Context change

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have seen  few interfaces where context ie field has been changed or shifted to node

EX : partner_q of E1ADRM1 to E1EDL20

why do we need to do this

when do we need to do this, I mean how will I know I have to shift the context to node

please suggest

Hi Kishore,

why do we need to do this

Because you can develop mappings easier.

when do we need to do this

There no a straight answer for this. First of you should to have clear what is a context, Sirnu gives you a good example, a tag has so many contexts as tags are its fathers.

Sometimes it is useful to have a queue with all the values belonging at the same context, for example:

World > Continent >  Country > Region > Population (end tag)

If you want to map the population in the nex output World > Continent >  Country > Population (end tag), you would need to sum all the population by region, but it is easier to sum directly all the population by country.

I think this Grzegorz Glowacki  blog explains it better

Hi Iñaki,

It's been a while, isn't it? Thanks for mentioning my blog. Indeed I hope it does give a nice jumpstart into the queues and contexts concepts of PI mappings
