User Defined Java Fun.

[Former Member]

Hi,

Any one defined Custome Java Function in XI?

Can you give me some example of what you guys implemented?

Thanks

Hi Venkat,

The simplest Java function that I have ever written in Graphical Mapping, was a UDF to return the XI server's date and time, and mapped it into an IDOC.

Hope I have answered your question.

cheers

For simple UDFs (cache = value), you can have a creation UDF, which creates a value and has no input, which you use for reading machine time, for example (but it'd be better to use currentDate standard function); or you can have transformation UDF, which have one or more inputs (of string type) and an output (also of string type), which you point to your target field.

The basic difference between them is that for one you have parameters which you can use on the function scope and for the other, you don't have parameters. But on both you'll have to return an object of string type.

For advanced UDFs (cache = context and cache = queue), it's a little more complicated. Check out this link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/22/e127f28b572243b4324879c6bf05a0/frameset.htm .

Hi Venkat,

You mean, writing a simple UDF?

See these blogs..
