Defining Identifying Queries

B2B Integration : Trading Networks Administrator's Guide : Creating XML Document Types : Creating an XML Document Type : Specifying Criteria for Matching Inbound Documents to the Document Type : Defining Identifying Queries

You can specify that certain nodes must be present for inbound documents to match the document type. You must also specify the values those nodes must have. To do so, you define identifying XQL queries.

For example, the identifying query below specifies that the OrderRequest tag must be present:

/cXML[0]/Request[0]/OrderRequest[0]

The identifying query below specifies that the Identity tag within the Credential tag that is within the Sender tag must be present, and the Identity tag must evaluate to XYZ Steel Company:

/cXML[0]/Header[0]/Sender[0]/Credential[0]/XYZ Steel Company

For complete information about identifying queries, see XQL Reference.

If you are using a sample document, select in the left panel the node for which to define an identifying query, click

More Actions next to the Query field, and select Add Query. In the Add Identifying Query dialog box, Trading Networks fills in the XQL query and value for the node.

Note:

The node is applicable for DATETIME, STRING, or NUMBER data types. If you want to use DATETIME LIST, STRING LIST, NUMBER (with Average, Minimum, Maximum, and Sum), or NUMBERLIST data types, update the query so that it identifies an array of values.

If you are not using a sample document, click Add in the Identifying Queries panel on the right. In the Add Identifying Query dialog box, type the query and, optionally, the value.
