CPI Message mapping is it possible to retain empty XML elements on the target XML?

[Raj_Nallaguntla]

Hi All,

checking if its possible to send empty xml elements as for eg <ABC/> ( empty tag) on the target xml,

XML file generated from CPI MM does not include the empty tag when no value found on the source.

I understand that no value of sending empty xml element on the target

but have specific requirement to match the legacy xml file which includes empty elements . any idea or pointers ?

Thanks,

further update on this if any one come across similar requirement this may help ...

if target node needs to be created even if source xml tag does not exists on the source file ( common in idoc-xml to non-idoc-xml scenarios )

use node function "exists" to check if the source tag exists or not based on the outcome of the node function ... we can use "if" to achieve desired results. for eg if the source tag does not exists assign default value.
