I've got a message set that has been created via the WSDL/XSD import wizard. This has by default set the Default message domain as SOAP and the supported message domains are SOAP and XMLNSC.
Within the message defn I have an element called productId that is defined as type xsd:string.
The logical properties are:
Simple type : xsd:string
Value Constraints: Length - blank, Min -1, Max -18, all other properties default.
How do I set the element so that the field is padded (with '0' character) to the max field length of 18. For example, the Web service call send in the XML element as '123' and I want to send an output message as '000000000000000123' from the message flow. I know that I can do the padding in a compute node the message flow but I'm assuming this can be done in the message set definition....
I've done searches on MQSeries.net to no avail and also trawled the toolkit help. |

XMLNSC uses the facilities of XML schema. XML schema does not provide any such padding facility.
XMLNSC does not use the information in the message set. It only uses the XML schemas which are generated from the mxsd files, and which are deployed in the xsdzip file. So fiddling with message set properties would be a waste of time.
I suggest that you use a Compute node.
...or speak to the team which maintains the downstream application and persuade them not to be so picky about the format of their input XML  |

Why? That's not what the schema defines. If it did, the min length would be 18 (and that's not even starting with this padding with zeros).

Vitor, schema should be min=18 and max=18 but SAP adapter incorrectly setit as min=1, max=18.
Agree with Kimbert and will do the padding in the ESQL. Is there a simple way of doing this ? |

Yes. There's a simple ESQL function. |
