XPATH-Funktion in a condition of a receiver determination does not work

[Former Member]

Hi,

we have XI 3.0, SPS 19.

I have a scenario with a mail sender.

I get mails with one attachment. This attachment is a plain text file - it's an EDIFACT-File.

Now, I use the module PayloadSwapBean to get this attachment - everything is fine.

My message-type looks very simple:

Element MT_SIMPLE, Datatype: string

(the whole EDIFACT-message is "stored" inside this string)

In my receiver determination, I have a condition, depending there is a String "XXXXX" inside the message

Condition: MT_SIMPLE[contains(.,'XXXXX:')] EX

But it doesn't work - I get the XI error message: No receiver found.

If I change my condition and work without XPATH-funktions:

New condition: MT_SIMPLE ~ 'XXXXX'

I get the error (it's german):

Problem beim Extrahieren der Werte aus der Nachricht:

Ausnahme CX_SWF_RLS_RULE aufgetreten

(Programm: CL_SWF_RLS_CONDITION==========CP,

Include CL_SWF_RLS_CONDITION==========CM00Q, Zeile: 161).

(English - or something like this :-):

Problem extracting the value from the message:

Exception CX_SWF_RLS_RULE occured

(Programm: CL_SWF_RLS_CONDITION==========CP,

Include CL_SWF_RLS_CONDITION==========CM00Q, Line: 161).

I think, the problem is the missing XML-Header (<?xml version="1.0" ...) in the message. All the XPATH-funktions are needing this xml-header.

Is it true?

How can I solv this? I have to pass the EDIFACT-Message unchanged to different systems - so I cannot convert it to an xml-structure.

Thx a lot!

Hi,

if you need a free converter for EDIFACT you can try my stuff:

http://totaledi.org/

Just convert your EDIFACT to XML and back to EDIFACT again.

Wolfgang,

can you try the following?

Instead of a Data Type like:

DT_SIMPLE of type xsd:String

try to use a Data Type like:

DT_SIMPLE

..String of type xsd:String

Just create an element field inside your Data Type (don't use the root tag as element).

Make this change and try again your condition.

Henrique.

Hi,

Conditions based on xpath work only on xml messages.
