About Order Sequence Fulfillment Mode XQuery Expressions

This topic describes how to use the Orchestration Sequence editor Fulfillment Mode area XQuery tab to write an expression that specifies the fulfillment mode for the orchestration sequence from a customer order element and has the following characteristics:

Context: The input document for the Fulfillment Mode Expression area XQuery is the customer order. For more information about typical customer order structures, see OSM Concepts.
Prolog: The input document for the Fulfillment Mode Expression area XQuery is the incoming customer order. You must declare the customer order namespace in the XQuery prolog.
Body: The XQuery body must specify the fulfillment mode.

Typically, the fulfillment mode is specified in the order header. For example:

<im:FulfillmentModeCode>Deliver</im:FulfillmentModeCode>

In the following example, the XQuery looks in the incoming customer order (SalesOrder) for the <FulfillmentModeCode> element. It returns the text contained in that element.

declare namespace
im="http://xmlns.oracle.com/InputMessage";
<osm:fulfillmentMode name="{fn:normalize-space(.//im:SalesOrder/im:DataArea/im:FulfillmentModeCode/text())}"

This is the XML in the incoming customer order:

<im:FulfillmentModeCode>Deliver</im:FulfillmentModeCode>

In this case, the XQuery returns Deliver.
