Description
Automatic translations from SAP Business One database field values to
SAP Business One DI Server field values
When adding/updating SAP Business One objects, many fields are
restricted to a SAP-defined set of values (e.g. the "Gender" field on a
Business Partner Contact must be passed as "gt_Female", "gt_Male" or
"gt_Undefined"). However, most data sources (including the SAP
Database tables themselves, if directly queried by an OLEDB/ODBC
query tool) do not store data according to these values. Converting
from the source values into the format required by the SAP DI Server
can be tricky to set up. A mechanism has been provided to allow the
SAP Business One Connector Tool to automatically do this. A new
schema file, "Enumerations.xml" is installed with V1.1 which details the
DI Server field values, and also the values that when found in the
source data will be automatically translated in the correct value to pass
to the DI Server. The most-used SAP Business One object schemas
have been altered to include the most commonly performed
translations (e.g. "Y" and "N" to "tYES" and "tNO"). If any additional
source data translation is required, the values can simply be added to
the schema files and the Connector tool will pick these up.
