hi..

There are two ways the sequence number can be generated.

1. Use Advanced User–Defined function to generate the

sequence number all at once.

2. Use Simple User–Defined function to generate the sequence

number for each occurrence separately, keeping track of the

sequence number value previously generated.

PLz chk this link..:

refer the page No. 64..It is help ful.

Hi,

if the system restarts then just you have to put the last generated value to a flat file, from where the value will be read when the system starts again.

for writing/reading value to/from file you can use FileOutputStream and FileInputStream classes.

Hi Rupash,

When you use the UDF's as suggested above.

They will work untill you restart the system.

In any case if you restart the system, again it will start generating from Intitial "1".

So if you do not want to Re-initiaze the value , then you need to create UDF by calling RFC lookup and by creating one Ztable in ABAP stack and you need updating everytime the mapping occurs with +1.

Hi Rupesh,

chack this code:

public String seqNumber(Container container)

{

int i;

GlobalContainer global=container.getGlobalContainer();

String getnum=(String)global.getParameter("a");

if(getnum==null){

global.setParameter("a","1"); i=1;

}

else{

i=Integer.parseInt(getnum); i++;

global.setParameter("a",String.valueOf(i));

}

return String.valueOf(i);

}

Hi Krishna,

Inorder to generare sequential num, we have an option in message mapping i.e java selections.

it consits of three parts.

1.global container

2.local variable

3.clan-up section.

where you have to write java code to generare sequential num.

generate one file with intial seq num,next time it will capture the previous seq num from file( file will be avialable in xi server ).

warm regards

mahesh.
