How Incoming Messages Work
Incoming XML messages are translated into application specific XML documents which are referred to as MLXML documents. MLXML documents are used to insert, update, or delete TIBCO MDM repositories.
Translation of incoming XML messages is done using a workflow activity Translate. The Translate activity uses an XSL file as one of the input parameters. The file path should be relative to MQ_COMMON_DIR.
When an incoming message is received from a partner/sender, the application performs mapping translation where attributes/tags in the incoming message are mapped to attributes in the repository. On occasion, there may be attributes in the incoming message that are not mapped to any attribute in the repository. This may be due to reasons such as incorrect or incomplete mappings or changes to the format or content in the incoming message. In either case, TIBCO MDM detects the mapping deficiency and notifies the user about the problem so that it can be rectified.
When a mapping error is encountered, the user is notified via e-mail.
