RAW16 to xsd:base64Binary - Manual Overide in PI Mapping ?

[Former Member]

Friends,

I am relatively new to PI, we have imported an RFC FM in PI and done the mapping ...

One of the fields in FM - has data type - RAW16  after importing in PI it is converted to xsd:base64Binary

Following are my questions

1. Can we manually override one of the fields in PI , like for e.g. after importing in PI from RFC FM can we convert data type xsd:base64Binary to XSDString?

2. I need the field as string in PI, what could be the alternate solution to this problem, In SAP they cannot convert the field/data Type(RAW16) to String?

Note: The FM has about 100+ fields so we cant do manual mapping in PI

Thanks in anticipation!

Hi

We can not change the type for a function module in SAP PI. The ESR designer will not allow to

change it manually.

You have to change the type in function module and then re-import the same FM in PI.

Hi,

You can try exporting the FM as WSDL. Edit it and then use a simple find/replace for xsd:base64Binary to xsd:string, save and import as external definition. Use this ED only in message mapping.

Indrajit Sarkar - Thank you for the reply, but this is not a feasible solution, this field is used in multiple places in SAP and it cannot be replaced.

any other solution ?

Hi Jitesh

You can write an UDF in PI to read the base64 data and save it as string.

Hi Jitesh,

As Indrajit mentioned you can write an UDF in PI.

Also check below thread.
