HP XML Accelerator for SAP NetWeaver PI Version 1.0 - FAQ on XML Transformations, First edition

2 General support of mapping types and technologies
according to the PI standard
Which PI standard mapping types are supported (Message, XSLT, Java,
ABAP mappings)?
See http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/12/05731a10264057badc32d3d3957015/
content.htm.
Standard XSLT code can be directly accelerated, without porting the code. This is accomplished
by through the use of an XSLT library which targets the acceleration hardware where applicable.
Message Mapping is accelerated through the use of a compilation tool which uses the output
generated by the message mapping tool and post compiles that code into accelerated java code.
The product name of this tool is the HP XML Converter for SAP NetWeaver PI.
Message mappings which are coded in Java are not accelerated at this time. A future service will
be offered enabling the translation of Java into accelerated Java code.
Message mappings which are coded in ABAP are not accelerated by the XML accelerator.
Are value mappings supported?
See http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/f2/dfae3d47afd652e10000000a114084/
content.htm.
Value mapping is not an acceleratable function at this time. The addition of a capability to
accelerate value mapping is under investigation.
Are a single mapping program and multiple mapping programs per
direction supported?
See http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/4f/ef761a5ecfb1418b79896e10fe4c57/
content.htm.
Acceleration of single and multiple successive mapping programs on a message is supported.
Is XML schema validation supported by the accelerator?
No support for acceleration of schema validation provided. Schema validation is accomplished
by the standard NetWeaver PI methods.
Are XPath expressions supported?
Acceleration of XPATH expression evaluation in XSLT mappings is supported.
Is the execution of Java nodes on the server supported?
The accelerator currently limits the PI configuration with respect to Java nodes. Only one to four
concurrent Java nodes are supported.
Is the execution of multiple PI instances on the accelerator supported?
The accelerator does not currently support multiple instances of PI.
