extensible via Java user-defined functions
      Memory overhead for very large documents
Java
       Flexibility of Java programming language
       Java mapping program is responsible for
       parsing/rendering XML
ABAP
       Leverage existing ABAP base
       ABAP mapping program is responsible for
       parsing/rendering XML
I have some good document on this...let me know your emaild.
