Hi There,

As others have mentioned there are 4 kinds of mappings that you might use in your XI integration scenario.

Most of the times you can use any mapping type if not always to achieve a particular result. It comes down to what language you are comfortable with.

How to use XSLT mapping:

1) First create a .xsl file.

2)They zip your .xsl file.

3)Then right click on imported archives under mapping objects, and select new.

4)Import your zip file you created in step 2.

5) Then use this imported archive in Interface mapping or Message mapping.

6) You might use XSLT mapping to make changes from Source to Target or from target to taarget. (Check out Michael's Blog: /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/01/xi-xml-node-into-a-string-with-graphical-mapping)

Hope this might be useful

Hi,

For your Information XSLT Mapping consumes more memory.it takes time when the Data is huge.

Hi,

There are 4 type of mapping

1. Graphical Mapping

2. ABAP Mapping

3. Java Mapping

4. XSLT mapping

Each mapping has its own advantages and they are used depending on the requirements.

Hi,

Lets take up a example:

Say you have a structure like this

<root>

<name>SAP</name>

<dept>Dept</dept>

<country>India</country>

</root>

Now I wat a output like this

<target>

<stru>

<name>SAP</name>

<dept>Dept</dept>

<country>India</country>

</stru>

</target>

But my target strucuture is like this

target

-stru

I mean I want to have all the nodes with tags inside my stru field..Think of how can u do this...

XSLT helps to do this easily... its simple and easy in XSLT. The same this to do in Graphical mapping is very tedious.

So when ever there is kind of formating needed in the structure XSLT can be used to achieve the same easily.

You can check my blog to know the advantage of XSLT

Think of doing the same using Graphical mapping..
