Manually adding input and output parameters

Depending on how the XML input and output parameters were defined in the SAP MII BLS transaction, the actual parameters might not appear when using the Query button.

If the SAP MII BLS transaction parameters do not appear under the To Enterprise section, you must manually add the parameters to the transport map using the Add button. It is expected that you have available information for the input and output parameters as defined in the SAP MII BLS transaction.

When using the Add button, you will add the following:

Parameter The name of the SAP MII BLS transaction.
Type The data type of the SAP MII BLS transaction.
Parm Type Will be In when the parameter is added under InputParams or Out when the parameter is added under Rowset.
Variable The map variable to associate with the SAP MII BLS transaction parameter. The map variable can be defined from the Input or Output tab, or you can click Map Parms to automatically generate one or more variables. For In parameters only, you can also set a Constant macro, and then specify a value, or other macro.
Value Only available for In parameters of type Constant.


The following provides an example of how to manually add an Out parameter to the transport map:

  1. Select the Rowset row, and then click Add.
    A new row is added under Rowset with default values.

  2. Double-click inside the NewParm column, and then type the name of the SAP MII BLS transaction parameter .

    The name of the parameter must exactly match (case sensitive) the name of the parameter that was defined as the SAP MII BLS transaction.

  3. Under Type, accept the default STRING (or click to change to any of the supported data types).
  4. To add another parameter, select the new parameter, and then repeat steps 1 through 3.
  5. From the Rowset row, in the Rows Out column, type the maximum number of rows that can be returned from the SAP MII BLS transaction. For this example, 2.

The Rows Out value is only available for parameters identified as Table with an Out parameter type.The Rows Out value is the maximum number of rows that the Transaction Server will keep from the transaction.

When the Parameter, Type, and Value (for the In parameter only) columns are complete with appropriate values (either by using the Query button or manually adding), you can automatically create the map variables that will be associated with each SAP MII BLS transaction parameter by using Map Parms.
