Idoc to file

[Former Member]

hi all

Am doing an idoc to file scenario. In this from idoc i wanna map to a structure like this

<E1KNA1M>

structure1

</E1KNA1M>

<E1KNA1M>

structure 2

</E1KNA1M>

Is it possible to have a structure like his in xi. Like nodes with same name and different structure. PLz help

Hi,

Yes it can be possible .. provided if you have the node occurrences multiple >0 or 0.. unbound..

Only thing is you have to duplicate the node and map source to target with MM functions or as per your requirement..

I hope you got it or ..

please explain bit more with your example ..

Hi Sumayya,

Can you please elaborate your requirement.

Bcz you can never create a Data type with same node names.

my source structure is

<EDI_DC40>

structure1

</EDI_DC40>

<E1KNA1M>

structure2

</E1KNA1M>

from this i ve to create the target as i explained above

[Former Member]

Hi Sumanya,

see your target structure of one node having 2 different structure is not possible in XI.........

so you can have a target struc like below:

<CONTROL_DATA>

structure1

</CONTROL_DATA>

<E1KNA1M>

structure2

</E1KNA1M>

Thanks,

U cannot have two strucutre with the same name...say u have this strucure in a data type source_DT...u cannot create the same data type but u can copy the sub nodes of source_DT totarget_DT and use it...the same applies for ur scenario also

[Former Member]

But from xi the output is read by MDM server. So it requires this format. and throwing error is some other name comes for that node

[prabhu_s2]

if u want ur target have the same strucutre as of ur source then u can skip mapping. just use the source idoc alone. mapping can be skipped if no manuplations are done and source and target have the same data type.

so thru this way u have target and soruce share the same data type...or if u got some manuplation to be done use the same soruce structure in the target messaeg type also !!!

Hi,

Use Java Mapping.

Java Mapping does not validate the output of the mapping against the correspondiong Target Message Type.

Hi Sumaya,

Ok......then create a target struc like below:

<CONTROL_DATA>

structure1

</CONTROL_DATA>

<E1KNA1M>

structure2

</E1KNA1M>

do mapping...... generate this target output....... now create a J2EE adapter module by seeing the below link:

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/3bdc14e1-0901-0010-b5a9-a01...

in this module, change the name of node CONTROL_DATA to E1KNA1M.... then in the reciever file adapter call this module.........then your requiered target file for MDM will be generated as the below structure:

<E1KNA1M>

structure1

</E1KNA1M>

<E1KNA1M>

structure 2

</E1KNA1M>

is there any already exixting module for doing this'

[prabhu_s2]

are u going for any mapping...chaging the contents for the targfet system? if not then u can skip this mpaping part itself.

[Former Member]

No am not using any mapping. the message that reache s the channel is

<EDI_DC40>

structure1

</EDI_DC40>

<EK1NA1M>

structure 2

</EK1NA1M>

So i wanna write a module configuration which will rename the first tag as <ek1na1m>.

Hi Sumayya,

"Is it possible to have a structure like his in xi. Like nodes with same name and different structure"- you want a node having 2 Different structures in XI - this is not possible ......a node can have only one structure for it.......you can rename the other node.....and you can change the way of processing for it in your target system.

Thanks,

Hi,

><i>Is it possible to have a structure like his in xi. Like nodes with same name and different structure. PLz help</i>

This is not possible

if you try to create a Datatype of this sort you will get an Error,"Node already exists"

is ther any means to do this

[Former Member]

give one main structure and include sub-items under it . this should help you.

ur soruce:

<E1KNA1M>

structure1

</E1KNA1M>

<E1KNA1M>

structure 2

</E1KNA1M>

ur target

<root>

<E1KNA1M>

structure1

</E1KNA1M>

<E1KNA1M>

structure 2

</E1KNA1M>

</root>

the only diff u will find is the change in the root node

[prabhu_s2]

yes....u can have the same idoc struct for the target aswell....
