NextGen CM/ECF XML Case Opening and Docketing v1.5

The XML Case Opening module allows more data to be captured through an uploaded XML file and streamlines the data entry process for attorneys. This information is intended for bankruptcy petition preparation software vendors to open a bankruptcy case in NextGen CM/ECF, following the guidelines for XML submission of the bankruptcy petition and relevant documents, as defined in the Information Exchange Package Documentation (IEPD). Vendor software should be updated to communicate with NextGen CM/ECF web services and submit XML data, but also continue providing the PDF, which is the official record in the case. When a case has been opened with XML, the post-petition filing of missing or amended schedules, statements and/or other relevant forms should be filed with XML.
