Using Java Functions of Function Libraries 

Function

You want to use the Java functions of a local function library within a message mapping.

Prerequisites

●      The function library is in the same software component version as the message mapping in which you want to use the functions of the function library, or in an underlying version.

●      You have loaded a source structure and a target structure to the structure overview of the mapping editor.

Procedure

...

       1.      The table for selecting function libraries is on the left side of the data-flow editor. If it is not visible, choose Display Function Libraries Used on the left.

       2.      To add a function library to the table, proceed as follows:

                            a.      First, insert a new table line.

                            b.      Either use the input help in the Function Library column of the new line to select a function library, or use drag and drop to select a function library from the navigation tree in the PCK and drag it to the table.

                            c.      Enter an instance name for each function library.

In this way, you can use a function library more than once in a message mapping if you need different object instances of the class belonging to the function library.

Result

The functions of the function library entered in the mapping editor are displayed in the dataflow editor. The name is local.<function name>.
