XSL Mapping: How to make a "max()" function

[Former Member]

Hi all,

In XSL 2.0 we have many usefull functions, like max, avg, etc... Is there a way to implement this kind of functions in XI? We are using XI 3.0 with WAS 7.

Thansk!

Hi,

You can use this in XSLT mapping and condition editor

Thanks for your reply,

I'm talking about XSL Mapping. I know we have many functions (and the possibility of creating new functions with Java) in XI Mapping, but I have a very complex message, with many xsd:anyType in the schema.

First, I couldn'd find a way to use xsd:anyTupe in XI DataTypes. So, I couldn't use XI Mapping.

Second, I made a XSL Mapping. In this mapping, I need to get the maximum value from an atribute.

With XSLT tools that support XSL 2.0 I can use the xsl:max function. But I think that XI doesn't support XSL 2.0, only 1.0 functions work properly.

So, I would like to ask you if some of you know a way to make a "max" function with xsl 1.0, or, if some of you have an idea on how to make XI "understand" xsl 2.0.

Vijaya, what is "XSLT mapping and condition editor". Where can I find it?

Thanks!

Hi,

From SAP:

<i>Below is a description of one of the ways that the SAP J2EE Engine supports the XML Toolkit 2.0.</i>

Hi all,

I've found a solution to the problem! Look at this:

<xsl:for-each select="/element/@attribute">

<xsl:sort data-type="number" order="descending" />

<xsl:if test="position() = 1">

<xsl:value-of select="number(.)" />

</xsl:if>

</xsl:for-each>

This does almost the same that a MAX function in XSL 2.0 do. It gets the major value in the node "element" for the "attribute".

thanks for your trying!

cheers!

Hi Roberti,

There are predefined function in the Message Mapping tool within the XI, also you can create your own Java function in the messaging tool itself.

Hi ,

In XI you can use Min , max etc functions in message mapping under arthimetic functions ( all the functions are like a node in mapping ).
