XI Mapping..

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

What's the standard when it comes to Mapping Constant Values?

Shall we just use the constant functionality in message mapping or shall we use import parameters in our mapping?

Thanks.

Hello,

If you just need to pass some fixed and isolated value to the function used in the message mapping, constant is sufficient. But if you have a requirement to flexibly bind the input value used in the message mapping and obtain it from the outer component (for example from container of the integration process that calls this mapping or when utilizing lookup functions in the mapping), then the preferred way would be to used import parameter. This will increase flexibility and reusability of your mapping.

Hi,

- if they don't change  - contant in mapping

- if they change - import parameters
