Hi Sowmya,

you can use value mapping inside BPM (transformation step) or outside (normal mapping), the value mapping itself will follow the same logic, there is no difference.

Hi,

Your question is not very clear. Let me know how you want to use Value mapping?

You can implement value mapping in two ways..

1. Value Mapping Replecation Method, in which we create ABAP program (outbound proxy) in R3 which selects data from R3 tables and sends into XI, and which get stored in XI JAVA Cache untill you run the ABAP program next time which is very rare. This kind of method is best when you have large amount of R3 data.

2. If you have some data which is used just to varify the conditions at run time then in that case we go for Value Mapping creation in Integration Directiory. Below mentiond blog will give an idea how to use Value mapping in ID.

Value Mapping is used in Graphical Mapping which gives the value at run time only, so you cannot test it in TEST Tab of message mapping.

So as per you question, BPM can come into picture later on after you maintain the value mapping in ID and do the corresponding mapping in IR.
