Mapping look up API

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/xi/xi-code-samples...

<b> A good extract from a forum discussion</b>

<i>Mapping programs (message, Java, and XSLT mappings) are executed on the Integration Server, where they can access the global value-mapping table (see Executing Value Mappings) and mapping runtime constants. In addition, calls to other application systems are sometimes necessary to meet the following requirements:

&#9679; To get read access to application system data in the mapping program

&#9679; To call existing mapping routines in the application system

In what all are the adapters are we using this lookups?

The API for mapping lookups supports access using the RFC, JDBC, and SOAP adapters

How we have to create the lookups?

Check this weblogs with some screenshots on how to achieve this:

1.to access the data of your application system in your mapping.

2.to call other mapping program existed in your application system.

xi offers specific mapping look up API which can be executed in your mapping program,such as message/java/xslt.
