To set variable values

Variable values required by a mapping must be set by the business object method that uses the mapping. To do this, use the Parameters settings of the method (see Establishing business object methods and To set restrictions).

  1. Mark the In radio button.
  2. Type the variable name in the Name field using the exact spelling that you used when you established the variable.
  3. Select the type from the Type drop-down list. This must be the same as the type established for the variable.
  4. Type a default value assignment or expression (if any) in the Value field. This can be overridden by the calling page. If you leave this blank, then all calling pages must be configured to provide a value. The field accepts valuespec expressions, which are useful for fetching values from the session object (for example, by setting Value to "=" to fetch the current user’s preferred language).
