SAP PI message mapping of list of values












0















In SAP PI 7.4 I'm experiencing some difficulties in trying to map something in a message mapping which would seem quite straightforward.



Input is something like this.



<Employee>
<ExternalIdList>
<ExternalId>aaa</ExternalId>
<ExternalId>bbb</ExternalId>
<ExternalId>ccc</ExternalId>
</ExternalIdList>
</Employee>


I need this to map to something of the following structure



<Newobject>
<ExternalEmployeeList>
<ExternalEmployee>
<ExternalId>aaa</ExternalId>
</ExternalEmployee>
<ExternalEmployee>
<ExternalId>bbb</ExternalId>
</ExternalEmployee>
<ExternalEmployee>
<ExternalId>ccc</ExternalId>
</ExternalEmployee>
</ExternalEmployeeList>
</Newobject>


When trying to map, I'd do this as follows:



Employee -> NewObject



ExternalIdList -> ExternalEmployeeList



ExternalId -> ExternalEmployee



ExternalId -> ExternalId



When testing the mapping, 3 ExternalEmployee nodes are made, but only the first contains the value 'aaa' in the ExternalId. The other 2 ExternalEmployees don't get an ExternalId:



<Newobject>
<ExternalEmployeeList>
<ExternalEmployee>
<ExternalId>aaa</ExternalId>
</ExternalEmployee>
<ExternalEmployee/>
<ExternalEmployee/>
</ExternalEmployee>
</ExternalEmployeeList>
</Newobject>


I've already tried quite some node functions or changed the context, but nothing seems to be working. What is the recommended solution for this?



Maybe add a XSLT mapping beforehand to insert a level between the ExternalIdList and the ExternalId in the input message? It seems like a lot of fuzz for this.



Thanks in advance, every tip in the right direction is welcome!
