Mapping of Multiple occurences of source field to target

[Former Member]

hi,

my scenario is flat file to idoc.

my flat file structure is as below:

docheader

product1

product description1

product2

product description2

in idoc,i need to map product to E1EDP01 and product description to E1EDP19 which occurs inside E1EDP01.

now if i directly map product node to E1EDP01 node and product description to E1EDP19,

Product --> E1EDP01

Product description --> E1EDP19

i will get 2 E1EDP01 nodes .but each E1EDP01 node will be having two E1EDP19 nodes corresponding to incoming 2 product description.

E1EDP01 --> Product1

E1EDP19 --> Product description1

E1EDP19 --> Product description2

E1EDP01 --> Product2

E1EDP19 --> Product description1

E1EDP19 --> Product description2

how to do the mapping such that my first product description goes into first product target mapping and my second product description goes into second product mapping?

E1EDP01 --> Product1

E1EDP19 --> Product description1

E1EDP01 --> Product2

E1EDP19 --> Product description2

thanks,

Anuradha

Can you display the file structure?

Hi,

If your product description occurance is 1..1. Then u can use the node function SplitByValue.

Product description --> SplitByValue --> E1EDP19

Could you give us more information posting the MT used for the file?

Do you have always only 2 products in the file?

About mapping I suggest you to see the following blogs:
