Variables in target mapping

[former_member187587]

Can Variables in target mapping can be used in the deefinition of another target field.

for example:

target variable - *var1(with initialized value )

target variable - *var1 ->substring(0,3) -> *var2

cheers.

If you are using PI 7.0, then you can use UDF to achieve this.

function myudf(String a,String b,Container container)

{

String b = "";

//Modify the contents of a.

b = a.substring(0,3);

if (b=="1")

return a;

if (b=="2")

return b;

}

a---> MyUdf-->var1

b(1)--

a---> MyUdf-->var2

b(2)--

thanks Gabriel but I'm trying to figure out the usage limitations with this feature in PI 7.1.

Later I'll found work around.

thanks for the effort though

Hi Nimrod,

Check this for PI 7.1

Dear Sachin,

I'm familiar with this document.

but it has no clue regarding my proplem.

Hi,

Check page no. 8, Where it talks about Graphical variables which can store an intermidiate result in message mapping... I think this should help.

see my original post Sachin.

even a simple test like that failed.

[former_member187587]

Opened product error for SAP.

if you experiance the same problem still let me know.

thank you all for the effort.

Hi Nimrod,

You can achieve this either by using same mapping logic + substring function to use first target value for the second target.

Or

You can make use of Edit Java Section, there you can store the output of first target in a variable and then can reuse that according to your requirement.

Check Edit Java Section in

Thanks!

Hi all,

We are using the SAP PI 7.1 SP6.

I'm trying to avoid running the same mapping (especially when using lookups) to

hold the value as a variable.

problem happened when I use one variable (with substring for example)to help define another variable.

If you have experienced this specific behavior or created a small test and faced the same problems your solution will be most welcome.

Hi Nimrod,

Which version of PI you are using? In PI7.1 had this option in Graphical message mapping.

Use global variable for such operations. If you are using PI 7.1, then you may use "Add Variable" option for storing intermediate mapping results.
