How to add new BIC mapping into current landscape

[vikas_saxena3]

Hi,

I am novice to EDI world.

As per current business requirements, we need to use D13A INVRPT mapping for EDI conversion but this mapping doesn't exist in our current seeburger installation.

To meet business needs, we have approached SAP to provide D13A mapping and SAP has provided us one BIC xml (msg_INVRPT_UN_D13A_STD_S4.xml) only. They have recommended to use BIC Mapping designer to incorporate mapping into current landscape.

I am not sure, how can I proceed with this xml. How will it be visible in Message Splitter - Mapping Name section to usage. How to get .xsd of this to use in ESR.

Please advice what to do next? Is this .xml is enough to proceed with E2X mapping.

Format of D13A is below - SAP has shared..

I went through couple of blogs stated to import prj_GeneratorMappings.zip.bicmd  file to start BIC mapping but I didn't locate this file anywhere on server. Please suggest.

Thanks!!

1. you need to first get the already deployed project files (.SDA /.SCA )

2. Import the project to BIC Mapping desinger

3. import the new .xsd

4. create E2X mapping from the mapper

5. generate a sda file

6. ask basis to deploy the file to PI server.

Hi Ganesh,

I tried the way Nitin has suggested. I don't know how to get already deployed projects file and incorporate into BIC designer.

And, I don't have .xsd file with me. Can you please suggest too how to get XSD. Shall I approach SAP to share this as well?

Hi Vikas,

You can use the online tools to generate XSD using XML file.

Hello Vikas,

In your BIC editor you can import this XML as your source structure and also upload the metadata definition for your Output EDI structure. Map them one-to-one and then generate .SDA file, upload the same into SAP PI system and then you refer to the mapping through Adapter module ib the channel.

Please refer to below discussion for more infor -

Hi Nitin,

I have tried same. I have used GenaratorMapping project and used CreateMappingEdiToXML mapping. The generated destination file looks like below. Is this the right format generated??

I am worried, can I go for create deploy file option and deploy the mapping into our server. Wont I affect existing setup? Please suggest how to deploy this?

Hi Vikas,

Deploying does not affect your existing setup. This is just the .SDA file which gets deployed on to the server. After this you need to use this in Adapter Module tab of your communication channel. If this does not work out, then you can change the module parameter to previous one.
