XML document properties
webMethods B2B validates any inbound document against various document properties.
The document properties are:
- Identifiers
- Define XML document types to be general or specific. For example, define an XML document type that recognizes OAG documents, OAG PROCESS_PO_004 documents, or OAG PROCESS_PO_004 documents from a specific sender.
- Attributes
- In the document type, specify the system and custom document attribute values to extract from documents that match this document type. For more information about system and custom document attributes, see XML document attributes.
- Namespaces
- If an XML document uses namespaces, the elements in that document might be prefixed with a
string. When you create XQL queries to identify elements within the document, the XQL queries must
include the prefix. If XML documents use equivalent namespaces but have different prefixes, you must
define namespace mappings for webMethods B2B
to locate the nodes identified by the XQL queries. Namespace mappings
identify all prefixes that identify the same namespace (that is, point to the same URI).
Include a namespace mapping for each prefix and URI combination that you expect to receive in XML documents from the partners. If webMethods B2B receives a document that uses a prefix that is not defined in the namespace mappings table, it performs a literal match of the XQL queries against the document.
- Options
- You can update the settings, check for duplicate document and persist the document.
