SAP PCK – Mapping (1)

MappingThe SAP PCK supports the development of message mappings using an integrated graphical mapping editor. With this any source XMLstructure can be mapped to any target XML structure.The mapping editor generates Java source code from the graphicalmapping description that is then compiled and packed in a Jar file that the SAP PCK executes at runtime.The mapping editor can load the following schemas into the structure overview:

XML schema definitions (XSD) or XML files from a local fileSchemas from another SAP PCK

Standard functions are provided to perform calculations, Boolean comparisons, text mappings, and other transformations.Optionally the standard functions can be enhanced with user-defined functions in Java. The user-defined functions can be used in exactly the same way as the standard functions in the data-flow editor.Subtrees can be duplicated in the target structure if the source fields are to be mapped to different positions in a target field.


SAP PCK – Mapping (2)

Structure OverviewThe structure overview displays all fields (elements and attributes) in the source and target structures. Thus source and target fields can be assigned to each other or included in the data-flow editor.Additional functions are supported:

Display fields of the source structure in a where-used listDisplay incomplete target field mappings

Assigning FieldsUsage of drag and drop to select a source field in the structureoverview and map it to a target field.

Data-Flow EditorA data-flow editor describes the flow of data from one or more source fields to one target field.In an editor window functions, source and target fields can be inserted and moved as required.
