BPM collecting idocs mapping error

[Former Member]

Hello,

My senario is idoc-to-file. I am now working to change my senario to use BPM and collect the idocs.

I am getting an error when I change my source and target message to be 0..unbounded in the message mapping.

I am getting the following error and I lose ALL of my existing mappings.

"The source or target structure has been changed or could not be found in the Integration Repository. The mapping definition contains elements or attributes that do not exist in the changed structure. The relevant entries will be deleted

Target structure has no such path....."

Has anyone seen this problem and know how to correct it?

Thank you.

hi,

if you set occurance from 1 to unbounded

the source and target messages

get a new tag (messages) appended

so you loose all your mappings

you need to recreate them manually

it's not an error or anything

it's just that the structure of your messages

is changed so XI assumes message mapping

needs to be redefined

Hi,

By just changing the occurances should not cause you to loose your mappings. You may have to add a mapping to the element which the occurance has been changed. But, the others should be okay.

I most situations, when mapping is lost is when:

1. namespace change

2. element name change

3. hiearchical structure change (e.g. inserting a parent element), even if the child element names stayed the same.

If you made any changes to the above, you will loose your mapping.

One way to work around this is to create mapping templates.

Hi William,

>>>>3. hiearchical structure change (e.g. inserting a parent element), even if the child element names stayed the same.

that's what happens when you change the occurance right?

a message tag is added

Ok. Thanks for letting me know. I had hoped that there was a better way than recreating all of my mappings.

Thanks again.
