Multi mapping pre requisite with MT from diff SWCV's

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

I am doing multimapping with MessageTypes(Source & target) from diff swcvs. And my mapping in another(or 3rd Swcv).

While saving the mapping I got Message type(source/target) not found issue.

From PI7.1 help I got the following, which is little confusing.

link - [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/EN/21/6faf35c2d74295a3cb97f6f3ccf43c/frameset.htm]

<<<The following restriction applies for the source and target messages that you reference from a message mapping: the source and target messages can be in a different software component version to the message mapping, but must each originate from one software component version (and, if applicable, underlying software component versions). >>>

So I tried the following to solve this issue -

1.Added underlying swcvs in Messasge Mapping SWCV with source/target SWCV. -- Issues got solved.

2.Removed Underlying SWCVs in message mapping kept source/target MTs in same swcv (offcourse other than message mapping swcv)

-- Giving me same Issue like Source/Taget MT is not found.

Can some one ellaborate me on why I am getting an issue in the option-2?

Normally you can select messages from other SWCVs in mappings...it should not be different in multi-mappings.

Still if you want, you can define dependency between the source/ target SWCVs and your mapping SWCV (3rd SWCV uses objects of Source_SWCV and Target_SWCV).....dependency is defined in SLD....there is a blog by Michal (or can even search SDN) on how to define dependency.

Hi Abhisek,

Thanks for you reply.

Yes, u r correct, i have also thought the same, but it is giving an issue with mutimapping, thats the reaosn i have opened this thread.

I have done the same and now it has resolved the issue.

But my inital question still remains.. why we need SWCV dependency for multimapping alone.

As per help, if you have Source in SWCV1, target messages in SWCV2 and mapping in SWCV3 then it complies with the pre-requisites.

Are you trying to have Target1 from SWCV2...Target2 from SWCV4...something like this? It is not supported.

But when i change it to 1.. unbounded It is showing error, " message tyep ***** not found"

From your other thread....how could you set 1..unbounded......i have only three options 1, 0..1 and 0..unbounded.

Try to delete your mapping and create a new one...save and activate the message types/ external definitions before you proceed with mapping.

I tried the same on my PI7.11 and did not get any error (no dependency defined).

thats type... it should be 0.. unbounded..

still i am confused and unable to understand.. why it does not show any error , when we choose occurence as 1 and why shows error when i choose 0.1 or 0 to unbounded.

is it a bug in Multimapping???

I feel that it is a bug in your system....I was able to play with occurences and still able to save the multi-mapping....i would suggest that if you do not get required response from SDN, then its better to raise an OSS note.
