condition flag in message mapping

[rajan_s]

I am trying to create flag in Message Mapping with the following condition from Legacy - XI - R/3:

If there are <b>new</b> customers from source, then pass <b>N</b> flag to Target.

If there are <b>changes</b> to existing customers, then pass <b>U</b> flag to Target.

Can anybody give me steps on how I can accomplish this in message mapping?

Thanks.

Rajan,

If I understood correctly...

In both the cases, the data that u get from the legacy system will be different. ie for a new customer u will receive all the data including Name, contact address etc. But in the case of an update, u will receive only the data that's been changed.

Hi,

As per the given info

This condition, you can do with If-Else logic in the mapping. But think about other 2 cases mentioned .

1)I hope you will get source info thru file from Legacy system.

If so, just write a Adapter Module in the Sender Adapter, and set the Flag there itself. Then just map as it is . Provided you are able to differentiate these 2 types from the file itself.

2)In another thought, how are you finding out who is new customer/Changes ? Are you using any Lookups in the Mapping..

This flag will turn on or turn off other flags on the source side and will send appropriate data (New or Update) to the target system.

brief the entire scenario.. As I already mentioned 2 ways..

From source file, a flag has to pass either U or N to the target system field. So I created If/then/Else mapping where if the source file has flag as U then it will send blank space or blank value; otherwise the default value N will be sent. But when I run the test file, I am getting message mapping error. Where could I go wrong in mapping? Is there any blog or message thread anyone can give?

HI Rajan,

What is the error ?

Can you test your mapping in the IR with Test Tab by providing input xml from the SXMB_MONI.

For this you can refer this-

/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/09/16/xi-how-to-test-your-mapping-in-real-life-scenarios

Also make sure that , your xml structure is valid.

Hi Moorthy:

Thanks for your prompt reply. I was able to fix the problem. The error I was getting was MAPPING> EXCEPTION_DURING_EXECUTE - RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformation, because I had equal function mapping from boolean instead of text function. That solved the problem.

Can you elaborate more on ur scenario ?
