Elements mapped to forms

While elements mapped to fields should have only maxOccurs=1, elements mapped to forms can have maxOccurs>1. (Elements mapped to fields can have maxOccurs>1, but at run time, only one element should appear in the incoming XML.)

Incoming XML elements mapped to forms

For incoming XML, you can map the base form only to an element with maxOccurs=1. (It is acceptable if maxOccurs>1 at design time, but at run time there is one element at most.)

You can map the child forms to elements with maxOccurs>1. If the number of XML elements does not fall in the range set by minOccurs and maxOccurs, it is invalid XML, and the client should not send a document containing such XML. However, BMC Remedy AR System ignores the minOccurs and maxOccurs constraints while parsing this XML.

For outgoing XML, you can map the base form to an element with maxOccurs>1 in case of publishing and a get operation. This implies that multiple entries in the base form are to be retrieved. If the number of entries in the base form is less than the minOccurs, BMC Remedy AR System returns an error. If the number of entries is more than the maxOccurs, BMC Remedy AR System returns only until the maxOccurs amount.

You can map child forms to elements with maxOccurs>1. If the number of matching entries in the child form does not fall in the range set by minOccurs and maxOccurs, BMC Remedy AR System returns an error.
