Value Mapping : Different Source - Same Target

Hi all,
Is it possible to map the different source value to the same target value with XI Value mappuing.
Because when i try to set the same target value for a second value .. the directory delete it for the first one.
for example i have:
Value1
Value2 --- newValue1
Value3
Value4 --- newValue2
Value5 --- newValue3
is it possible to build this somehow with ValueMapping?
Regards,
Robin

Hi,
no you missunderstood.
i useing the conversion function Value mapping.
The Values i set in Directory -> Tools -> Value mapping.
What i want know, is if value 1 and value 2 comes the value mapping hast to give back for both the same... value 3.
im only intressting of the values .. no structure other something else.
Regards,
Robin

Os windows 7 trying to install PhotoKit 2.06 in CS4 getting 'Owl Orphanage: Photoshop.exe - Bad Image. Have tried downloading Photokit from a different source - same problem. How can I get this to install please?

Has anyone had a problem installing PhotoKit 2.06 in CS4? I keep getting 'Owl Orphanage: Photoshop.exe Bad Image. I have tried installation files from 2 different sources without success. Pixel Genius suggested dropping the unzipped files directly into Plug-ins - that didn't work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Peter
I am in touch with Pixel Genius, the plug-in developer, and so far ( this has been going on for 5 days) a solution has not been forthcoming, hence my post. The required files are shown in Windows Explorer but will not load when I fire up CS4. Previously, I ran version 1.2.4 of PhotoKIt without a problem but that was uninstalled to make way for the latest software. Pixel Genius have asked me to open up CS4 Help, System info, and send it to them which I have done. I wait in hope!

Update rules, different source and target units (0BASE_UOM-- 0QVVMRA)

Hi,
I have a problem with update rules as I'm trying to map two keyfigures with different unit-types together. They are both kilograms (KG) but the source figure is defined as 0BASE_UOM and the target keyfigure is 0QVVMRA (Amount of sales).
How can I make this connection work? Do I have to use the 'Unit calculation in routine' -option or is there a more simple way? I a routine must ne written, please post an example or link to a thread which has one.
Thx!
-miikka

Hi,
The Problem is that you are trying to connect a Key Fig for Type Quantity with the Key Figure Amount.
The Amount Key Fig will have either 0CURRENCY or Fixed Currency.
Using Update Rules Coding you could transfer the Value but you will have problems with the Currency. You cant store a Unit like KG in 0CURRENCY.

Multiple source values to single target in value mapping

Hi Experts,
I have to acheive below thing using value mapping.
Source                        Target
ABC                            111
CBA                            111
XYZ                             222
ZYX                             222
When I am trying to do this in ID, It is not allowing me.
Is there a way to do this?
Regards,
Prasad

Source            Target
ABC               111
CBA               111
XYZ               222
ZYX               222
For the above source and target you have to create 2 value mapping groups.
In more detail I want to say is,
1. Just create your value mapping by using Source & target Agency & Schema.
2. Create your first value mapping group which will return the traget value as '111'.
3. Create your second value mapping group within the same Agency & Schema which will return you '222'.
While creating it If get any warning just ignore it..
Note: You can add multiple value mapping groups if you have different outputs for different sources.

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 <b>key</b> exists in the <b>value mapping table</b>. 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!
Warm Regards,
Keerti

Value mapping not working properly

Hi All,
I am using value mapping twice in same mapping program. But only 1 field is coming with value and other is taking same value from source payload, can you please tell me what can be issue here?
Value mapping 1 -
Context - http://sap.com/xi/XI
SenderParty- SenderSchema
ReceiverParty- ReceiverSchema
Value Mapping table in ID -
Value mapping at field 2 -
Context - http://sap.com/xi/XI
SenderParty1- SenderSchema1
ReceiverParty2- ReceiverSchema2
Value Mapping table in ID -
Source payload -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_VM_Send xmlns:ns0="http://xyz.com/Rashmi_CollectPatternDemo">
   <Record>
      <Emp_ID>123</Emp_ID>
      <Name>rash</Name>
      <Surname>sumit</Surname>
      <Gender>Male</Gender>
     <Grade>E2</Grade>
</Record>
</ns0:MT_VM_Send>
Target Payload -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_VM_Receiver xmlns:ns0="http://xyz.com/Rashmi_CollectPatternDemo">
<Record>
<Emp_ID>123</Emp_ID>
<Full_Name>rash sumit</Full_Name>
<Designation>E2</Designation>
<Gender>M</Gender>
<Travel_Mode>Train</Travel_Mode>
</Record>
</ns0:MT_VM_Receiver>
Here travel_mode is coming perfect, but designation is same as defined in source payload. Why here Value mapping not working???
Thanks & regards,
Rashmi Joshi

Hi Rashmi,
The problem would either be in cache update or your mapping. Please provide the sceenshot of mapping (after clicking the value mapping function).
you can also choose the option to throw error in value mapping function, so it will throw error when value not found.

Any Best Practices (i.e. DOs and Don'ts) for source to target MAPPINGs?

Hi Experts,
Any Best Practices (i.e. DOs and Don'ts) for source to target MAPPINGs?
I will appreciate any hints on this.
Thanks

Hi,
I am assuming that you are asking about transformation mapping between source and target..
1) One to One mapping
2)Avoid using complex calculations
3) if any calculations required use routine instead of formulas
4)if possible avoid Using field routine (you can do start or end routine )
5)Do not map unwanted fields ( unnecessary process time,database occupant, also problem while activation of DSO data )
6)Avoid using master data read mapping option instead you can use routine to fetch the master data
7) no need of using infosurce
8)Use standard time conversions for time fields
Generally these things we need to consider while mapping..

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

Mapping multiple source value to one target value in value mapping

Hello experts,
In my scenario, i need to map more than one source value to one target value in value mapping. Like:
1        TenderPickup
2        TenderLoan
7        TenderPickup
101     TenderPickup
102     TenderLoan
107     TenderPickup
But when I enter the same target value for the second time and try to save it, it gives me an error saying value mapping already exists.
But this should logically be allowed. How can this be done. Please provide a solution.
Thanks,
Yash

Hi Prabhu,
When i right click on the target field, it gives me only 3 options:
1) Insert Row
2) Delete Value Mapping
3) Value Mapping in all agencies
I dont see nay option for duplicating rows.
What I hae done is in ID i clicked on TOOLS and then VALUE MAPPING. I checked the option "Value Mapping Agencies" and gave my source and target agencies detials. Then i clicked on DISPLY and in the next page I have 3 columns - Value for <source agency>, Value for <target agency> and Group name.
When I give duplicate values in the column Vlaue for <target agency>, it doesnt allow me to and if i right click in this column, i get the above mentioend options.
Please point out where i m going wrong.
Thanks,
Yash

Mapping Multiple Source fields to Single Target Fields with differnt Values

Hello Friends,
I am having a senario where I have to mapped multiple fileds from source str. to same Idoc Fields with ( differnt default values )
E.g Source Str.
- ShopNO
- OrderTyp
Has to mapped to Idoc Str E1EDK14-Orgid.
E.g Mapping:
So when ShopNo will mapped to E1EDK14-Orgid the default value should be "MOP" & E1EDK14-Qualf should be 019
and when OrderType will be mapped to E1EDK14-Orgid the default value should be "STD" & E1EDK14-Qualf should be 012
So I tried of using node "UseOneAsMany".....but there I cant define the vaule of field orgid, and seconly how to specify the values of field Qualf?
Do i need to write my own specify function ? or I can sovle this issue using standard avaiable functions ?
Regards,

Hi Ravi,
Thanks for your reply....
I am facing following problem... when I try to duplicate the segment and do mapping....... and then when I save, I got following error msg:
The source or target structure has been changed or could not be found in the Integration Repository. The mapping definition contains elements or attributes that do not exist in the changed structure. The relevant entries will be deleted
Target structure has no such path: /ZARVO_ORD/IDOC/E1EDK05[1]/KSCHL. Skipping mapping
Target structure has no such path: /ZARVO_ORD/IDOC/E1EDK05[1]/KRATE. Skipping mapping
Any suggestion ?
in other words, when I do duplicate it creates me the segment, but when I save it, it gets disappered .........

One target table is loading from two different source but same columns but one source is in a database and other is in a flat file.

Hope you all are doing good.
I have a business issue to be implemented in ODI 11G. Here it is. I am trying to load a target table from two sources having same coulmn names. But one source is in file format and other is in Oracle Database.
This is what i think i will create two mappings in the same interface using Union between the sources. But i am not sure how the interface would connect to different logical architecture to connect to two different sources.
Thanks,
SM

You are on the right track, this can all be done in a single interface. Do the following
1) Pull your file data model into the source designer and and your target table model to the target pane.
2) Map all the relevant columns
3) In the source designer create a new dataset and choose the UNION join type (this will create a separate tab in the source designer pane)
4) Select the new dataset tab in the source designer pane and pull your source oracle table data model into the source designer. Map all the relevant columns to the target
5) Make sure that your staging location is defined on a relational technology i.e. in this case the target would be an ideal candidate as that is where ODI will stage the data from both file and oracle source and perform the UNION before loading to the target
If you want to look at some pretty screenshots showing the steps above take a look at http://odiexperts.com/11g-oracle-data-integrator-part-611g-union-minus-intersect/

Mapping from source in same DB as target

We are running a warehouse where part of the data is pumped into a holding schema in the same database as the target schema resides.
Using OWB3 we set the "schema property" of all objects in the mappings referring to the holding schema and generated the loads. This worked just fine.
Now I am looking at upgrading to OWB92 but it seems the "schema property" is obsolete. Does that mean I HAVE to create a database link to the holding schema in the target schema using locations and connectors, or is there another way of directly referecing the holding schema in the mappings that load data from holding to target ?

Nikolai -
I just tried this as well. I went from source to staging area which is setup as a target schema. That worked fine.
Then I tried to map from the staging target schema to another target schema on the same instance.
The deployment correctly prefixed with the schema name rather than the database link, but my problem now is that it doesn't appear that the 2nd target schema has permissions to select from the table in the first target schema.
Can this be fixed somewhere in configuration or do I have to manually grant select on any tables in this situation?
Thanks,
Dave

Issue in mapping the same source and target fields

Hi All,
I am working on PI 7.0 and currently I am connecting to PI 7.0 via citrix desktop . Problem here is : in the mapping , direct mapping option that is available to map the same source and target fields is disabled . I do know that this is due to some java version issue .
What I want to know is there any possibilty of solving this issue without installing an updated java version ?
Regards
Vinay P.

I've faced the same for many times and all of that were due to Java version.
1st of all, you have to check the authorizations you have. If you have enough (DEVELOPER_J2EE, CONTENT_ORGANIZER_J2EE, and so), and - obvious but very often forgotten - you have to assure you're trying to change it in the message mapping change mode On.
Then, last shot should be downgrade your Java version.
The 1.4.2 JRE version allow you to use not only the Mapp the Identical field but also Dependencies, Clear Mapping and some other tools/buttons. As mentioned above, if there's a fix in the new Java releases, I do not know (hope so) and would appreciate if you could let us know.
Tks.

No mapping for Same structure in source and target

Hi Experts,
I want to transfer the source structure to two receivers . Here source and target structures are same so i dont need mapping.
My question is how many DT,MT and MI required .. mapping required or not.
Thanks in Advance
CS

hi CS,
here in your scenario as u have told that source and reciver are of same structure . definitely you didn't need any mapping . and you have to create two data type(one for sender and one for receiver) , two message types(one for sender and one for receiver)) , and two message interfaces(one for sender and one for receiver).
while creating message types it asks for data type and while creating message interface it asks for message type only . as the structures of sender and receiver are same then inspite of having two receivers we have to create ony one message interface on sender side . later the adapter will take care of further proceedings
but in case of configuration you have to import three business systems . one for sender and two for receiver systems . and you have to configure the communications channels accordingly. as per the receivers accepting the structures you have to use the relevant adaptors .

Entering Source and Target Values in Value Mapping

Hi,
Is there any auomative way of entering source and target values in Value Mapping or FixValues instead of manually entering the values.
I have around 400 values to be entered on both sides.....just thinking of an easy way to do it....
Thanks for suggestions.
