MQSeries.net :: View topic - WMB 8.0.0.1: how to deal with SAP no-data "/" imp

Hi folks,

I need to perform several IDoc to DB and DB to IDoc mappings, most IDocs a are very sparsely populated.

The SAP team requires that we set any empty IDoc fields we send them to "/" which is apparently the SAP no-data indicator.

Doing this explicitly within the mapping node complicates it by orders of magnitude (there are hundreds of empty fields!).

Given that this appears to be a well-known SAP "feature" I'd expect that there must be a way of doing this implicitly in WMB rather than via a brute force mapping (e.g. setting defaults at IDoc import time would be cool).

Can anyone help me out with this?

Cheers,
F.
