Is graphical mapping best for a large IDoc mapping to file?

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have to map an IDoc to a file and 450+ lines are mandatory or needed to go a file output. A lot of the lines need some value mapping. Is XSLT or Java mapping better for this task?

Hi,

Internally Graphical mapping is converted to java code itself and executed in java stack...

To ease out the mapping implementation SAP has provided graphical mappings..

If there are lot of validations to be done...and better to go with java and if your knowledge on java is good...else try to avoid java mapping and go for graphical mapping as it will help for the next person who may need to work..and they are not strong enough on java.also..

Try with Graphical Mapping in your case and if you think any performce issues then go with JAVA Mapping.

To achive your requirement with JAVA Mapping you have to write big java code and challeming here is implementing Value mapping functionality.

Hi,

If you require to do a lot of lookups and for large payloads, it would make sense to go for a Java mapping as in this case it would improve performance to some extent.

For large messages, please refer the follwong link to improve system performance.

Hi John,

If your system is well tuned to process huge loads/has good performance then you can proceed with graphical mapping ....else Java mapping would suite the best.

I prefer Java mapping for better performance

Graphical mapping is the best in this case. Any how to call value mapping functionality even in XSLT & JAVA mapping as well.
