If the Create item text from XML checkbox is selected, in the Task Card Item window, the following text will be displayed:

Bombardier Re-Structured T/C Loader:

In order for the Bombardier T/C loader schema for aircraft Q400 and CRJ-705/900 to be loaded correctly into TRAX, the Category of the TraxDoc must be set to 'MTCMQ400'. This Category is hard-coded to communicate with the upgraded .JAR file. As such, users must create a new TraxDoc Category transaction code called 'MTCMQ400.

Note: Changing the Category of an existing TraxDoc is not enough to update the new Bombardier loader schema. A new TraxDoc must be created with this Category and JAR file.

Further, a JAR file from 06/03/2014 or more recent must be applied to the TraxDoc load. The JAR files from this date onward will contain the required enhancements needed to communicate with the updated Bombardier T/C loader schema. This necessary JAR file is included in the TRAX installer package (the MSI), as usual.
