Value Mapping

Use

An object can have different representations, depending on the context in which it is used.

You use the value mapping function to map different representations of an object to each other. You save the mapping rules for different objects in a value mapping table.

You use value mapping in the following areas of SAP Exchange Infrastructure:

  • Java mapping

  • Message mapping

Integration

In SAP Exchange Infrastructure, the representation of an object is defined by an issuing agency and an identification scheme. The representation of an object is not complete until the agency, identification scheme, and value are known.

For more information, see: Identifiers

Value mappings can be defined in different value mapping contexts. For example, the Integration Directory or SAP Solution Manager. Different value mapping contexts are of use when you want to transfer value mappings from another context (see Value Mapping Replication Using a Specialist Interface).

Features

You save object representations in a value mapping table.

You have the following options for editing the content of value mapping tables:
