Difference FixValue and ValueMapping

[Former Member]

Hey,

I try to understand the mentioned standard functions.

FixValue is simple to understand, but what about ValueMapping?

I designed ValueMapping in directory and use it sucessfully in repository.

But the difference to function FixValue would only be in reuseability of

the created mapping table. Is that all?

I don't understand the party concept. In documentation is an example with

different views on a person called <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/13/ba20dd7beb14438bc7b04b5b6ca300/frameset.htm">Mr.Smith</a>, but can anyone give me an example

where it makes sense to use it?

thanks

The main differences between FixValue and ValueMappings are:

1 - values for FixValue are maintained in the Repository, inside your message mapping, while for ValueMapping the values are maintained in the Directory.

2 - values for ValueMapping can not only be maintained manually, but can also be maintained using a special interface (see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2a/9d2891cc976549a9ad9f81e9b8db25/content.htm)

Therefore, for data that changes regularly, the use of ValueMapping is more appropriate. For conversion data that is static you can use FixValues.

Kind regards,

Hey,

ok, it's an advance to change mass data from a central point with

an interface

To define an agency here have nothing to do with integration scenarios?

And how to use the groups?

thx

Hi,

The basic difference is that the FixValues, the key-values are maintained in the Integration Respoitory.

In the case of value mapping the Key is along provded in the mapping in the IR and the value is maintained in the Directory.

This way , making changes becoemes easy as you move across environments.
