Merging Different structures during Mapping

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I've the following scenario. I've got 2 files with 2 different structures

File 1 -> <ID>

<NAME>

File 2 -> <NUM>

<DATE>

I need to perform a mapping to a structure as follows

<NEW STRUCT>

<ID>

<NAME>

<NUM>

<DATE>

Can this be during in the mapping?

Do I need to perform 2 message mappings? i.e, one for File 1 structure and another for File 2 structure?

Hope my query is clear.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You can load both the structures in the same mapping and put the third structure in the target.

You can load multiple Message types in single mapping , you dont require to have two mappings.

Hi,

You mean to put both structures in the Source?

Hi...

No need to perform 2 message mappings.You can achieve this in one mapping itself.

In message mapping, got to messsages Tab. There you can add 2 source message types and output file in the target message .

Then, you can do normal mapping.

Name--Name

ID---ID

Num--Num

Date--Date.

Your mapping will be executed.

If you are using PI 7.1, then you cant find message tab in the message mapping, instead you can find signature tab. There you can add the source messages.

Hi,

You can go to the messages tab in message mapping and click add icon.

With that, you can add multiple source messages or multiple target messages.

Hi Yu,

you can do that if you create only ONE datatype for file1 and file2. You mark all fields as optional (occurence 0-1) and use this for a multiline container, where you receive the two different messages and merge them later.

Use N:1 multi-mapping. U will have to use BPM in this case as there are more than 1 source system.
