BackUp graphical mapping in PI 7.1

[Former Member]

Hi every one,

I am trying to save .mte of an existing graphical map in PI 7.1. I could do it in PI 7.0 using - key combination of -

CTRL + SHIFT + Right click - when I select "Export" - it would prompt for File Save option - to save .mte file on the local machine.

When I tried the same thing in PI 7.1, there is no "Export" option.

Can anyone help me please.

Hey Shewta,

Here is another issue & you seem to have helped someone before in one of the forums:

I am having problem with namespaces & prefixes.

I have a xml that looks somewhat like this:

- <ns1:ExecuteXMLRequest

xmlns:ns1="http://decisionintellect.com/inteport/">

- <ns1:_sRequestXML>

- <ns1:inteflow>

+ <ns1:request cd_type="submit">

- <ns1:user>

<ns1:id_oper>INTERFACE</ns1:id_oper>

<ns1:tx_password>password</ns1:tx_password>

I want to remove all the namesspace prefixes (ns1) except namespace

itself:

xmlns:ns1="http://decisionintellect.com/inteport/

I have tried using anonymizer bean with below config as per your blog:

process seq:

1 AF_Modules/XMLAnonymizerBean LocalEnterprise Bean 0

Module config:

0 anonymizer.acceptNamespaces //decisionintellect.com/inteport ''

0 anonymizer.quote '

but adapter is stripping prefixes including the namespace too.

Output looks like this:

<SOAP:Envelope xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

<SOAP:Header />

- <SOAP:Body>

- <ExecuteXMLRequest> -

---

namespace stripped -

---

- <_sRequestXML>

- <inteflow>

- <request cd_type="submit">

- <user>

<id_oper>INTERFACE</id_oper>

<tx_password>password</tx_password>

Can you please help?

We are using PI 7.1 support patch 7

Hey Shewta,

I have configured a new web service interface which is sync.

I am able to send the request successfully to thirdparty but response is error:

Any clues?

Tried searching in message monitoring for above id but no luck.

Hey Shewta,

I was able to convert .xim to .xls file. I was under the impression it will have java code inside it but unfortunately I can't use that excel to speed up things at all.

Will try to locate the file with actual code somewhere on server I guess when get some free time.

Hi Giuseppe,

I have got about 50 source & target fields which are exactly the same. However, I can't do one to one mapping on them.

The mapping that I am trying to achive is:

IfS (string name) notequals constant (left blank) then (string name) = (string name).

In english, if the source field (string name) is not empty/blank that's only when you want to send it but if it is empty/blank then nothing is sent (not even the field tags (string name).

I only want to send the field tags if there is some data in it otherwise no field tags should be sent.

I am supposed to apply this same rule on more then 50 fields which is pain if done in graphical way. I am just trying to find quicker way (like do graphical mapping for one field & find java code & paste it for rest - if it's possible).

Hi Shewta,

I used the link you mentioned & it gives me back a zip file which when unzipped has got few folders & files in it.

Folder names as follows:

_rels

docprops

xl

which contains couple of files. However, I can't find an excel file with java code in it. I have opened all the files but no luck.

Hello Jasmeet,

Ideally you should get an Excel as mentioned in the screenshot above.

Which option did you try? Excel 2007? can you try with Excel 5 and let us know if you get an Excel with mapping description.

Shweta

Yea, thts good enough if you have 15/20 fields to map. Everytime we configure new interface there are atleast 50 to map & if mapping is same for all then you should be able to do graphical mapping for one & find out java code generated & use that for rest.

I was trying to find software thats able to open .xim extensions (file I exported from PI) but no luck. Please let me know if are aware of one.

Ta,

Jas

[shweta_walaskar2]

Hi Jasmeet,

As Pothana mentioned,there is no standard way to do this.

Still,if you want to open .xim files to check out java code,use this:

http://figaf.com/services/pi-documenter.html

Here you get PI mapping in the form of Excel with java code details.

Hi Jasmeet

Java code is generated from the graphical mapping. If you change the java code, then it will get overwritten.

Since you are using PI 7.1 you can group target fields and just map your rule to all the target fields.

Check the "Target-Field Mappings with Multiple Target Fields" section on this page:

Hi Shewta,

Thanks for quick reply. That made it work. However I have another question:

I have got about 50 different fields for which I need to do repeated graphical mapping again & again (same for all the fields). The easiest way I found so far is to copy path & insert in next field & just change the field names.

I was wondering if there is quick way to write a java code which will map all the fields (as graphical mapping is same for all of them except the field names).

Hope I have explained it properly. I am pretty new to SAP world.

That's the reason I was trying to export the mapping to look at code. If you can shed some light on it, that would be great

Jas

>>way I found so far is to copy path & insert in next field & just change the field names.

Easiest, Simple and Fast. There is no standard provision provided by SAP.

HI,

I am not able to export PI mapping too. No export option listed.

Tried crtl + shift + 0 but nothing happens. Can anyone suggest a way to export the mapping so that I can look at the code.

Ta,

Jas

Naveen,

When I tried the same thing in PI 7.1, there is no "Export" option.

SAP has disabled this export/import functionality of .mte files with PI 7.1x.

But, you can still use CTRL + SHIFT + 0. This will open up a new window where you will find the export icon. This will save the mapping in .XIM format. Similar way you can import there.

Hi Neetesh,

The XIM format export - is Binary - so practically useless - I have a source IDoc that just need to be replaced by a custom z extension (that Development missed..) - when I replace the source - all the field level graphical mappings are lost !

Do you've more ideas on how to exprt to ASCII so I can make this minor change in the source and re-import it back in PI 7.11 ?

Best regards,

Mustafa,

I am not aware of exporting / importing ASCII formats for mapping, I think there is no way of doing it but might be I am wrong.
