Value mapping is used to map different representations of an object to each other.

Where we use Conversions like Fixed Value and Value mapping?

where we use Conversions? like Fixed Value and Value mapping?

Mostly say when u have a scenario like converting a value in the source to a another in
target. Say in source it might me KM but in target u might need Kilometers and u hav multiple entries like this.

Table lookup instead of fixed value mapping

Hi Folks,
My current scenario is that I have used fixed value mapping to map a single target field. These details are actually maintained in the TP_Code table in R3 (a sample table).
TradingPartner:SAP:Short Text
PA:PA:Package
PL:PAL:Pallet
The table contains 20 entries.
I am thinking that fixed value mapping is not a good option since there might have future changes in the TP_Code table.
Is rfc lookup a good option? But I am not sure which rfc to use and if there is any udf availble to be used in parsing the xml payload.
Please advise.
Thanks a ton!

Thanks so much for the links!
I managed to use and run the RFC lookup to an R3 table using JCo. However, I am not getting the right result.
I am getting the result in this format -> 800,PA,PAC,Package
The correct output is PAC which is the third node. Could this only be achieved by using java tokenizer?
The code that I have used is as follows:
Import com.sap.mw.jco.*;
//write your code here
String DBTABLE = a;
String WHERE_CLAUSE = b" = ""'"c"'" ;
String sapClient = "xxx";
String hostName = "nnnxxx";
String systemNumber = "xx";
String userName = "nnnnn";
String password = "******";
String language = "EN";
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( "SAPLookup", mConnection );
// Create function
JCO.Function function = null;
IFunctionTemplate ft = mRepository.getFunctionTemplate("RFC_READ_TABLE");
function = ft.getFunction();
// Obtain parameter list for function
JCO.ParameterList input = function.getImportParameterList();
// Pass function parameters
input.setValue( DBTABLE, "QUERY_TABLE");
input.setValue( "," , "DELIMITER");
//Fill the where clause of the table
JCO.ParameterList tabInput = function.getTableParameterList();
JCO.Table inputTable = tabInput.getTable("OPTIONS");
inputTable.appendRow();
inputTable.setValue(WHERE_CLAUSE,"TEXT");
mConnection.execute( function );
JCO.Table valueSet = function.getTableParameterList().getTable("DATA");
String resultSet = valueSet.getString("WA");
mConnection.disconnect();
return resultSet;

Fixed value mapping

Any one there to explain me what is fixed value mapping Coz when i used LOOK UPS , they told me you can used fixed value mapping instead of it , as i was having only to values , please send me a detail explanation abt it thanking you
sridhar

There is a lot of difference between fixed value mapping and Lookup:
Fixed value mapping is used when you need to populate the some differnt target value based on some inpur value.
Take example
I have used fixed value M:
My input is ABC
Now for this input I wanted to poupulate some different values.
Suppose when A comes in File it should map the target value to America.
When B come it should map to Belgium
and C -> California
Now come to Looup:
What is Lookup and why we need:
Within an XI mapping it is a common requirement to be able to perform data lookups on-the-fly. In particular, there may be a need to look up some data that is maintained in an R/3 application.
In the error handling topic we have seen the different validations which need to be performed on file. This can be done through Lookup.
Some use cases:
Look up material number from table MARA.
Look up cost center budget.
Look up employee information.
Look up unit-of-measure (UOM) information from table t006a.
Lookup for raising an alert.
The purpose of the lookup may be:
To perform application-level validation of the data, before sending it to the backend.
To populate fields of the XML document with some additional data found in the backend application.
This is a form of value transformation.
The "value mappings" offered by XI are not adequate in this case, since the data would have to be manually entered in the Integration Directory.
There are two ways in which we can do lookup:
Call lookup method from GUI mapping.
Call lookup method from XSLT mapping.
I think u got ur answer
Thnx

Fix Value Mapping Problem

Hi All
I am doing a fix value mapping for a perticular field.I am getting a value say Y001 from the client system which i convert it to Z001 in my system. I tested the XML in the message mapping test tab.It is giving proper result.But at the output file i am getting the same value of Y001 instead of Z001.Can anyone please provide any inputs on this.
Thanks
Amit

HI,
Please chek the imput values..
Sure if you fix the value in Fix Value mapping then you will get the resukt value otherwise empty.

Conversion exits before value mapping in AIF

Hi All
I'm trying to use conversion exits before mapping in define value mapping, where I want to truncate leading zeroes in the source field before the value mapping is executed.
I'm using the conversion exit 'ALPHA' (internal->external) to achieve this, but the leading zeroes do not get truncated. Below is an example-
Conversion Exit: ALPHA
Data Element for conversion:
Direction: Internal->External
Source Value: 0000012345
Expected Value after conversion: 12345
Actual Value after conversion: 0000012345
A similar issue Error in reading a value from database table is noted here, however note 1892571 that is suggested does not seem to resolve the issue I'm facing.
Am I missing something here?
Regards
Chandra

Hi Glenn Bumanlag,
I think the values that you have given for source values (Agency and scheme)
and Target values (Agency and scheme) may be mismatching so kindly chek that...even i got the same error in the past..........
If you the this problem kindly change it accordingly and also refresh the cache once you that with this.........
Kindly follow the below mentioned link and check if you have followed these steps.

XI Fixed Value Mapping - Mass function?

Is there a quick way to upload 350 fixed value to value mappings in XI 7.0 (or 3.0)??
Short of pasting in one entry at a time!
Is SAP going to develop a more user friendly alternative to this painstaking task?

It is fixed values in mapping!
I was afraid of that... I had been putting off the inevitable!
Is there anyway we can put forward a request (for change) to SAP to change this in a later release??
This is not the first time I have had to this, and I am sure, it won't be the last, or that I am the only person who has had to do this!

Fixed Values and Value Mapping

Hi Experts,
I hav a doubt regarding these to funnctions in Messege mapping. In both teh functions , we can change a value coming from Load to some thing else.
Like
A=1
B=2
C=8.
The difference i hav noted is the in case of fixed values, we can assign the valsues in the messege mapping itself, and in case of value mapping it is assigned in the value mapping table in integartion directory, and thsi can be seen through Runtime Workbench in Cache Monitering. . Apart from that there seems to be no big significat difference in the application .
Pls correct me , if I ma missing out something.
Pls tell me if both hav the same functionality, why were these 2 functions made , any 1 of them, preferably Value Mappimg Function could hav been enough.
Regards,
Arnab.

Hi
Fixed value mapping is Message mapping Specific
But Value mapping allows u to create a Schema and group .
Value mapping functionality will be well understood in large integration where many mapping programs using same conversions.
Maintain advantage is maintance is easy with value mapping because if any chnages in value , just ID change is enogh no need to go mapping but this is not with fixed value
For instance if u r using Fixed value in 50 mapping programs u need to change in all
But if u r using Value mapping just one ID
Which one u prefer
all based upon u r landscape for mapping

Urgent: Performance problem with where clause using IN and an OR condition

Select statement is:
select fl.feed_line_id
from ap_expense_feed_lines_all fl
where ((:1 is not null and
fl.feed_line_id in (select distinct r2.object_id
from xxdl_pcard_wf_routing_lists r2,
     per_people_f hr2
where upper(hr2.full_name) like upper(:1||'%')
          and hr2.person_id = r2.person_id
and r2.fyi_list is null
          and r2.sequence_number <> 0))
or
(:1 is null))
If I modify the statement to remove the "or (:1 is null))" part at the bottom of the where clause, it returns in .16 seconds. If I modify the statement to only contain the "(:1 is null))" part of the where clause, it returns in .02 seconds. With the whole statement above, it returns in 477 seconds. Anyone have any suggestions?
Explain plan for the whole statement is:
(1) SELECT STATEMENT CHOOSE

Thanks in advance,

Thanks for the reply, but I have already checked what you are suggesting and I am pretty sure those are not causing the problem. The hr2.full_name column has an upper index and the (4) line of the explain plan shows that index being used. In addition, that part of the query executes on its own quickly.
Because the sql is not displayed in an indented format on this page it is a little hard to understand the structure so I am going to restate what is happening.
My sql is:
select a_column
from a_table
where ((:1 is not null) and a_column in (sub-select statement)
or
(:1 is null))
The :1 bind variable is set to a varchar2 entered on the screen of an application.
If I execute either part of the sql without the OR condition, performance is good.
If the :1 bind variable is null with the whole sql statement (so all rows or a_table are returned), performance is still good.
If the :1 bind variable is a not-null value with the whole sql statement, performance stinks.
As an example:
where (('wa' is not null) and a_column in (sub-select statement)) -- fast
where (('wa' is null)) -- fast
where (('' is not null) and a_column in (sub-select statement) -- fast
or
('' is null))
where (('wa' is not null) and a_column in (sub-select statement) -- slow
or
('wa' is null))

Checking domain fixed values

I have a screen field in a dynpro where the domain has a fixed value range. The values shows up in the F4 help, but I can't figure out the best way to validate it in the PAI short of hardcoding, which I'd like to avoid.
Take for example a domain with possible values 'A', 'B', 'C', '1', '2' or '3'. These values pull through to the search help but I also need to validate manual user input against this list.
I understand the DDIC attribute for a screen element can do this, but that's not an option in this case as the name of the field does not match the name of a dictionary field. Any other suggestions?
Thanks

If this field should only contain values from the domain fixed value range, why don't you make it into a drop down listbox field? This would make manual input impossible and all they can do is select values from the drop down list.

Message Mapping - fixed values - not mapping

Hi
i have a simple fixed values mapping that is not producing anything.
the input value can be 'Y' , 'N' , or a blank.
The fixed value mapping is setting these input values to 'Yes', 'No', and 'No'
however when i test this, nothing is getting mapped to the output record for this field.
can someone tell me why?
many thanks,
Julia

Hello,
What happens when you use this logic?
Source -> mapWithDefault: -> fixValues -> Target
Configuration for fixValues would be:
DefaultValue: No
BehaviourLookUp: Use Default Value
key value
Y Yes
Hope this helps,
Mark

How create a Value Mapping Table in XI 3.0?

Hi:
    I wish make a single sample scenario where receiving data must be converted according to convertion table:
01 -
       Legacy A | Legacy B -
M
             Male:              01     |    M
             Female:            02     |    F
And I don´t know how build it. Must I create anything in Integration Repository? (any special message mapping or function?).
Anyone know about weblog where explain step by step for "value mapping group" and "value mapping tables" creation?
Help me please.
Regards!!
David.

Hi David,
You can create value mapping tables in Integration Directory.
First you have to create Value mapping group using menu Object>new>Value mapping Group
to Display value mapping you have to use Tools--> Value mapping.
Also refer to following link on help.sap.com
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/13/ba20dd7beb14438bc7b04b5b6ca300/content.htm
In IR Graphical mapping tool, use the standard function Conversions-->Value mapping.
Hope this helps.

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
