Misplaced XML tags order

[Former Member]

Hi all,

In my target XML structure order/sequencer of few XML tags under a node is changed

Is the order really an issue. My client complains about the order.

Any pointers ?

I have noticed once, that an external definition requires a "sequence" command in XSD to keep the order.

Otherwise the order might be changed be PI.

Sequence of tags shouldn't be a problem. Is it inbound Order in SAP? What is the complaint?

Its inbound to a third party logistics system.

The XML actually is as follows.

<Partner>

<Name>USA</Name>

<Description>country</Description>

</Partner>

But they complain that <Description> should come before <Name> .

The must be having a different processing mechanism. I dont know. But sure they have problem with this

Does Description come before Name in the External Definition?

Then why don't you edit the target external definition and move the Description tag before the Name tag.

Thanks guys.

External definition has Name followed by Description as follows

<Partner>

<Name>USA</Name>

<Description>country</Description>

</Partner>

But the output xml files has Description followed by name as follows..

<Partner>

<Description>country</Description>

<Name>USA</Name>

</Partner>

Did you ask the client to provide file which has Description followed by Name?

try changing the ED (in notepad/ textpad) and send the message....have Description before Name

The External Definition is perfect. as expected (Name followed by Description). In the Test Tab of the message mapping the output is as expected.

But only when it execute end to end the order of these two tags is misplaced

When the test tab shows something different as runtime, I suppose that the runtime cache is not updated.
