Mapping question

Posted on Oct 14, 2005 at 04:13 PM 10 Views

I am trying to map Salary (From the Source - This is NOT A required field) to a target field TargetSalary(Target field - This is a Mandatory field).

When the source field Salary elment tag is not there the Mapping fails, because the target field is a Mandatory field.

To over come this I used the Exists function with Source Salary field, and if it returns false, then I am sending a constant 0 to the target field, but this never worked. could some one guide me please.

Thanks

    Hi,

    We have done couple of similar scenario's , it works fine.

    we used sourcefield->Exist->Equals->Ifwithelse->Target

    In Equals we check source field with constant(true) value. If true pass Source field in IFWITHELSE function else pass any constant value.

    Hope it works,

    Cheers,

    Karen,

    you can debug using 'Display Queue' (After executin your mapping in IR Right Click on the field for which you want to see the queue contents ) function in message mapping to check if all the queue contents are as expected.

    Hi Karen

    Your logic seems fine, maybe you can try something like length of source field is not greater than zero, then set a constant of 0 to target field.

    cheers

      This is why i prefer doing the mapping using XSLT or Java, and not using message mapping. As i can write my own piece of code to handle any situation instead of depending on a tool. Maybe you can consider XSLT or Java as well.

      cheers

      PS: The XSLT code for your current requirement is very easy.
