Java Mapping Initialization

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have heard that with SP16 there are special initialization methods invoked before a mapping transformation is done. Does anybody know if this is true? If yes, where can I find documentation about this topic? I haven't found anything in SAP HELP yet.

Cheers,

Heiko

Hi Heiko,

I think these Java Sections are introduced from SP14.

You can find this on the Graphical mapping window.

This is what XI Doc says:

<b>Edit Java Sections</b>

Use this function to specify global variables and additional Java sections for all Java functions. First the mapping runtime includes the Java packages specified under Imports. You can enter the same packages entered for a user-defined function. Then the mapping runtime declares the variables entered as global variables and executes the sections in the following order:

1. Initialization section

2. Message mapping

3. Cleanup section

Please refer the following link for More details:
