How to get mapping rules into XI

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

In my requirement, i have a webdynpro application which will provide options to do mapping between source and destination structure and it'll generate a file with set of rules for mapping.

Once that is done, I wanted to use those rules in XI at runtime during mapping transformation. Is it possible to do?

May sound abstract, let me know if u require any more details.

Thanks & regards,

Senthil.

it's not possible to do mappings via API in XI/PI so would require

lots of development I'm affraid

Thanks Michal.

I agree that it requires lot of development. My webdnpro team is saying that they can handle. What they wanted to know is, in which format does xi require? and how xi will catch the file that has rules at runtime?

Is it possible for XI to use that data for mapping at runtime?

By the wat you didnt post the mappingrules ,

Normally PI converts data into XML format internally,its also possible to handle flatfile data.

so its better if webdynpro can provide data in XML format itself.

Nice idea. Could you give us a sample file that the web dynpro application generates? Unless we know the way the rules are represented.. it might not be possible to comment on..
