Hi,

It's not possible because after import you will use a lost of information. Please don't do that because export is unofficial.

in order to export: hold ctrlshiftright click (tools-export tools->Export)

my advice use it only as a documentation after proper transformation

Best regards,

Chaitanya,

I've never tried. But try the following way.

Assign source and target messages. In the Mapping editor CTRLSHIFTRight click, there u will see Import option , now import the .xim file.

PS: It's not recommended by SAP to import/export mapping programs.

Hi,

If u import any objects then ur file be .tpz extension. I m surprised how ur file extension is .xim extension.

have u followed the same process which is mentioned below:

1) tools->export->select->FTP/CMS-> selct whole SWCV,individual objects,namespace and finish.

after whole process it will give the .tpz file name u need to take the file from that FTp server and u need to follow the reverse process in IR.

Import:

tools->import->ans go on.

Refer the link for process.

Farooq,

No. The unofficial/un documented way of exporting is CTRLSHIFTRIGHT Click you will see export option.

Hi Raj,

Correct me if I m wrong the file extension is .tpz right then how he is getting .xim extension.

This is just to add info in my repository.

Mapping code generated internally for that specific source and target messag. Now it is not a good idea to export this mapping and use it. it may give lots of conflicts at runtime...so better to create the Mapping programme and use that. try to abvoid reusalbililty by thie method:)

Thanks

Chirag,

Do the steps which I mentioned above, it will give you .xim extension. You have to do the steps in Mapping editor(Graphical flow editor- where u define mapping) not in mapping object name.

Thanks Raj.

Better we should not propose this solution else it will spread on SDN like anything:)
