Transaction Code Processing

Question

Hey Docu-junkies,
I'm trying to implement the use of transaction codes to be used in the triggering of forms.
I am able to set up transaction codes in the BDF (NB=New Business, RP=Reprint, AR=Archive Only).
I have a Formlist set up and have added forms and have assigned each form to the proper transaction code.
What I don't understand is how to map the transaction code to my input XML. The source system is sending me New Business, or Reprint ... I just know how to associate the Transaction code in my BDF to the specific XML tag.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi DaveS,
Please define the following in your Fsisys.ini
< DocSetNames >
TransactionType = trn_type
< TRN_Fields >
trn_type = !/Policy/TransactionCode
P.S: I am assuming that Policy is your Root in the Input XML. If not, please have the appropriate Xpath
Please also make sure that "trn_type" is defined in the Trndfdl.dfd file. Now, all you need to do additionally are:
a) Please define the Transaction Type or Code "NB" in your BDF file. You may refer it from the DMStudio guide under the Section:
DEFINING TRANSACTION TYPES -> ADDING A TRANSACTION CODE
b) Please add the Transaction code for the Forms trigger in your GRP file.
While adding the Form level trigger, under Advanced ->
Select Transaction Codes -> By including one or more transaction codes in this field, you trigger a particular form
(or section) only if the extract file record includes that particular transaction code.
You can choose more than one transaction codes also.
Thanks
