Hi Vikash

Xi supports tool only for Graphical mapping other mapping are developed externally and imported in IR

A message mapping refers to a mapping of messages; the procedure is supported by a graphical mapping editor. The editor enables you to design a structure mapping between any two XML structures and connect to a value mapping.

The mapping tool generates Java source code from the graphical mapping description, which is then compiled and packed in a JAR file that the Integration Engine executes at runtime.

Graphical mapping is the simplest mapping and can handle doc with very large queue, its a drag and drop mapping with many inbuild functions. Also if you required you can write functions also there.

Hi,

In the name itself haing, here we don't write any code here its full of graphical means drag and drop.

we take the sender message type in some field and drop to the receiver message type in some field, if we need we can do some changes in the mapping, how means we have some predefined functions are available.

Hi

MAPPINGS STANDARD NODE FUNCTIONS:

Remove Contexts: We use it to remove Header Contexts from source side. If we donu2019t want header context to repeat in target structure, use this. It removes repeated header contexts and all the items come under the same contexts.

Split by Value: This is counter part of remove context. Use this to add the header context at the target side. Suppose if we wan to separate header contexts for every value of item at source use this.

Copy Value: We can use this to copy the value of a position in the source structure and assign it to a target field for frequently occurring source structure element. The value is copied each time the target field occurs in the target structure.

Createif (): Use it to create a tag in the target structure depending on the condition. Use it, if the nodes at the target side have to be created only after certain condition is true. If value type is u2018INTENALu2019 Internal request node is created and if value type is u2018EXTERNALu2019 external request node is created.

Collapse Context: We use it, if we have to create empty tags in target for every context change in the source.

Exists: While mapping idoc structure to file structure, Lot of times we come across a scenario where the fields (occurrence=0) are not mandatory in the idoc. They are not populated in the source xml and they are required in the target xml (occurrence=1) which gives runtime exception that target element canu2019t be created.
