A deep nested xml in PI

[harish_babu5]

Hi everyone

I have a proxy to AS2 scenario. AS2 receiver is using xml format.

In Proxy, I am taking all fields required for the mapping in one node.

In the target side, this is the structure I need to follow:

<OutboundDelivery>

          <Header>

          <Item>

                    Field A

                    Field B

                    Field C

                    Field D

                    <Node1>

                              Field 1

                              Field 2

                              <Node2>

                                        Field X                                                                                                             

Is this possible to maintain this deep nested structure with xml? Will it work in mapping runtime?

Hi Harish,

Is this possible to maintain this deep nested structure with xml? Will it work in mapping runtime?

-->> Yes it is possible through message mapping.

Hi Harish

I was not clear enough.

The Filed 2 under Node 1 can come unbounded times. And the Field X under Node 2 can also come unbounded times

Is it possible now?

Hi Praveen,

I doubt this works.

Right now my source structure is:

<row>

Field A

Filed B

Field C

Field D

Field 1

Field 2

Field X

The functional consultants cannot tell how many times Field 2 and Field X comes. So I have t put them as nodes at both sender and receiver sides

Hi Harish,

The relationship between the fields has to be define, otherwise you do not know how many segment will come under first node.

If you do not know the relationship between the segment then it is not possible.

Hi Harish,

My few cents...

The functional consultants cannot tell how many times Field 2 and Field X comes. So I have t put them as

nodes at both sender and receiver sides

Harish,

If I create a structure like this at source side similar to the target side..

Header

Items

     Field A

     Field B

     Field C

     Field D

     Node1 (1...unbounded)

          Field 1

          Field  2  (1.1)

               Node 2  (1..unbounded)

                    Field X

Then map one to one between the nodes, will it not work..

hi Harish,

My opinion is if you can create a sample source file rather than source structure it will be easier to think of other option of creating Data type.

thanks and regards,

If you map one to one from source to target, then your target segment Node 1 and Node 2 will be populated only once.

If you want to populate them more then once then you need to find the mapping rule for that.
