Call SAP PI mapping externally

[former_member194786]

Hi All,

Is there a way to call mappings in SAP PI (Messsage/Java/XSLT) externally, for example using SOAPUI?

I remember detroubulator, which was quite useful for automated unit testing of mapping programs. I don't suppose it is supported by latest versions of SAP PI( we are on 7.4).

Appreciate your inputs!

Thanks,

Sanjeev.

Hi Sanjeev

Unfortunately we don't have any API for calling PI mappings.

We have API for PI configuration objects so we can create configuration objects externally.

But mapping program has to be called inside PI.

Hi Indrajit,

Thanks for your reply. Was just wondering how did detroubulator connect with SAP PI and if there is a similar way of doing it with PI Java only stack.

It will be really useful for unit testing of complex mappings.

Thanks,

Sanjeev.

Hi Sanjev,

It's an interesting question. I think you could construct a "generic" scenario with a java mapping. Inside the java mapping you can receive an XML with the payload and some parameters to detect the mapping program to be called. Personally, i dont know if you can have problems like to try to call a mapping in a different SWCV, namespace, etc. There is a document to show a few examples about the cross-references between mapping programs http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f03df013-289f-2e10-acb9-d1fcf782a...
