Is it possible to reference XSD with in a XSD strucutre in PI?

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a XSD in which one field is referencing another xsd. I impoted referenced xsd and the main xsd as External Defination but I am unable to see/get the all fields from the reference xsd. where as in XMLSPY I am able to see the entire structure with out any problem.

Can any one please give your input to solve this problem.

Thanks

Rajeev.

Hi Rajeev,

The problem is in reference. I mean after importing both XSDs as External Definition(ED), you need to refer the ED of referenced XSD in the "Source" field of ED of main XSD.

Ex,

XSD1 --> ED1

XSD2 --> ED2

Go to ED2 --> Source --> Mention name of ED1 --> save and acivate --> then it will work.

Hope it wil help.

Hi Rajeev,

Yes it is possible to refer another XSD from one XSD. In this case the referd XSD will come as href in Payload.

You must be using SOAP Adapter.

The problem is SOAP does not support more than one body child. If a SOAP message with several body childs arrive, then only the first child is considered, all other body childs are ignored.

this is happening in your case.

Hi Guys,

Yes I imported the external references first and I can see all of them in external tad.

I used import and include statements in the main xsd. I am just wondering where would be the problem.

Also fill the field Source in the external definition with the name of the file, so that the second file referencing this XSD can find it.

Kind regards,

You shouldn't use import statement. Just use include statement.

Hi,

As Koen de Vries mentioned above,

IN Ext Def --> Source

provide the "Source" field correctly in the corresponding XSDs, this is the field which is referenced in other XSDs. (this has to be the actual file name "abc.xsd"). all XSDs should have this.

we had similar issue & the above is the solution.

No, its not possible to edit the XSD content after imported in PI.

but as I said earlier you can have the full structure (by referencing the ED1 in source field of ED2). Have you tried that?

HI,

Here is the XSD strucutres:

Main XSD:

I see the source and target has the same names mentioned. Please advise how can I slove this problem of getting fields of referenced xsd?

Thanks alot

Hi,

this has nothing to do with your XSDs..

when you imported them as External definition in IR..

For all XSDs, you are importing, you have to fill the field called "Source" in the IR (ext def object) in XI.

this is in the same screen where you import your XSD (just below the field "File")

this shud have the value as i mentioned above in my post.

then you can see all the referencing XSDs.

Vishnu

Hi Rajeev,

Follow the points.

1. Name the Main XSD as MaterialDefinition.xsd and import it as ED, named ED_MaterialDefinition

2. Name the referenced XSD as MaterialDefinitionExtension.xsd and import it as ED, named ED_MaterialDefinitionExtension

3. Open ED_MaterialDefinitionExtension and go to EDIT mode

4. In EDIT mode, go to "SOURCE" field and enter the following information " MaterialDefinition.xsd"

5. Save and Activate

To check,

6. Open ED_MaterialDefinition and go to reference tab, there you can find the referenced message

Hi,

I already see the references xsd in the references tad of External Defination in PI. I also followed your points but still I am unable to get the required fields in the main xsd.

Thanks

[madanmohan_agrawal]

Hi rajeev,

where are you looking for the referenced fields??in ED....then its not the place.

Go to Message Mapping --> Choose the ED of Main XSD (first remove the old one if exist) and then you can find all your required fields.

Hi,

Solved finally.

Many thanks fopr your input.

Thanks

Hi,

First import file1 under external definition. Now use the following in file2

<xsd:include schemaLocation="file1.xsd"/>

Regards,

Sarvesh

[prateek]

In the XSD, while clicking on External reference, could you see the other xsd? First you should import the referenced xsd and then the main one.

Are you using import statement or an incluede statement in xsd?
