Hi Ansari,

Can you please tell us which transaction you are trying to load like ordercreate, confirmation, shipping or invoice etc?

We ran into these issues then I converted the dtds to xsds in altova xml spy and then uploaded them. Let me know which transactions you are trying to upload?

Hi Satish...

Thanks for the reply.

My scenario is i am trying to get data from ARIBA system to SAP through XI. I will need to get the Purchase orders, GRs and invoices from ARIBA to SAP.

I downloaded the CXML.DTD from CXML site.. and then used this file as external definition.

But while doing so i am geting this error message. It is a show stopper for me.

Hi Ansari,

Open your Fulfill dtd in altova xml spy --> Go to DTD Schema Menu --> Convert DTD / Schema --> W3C Schema and ok --> then saving the file will create 3 xsds. If you save as test then test.xsd, test1.xsd and test2.xsd will be created. Then upload test.xsd into your IR and it should work for you.

Hi Ansari,

>what is altova xml spy

It is an application. You can download it from net. But the free trial is only for 30 days.

> saying open the DTD file is it that i need to open my CXML.DTD file(which i downloaded from website)

In the cxml website there is another schema which is fulfill.dtd. You need to download that one also. This has order create, order confirmation, shipping schemas.

Hi Satish..

Just to confirm what you have told..

Along with the CXML.DTD file i also need to download the Fullfill.dtd file also from the website..

Then i need to download the atova xml spy from the net and then conver the fillfill.dtd file as you mentioned earlier. Once conversion i need to use the first file for creating the data defition in XI(External definition).

But in this case what is the use of cxml.dtd file. Do you have any other supporting documents which i can make use for this.

Hi Satish..

Just to summarise wht you told..

I need to download the fullfill.zip file from the site and use altova spy to edit it.. Which will create 3 files. i need to use the first file and create external definition.

The zip file contains lot of files. which one should i use.. In the case of the CXML.ZIP i used the file cxml.dtd.

Hi,

Had similar Issues ,Modify the dtd file with any xml editor (like ALTOVA SPY,STYLUS STUDIO etc....)

1.First Delete the Multiple Declaration of "Method .ANY"

2.replace all "ds:" character with 'ds_'

3.replace all "xades: " with 'xades_'

4.replace all "xmlns" with 'attr_'

if you do these changes to file,then when you convert to xsd it will create only one XSD.

After modifying the dtd convert into XSD.Then import it as external Defination .While mapping use CXML Message as your Source or Target.

Hi Madhu,,

I need some more details. Like in my cxml.zip folder i had many files. i am using the cxml.dtd file to create the external definition.

1.First Delete the Multiple Declaration of "Method .ANY"

2.replace all "ds:" character with 'ds_'

3.replace all "xades: " with 'xades_'

4.replace all "xmlns" with 'attr_'

I wil use altova spy to edit the cxml.dtd file.. and then i will upload the file to the XI system. then under the tab imported document i get the code lines. Do i have to edit it there.. Can you please give me some more details on thism

Hi Ansari,

Do one thing. Just download the cxml.zip and unzip. You have cxml.dtd. If you are able to upload into IR then thats fine. Else do the process whatever I told. Once done then if you are uploading DTD into XI IR then in external definition choose dtd else if you are doing xsd then select xsd. You cannot edit anythign in IR in external definition.

Hi Satish..

Hi,

Once you download DTD file CXML.ORG,do these steps.

1.First Delete the Multiple Declaration of "Method .ANY"

2.replace all "ds:" character with 'ds_'

3.replace all "xades: " with 'xades_'

4.replace all "xmlns" with 'attr_'

Then use xml alotva spy to convert this dtd into xsd.It will create one xsd file.Import this file asexternal defination,Once you import you see larage number messages in message tab of the external Defination .While mapping when you select the External Defination you select the message name CXML for your source or Target.

Hope this helps you.

HI,

We are facing some issue with CXML. I have posted a new thread [;.

The content of that thread is pasted below: You can give your solution in the above mentioned thread so that I can grant points.

We need to use cXML for our project. Based on the thread ( [; )

the following steps need to be done with the cXML DTD.

1.First Delete the Multiple Declaration of "Method .ANY"

2.replace all "ds:" character with 'ds_'

3.replace all "xades: " with 'xades_'

4.replace all "xmlns" with 'attr_'

5) After this use Altova to convert the DTD to XSD.

First of all, we could not carry out the 4th point, as in that case Altova says that it is invalid, and it fails to get imported in PI as well.

Without step 4 , if we import it as external definition, then there are certain attributes with type xml:lang coming in Red.

Can anybody tell us on how to fix this.

Thanks,

Hi Himadri,

Actally I face the same issue with below point:

4.replace all "xmlns" with 'attr_'

Correct step should be:

     4.replace all "xmlns:" with 'attr_'

Then it will work as expected, it was just a typing mistake I assume.
