Hi,

latest version is 7.1 and a mandatory field has to get filled with data.

If you have for example two messages:

M1:

><root>

><dt1> text </dt1>

></root>

M2:

><root>

></root>

In case dt1 is optional both messages are valid, but if dt1 is mandatory only M1 is valid.

Regards

Patrick

Hi,

1. The latest version is PI7.1.

2. The occurance in data type decides wether the field is mandatory or not. If the occurance is 1:1 then it means the field is mandatory and that means it should be mapped with some field in order to complete the mapping as well as it is neccessary that there should a value in the field othrewise your mapping will fail.

If the occurance is o..unbounded then it means that the field is optional. So even if you don't map the field there will be no problem or if mapped and there is no data coming in this field then also no problem.

If the occurance is 1:1 then the color of field will be red.

thank you for the reply.

I have one more doubt. If two structures are same and it does not required mapping. So we have to put occurance 0..un or o..1, right?

[Former Member]

It doesn't matter, since there will be no mapping.

hi

latest version is PI7.1(based on ESOA architechture)

ocuurance determines the number of values an element is capable for taking

mandatory determines that the element should be mapped in the message mapping , rather the mapping is incomplete[

optional is opposite to mandatory
