CXML-RECEIVER

cXML Receiver is the destination-party concept in cXML, represented by the <To> block or by the HTTP POST URL materialising the application endpoint.

Definition

Although the cXML DTD does not explicitly use <Receiver>, the term covers the combination <To> + endpoint URL defining where the message arrives. The <Credential> in <To> identifies the destination party (DUNS, NetworkId); the target HTTP URL locates the receiving application.

Origin

Implicit concept since cXML 1.0, formalised in Ariba Network integration guides since 2003.

Use

For an OrderRequest sent through Ariba Network, the application receiver is the supplier-configured POST URL (e.g. https://erp.supplier.example/cxml-receiver) while the commercial Receiver party sits in <To><Credential domain="DUNS"><Identity>123456789</Identity></Credential></To>.
