Retrieving data from the XI Value Mapping tables

[Former Member]

We am looking for a way (using API if possible) to retrieve bulk data used in the Value Mapping Lookup functionality. I do not wish to maintain these values from within XI due to the cumbersome nature of the tool as well as security considerations. The values are stored in table XI_RUNVALMAPGR. If anyone knows how to do this (ABAP or java) I would really like to know.

We have no issue with replicating the values back into XI or retrieving specific lookup values at rumtime.

Thanks in advance

Conal,

Normally you'll have this mapping tables stored on your XI DB server (i.e. R/3 part of XI). From there you can access them either via the standard lookup API provided in XI or using custom made JCO functions from your mappings. You can use both solutions for message/Java or XSLT mappings.

Cheers,
