Documentation
Definition
Definition that the characters for the attribute values are interpreted as regular expressions.
Use
Through the use of regular expressions it is possible to transfer the attribute values from the source system into the target system in an efficient way. There are various operators with a fixed syntax, for example:
- Operators for positioning:
& for the end of a row
&1 for the first item in a row
- Operators for characters:
. for any character (place holder)
- Operators for repetitions:
* for each character or for the repetition of default characters
Dependencies
In addition to these indicators, you enter a character string for the attribute value of the source system and one for the attribute value of the target system, with which you establish the rules for mapping.
Example
You maintain the attribute mapping MAT. In this mapping scenario, the material number is transferred from the source system (source attribute Q1-MAT) into the target system (target attribute R3-MAT-NR).
Example 1:
The indicator Regular Express is set. In the fields for the attribute values, you enter the following mapping rule:
Attribute Attribute value Example data
R3-MAT-NR &1- 123-
(Target attribute)
SOURCE-MAT M(.*) M123
(Source attribute)
Example 2:
The indicator Regular Express is not set. In the fields for the attribute values, you enter the following values:
Attribute Attribute value
R3-MAT-NR F-D-12
(Target attribute)
SOURCE-MAT M12
(Source attribute)
If the material number in the source system has the value M12, the number F-D-12 is assigned for this material in the target system.
