Description |
|
There is a problem with
the ChangedOnDate not being correctly translated when transferring the
InventoryLevel business object from ICS to the MRO adapter. This
problem can be corrected by modifying the appropriate convert.xsl file.
Workaround:
Locate the ICSdir\connectors\Mro\translations\xslt\cw\mro\InventoryLevel\convert.xsl
file and edit it, where ICSdir is the directory in which InterChange
Server resides. Change the following line from:
<xsl:variable
name="changedate" select="Attribute[@name = 'ChangeOnDate']" />
to:
<xsl:variable
name="changedate" select="Attribute[@name = 'ChangedOnDate']" />
and save the file. |
