PI 7.11: Mapping inside or outside PI??

135 Views

Hi,

We have an IDoc to SOAP scenario.

Currently we have many issues with that interface, because the message mapping is very complicated (various entries per infotype have to be mapped to one target field etc.).

Wouldn't it be easier (especially for me as an ABAPer) to do the mapping in a user exit on SAP ERP side and call the PI WS from there?

Then we would have only to bypass the data through PI, because the inbound/outbound message type would be the same.

For me it always takes ages to find out what's wrong inside the mapping.

And the graphical mapping becomes very confusing even for easy mappings.

In ABAP the mapping part would be much easier!

What is here the best practice?

Do PI developers have always the aim to do all the mapping inside PI?

Thanks in advance!
