How to handle CXML in PI

[Bhargavakrishna]

Hi Experts,

We have to send the PO from SRM system to the vendor web-service.. in CXML..

Vendor don't have the WSDL..

As we know the alternative approach is to generate the wsdl in PI.

My question is how to convert the xml into CXML and sent it to the web-service.

Thanks in advance for your help..

Hi Bhargava,

Download the .dtd from the official site. Convert into .xsd e.g. by using XMLSpy (If you don't own it, there is a 30 day trial version available for free). Follow the links Dimitri Sannen provided  in his reply above to adapt the .xsd  before you import into PI as external definition. You will find the PO in the basic cXML documents.

Hi Krishna,

We are using Java mapping to convert xml to cXML after normal message mapping. You can also go for XSLT mapping.

Hi Bharghav,

We used Altova to convert cXml to xsd. After mapping there was issue on namespaces (ns3), used java mapping to get proper xml. You can also use XMLAnonymizerBean for namespace issues.

Hi Bhargave,

You have to download dtd structure from CXM site and then convert it in XSD and upload to PI as External definition and then map to require structure.
