Is your input file XML? In that case, what encoding header has the XML file?

If the encoding header is not UTF-8, check if the character set is installed on OS system, where PI is running.

Hi Stefan

yes my input file is XML. Below is the xml header from PI MONI.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

Hi Abhinav,

it seems its a data problem, first you have to check what data send to receiver and check Data Types what type you have specifide weather it is string or int check it once.

check once file you have placed.

I hope you have placed correct file in as source.

Hi All

I am using External Definitions both on the source and target side. All the fields are of type XSD:String only.

I ahve checked the file and its is a correct file.

I have taken the source payload from PI MONI and have executed it in test Tab of ESR, and its showing sucess, there are no erros being shown in the mapping.

please help

hi,

As your mapping test is ok, maybe it's an issue of Encoding between your source and your target.

In MONI, when you select your erroneous message, click on "detail" button and then go on "error" level in tree.

What is the COMPLETE error message ?

Normally you have something like: <SAP:Category>...<SAP:Code area="....> ..... for instance.

This info can help you to know WHERE is the error.

Hi Nabhi, according to the error message, checks the TRX ST22 of SAP System and finds the dump error related with process.

Later, checks the TRX WE20 and finds the info of your IDOC, and I need known the option is selected from "processing function modules via".

Hi, according your last post, it probably, the error is a some data type, from target or source.

Tips

• If The error is target Data type or source data type, the solution it would need use mapping.

• Please, show the Payload from Sxi_moni, With this, we finds the posible error of data type that produce the dump. This info can help you to know WHERE is the error.

Regards.

Could you check your settings in SM59 for the RFC destinition which is assigned to your IDoc adapter.

Check unicode flag and logon language.

I assume that your target system is non.unicode.

hi,

in your source Data Type, which kind of field type have you choosen (String)?

After that, in your Mapping check if your Target fields have the same type of Source.

reminds: in SXMB_MONI you download your source XML message and use it in ESR to test your mapping.

regards

If you do not convert the file, you can sets the parameters of content conversion from CC Sender
