Upload value mapping - migration from Requisite

Hi all,
We have some rules set up in Requisite that maps for example a category code provided by the supplier ot a material group code. Currenlty, I have been manually maintaining the value mapping in Import Manager. I am wondering whether there is a way to load the mappings (mainly the VALUE mapping) which we already have available in Requsition (exported may in excel or csv format)?
Appreciate any help on that.
Cheers!
SF

Hi SF
I dont think this is possible. for the first time you need to do the value mapping manually and save the map for the next uses.
A workyround can be to use conversion tables in XI/PI and convert the values before posting to MDM. this becomes more scalable as for any delta value conversions we need to add the netries in the conversion table instead of updating the import map.

Value Mapping replication from SAP

Hi
I have gone thru the Blogs and threads related to value mapping replication from SAP.
Inmy observervation http://sap.com/xi/XI/System of SAP BASIS 7.00
still I have some doubts...
1)what is the differnce between ValueMappingReplication(Asynchronous) and ValueMappingReplicationSynchronous .
when we will use them.
2) Message type ValueMappingReplication contains Operation ,GroupId,Context,scheme,agency.
what is the meaning of Operation??
what is the use of group ID??
is this necessary to maintain all these values in Ztable and also source and target values ?? and use them in Abap aproxy logic??
3) is there any Message Mapping Needed.?? and Interface Mapping Needed to implement value Mapping replication??
but in this blog
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/1301i [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] didnt find any interface mapping .
4)what is the Sender Adapter type ??
5) if I did replication from SAP..can I see the details in ID
please guide me

hi
1)what is the differnce between ValueMappingReplication(Asynchronous) and ValueMappingReplicationSynchronous .
In sync you will get the value mapping replication status back and in async you won't. In sync based on the response u can update again in case of any failure. If data size is large use async.
2) Message type ValueMappingReplication contains Operation ,GroupId,Context,scheme,agency.
what is the meaning of Operation??
The operation that you are going to perform. Below is the operations list and the contents to be set in the message for the same
Insert = all fields must be set;
Delete =all fields must be set;
DeleteGroup = fields GroupID and context must be set;
DeleteContext = field Context must be set;
DeleteContextGeneric = Context contains the starting part for the context to be deleted
what is the use of group ID??
Displays the different representations of an object.
A value mapping group is identified uniquely by a GUID.
You can also assign a name to a value mapping group.
is this necessary to maintain all these values in Ztable and also source and target values ?? and use them in Abap aproxy logic??
no. system creates the value mapping table. you can take it frm there. no need of any ztables.
3) is there any Message Mapping Needed.?? and Interface Mapping Needed to implement value Mapping replication??
You will be sending the value mapping data from a sender system. If it can sent in the same format not required, otherwise you will have to.
4)what is the Sender Adapter type ??
Any adapter...depends on the sender system.
5) if I did replication from SAP..can I see the details in ID
You can see it in Cache monitoring in RWB.

Value Mapping Replication from BPM

Hi,
I'm trying to maintain some value mapping replication data from a BPM. Based on certain steps and their results, a Value Mapping Replication message is sent from BPM. I configured the the receiver as XI system and used the XI channel with java path as mentioned in the help.
Though I can see a checkered flag in SXMB_MONI, I cant see the data in the RWB cache monitoring. When I double click the message, by I dont see the the payload received by the receiver but I see the SOAP envelope with some details. When I execute the scenario from ABAP out bound proxy and the same receiver XI channel, I can see the value mapping data in cache monitoring of RWB.
Whats wrong/missing?
Thanks in advance

Modify entries of Value mapping table fromValue mapping replication

Hi,
I have successful uploaded value mapping table from external source(SAP Table) using value mapping replication. The entries are displayed in the cache monitoring.
Now what should i do,if i have to modify the entries in the value mapping table.I tried uploading the new entries using the same GUID, Agency, Schema.... but now both the previously uploaded and the new entries are dispalyed in Cache monitoring.
But i want only the new entries to get reflected in the value mapping table. So kindly request anyone to help.

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.

Value Mapping back up

Hi XI experts,
do we have any option for taking the backup of Value Mapping(for e.g say 200 mapping configured) from RWB?
thanks in advance.

Hi Mohan,
Unfortunatelly there is no way to make a backup of the already uploaded Value Mapping. You can only export the Value Mapping group created manually in the Integration Directoy.
What you can do for future situations is create a repository (could be an excel file) for this information before sending it into cache. Make sure you include the group id in the repository.
That way when you need to upload it again you will have all the information in your repository.
Good luck.

Accessing values during runtime in value mapping

Hi all,
We have a specific requirement , where in we have a set of fields coming from the source system. All the fields have values expect few. The few which don't have values are reserved for future use, and for each source field there is a corresponding target value and we need map them.
We have used value mapping here, but it doesn't work for fields which don't have values.
We have thought of accessing the fields which do not have values, dynamically or at runtime by connecting the database of the source system.
Is it possible to do this, if yes, please provide with your inputs and alternatives.
thanks,
younus

Go through this:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/13/ba20dd7beb14438bc7b04b5b6ca300/frameset.htm
To implement Value Mapping, following activities have to be performed:
1. Register Java Proxies. This is one time activity for each installation. Following URL has to be called for registering asynchronous replication scenario:
http://<Server>:<Port>/ProxyServer/register?ns=http://sap.com/xi/XI/System&interface=ValueMappingReplication&bean=localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.xi.services/ValueMappingApplication&method=valueMappingReplication
2. Application Programming: ABAP program has to be written to perform following tasks:
a. Read Value Mapping data from table.
b. Call Outbound Proxy to push the data into a message to Integration Server.
3. Configuration of Replication scenario in Integration Directory.

Lookup value mapping table through message mapping.

Hello All,
I am working on a graphical mapping (message mapping). When trying to map the source message to the target message, I need to find out it a particular key exists in the value mapping table. Depending on the result, I need to map different source fields to the target field.
Is there any inbuilt function which will allow me to do a lookup on a value mapping table, or is it possible to lookup a value mapping table from a UDF?
Please help!

Value Mapping Replication Inbound Structure

Hi All,
I am using Value Mapping Replication to upload Value Mapping Table in runtime cache, to do this first i create value mapping manually in ID with source and target.
Source:Agency : ValCustomerNo_B
Schema : ValB
Value : xxx
Target:Agency : ValCustomerNo_J
Schema : ValJ
Value : yyy
Now try to upload 1800 record in the same value mapping table through Value Mapping Replication. Inbound structure looks like this.

I do not know is this xml structure is correct for XI adapter to create correct rows in value mapping table or not?
At runtime value mapping function in graphical mapping, for manually create record in Value mapping table is coming correctly where in case VM replication record it always map to one arbitrary number.
Even when I look into runtime cache notification, manually created record comes in pair like..
Agency : ValCustomerNo_B | Schema : ValB | Value : xxx | Group ID | Context
Agency : ValCustomerNo_J | Schema : ValJ | Value : yyy | Group ID | Context
Where as record for VM Replication comes in sequence first all ValB and then ValJ, they are not in pair
Agency : ValCustomerNo_B | Schema : ValB | Value : xxx | Group ID | Context
Agency : ValCustomerNo_B | Schema : ValB | Value : ppp | Group ID | Context
u2026u2026.
Agency : ValCustomerNo_J | Schema : ValJ | Value : yyy | Group ID | Context
Agency : ValCustomerNo_J | Schema : ValJ | Value : aaa | Group ID | Context
I suspect inbound xml structure is not correct for VM replication.

Value Mapping Tables are not updated in RWB cache

Hi Friends,
I am doing value mapping replication from SAP.
I am following
/people/sreekanth.babu2/blog/2005/02/23/value-mapping-replication
1)
I didnt changed ABAP proxy of ValueMappingReplicationOut in SAP system.
is anything to... its already in Active state
2)I used ABAP report to call proxy in SAP system.
while debugging ,I come to know that values are populating in the structure svmr_value_mapping_replication in proxy.
3) activated Java inbound proxy (async).I got respose like
Interface http://sap.com/xi/XI/System#ValueMappingReplication registered with value localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.xi.services/ValueMappingApplication:valueMappingReplication
4) No message Mapping .because sender and receive using same message type ValueMappingReplication in http://sap.com/xi/XI/System of SAP BASIS 7.00.
4) I didnt done Sender agreement because of sender is SAP here.
6) In receiver communication channel i follwed help.sap.com
i used PIAPPLUSER
7)
but I am not getting values in RWB Cache.
8) i didnt find any message in sxmb_moni
8) I did cashe refresh and CPA cache refresh too..
correct me please..
suggest the relevent
regards
Ram

Hi Sarvesh,
Thanks for your responses.
Now RWB ValueMapping Table is updating.
I tried my luck with Single row of Target and Source values.
I am lucky.
Now I tried my luck more than One row..But I am not getting values the way I required.
Please have a look in below screenshot from RWB.
[http://www.imagehosting.com/show.php/1735277_ValueMapping.jpg.html]
I am getting the first Taget value for all Target avlues.
In Details Tab,It is showing all the values of source and target values.
In my observation,It should show only one source value details.[http://www.imagehosting.com/show.php/1735286_Valuemapping1.Jpg.html]

Value Mapping replication GUID Logic

HI,
We are doing Value Mapping replication from ECC table entries to Pi Runtime Value Mapping cache.
We are generating the Group ID required for Value Mapping from ECC.
Here we are confused with the logic for GUID Generation.
At first I thought the driving factors are -- if there is already an entry for the same Source Agency, Source Scheme, Target Agency, Target Scheme and Target Value then it should go in the same group id, else a new gr id needs to be generated.
However it looks like that is incorrect.
Can somebody help us on what should be the logic for generating group id for Value mapping replication.
We have the scenario where the same source Agency, Scheme ,Value maps to multiple target Schemes... and it is not working if we have different Group ids...
Thanks,
Himadri

> We have the scenario where the same source Agency, Scheme ,Value maps to multiple target Schemes... and it is not working if we have different Group ids...
If you want to have multiple targets, then you have create pairs with unique GUID
like this:
A - 1 GUID X
A - 2 GUID Y
A - 3 GUID Z
The standard value mapping function does not work, when you have multiple targets. It will not return an entry.
You have to create a UDF for this purpose. You need to identify which target do you want to select from different values.
An UDF could look like this extract:
IFIdentifier source = XIVMFactory.newIdentifier(source_context,source_agency,source_scheme);
IFIdentifier target = XIVMFactory.newIdentifier(target_context,target_agency,target_scheme);
IFRequest request = XIVMFactory.newRequest(source,target,sourceValue);
try{
IFResponse response = XIVMService.executeMapping(request);
if (response.countTargetValues() > 0){
String[] targetValues = response.getTargetValues();
// take first value of result
return targetValues[0];
This example is taken from PI 7.1

SAP XI 3.0 Same source for different target in std Value mapping function

Hi,
We have replicated 4 value mapping entries from R3 to XI having the same Context , Agency , Schema and value for source, but each of the 4 values has the same Context and Agency but different Schema and Value respectively.
To illusstate :
Source                             |Target
Context Agency Schema    Value -----Context Agency   Schema     Value
CS1      AS1      SS1      1        CT1       AT1      ST1       A
CS1      AS1      SS1      1        CT1       AT1      ST2       A
CS1      AS1      SS1      1        CT1       AT1      ST3       B
This value mapping is not working and we always get the source value as the result.
We are wondering if the reason for this is that we use the same source for different targets. But we are not 100 % sure of it.
When I read the documentation on Value mapping or when we use the value mapping standard function in graphical mapping, we pass the context , agency and schema of the source and target respectively and the source value to get the target value, and this combination is always unique in our case as seen in the above example.
Has anyone faced this kind of an issue, if yes I would appreciate if anyone could help us resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Advait

Hi Advait,
From the below what I understand is that you are not able to do value mapping for the follwoing
1     A
2     A
3     B
As value mapping allow one to one mapping only. Please do it like as mentioned below
1     1*A
2     2*A
3     3*B
Then in the graphical mapping of Integration Repository do the mapping for the same as shown below
source field > VALUEMAPPING> UDF--> TARGET Field
In UDF suppress the value of 1* , 2* , 3* which can be done as follows
create one UDF with one input field
//write the code as below to suppress the field
return input.substring(2);
Here the davantage of using 1* , 2* , 3* etc is that you have the option to use value mapping for 100 values which I think is not normally the case for any Interface.
If you have same source you can do the same thing for that.
Hope this helps you to resolve your query.
Thanks & Regards

Updation of Value Mapping Table

Hello All,
Is there any way in we can update a value mapping table, from some external source, permanently in the ID and not only in the cache.
Please do respond.
Thanks
Neetu

Hi,
If you have stored value mappings in external tables, you can replicate this data in the runtime cache . To do this, you can use special message interfaces (value-mapping replication interfaces) .
SAP provides the following objects for the replication of value mappings:
· Value-Mapping Replication Interfaces
They are located in the Integration Repository in the software component SAP BASIS, software component version SAP BASIS 6.40 in the namespace http//sap.com/xi/XI/System.
· Proxy Objects
For the inbound message interfaces, there are inbound proxies on the Integration Server and ABAP outbound proxies in the SAP system in ABAP proxy generation under the software component version SAP Basis 6.40.
To implement a value-mapping replication scenario,see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/13/ba20dd7beb14438bc7b04b5b6ca300/frameset.htm

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
