Hi

>>1.What is the use of Imported Archieves..? It is used in mapping...?

Yes it is used for mapping

Importing Archives are used for import/upload the Mapping Object.

While we are doing Java or XSLT Mapping we import the jar/zip files into the Imported Archives.

<b>Java Mapping</b>

We develop the java code in NWDS and create a .jar file.

In the IR we import the .jar files under the Imported Archieve.

Imported Java Class file functions are also used as UDF.

<b>XSLT Mapping</b>

We zip the .xsl file and import it using Imported Archieve.

Thanks for ur reply....

How to create an UDF...?

Can u give me an example...?

Saravana,

If you choose mapping editor, in the bottom of the page left corner u can see symbol Rectangle symbol , just click that and create your own UDF. While creating UDF u have to choose Value or COntext/Queue. Value will have only incoming values, but Context/Queue will have array of values. I think the second part will confuse you, better have a look at references. It will be more helpful.

Best regards,

raj.

Hi

Steps to create an UDF:

--> In the LHS of the graphical Editor u can find a Create New Function button.

--> Click on it and give a name for u UDF

--> Also specify the parameters to the UDF. Note that the input & Output type to the parameter is always String type

or

--> Create an Java class using IDE and archive the file

--> Upload the archived file into XI in IMPORTEDARCHIEVES of Integeration Repository

-->These uploaded functions can be used in the Mapping

Hi,

Please find details below,

>>1.What is the use of Imported Archieves..? It is used in mapping...?

Hi we use imported archives to import the external archives we use for mapping. It can be a .jar or .zip file. You can load the object code into in Imported archives and you can use in the mapping programs.

>>2.How to create an UDF?

Creating UDF is a job. All the u need to do is click on new button in the data flow editor of mapping editor. and give the name, description and cache type (value/context/queue)

and then click create then write your java code in it.

Hope this helps.

Hi,<i>

>>>1.What is the use of Imported Archieves..? It is used in mapping...?</i>

In Imported Archives u can import ur XSLT mapping as a .jar or .zip file and use it in interface mapping (no need of message mapping).

<i>>>>2.How to create an UDF?</i>

Go to message mapping...create a new mapping or edit existing mapping...below u hav all predefined functions...before functions there in small icon...click on it....n create UDF.

Thanks,
