Definitions with empty groups cause an unreadable PCF to be generated

18/03/2008 3:09:52 p.m.

When a message definition has empty groups with no children, a warning number 2001 is generated. If the warning is ignored and the definition is then used to create a PCF file to be loaded into either the Java or .NET Symphonia EDI Engine, an error will be generated stating that it is an invalid PCF file.

When testing a mapping, Map Designer appears to skip processing of some statements

4/03/2008 11:33:22 a.m.

If a mapping has code similar to the following, where a statement contains a reference to a subfield of a composite type, for example,

if ( isempty( in.DateTimeOfMessage.Day ) )
{ 
    // do something
} 
else
{ 
    // do something else
}

the entire statement may be skipped when tested. In addition, if breakpoints are set on the statement and the mapping is debugged, none of the breakpoints are hit.

Syntax errors in mapping code cause Map Designer to terminate

4/03/2008 9:34:57 a.m.

In editing a mapping in Map Designer, sometimes the mapping text entered by the user may contain a syntax error. Some errors, once entered, can cause the Map Designer to terminate, making it difficult to edit and correct the error, as the Designer crashes each time the code with the error is displayed.

XSD fails to import into Mapper

26/04/2006 1:48:08 p.m.

The Mapper has to validate an xsd schema before it can be used. This validation is often stricter than commonly used validators like XML Spy, Schema for Schema etc. These commonly available validators often only perform partial validation. Also some valid xsd schema concepts are not supported by the Mapper the main one is using elements from a schema that has not been imported (i.e. The schema will be specified by the xml document). The Mapper xsd schema validation is stricter because it has to build a complete document model at creation time. This document model is what allows the document tree to be displayed and the compile time warning/errors to be produced.

XSD in XML Composer

26/04/2006 1:47:45 p.m.

XML Composer was released in 1999 to support the current DTD and XML schema format. Subsequently W3C released the XSD schema format which remodeled and extended the DTD and XML schema concepts. The xsd schema import functionality was written to convert basic xsd schemas into SXD for use in the Mapper or Rhapsody. The import functionality only supports a subset of xsd schema concepts as the underlying format used by Symphonia cannot support many of the newer features of xsd schemas which were not present in the older formats. Often schemas will fail to import all together or they will import but the sxd created would be inconsistent with the original xsd schema.

In version 3.8 of Symphina the need for converting xsd schemas into sxd for use in the Mapper or Rhapsody was remove as these product now support xsd schemas directly.

Decimal separator not used by Mapper

External function DLL has no function

4/02/2005 10:50:48 a.m.

In Mapper the user may add their own external functions by way of DLLs. These are made available by adding the folder they are contained in to a path that is searched for relevent DLLs, which are then loaded into memory, when Mapper is started.

All DLLs in these folders must contain external functions. There can be no other DLLs in these folders, otherwise the Mapper will try to load them.

Knowledge Base Article 10308 discusses a problem due to an excessive number of DLLs being loaded into memory when the Mapper starts.
