Configuring a Mapping with a BAPI/RFC Mapplet

    1. To create a mapping, click Design > Mappings, and then click New Mapping.
    The New Mapping dialog box appears.
    2. Enter a name and description for the mapping, and click OK.
    You can use alphanumeric characters and underscores (_) in the mapping name.
    3. To configure a source, on the Transformation palette, click Source.
    4. In the Properties panel, on the General tab, you can enter a name and description.
    5. Click the Source tab and configure the source details.
    Source details and advanced source properties appear based on the connection type.
    6. To add a BAPI/RFC mapplet transformation, on the Transformation palette, click Mapplet.
    1. a. On the General tab, enter a name and description for the mapplet.
    2. b. Draw a link to connect the previous transformation to the mapplet transformation.
    3. c. On the Mapplet tab, click Select.
    4. The Select Mapplet dialog box appears.
    5. d. Specify a BAPI/RFC mapplet that you generated in Informatica Cloud and click OK.
    6. e. Click Connection to specify an SAP RFC/BAPI Interface connection. You can create a connection, select a connection, or specify a parameter name for the connection.
    7. f. To preview fields, configure the field rules, or rename fields, click Incoming Fields.
    8. g. Click Field Mapping and map the incoming source fields with the Integration ID in the BAPI/RFC mapplet.
    7. To add any other transformation, on the Transformation palette, click the transformation name. Or, drag the transformation onto the mapping canvas.
    1. a. On the General tab, enter a name and description for the transformation.
    2. b. Draw a link to connect the previous transformation to the transformation.
    3. When you link transformations, the downstream transformation inherits the incoming fields from the previous transformation.
      For a Joiner transformation, draw a master link and a detail link.
    4. c. To preview fields, configure the field rules, or rename fields, click Incoming Fields.
    5. d. Configure additional transformation properties, as needed.
    6. The properties that you configure vary based on the type of transformation you create.
    7. e. To add another transformation, repeat these steps.
    8. To add a Target transformation, on the Transformation palette, click Target.
    1. a. On the General tab, you can enter a name and description.
    2. b. Draw a link to connect the previous transformation to the Target transformation.
    3. c. Click the Target tab and configure target details. If necessary, configure the advanced target properties.
    4. Target details and advanced target properties appear based on the connection type.
    5. d. To preview fields, configure the field rules, or rename fields, click Incoming Fields.
    6. e. Click Field Mapping and map the fields that you want to write to the target.
    7. f. To add another Target transformation, repeat these steps.
    9. Save and run the mapping or save and create a Mapping Configuration task.
