Hi all,
quite new to Biztalk Development I'm facing a problem or design question, I couldn't find any close answer to.
I have to do a mapping between a standard SAP idoc and a custom datamaster schema. The idoc schema contains several segments, recurring several times. Within this segments I would like to map a value (Element1 e.g.) to my datamaster schema depending on another
value (Element2) of my idoc.
To make it clearer:
iDoc-SegmentA (may occur 1 ... n)
- <Element1>A Date</Element1>
- <Element2>001</Elememt2>
DM-Schema
- DateTime1
- DateTime2
- DateTime3
What I would like to achieve is:
In case Element2 in SAP is "001" I would like to map DateTime1 to Element1, in case of "002" I would like to map DateTime2, and so on ...
I solved this by using Looping Functiods and combining with logical funtoids (EQUAL), but since I have plenty of recurring segments and a lot of conditional expressions to evaluate in our business process, the map becomes quite complex and confusing.
Isn't there a better approach to target topics like this? Custom Scripts (Scripting functoids) or anything else?
Any help or direction would really be appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Andreas
