Namespace Issue

Question

Hi All,

I am trying to send an IDOC to SAP by appending some addtional node in my custom component. In the first IDOC given below it is working fine because I am adding in ns1 (1st Pic), however when I am using the same component for the other IDOC it is not working because the order of namespaces are getting rearranged after the mapping as shown in the second pic.

Anyone has any idea on how we can arrange the namespaces after the mapping or do I need to change the custom component ?

Hi Varun,

Order of the namespace doesn't impact the output of the message created. It doesn't matter, so you don't need to change it.

Hi Ashwin,

Yes it will not impact the output but the problem is in the custom component I am explicitly mentioning the namespace id like ns3 for adding a new node. The reason for the same is, I want the output to be like 

<ns3:documentnode /> and ns3 has a different namespace in both the documents.

That is where I am getting the issue...

Hope you understood now.

Thanks,

Hi Varun,

You're confusing yourself.

The shown IDOC1 and IDOC2 are different not just the namespace rearrangement. IDOC1 seems have namespaces related to 711 where as IDOC2 relate to 731. 

If in your custom component you just add/append a node nothing anything other than appending the node, then the output message (message passed  in to you custom pipeline in send ) itself is different. First one is of 711 with different namespaces declaration and second one 731 with different namespace declarations.

Hi Varun,

Of what I have understood, I would suggest to create independent custom component for each IDOC type. Reading the namespaces and re-arranging them will be cumbersome task, you will not only have to rearrange the namespace alias but also rearrange qualified elements and attributes too.

Varun,

you will have to pass the actual or required namespace to your component and not just presume what prefix will be used. Then, at runtime,  parse enough of the "header" to work out what prefix you need to use and add your node as required.

I would try to do this in the map that generates the idoc, it would be a lot easier.

Hi Leonid,

I know they are different but both are of same type ZINVOICE. It is just the third system is older so we are using 711 version.

Both the IDOCs have same segments apart from namespaces which are rearragned after passing from the map.

I think I just have to add one more function for the other IDOC mentioning the addion of addtional node to the corrent namespace i.e ns1 instead of ns3.

Hi Rachit/Mark,

Yes i think i have to do the same in my component only.
