mapping functions in XI

[Former Member]

HI Experts,

I am looking for a doc , blog or any link where i can get explanation on all the mapping functions available and also about the user defined java mapping functions that we create.

thanks

HI

Mapping Techniques in XI

Different Mapping Techniques are available in XI. They are: Message Mapping, XSLT Mapping, Java Mapping and ABAP mapping.

u2022The integration repository includes a graphical mapping editor. It includes built-in functions for value transformations and queue and context handling. There is an interface for writing user-defined functions (java) as well.

u2022XSLT mappings can be imported into the Integration Repository; java methods can be called from within the XSLT style sheet. Advantages of this mapping are: open standard, portable, extensible via Java user-defined functions.

u2022If the transformation is very complex, it may be easiest to leverage the power of Java for mapping.

u2022ABAP mapping programs can also be written to transform the message structures.

Message Mapping

SAP XI provides a graphical mapping tool that generates a java mapping program to be called at run time.

u2022Graphically define mapping rules between source and target message types.

u2022Queue-based model allows for handling of extremely large documents.

u2022Drag-and-drop.

u2022Generates internal Java Code.

u2022Built-in and user-defined functions (in Java)

u2022Integrated testing tool.

u2022N:M mapping is possible.

Message mapping are of 2 types.

a.Structure Mapping: transform entire message structure.

b.Value Mapping: Transform values within messages.

Interface Mapping

An interface mapping registers a pair of interfaces for use in a scenario, and specifies the message mapping(s) to be used.

u2022Representation of mapping at the interface level.

u2022Mapping programs can be called sequentially.

u2022For synchronous interfaces, a request and response mapping can be provided.

JAVA MAPPING:

Usually Java mapping is preferred when the target structure is relatively complex and the transformation cannot be accomplished by simple graphical mapping.

ABAP mapping

ABAP mappings run on ABAP Stack and are developed in the ABAP workbench of the Integration Server.

XSLT Mapping:

XSLT stands for EXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations. It is an XML based language for transforming XML documents into any other formats suitable for browser to display, on the basis of set of well-defined rules.
