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!

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;

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.

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

Value Mapping - Mass replication and Integration Directory interface

Hello all,
The following question is often approched in this forum but answer is never cleary provided. Thus I'm sorry to ask it again.
We are using Value Mapping mass data replication using special interface provided by XI. We can easily see results in cache using Cache Monitoring tool in RWB.
My question is :
Is it possible to see and then to maintain such data (mass replicated) using Integration directory (Tools > Value Mapping menu)
In this menu, we don't see our loaded data.
How to do this ?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Jean-Charles !
We also use VMR, and we find no way to access the cache data from Integration Directory. I think that by design this is not possible.
Value Mapping Replication for Mass Data
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/2a/9d2891cc976549a9ad9f81e9b8db25/frameset.htm
You cannot display the replicated value mapping data in the Integration Directory user interface (see Displaying/Editing the Value Mapping Table) since the original runtime data is stored in the application from which the data is copied. The value mappings created in this way using the user interface of the Integration Directory are just one of many possible sources of data.

How to perform fixed value mapping in XSLT?

Hi All,
Kindly guide me to do a XSLT mapping for fixed values (done in graphical mapping)
eg: if Band         Role

            B               SE
and so on.
Kindly help me out to implement the above logic using xslt.

Value Mapping - Mass replication

Hi all,
I have set a lot of Value Mapping groups using the JPR mass replication
One of my context : http://sap.com/xi/XI/LanguageCodes
I can see the cache content using RWB but is it normal I can't see it using Integration Directory ?
Thanks a lot

Hi Jean,
From ID we can't see the other contexts except http://sap.com/xi/XI.U r saying valuemapping is not returning any values. The conversion for Source value is maintained in the list of values it would return the value other wise it would return as empty.For all the values you are unable to get the return values or for some of the values and remember if you test mapping then you didn't view the values.At runtime only you can able to view the values.
/people/sukumar.natarajan/blog/2006/10/23/accessing-value-mapping-defined-in-directory-using-java-functions, Check this weblog and follow the UDF code, so that u will able to view what are the values does not maintain in the list of values.
And once check the same from CacheMonitoring in RWB for that particular value for which value u r not getting the return value.

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

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
Prabhat

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

Reg:Value Mapping Replacment

hi friends
i need to design a scenario using value mapping .i have nearly 600 records to be replaced but i observed in the configuration part that we have to enter all the values manually which is not prefferable for 600 records. so is there any alternative to place the values like copy paste from excel sheet.
regards
suman

Hi,
>so is there any alternative to place the values like copy paste from excel sheet.
there is something called value mapping mass replication
it's an interface for value mapping table
and you can use it in your own abap report that will
process excel files
but remember you will not see those values in ID
you can only view them from RWB but they will work
in standard value mappings
but I'd suggest doing a normal lookup and not using value mapping tables at all

Raising error from Value Mapping

All,
We are using value mapping for a particular field in our messages. The value mapping table does have entries for most of the entries.
Is there a way to raise an error - when the runtime gets a value that is not defined in the value mapping table?
Thanks.

Let me also explain what we are trying to do. probably that will help in getting a better or easier solution.
we are using the value mapping mass replication, where in we get the whole translation table into the cache and use it in our application. This table is pushed from R/3 using a report/proxy.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2a/9d2891cc976549a9ad9f81e9b8db25/frameset.htm
I was worried that what will happen, if for some reason the cache is cleared during a restart or something. All the value mappings will fail - till the time the data is sourced again from the R/3 system - right? (we are currently having the R/3 proxy push the translation data every 12 hours or so, but was worried about the time in between).
Thanks.

Fix Values Standard Function

Hi
My question is regarding the standard function Fix Values :
There is a Table where a field from the Legacy File ,if has a value X then 123 has to be passed to ERP and so on .....
I want to use Fix Value (key-Value Pair) in the same , but the limitation is that there are 200 such combinations
Is it advisable to manually fill these or is there a way that it can be accomplished in SAP XI deriving it from an excel sheet or somewhere?
The same are not stored in SAP and thus can't be looked up !
Kindly advise if there is an alternate if the Key value pairs are of large number of the order say 500 etc
Thanks
Dev

the best is to go for a value mapping instead of fixed values when the count is high
