How to Access a BPM container variable in XI graphical message mapping

[Former Member]

Hello XI BPM and Mapping experts,

is it possible to access a BPM container variable from an graphical mapping?

If yes, how ?

We need this for the following scenario:

IDOC to BPM.

BPM transforms and sends transformed IDOC to fileadapter

If both steps are successful a STATUS.SYSTAT01 IDOC should be send back to SAP-ISU with status 06.

If one of these steps fails the status in the SYSTAT01 should be set to 05. (Exception branch of block)

We want to avoid to write 2 mapping programs for mapping the SYSTAT01.

Instead we would like to use a BPM Container Variable which contains the status.

In the mapping for the SYSTAT01 we want to use this Container Variable.

Is this possible?

Thanks for soon answers.

Regards Marlies

Hi Marlies,

Is not possible to acces a BPM container variable from graphical mapping. For other hand, you can to use runtime variables for this purpose.

You could create an abstract interface with a message type having a single node with the required value and using this message in other mapping.

Best regards
