punchout source code

[Former Member]

I have several vendors that want me to provide them with the punchout source code in order to troubleshoot issues. How can I do this? I've given them the parameters and values I have defined in the catalog call structure but this is not what they need, they want the cXML code. Is there code that is generated behind the scenes for OCI?

Best regards,

I'm also trying to get a better understanding in this area. I'm not sure if this will help, but I have discovered that if you take the link you have entered in your catalog configuration and input it into the internet address field ( )

you will be give XML data.

For example I put the MSC (vendor) link for URL in the internet address area. (not within SRM/EBP) https://xml1.mscdirect.com/CGI/ARIBAIN and I get XML data in return.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<!DOCTYPE cXML (View Source for full doctype...)>

- <cXML payloadID="456778-199@cxml.mscdirect.com" xml:lang="en-US" timestamp="1999-03-12T18:39:09-08:00" version="1.1.009">

</cXML>

However, when I use the link within EBP, I'm taken to their web site.
