ABAP mapping Vs Graphical mapping

[Former Member]

Hi

I have an inbound scenario to R/3 where the purchase requisition has 300 line items. I was wondering if it is easier to do ABAP mapping for such scenarios instead of Graphical mapping as it would be better performace as ABAP mapping is executed on ABAP engine?

I would appreciate valuable inputs.

Thanks,

Arjun.

Sharma,

I dont think it will an issue with the graphical mapping. There are some scenarios where I have come across till 1000 line items. So dont worry about that.

Also check this weblog for comparision on performances between this two:

Hi Arjun,

my views are as follows.

Abap mapping code is very complicated, so avoid ABAP mapping if you can do work with Graphical mapping.

Second reason is that We can not Debug Java & ABAP mapping in IR, But we can debug Graphical mapping. Which is very useful when due to some specific data or XML mapping fails.

Hope it helps

Hi Rohan,

Could you please explain what do you mean by when you say "We can not Debug Java & ABAP mapping in IR".?

Also, could anybody explain the adavantage of ABAP mapping over Graphical mapping?

Thanks,

hey

>>We can not Debug Java & ABAP mapping in IR

i guess this is not correct,u can't test java/abap/XSLT mapping in Message mapping test tab(u can test only graphical mapping under message mapping test tab),but u can surely test it in Interface mapping as it is at interface level.therefore u can test any mapping in IR

thanx

Hi Arjun

As mentioned above in the comparison Blog between 2 mappings, i dont think it gives clear picture, if you have some specific work which getting Dynamic Configuration stuff for example, then you will have to Look for ABAP mapping Class, my thinking is that it depends completely on the requirment.

For ABAP mapping you can go to

Let me know if you want any further clarifications
