HI,
We are facing some issue with CXML. I have posted a new thread [cXML with SAP PI;. 
The content of that thread is pasted below: You can give your solution in the above mentioned thread so that I can grant points.
We need to use cXML for our project. Based on the thread ( [Error while uploading CXML data definition.; )
the following steps need to be done with the cXML DTD.
1.First Delete the Multiple Declaration of "Method .ANY"
2.replace all "ds:" character with 'ds_'
3.replace all "xades: " with 'xades_'
4.replace all "xmlns" with 'attr_'
5) After this use Altova to convert the DTD to XSD.
First of all, we could not carry out the 4th point, as in that case Altova says that it is invalid, and it fails to get imported in PI as well.
Without step 4 , if we import it as external definition, then there are certain attributes with type xml:lang coming in Red.
Can anybody tell us on how to fix this.
Thanks,
Himadri
