SYMPTOMS

When use FIXML or STPML schemas in the Orchestration Designer to create message fields, you cannot create message fields with the same name. A dialog box appears with the following message:
This field name is already in use. Please choose another name.

CAUSE

FIXML and STPML schemas have node names that repeat throughout the schema. When you create message fields with the Port Binding wizard, the wizard requires unique names for the message fields. The Orchestration XML Communication Wizard does not allow the creation of message fields with the same name.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, type a unique name for the selected message field when you use the XML Communication Wizard. In the Field Selection dialog box that is used when selecting nodes, type a unique name in the Field name: text box.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce This Behavior

  1. Open the Orchestration Designer.
  2. Drag an Action shape from the left pane onto the left page.
  3. Drag the Messaging Queue shape from the right pane onto the right page, and then complete the wizard.
  4. Connect the Action shape to the port.
  5. Click the Next button three times.
  6. Type the word Test in the Message Type text box, and then click the Next button.
  7. Browse for an STPML schema, and then click Open.
  8. Click Add and navigate through the tree until you find a repeating node, and then click OK.
  9. Click Add and navigate through the tree until you find another instance of the repeating node. Click OK.
To resolve this problem, provide a unique name in the Field name: text box when you are mapping a message field to a repeating node that has already been referenced.
