Hi,

Generating functions are those functions which do not fetch any values from the source message,but generate target message based upon some conditions.All functions(regardless of whether Used Defined or standard) which do not take any values are called generating functions.functions of the Constant function category(e.g.constant,copyvalue,sender,receiver) are generating functions.

conversion is used to convert the data from one format to the other.

for ex: we use the FCC parameters to get the desired solutions .

SAP conversion agent it a tool that helps to convert unstructured data

(like EDI messages, work files, pdf files etc) into XI (or from XI)

you just use an IDE to develop the program that you can later on

put inside the adapter module (for fiel adapter for example)

so no programming (as it's drag and drop)

for many documents

generic function?

All functions (regardless of whether they are standard or user-defined functions) that do not have input values are refered to as Generating Functions (Constant, Sender, Receiver and CopyValue() are generating functions).

Thanks

Generating Function

All functions that do not have input values are refered to as

Generating Functions

Constant, Sender, Receiver and CopyValue() are generating functions

Generic Function

All Other Functions except Generating functions as above are Generic

they have input values and output values

Conversion function

that converts a value from one data type to another

eg- fix values and value mapping are existing functions in conversion

functions.
