Changing datatype, afterwards Message-Mapping cannot produce target element

[Former Member]

Hi,

we use PI/700.

I changed a working system by changing a datatype of an existing message (adding a new element). My interface mapping contains two mappings: an XSL-Mapping and afterwards a Message-Mapping.

My interface mapping looks like this:

Message-Type A ->

XSL-Mapping ->

Message-Type B ->

Message-Mapping ->

Message-Type B

When I test each mapping alone everything works fine (with the new element I added).

But if I test my interface mapping in IBD with both mappings together, I'll get an error:

"Cannot produce target element /MT_EDM_OUTBOUND_LASTGANG_TO_SAP/LASTGANG/MASSEINHEIT. Check xml instance is valid for source xsd and target-field mapping fulfills requirements of target xsd".

Is it possible that XI has problems in refreshing the XSDs?

I tried this:

(1) I changed my Message-Mapping and now all elements are mapped 1:1 -> no success!

(2) Later I changed my Message-Mapping and build in "exists" with "if" to check whether the element "MASSEINHEIT" is generated by the XSL-Mapping -> It doesn't exists (??? - WHY? - when I test it, everything works fine)

(2) Afterwards I changed my interface mapping and take only the XSL-Mapping (without the following Message-Mapping) -> the element "MASSEINHEIT" exists now!

I'm totally confused!

Any ideas?

Hi,

If you have made structural changes to the data type..such as number of fields have decreased/increased..or some new fld altogether, then you have to activate the datatype..goto message mapping and then re-do the mapping...but if you have made "typo" changes like names have been changed, etc..then i think it should be alrite..i have sometimes made changes to my datatype, but after activating it, i had to redo the mapping..that was it!...the rest would fall into place:) No changes had to be made in the interface mapping..

Hi,

thanx a lot for all your help - but I have no success!

Now I start from scratch and create the whole objects new - :-((

Hope it'll work ... or I'll come back to this forum

Hi,

Don't do that. Just reactivate your Message mapping and Interface mapping .

Also, if you are using the IM in the Integration directory , just do a dummy change and reactivate that too.

It should work fine

Hi,

Whenever you change the source datatype, even if you activate it, you need to reload the message type in your message mapping.

Try doing this.

First try a cache refresh in SXI_CACHE.

Next make sure your change is reflected in your MT, MI and MM etc. Independently test the mappings and IMs.
