Hi,

<b>1) Whats the purpose of conversion function and In which scenarion we gor for Conversion Functions...</b>

There are no conversion funcitons. There is a conversion agent where you will use this when you want to convert any documents like PDF etc into xml. Then you will use it. To use this you have to install this in XI. for this:

all docs can be found here:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/4c38c4cf105f85e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm

SAP conversion agent it a tool that helps to convert unstructured data

(like EDI messages, work files, pdf files etc) into XI (or from XI)

you just use an IDE to develop the program that you can later on

put inside the adapter module (for fiel adapter for example)

so no programming (as it's drag and drop)

for many documents

<b>2) Whats the use of mapping Pattern... and which scenarion we use</b>

There is nothing like mapping pattern. just let us know what you are talking about or where you have heard about this?

<b>3) Whats the status of the messages in the message monitoring table.</b>

1.Status: TO_BE_DELIVERED

Which means that the message was successfully delivered from Integration Server point of view and it states that the messages is initially handed over to the Messaging System.

TO_BE_DELIVERED occurs while the message is put into the Messaging System receive queue.

2.Status: WAITING

The message had been sent and it is failed and is currently waiting for another attempt.

3.Status: HOLDING

The state of an EOIO message that cannot be delivered until its predecessors have been delivered.

4.Status: DELIVERING

The state of message when it has popped out of the Messaging queuing system and is in the process of being transmitted across the system or delivered to an application.

5.Status: SYSTEM ERROR

These error messages occur during transfer due to a failed server or abnormal operation on a consistent database instance. With some errors, an implicit Shutdown is performed.

6.Status: APPLICATION ERROR

The Subtree containing errors that are reported in the namespaces of applications (software component versions) that sends or receives XML messages using Exchange Infrastructure.

7.Status: CANCELED WITH ERRORS

The state assigned to a message when an administrator decides to abort sending the message, or when a message could not be delivered due to a fatal exception that cannot be repaired.

Hi,

1) Whats the purpose of conversion function and In which scenarion we gor for Conversion Functions...

Function Category: Conversions

FixValues

Executes a value mapping using a fixed value table that you complete using the function properties. The table is saved together with the most current message mapping and can only be used once.

Value mapping

Executes a value mapping for the value I entered. In the function attributes, assign the both input value I and source value O to a representation in the value-mapping table. In this way, you can assign source and target structure fields to a representation. You complete the value-mapping table on the configuration maintenance screen in the Integration Builder. Since these entries are not available at design time, the mapping result is just an estimate when you test the message mapping. See also Value Mapping

Note

The runtime interface for value mappings has changed for XI 3.0. However, XI 2.0 message mappings that call the Value Mapping function still function using the old runtime interface. To use the function parameters in the new runtime interface, choose XI 3.0 Interface.

In the function properties for the standard function Value mapping, in the fields Agency and Schema, enter the key for the source or target value. These values can have any values. However, you can also refer to the fields SenderParty, SenderService, ReceiverParty or ReceiverService. The mapping runtime replaces these values at runtime with the values from the corresponding fields in the message header of the message for which a value mapping is being executed.

Note

In the field Agency you can also enter the name of a business system. When transporting value mappings from one Integration Directory to another, the Integration Builder sees if you have entered a business system as the agency and converts it during the transport (see also: Configuring Groups and Transport Targets).

2) Whats the use of mapping Pattern... and which scenarion we use

3) Whats the status of the messages in the message monitoring table.

To this already explained aboveis correct..
