Message Map - multiple segments - user defined function

[Former Member]

I am working with XI 3.0 SP10. And I am trying to get the following mapping to work. The IDoc will post into a 46B system.

Header maps to header and comments map to comments.

<MAFRequest> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <IDOC BEGIN="1">

<MAFHeader> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <Z1ZEMAFIDOC_HDR SEGMENT="1">

<docType>H</docType> ~~~~ <RECORD_TYPE>H</RECORD_TYPE>

<notifNbr>1234</notifNbr> ~ <NOTIF_NBR>1234</NOTIF_NBR>

</MAFHeader> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ </Z1ZEMAFIDOC_HDR>

<MAFComment> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <Z1BPQCLINE SEGMENT="1">

<docType>C</docType>

<docTypeIDX>1</docTypeIDX>

<comment>Comment 1</comment> ~ <LINE>Comment 1</LINE>

</MAFComment> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ </Z1BPQCLINE>

<MAFComment> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <Z1BPQCLINE SEGMENT="1">

<docType>C</docType>

<docTypeIDX>2</docTypeIDX>

<comment>Comment 2</comment> ~ <LINE>Comment 2</LINE>

</MAFComment> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ </Z1BPQCLINE>

</MAFRequest> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ </IDOC>

My input comment line is a 2000 character string and my output comment line is 132 character string. Since I want to split the input string at a logical point I have written an advanced user-defined function to perform the

parsing.

I want to pass into my function docTypeIDX and comment which works for the parsing, but it will only call the function once, so only the first comment segment is processed.

If I map the 0..unbounded MAFComment to Z1BPQCLINE SEGMENT 0..99999 I get all three comments lines but my parsing will only provide the first output segment.

Any thoughts,

Thanks

Hi Andrew,

Maybe try something like this:

<comment> -> <yourfunction> -> <removeContexts> -> <exists> -> <Z1BPQCLINE SEGMENT="1">

<comment> -> <yourfunction> -> <splitByValue> -> <LINE>

this way you will create as many Z1BPQCLINE segments as the output LINE segments

Hope it will help,

Regards,

Michal

Hi Andrew,

Can tou please send me the advance user-defined function to perform parsing.

Becoz i have the similar requirement, as to parse the long strings.

please send me user defined (java) function to parse the long string (split).
