How to implement multimapping in CPI

[Ryan-Crosby]

Hi,

I would like to know what is the best way to implement multimapping in CPI.

My requirement is to map 1 message to 2 messages.

In the editor it looks like this

Senderside

<Messages>

<Message1>

........

</Message1>

<Messages>

and in the Receiverside

<Messages>

<Message1>

........

</Message1>

<Message2>

.........

<Message2>

<Messages>.

I created the mapping and tested it, For testing purposes i added the <messages><message1> tags to my message and the mapping worked.

For runtime i sent the message (without <messages><message1> tags ) and it failed.

I then looked for a solution and one suggestion was to add a Content Modifier to the iFlow for the message body:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

<ns3:Messages xmlns:ns3="http://sap.com/xi/XI/SplitAndMerge">

<ns3:Message1>

${in.body}

</ns3:Message1>

</ns3:Messages>

I added the content modifier and now my mapping works.

But now i have a problem that the result message looks like this:

<Messages>

<Message1>

........

</Message1>

<Message2>

.........

<Message2>

<Messages>.

How do get rid of all these tags?

And is this really the best solution to my mapping requirement? It seems to me a very clumsy way of doing a multimap. (compared to the way it was done in PO)

That's the normal output structure of a multimapping in PI/PO - why would you remove the tags?

Hi Ryan,

These tags are not wanted by the receiver of the message

In such a case, then why use multimapping instead of using a single map?

Hi Ryan,

I received a wsdl containing a few messages. I need to use 2 of them in the message that i send out my iflow.

So i selected one message on the left side and 2 messages on the right side of my mapping editor.

The editor automatically creates these extra tags (messages, message 1, message 2) for me.

(like i said: in PO this is of no consequence for the runtime), but apparently in CPI one must specifically add and remove the extra tags to make the mapping work.

If there is an easier way to do it all, i'm game, please let me know

Is the intent for the receiver to get a single message with one XML structure? If so, then I would adjust the WSDL to match the expected structure and adjust the mapping accordingly.

Hi Ryan,

It would be a lot easier that way, i agree.

But if we go that way than the receiving application needs to do some changes and so far they werent willing to do that.

Hi Robert,

Please try with single quote for the snippet you want to replace that has url with double quotes:

body.replaceAll('<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">',""> ;

Hi Keylla,

Thx for your answer.

Incidentally i found the same somewhere else, but didnt see your answer yet.

Whichever way, thank you for helping me out.

Regards

Robert
