TN XML document types are definitions that tell webMethods Trading Networks how to identify a type of business document and specify the attributes that Trading Networks is to extract from the business document.

When the webMethodsChem eStandards Module receives a business document, it invokes a Trading Networks service to recognize the type of business document by using the TN XML document types that were included in the respective Chem eStandards Process Archive. When Trading Networks recognizes the TN XML document type of the business document, Trading Networks extracts specific pieces of information from the business document based on the document attributes specified in the TN XML document type.

For more information about TN XML document types, see the webMethods Trading Networks Administrator’s Guide for your release.
