What product/components do you use and which version/fix level?

wM 9.12 Designer/ wM 10.5 Designer

Are you using a free trial or a product with a customer license?

No

What are trying to achieve? Please describe in detail.

We want to identify the version of cXML PO as it is incoming, we have observed that in transformation from Node to Document and Document to XML, we are loosing the below said line which is the only possible identifier of cXML version, if it is 1.1 or 1.2:

Do you get any error messages? Please provide a full error message screenshot and log file.

Ariba is is expecting the cXML version as 1.2 so it is failing with below error:

I have mentioned the version as 9.12 and 10.5.

Further the services “pub.xml:xmlNodeToDocument” and “pub.xml:documentToXMLString” are the in-built services which translates the node to document and document to XML respectively and loosing the highlighted DOCTYPE line and giving the error, further highlighted:

Hi Sanket,

dealing with DTDs can be very cumbersome in webMethods.
Preferably you should consider using XSDs instead.

Did you check for Ariba/cXML specific adapters/components in the wM Suite which might help you with this?

Thanks for your reply Thomsen,

I have not checked the documentation specific to Arriba/cXML yet. But we will get all kinds of PO as Node and if the DOCTYPE line has 1.2 and 1.1 as version can only be known if it remains there after the conversion of Node into Document and then XML, which is not the case.

Here we can’t do much as it is coming like that from the customer itself.

Thank you!
