Managing Pcdata
A pcdata object contains character data in an XML document. Only one pcdata object can be defined per element or content particle. Sterling B2B Integrator Map Editor automatically names the pcdata object with the name of the parent element or content particle.
Note: When a pcdata has an operation performed against
it (link, standard rule, or as an extended rule storage field), the Sterling B2B Integrator
Map Editor displays
a red check mark over the pcdata icon.
Note: By default, the translator always trims “white
space” from XML Pcdata fields during input. To control this behavior
(to deactivate the trimming of Pcdata white space by the translator
during input), add the line trimPcdata=false to the customer_overrides.properties file
in the Properties directory.
For more information, see Create a Pcdata.
White space can be trimmed from pcdata objects on both the input and output sides of the map. The default property value for the trim pcdata setting is Use trim setting from customer_overrides.properties for the input side of the map and Never trim whitespace from PCDATA on the output side of the map.
