Mapping an XML structure into one field

[Former Member]

Hey experts,

I'm facing a problem in message mapping on XI 7.0 in an IDOC to SOAP scenario.

The source message is a deep and complex structure, the target message has only one field.

Is there a way to create an XML string from the source and put it into the target field?

Let me give an example.

1. the source message:

<src>
  <el1>
    <el11> txt1 </el11>
    <el12> txt2 </el12>
    <el13>
      <el131> txt3 </el131>
    </el13>
    <el13>
      <el131> txt4 </el131>
    </el13>
  </el1>
</src>

2. the target message should be like this:

<target>
  <el2>
    <![CDATA[<el1><el11> txt1 </el11><el12> txt2 </el12><el13><el131> txt3 </el131></el13><el13><el131> txt4 </el131></el13></el1>
  

]]>

Is there a way maybe via UDF to do this?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

Thanks AmitSri,

this combination of graphical mapping and XSLT looks exactly like what I was looking for.

I think trying to create a pure UDF mapping with contexts would be a bad idea due to the complexity of our structures (and simple concatenating won't work at all).

thx @ abhishek salvi, too, although that PI 7.1 feature probably wouldn't run on our 7.0.

Hello,

It is possible using UDF. Concatenate all the children tags and assign it to the target field in the target structure.

Make use of XSLT mapping (available on SDN...just search with CDATA...i think there is a new feature in PI7.1 (Copy XMl to subtree....something like that).
