Element Cardinality

[Former Member]

Hi,

I got some questions on Element cardinality:

1) If a Source message occurs 3 times, target only once, what is wrong?

2) In mapping if source element has one element and if there are 3 occurrences for target element, what might have happened?

a) At Sender set minoccurs = 3. (True / False)

b) At sender set maxoccurs = 3. (True / False)

c) Receiver set minoccurs = 3. (True / False)

d) Receiver set maxoccurs = 3. (True / False)

3) In simple mapping - one source results in 4 identical target messages, with regarding cardinality what is the problem?

I always seem to be gettin confused on these..

can any one please explain the above questions...

any links for better understanding is appreciated

Hi,

There is nothing wong. If the target occurance max is one then only the first value will go

<i>2) In mapping if source element has one element and if there are 3 occurrences for target element, what might have happened?

Just keep min occurance 0 and max unbounded

Please go through this URL. Gives a clear idea on cardinality.
