Hi,
I am new to WTX and kind of still learning its features. I am using WTX on Datapower to transform a copybook to xml. I am seeing that certain componant rules that work on Transformataion Extender runtime are getting removed when I try to build using the Extender Studio's DataPower runtime.

I have a Record with 3 high level groups(which in turn has many subgroups) shown below.

+ INQ_HEADER Group
+ INQ_FULL_DETAIL Group (with component rule: TXN_TYP_CD Field:MESSAGE_HEADER:INQ_HEADER Group="P")
+ INQ_PARTIAL_DETAIL Group (with component rule: TXN_TYP_CD Field:MESSAGE_HEADER:INQ_HEADER Group="F"

where TXN_TYP_CD Field:MESSAGE_HEADER:INQ_HEADER is part of the INQ_HEADER Group.

The above rules work fine when we build on Webspehere Transformation Extender runtime, but they are getting removed when I try to compile for DataPower.(I get the warning message while building that the rule is removed)

The version of Websphere Transformation Design Studio I am using is 8.2.0.4-Build 77

Please advise.
Thanks in advance!!

Using WTX in Datapower mode has a number of restrictions which are documented here
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/integration/datapower/library/prod_docs/2Q2009/3.7.3-IntegratingWithWTX.pdf

Some are sort of logical, some are not so. As time and releases goes by I imagine the not so logical ones will decrease.

Tony, Tim mentioned that the WDP runtime imposes restrictions on component rules. I just also wanted to mention that there is an ifix2 for 8.2.0.4 that you do not seem to have applied. I would recommend updating to that version although it will not alter the behavior of the WDP component rule restrictions.

Thanks a bunch for the info Tim and lanapoli!! The document was very informative (especially the section that states what would not work on DP) and I will get the interim fix downloaded.
I was able to resolve my original problem using Partition logic and rules that work on DP.
