SAP mapplet properties

SAP mapplet properties

You can configure SAP mapplet properties in an outbound or inbound mapping task when you read IDocs from or write IDocs to SAP.
To configure the SAP mapplet properties, click the
Runtime Options
tab of the outbound or inbound mapping task. Expand the
SAP Mapplet Properties
section, and configure the mapplet properties.
The following table describes the SAP mapplet properties you can configure in an outbound or inbound mapping task:
Property
Outbound / Inbound
Description
Duplicate Parent Row Handling
Outbound and Inbound
Determines how
Data Integration
handles duplicate parent rows in a mapping task.
Select one of the following options:
  • First Row.
    Data Integration
    passes the first duplicate row to the target.
    Data Integration
    rejects rows with the same primary key that it processes after this row.
  • Last Row.
    Data Integration
    passes the last duplicate row to the target.
  • Error.
    Data Integration
    passes the first row to the target. Rows that follow with duplicate primary keys increment the error count. The mapping task fails when the error count exceeds the error threshold.
Default is First Row.
Orphan Row Handling
Outbound and Inbound
Determines how
Data Integration
handles orphan rows in a mapping task.
Select one of the following options:
  • Ignore.
    Data Integration
    ignores orphan rows.
  • Error. The mapping task fails when the error count exceeds the error threshold.
Default is Ignore.
Extended Syntax Check
Outbound and Inbound
Checks for IDocs that are not valid.
If you use this property to validate IDocs, the performance of the mapping task might degrade.
Row Level Processing
Outbound
Data Integration
processes each row of an outbound IDoc according to the IDoc metadata and passes it to a downstream transformation.
If you enable row-level processing,
Data Integration
does not validate IDocs.
Select this property to increase performance of the mapping task.
NULL Field Representation
Inbound
Determines how
Data Integration
handles fields with a null value in the IDoc prepare transformation.
Select one of the following options:
  • Blank.
    Data Integration
    inserts all blanks for the field.
  • Slash (/).
    Data Integration
    inserts a single slash (/) for the field.
Cache Directory
Inbound
The directory used to cache inbound IDoc or DMI data. By default, the cache files are created in a directory specified by the variable $PMCacheDir.
If you override the directory, make sure the directory exists and contains enough disk space for the cache files.
Cache Size
Inbound
Total memory in bytes allocated to
Data Integration
to cache data prepared for IDoc prepare transformations.
Default is 10 MB.
