Combining two messages into one

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have a mapping issue, I have a business process in which I have to combine two messages into one.

To do so, I have defined a message mapping in which there are two source message types, and one target message type.

When testing the message mapping in the IR, it works fine, but when I define and test an interface mapping with that same message mapping, I receive this error message:

"Cannot produce target element /ns0:Messages/ns0Message1/MY_IDOC_TYPE/MY_SEGMENT. Check xml instance is valid for source xsd and target-field mapping fulfills requirements of target xsd."

What am I doing wrong ?

How am I supposed to combine two messages into one ?

Thanks,

Elad.

Check in the BPM monitor for the container object of the mapping source, if they are filled correctly.

Take the messages within these container objects as input for the mapping test.

Hi Elad,

Just see if you have included both you source message interfaces and one target nessage interface correctly in while doing your interface mapping.....

The most common mistake made when we do scenarios which include combination of two source message types into one target type are:

- we forget to include both the source message interfaces.

- or we interchange between one of the source message interface with the target.

Just see if either of the 2 is aplicable in your case and just activate all components as and when you create them..

Hi,

Check the occurence of the "Message1" in the target side.

You need to apply a mapping to the "Message1" on the target side that determines the occurence of the target message. This error occurs whenever, no target element is created but some inner element is created.

Hi,

When I change the occurance of my message type, the mapping doesn't produce error but also doesn't realy produce the target message.

When I look in the container of the mapping step, the outbound message (target) doesn't contain anything.

How should I define the occurance of my target message ?

Does it matter what is the occurance definition of my source messages ?

Thanks,

Hi,

What version of XI are you currently using? As far as I know, you can only map 2 messages into 1 using the graphical mapper from SP14 onwards.

I had a similar problem and am on SP13, so I had to use a java mapping to solve this problem.

Hope that this helps,

Miguel

Hi Elad,

control (change) the occurance of interfaces of the interface mapping.
