N:1 Mapping in PI 7.1

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a scenario on PI 7.1 (RFC to file) where I need to map the RFC node to target node and also a value to target node.

RFC Data Type

-

---

T_CUSTOMER DT_CUSTOMER (Element with data type as x:string)

KUNNR NAME1 (attribute to DT_CUSTOMER)

NAME1

T_CUSTOMER is mapped to DT_CUSTOMER since it is a table, source NAME1 is mapped to target NAME1. I need to map source KUNNR to target DT_CUSTOMER. I need to generate the output XML as below.

<DT_CUSTOMER Name1 = "Test Customer1">CUSTOMER1</DT_CUSTOMER>

<DT_CUSTOMER Name1 = "Test Customer2">CUSTOMER2</DT_CUSTOMER>

<DT_CUSTOMER Name1 = "Test Customer3">CUSTOMER3</DT_CUSTOMER>

I am aware that N:1 mapping can be achieved using BPM, but would like to know if it can be done without BPM.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks

Tony

For N:1 mapping you need to go for BPM however 1:N mapping is possible without BPM

Thank you everyone for your input.

I will go with BPM.

to clarify

source structure is T_CUSTOMER (0..Unbounded) with elements KUNNR and NAME1

Target structure is DT_CUSTOMER(0..Unbounded) with element NAME1

Target structure DT_CUSTOMER is of type x:string and can accept a value for itself.

Thanks for your help in advance!

IMO, N:1 mapping without BPM is not possible.

Hi,

N:1 mapping can not be achieved without BPM. You will have to use a BPM in this case to collect the sender messages.

For BPM collection patterns, refer to the Basis componenet, namespace : http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Patterns for sample scenarios.
