• List of Messages with Links to DTDs, Schemas, and Sample XML
Overview: The following table presents the XML messages processed through Order Management System. It also includes links to the DTD and schema for each message, and a link to a sample XML file illustrating the appearance of the message with every element and attribute populated with character strings.
Opening the files: When you click on the link to a file, it opens in the default program associated with the file type on your computer.
How to set up the default program association: One way to associate each of these file types with a default program is to use the File Types option, available by selecting Tools > Folder Options in Windows Explorer. See your Microsoft Windows online help for more information on using this option.
The file extension for each of these file types is:
• DTD = .dtd
• schema = .xsd
• XML = .xml
How to tell if you have a default program association: Open one of the associated files by navigating to the folder where it is located and double-clicking. For example, to open a DTD, go to the DTDs folder through Windows Explorer. When you double-click the DTD file:
• if a program launches automatically to open the file, this is the default program associated with this file type.
• if a window prompts you to select a program, there is no default program associated with the file type. Use the steps above to set up the default program association, or select a program through the window and indicate to always use that program to open this type of file.
Troubleshooting:
• Your application (Acrobat or Internet Explorer) might display a warning in a pop-up window the first time you click the link to one of these file types. You can disable the warning by selecting Do not show this message again and then clicking Open.
• Depending on the configuration of your server, clicking on the link to a DTD might open a window indicating that the XML page cannot be displayed. To view the DTD, right-click anywhere on the page and select View Source.
• Certain applications, such as some text editors, do not enable you to open a link to a file whose complete directory path includes any blank spaces. Instead, when you attempt to launch the application in order to view the file, you see an error message indicating that it cannot find the file. You can change the default program association for the file type, or you can open the file directly within the external application using its File > Open command. Each of the sample file types are available in a subfolder of the online help main folder:
- DTDs are stored in the DTDs subfolder
- schemas are stored in the schemas subfolder
- sample XMLs are stored in the sample XMLs subfolder
For more information: See Integration Layer Processes and Web Services for background and troubleshooting information.
