XSLT Value Mapping

Hello Experts,
I have a XSLT senario where XSL map is calling a xml file for value look ups. Can someody help me implement the senarion in PI?
- Rajan

Thanks fo ryour reply Mike,
I have an existing xslt map with the following structure -
-->
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns="http://interlog.dupont.com/transoval/xmlschema">
     <xsl:import href="../Common/ErrorHandling.xsl"/>
     <xsl:import href="DPC_ZSHPMNT5_46C_to_ShipmentRequest20_ReceiverLookup.xsl"/>
     
     <xsl:param name="bizrules" select="document('DPC_ZSHPMNT5_bizrule_code_list.xml')/Bizrules"/>
     
Here thsi "bizrules" parameter is actually lokking in to the 'DPC_ZSHPMNT5_bizrule_code_list.xml' file for the values to map.
Can I leverage this XSLT map in the PI or do I need to write a new map with the java extentions you are specifying here?

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 in xslt mapping

Hi,
I have 2 mapping program one is main .xsl program and other one is value mapping program .xsl .
I have zipped both the program and imported into Imported archive in IR but while testing in interface mapping i am getting error.
error:could not compile xslt stylsheet.
Some of the interface having one .xsl program and value mapping is also defined in the main program itself,these interface i am able to execute successfully but unable to execute wherever there are 2 program (main prog + value mapping).
It seems that value mapping is not loading / executing.
Can anyone please guide me how to call value mapping using xslt mapping?
Thanks,
Subbu

Hi Prateek,
Thanks for the response.
Yes i have 2 program and both needs to execute in one interface mapping.
First program (main) is MappingMOAPS_SAVEMULTIPLE2013.xsl and second program i.e (value mapping) MO_vmf.xsl.
From main program itself value mapping program is called.
Please look below code for main & value mapping prog.
In main prog this is the parameter (<xsl:import href="MO_vmf.xslt"/>) where value mapping prog name is mentioned.
I have already zipped and imported but while testing in interface mapping it is giving error that "could not compile xslt stylsheet".
Could you plaese tell how to check or make XSL to accommodate multiple mappings?
Main mapping : MappingMOAPS_SAVEMULTIPLE2013.xsl --

Value Mapping using XSLT mapping

Hello All,
We have change requirement of storing some xsl Key-Value in SAP PI and on run time existing XSLT mapping need to look that values and in target structure map the value as per source key value.
For this requirement i am going with value mapping that will call from XSLT mapping and created a test scenario before actual changes in XSLT mapping
I have created table in ID.
But unfortunately i am getting below error :

Value Mapping in XSLT

Hello,
I am implementing value mapping in XSLT using template
I call following template to retrieve the value from ID....
<xsl:template name="NonMerchandiseSaleValueMapping">
<xsl:param name="GMNonMerchandiseType"/>
<xsl:value-of select="vm:executeMapping( 'GMNonMerchandiseType', 'GMNonMerchandiseTypeSchema', $GMNonMerchandiseType, 'IXRetailPOSLogLineItemType', 'IXRetailPOSLogLineItemTypeSchema')"/>
</xsl:template>
It works fine for 1 entry that was added long back. I added few new entries in ID value mapping table. All of them does not work. Is there any step we need to do after entering new data in value mapping table. I can see the values in cache monitoring also.
regards
Grewal

Hey
In Both IR and ID go to Environment->Cache Notifications
Do you see any error(red icon) for cache update,it must be all green to refresh cache.If there are any red color icons,click that and manually do a cache refresh(by clicking the small cache refresh icon).
also refresh Cache in RWB.
If all the above does not work,you can re-import the XSLT mapping in IR and see if it works.
Thanks
Aamir

How can i access value mapping table using xslt mapping

Hi All,
I have maintained value mapping table in integration directory.I want to access the data from the value mapping table in XSLT mapping using java function.PLease suggest me to do this.
Thanks

Accessing ID Value Mapping table in XSLT

Hi Experts,
In the XSLT mapping,I would like to access my value mapping table which i defined in ID .The purpose of ID value mapping here is, the table entries will be changing in future and i don want to use fix values, XML table which is defined in runtime.
I have gone through the blog
/people/sreekanth.babu2/blog/2005/01/05/design-time-value-mappings-in-xslt
which explians design value mapping table in XSLT.
Is there any way to access Configuration Value Mapping table in XSLT? If yes, can you explain how should i achieve it ?

Hi,
you can use the xivmService to call ID val map tables.
Use tha java function executeMapping, Its a standard SAP api.
Declare the Service in XSLT at start
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:vm="com.sap.aii.mapping.value.api.XIVMService" version="1.0">
Call the val mapping table using below template wherever required.
<xsl:template name="ValueMapping">
<xsl:param name="SenderParam"/>
<xsl:value-of select="vm:executeMapping( 'SenderType', 'SenderTypeSchema', $SenderParam, 'receiverType', ReceiverTypeSchema')"/>
</xsl:template>
Call template like :
<xsl:call-template name="ValueMapping">
<xsl:with-param name="SenderParam">
try it and let me know if you have any doubt.
regards
Inder

XSLT call Value Mapping

Hi Folks,
please, i need a step by step Solution for calling Value Mapping with XSLT Mapping Program.
best regards Michael

XSLT call Value Mapping
Maintain the value mapping using the option available in the Integration directory. The following values should be entered for maintaining the value mapping. In the XSLT Mapping use the Java function Valuemappingaccessor to read the values from the table.
Class ValueMappingAccessor
          This class is used read the Value mapping stored in the Integration server (Java Cache). Class has a method getValueMapping. The Class is imported into the SWC Eyyy_xxxx under namespace http://xxx.ash.com/COMMON/Common
Method public static String getValueMapping(String srcContext, String dstContext, String srcAgency, String srcSchema, String dstAgency, String dstSchema, String key, Map inputParam, String throwException)
Paramters     Description
srcContext     Source context in the Integration server (Java Cache) under which, the value is stored.
For example, if the source values are stored using standard Value mapping table in the ID, then use source context as http://sap.com/xi/XI
dstContext     Destination context in the Integration server (Java Cache) under which the value is stored
For example, if the source values are stored using standard Value mapping table in the ID, then Target context as http://sap.com/xi/XI
srcAgency     Source Agency, a unique identifying value, value to be used is not yet decided.
srcSchema     Source Schema, For example this can be source field name
key     Source field value, that is required to determine the target, In the figure 1 shown below, We need to send IN to get India
dstAgency     Destination Agency, a unique identifying value, value to be used is not yet decided
dstSchema     Destination Schema, For example this can be target field name
inputParam     Mapping transformation constants, to write the trace into the header of the message
throwException     An indicator to throw an exception, if the value is not found in the cache. If the parameter is set to true or TRUE,   an exception is raised & message fails in the mapping step of the Pipe line.
Returns the value, that is stored in the Value mapping context for the given parameters
If the value mapping is maintained using Integration Directory value mapping, then we need to call the value mapping function as follows
If it has to be called using XSLT Mapping., then the sample code shows how to use the java class the java class ValueMappingAccessor.

Dynamic value mapping

hi,
can u plz explain about Dynamic value mapping and where it actually use this
thanks
guna

Hi ,
Dynamic value mapping.is nothing but
It is FixValues and ValueMapping under Conversion Functions.
Eg:
You need such a requirement. Where the values in the source are mapped to someother value in the target as below.
1--> Mr
2--> MS
3--> MRS
FixValues is used when you know the entire set of Key value pair in the Design Time. You give the Key and the value in the FixValues and the mapping checks and maps the values to the target.
In the case of Value mapping, you maintain this Key - Value pair in the Integration Directory and thereby make changes easily and also use them in the Mapping in IR

Value mapping.

hi
sdn experts,
could you please explain about value mapping?
where the value mapping is used?
thanks in advance.

Hi Chinna Rao,
Value mapping means mapping the data of some source fields to some target fields, in this mapping data can be transform in the format you required for your target system. You can do a value mapping simply by graphical mapping, using UDF etc
Go thru this thread which talks about value mapping:
Value mapping
Value mapping : value mapping function to map different representations of an object to each other. You save the mapping rules for different objects in a value mapping table.
we have two types ,
And Value mapping is used to map different representations of an object to each other.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/9202d890-0201-0010-1588-adb5e89a6638
You can do value mapping both in IR and ID

Accessing Party identifiers using value mapping

Hello
Does anyone know if it is possible to access identifiers defined under a party using a value mapping (in my case from an xslt mapping calling a java function, but it doesn't really matter I guess).
For party ADVDENV_US I have the following identifiers:

INTERNAL GLN 1806367142
At runtime I have value 1806367142 and I would like to retreive the value ADVDENV_US in order to perform dynamic receiver determination... would that work?
Thanks

Grégory,
If you wish to use identifier during the java mapping then check in below mention value mapping java docs.

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 and graphical mapping

Hi all
I am learning value mapping and
all function used in graphical mapping ..
can anybody send me inforamtion regarding tht.
Any link appericiated.

Hi Nagsen,
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
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:

most of the links that I have provided also helps you get the step by step procedure of doing the same. And also involves the procedure to implement certain advanced features.
Hope this clears your doubt fully.

UKMS versus Value Mapping versus Z tables ?

Hello,
has someone already made a choice whether to use UKMS or Value Mapping or Z Tables to do mapping or filtering of data ?
If yes, what were the reasons to go for one or the other solution ?
- both UKMS / Value Mapping provide key-pair mappings
- UKMS can be called via RFC or out of XSLT. (Out of User-Defined function I am not sure)
- Value Mapping can at least be called out of graphical mapping
- the UKMS / Value Mapping approach looks very similar to me.
- Z Tables might be more flexibel in defining the structure required
- is there a caching advantage in one of these solutions ?
many thx in advance
Uwe

Hi Uwe Knöfel ,
has someone already made a choice whether to use UKMS or Value Mapping or Z Tables to do mapping or filtering of data ?
Usually YES, XI Architect will decide what to follow..
If yes, what were the reasons to go for one or the other solution ?
Mostly it depends upon Complexity,Kind and Volume of data.Suppose there is less volume of data and simple processing is needed we may go for Value mapping than Ztables.
+ is there a caching advantage in one of these solutions ?+
May not..

Ramesh
