Hi Ramu !

Lookups in XI, are queries to external data (DBMS, SAP R/3 system, etc.) used to convert or translate or verify information. You can do this query from a UDF java function in your mapping, or you can use one of the XI's methods explained in the links provided by Prateek, that basically are scenarios like Source-> XI -> query system -> XI -> Target.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Matias.

HI Ramu

Basically LookUp's can be done on RFC's, JDBC and SOAP.

i,e. you can call a RFC from your mapping , a webservice from your mapping and a JDBC call from your mapping using a UDF.

Have a look at these XI Database lookups
