Hi,

An agency, which manages an identification scheme

For value mapping you need to mantain the table in the ID.For that go to TOOLS---->VALUE MAPPING.Over there specify the source and target values for Agency and Schema.than click on display this would open a window than go to edit mode and you can add various values for source and target.Next save and activate it.

Refer to the below link for the same:

The same can be used in message mapping using the value mapping function in the standard function.In that specify the same details and the input would be your source field.Than if the table contains any key that is equal to the value of the input than it would return the corresponding output else it would return null.

please have a look here:

In Value Mapping Issuing agency is one of the trios needed to identify an object uniquely. It can represent one of the following:

1. To identify unique rules of converting the data from source to target, use either Business Service or Business System

2. You can use Organization or Company as other identifier to produce and manage an identification scheme

Identification schemes are produced and managed by issuing agencies. An identification scheme, agency, and value form a key to be recognized as identifier.

hi,

An agency, which manages an identification scheme (for example, a company)

The identification scheme used (for example, the scheme ?customer number?)

· The value of the object, which is dependent on the identification scheme, the issuing agency, and the value mapping context

Value Mapping Properties such as Agency, Schema for Source and Target messages can have Any arbitrary string values. But For the Value Mapping Context it should be http://sap.com/xi/XI

By default Value mapping context is http://sap.com/xi/XI for those created directly in Directory. So u have to give the context.

Context is something like the source form which Mappings are done.

Note that Value Mappings can also be replicated from external system via Interfaces in XI during Runtime. In such case when u want to differentiate the origin of the Mappings (recognize the external system from which u obtained the mapping), contexts will come handy.

hi,

In SAP Exchange Infrastructure, an agency can represent one of the following:

1.An organization or company that produces and manages an identification scheme

2.A technical unit or a system within which an object is identified uniquely by an identifier or value

An example of a company is Dun & Bradstreet, which produces and manages the identification scheme D&B D-U-N-S number (to identify company units uniquely). An example of a technical unit is a business system. In the business system, the object customer (together with a namespace) is an identification scheme, within which a customer is identified uniquely by a value. An agency and an identification scheme together form an identifier.
