The scope of this document is to provide an overvie w of the necessary design tasks and tools for selected mapping requirements. This guide is intended for use in conjunction with the accompanying screen shots

. The screen shots serve as an entry point to the guide by providing high-level guidance at a glance, while the guide provides step-by-step instruction for the individual design tasks Requirements This section deals with the mapping requirements, design and their results. Fig 1: Standard Structure Check input values in predefined set of values: We have a requirement where we have to check whether the input values are presen t in the given set of value if present then return true else return false. SAP C OMMUNITY NETWORK SDN - sdn.sap.com | BPX - bpx.sap.com | BOC - boc.sap.com 2009 SAP AG 3 Graphical Mapping Technique in SAP NetWeaver Process Integration Approach 1 Requirement: if age equals 11 or 21 then generate the target segment. Normally we address this requirement in graphical mapping using equals, ifWithou tElse and Or standard functions. If we have to check the input value within 2 or 3 given values then it can be used. Design Result However if we have to check the input value within many values let say some 30 o r more given values then this approach may not be the wise option. For this kind of requirement Approach 2 will be the best fit. SAP COMMUNITY NETWORK SDN - sdn.sap.com | BPX - bpx.sap.com | BOC - boc.sap.com 2009 SAP AG 4 Graphical Mapping Technique in SAP NetWeaver Process Integration Approach 2 Design indexOf2 : Standard function We can address this kind of requirement by indexOf2 standard function. Here in the below given screenshot age is the input field contain some value whi ch we have to check within the given set of values maintained in the constant. SAP COMMUNITY NETWORK SDN - sdn.sap.com | BPX - bpx.sap.com | BOC - boc.sap.com 2009 SAP AG 5 Graphical Mapping Technique in SAP NetWeaver Process Integration Here in constant we can write all the values. We can separate the values written in constant by comma, forward slash (/) or other special character to avoid err or and confusion. How it works: 1. age : is a source field contains input values. Now we have to check whether the input values are present in the predefined set of values, if present then return true else false 2. Constant: in constant we have to put all those values which will get compared wi th the input values. 3. indexOf2: this function will check the input value in the constant and if input value found then return the starting index (position) of the value. 4. Greater: this function will check whether the input is greater then -1 then retu rn true else return false. SAP COMMUNITY NETWORK SDN - sdn.sap.com | BPX - bpx.sap.com | BOC - boc.sap.com 2009 SAP AG 6 Graphical Mapping Technique in SAP NetWeaver Process Integration Result All those segment has been generated where the age value equal to the defined va lues in the constant.
