When do we go for ABAP mapping and Java mapping

[Former Member]

Hi friends,

At present I am working on graphical mapping in XI ,can you guys give me with an example or scenario when do we use ABAP mapping , Java mapping or XSLT mapping.

Thanks in advance

Check this blog...It describes performance of various mappings....

I have standard XSLT mapping programs available for my scenarios, so use XSLT mapping. Similarly with Java mapping, For most scenarios, message mapping does the job too well. Abap mapping similarly is used to leverge existing ABAP base. If message mapping becomes confusing and hard to follow with too many functions, I go for Java mapping (just my way). I havent used ABAP mapping thus far.

Discussing ABAP mapping

• ABAP mapping is developed in ABAP work bench. ABAP mapping needs to be transported to integration server and XI does not support this transport and have to do with ABAP transports.

• Customers who can develop mapping program on SAP web AS and can transport them there can use ABAP mapping

*ABAP mapping programs cannot access the value table

*Since ABAP mappings are executed on ABAP stack SAP does not provide any ABAP mapping programs

*ABAP mapping programs must exists with one single version in IS, unlike JAva and XSLT mapping that can have multiple versions of mapping program

I think this question has been answered long back quite well by Michal Krawczyk , mapping usage directly depends on the comfort level of the mapper with the language, Both the mapping types are equally good.

Hi sud,

When you have some complex data manipulation that the custom functions in graphical mapping doesn't fit, you have to build your own mapping program.

Example: I'm using java mapping to sign and envelope my XML, zip the content using GZIP algorithm and than convert the GZIP file to base64, to finally post this base64 string into a webservice using SOAP.

Dear José Nunes,

I need to run exactly this scenario you described (Digital Signature, GZIP, base64), could help me how to proceed?

Thank you for your attention.
