Hi,

Message mapping is a graphical tool to develop the mapping program in XI.

which will be used to map for transformation the source message to target message.

The Message mapping will be execute on Java cache.

see the below link

Interface mappings register your mapping program for an interface pair in the Integration Repository

Interface mapping is a wraper to link the message interfaces using associated mapping program , this mapping may not be the graphical mapping, it can be java mapping,xslt mapping,abap mapping.

Interface mapping will be execute on ABAP Cache.

See the below link

Hi,

Interface mappings register your mapping program for an interface pair in the Integration Repository. If you require a mapping at runtime, it is sufficient to select the interface mapping for the interface pair at configuration time.

Just have a look at these links:

Message Mapping :

Message Mapping is nothing but a set of rules for producing target XML from the source XML.These rules are nothing but relations between the source XML tags and target XML tags.

Just have a look at these links:

Hi Prasad,

SAP XI supports four kind of transformation methodologies.

1. Message Mapping

2. Java

3. ABAP

4. XSLT

Every SAP XI scenario consists of Interface Mapping which is default and mandotary step.

So you can treat it as an Abstraction over actual transformation or higher level mapping which doesnot deals with how mapping has been done inside.

On the other hand Message Mapping is GUI based mapping tool which is part of IR of SAP XI. Creating transformations using Message Mapping is one of the four possibilities. You can say it as detailed mapping or field by field mapping

When you create any scenario you have to select Interface Mapping and inside that you can provide Message Mapping.

for further information you can go thro' the SAP Help.

Shri

Hi Prasad,

Message Mapping is the mapping between ur source structure and target stucture.

Doing operations on source structure to achieve tarhet structure.

U can do message mapping either using graphical mapping or XSLT mapping or JAVA mapping or ABAP mapping.

Now interface mapping is wrapper for message Mapping.... here we need to provide source interfce(outbound),target interface(inboubd) and mapping between them.

Thanks,

Maheshwari.

Hi,

message mapping is a graphical tool in XI that allows you to map XML messages

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/49/1ebc6111ea2f45a9946c702b685299/content.htm

interface mapping is a mapping wrapper (allows to map XML messages

but you can use any type of mapping - also message mapping)
