Hi sandeep,

With the Lookup API you can call remote application systems via adapters during the execution of a mapping program. You can use the Lookup API to read data from the application system or to execute an existing mapping on the application system. The call to the application system is synchronous. Lookups are possible via the central adapter engine. The Lookup API supports the RFC, JDBC, and SOAP adapter.

hi,

you can use mapping lookups to check some values

in other systems :

RFC lookup - to check values in R3

DB lookups to check in DBs

SOAP to check via SOAP

so in mapping you have for example material number 33333

but in sap it's 55555 so you check in your mapping (via lookup)

that 3333 is 5555 and put 5555 to your target message

michal
