Scenario
Well, we need to complete our value mapping tables from an external data, may be you’ll find a lot of
solutions, but why invent the wheel, if we already have a service interface available for this purpose.

Ok here we go:
First, we must register the service in our java proxy, to do this you have to put this link on your browser,
remember change the host and port of this for your own data.

http://<host>:<port>/ProxyServer/register?ns=http://sap.com/xi/XI/System&interface=ValueMappingReplicati
onOutSynchronous&bean=localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.xi.services/ValueMappingApplicationSynchronous&m
ethod=ValueMappingReplicationOutSynchronous
Great, first step done. Now we need to do some things, I’ll explain now.

Integration Repository or Enterprise Service Repository (ESR)

Like you can see on the picture and as we said in the last text, the services already exist, so we don’t need
to do nothing on the ESR. But take a look for the object there, you have to go to:

SWCV SAP BASIS 7.10

namespace http://sap.com/xi/XI/System
Interface Name ValueMappingReplicationOutSynchronous

Well have you found something weird??.. no right, it’s all know or us. Well let’s continue with our little
introduction.

Integration Directory
Here we need to create a new business component, called Test_Value_Mapping, and do not forget put the
inbound and outbound interface ValueMappingSynchronous.

Receiver Communication Channel

Here we use an XI receiver communication channel, the most important here is the Path Prefix, this have to
appoint to /MesaagingSystem/receive/JPR/XI

Sender Communication Channel

This will be a SOAP sender communication channel, so this way we can expose our interface as a
webservice, and this is an easier way to complete our value mapping table ;) . don´t you think?.

Sender Agreement
Well the sender agreement is like this, appointing to our Communication channel.

Receiver Determination
Ok, we have the half of our job done it, now we configure the receiver determination, like this:

Interface Determination
The interface determination do not need a message mapping, because we sending the same structure like
the message type of the service interface, great, easier no?...

Receiver Agreement

Well, we have done our configuration, now we need test our interface, like we say here in Chile “listo”.

How to Test?
To make the test we will use the SAP PI HTTP Client

This is the XML content to test our interface or webservice

<ns1:ValueMappingReplication xmlns:ns1="http://sap.com/xi/XI/System"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchemainstance">
<Item>
<Operation>Insert</Operation>
<GroupID>fe9ffaa0494211dea47b001e372d2d65</GroupID>
<Context>http://sap.com/xi/XI</Context>
<Identifier scheme="TESTVALMAP"
agency="UXD">TESTVALUEMAPPING</Identifier>
</Item>
</ns1:ValueMappingReplication>

Well we put this payload in the client, complete the information on the blanks, you can take the information
from the receiver determination.

The server response

<ns:ValueMappingReplicationResponse
xmlns:ns="http://sap.com/xi/XI/System">true</ns:ValueMappingReplicationResponse>

Now we have to check our test, don’t we?

Well it’s easier go to
http://<host>:<port>/rwb/FrontComponent/FC_Secure.jsp?doAction=showCacheMonitoring

Then you must choose the corresponding Value Mapping depending of your group.

Well there is our result

Can you See?!!!! … It’s easier, now you can make more examples by you, and make and stronger value
mapping in your interfaces.
