Can't specify XML Schema root in MDM Syndicator

[Former Member]

Hello: I am using MDM 5.5 SP3, and I am trying to use Syndicator to output multilingual XML product descriptions. The XSD I am attempting to use is pasted below.

When I attempt to specify the Destination Properties and select the XSD file I have loaded into the repository via the Console, I am unable to select the "Root" (it is grayed out). I am unable to use the XSD in any way within Syndicator because the "OK" button is grayed out...I assume because Root has not been specified.

Any suggestions?

Thank you - Matt

I also tried this variant with no success. Changes are <b>in bold</b> and notes are <u>underlined</u>.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema">

<b><xs:element name="root">

<xs:complexType>

<xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded">

<xs:element ref="ProdDescription" />

</xs:choice>

</xs:complexType>

</xs:element></b>

<xs:element name="ProdDescription"> <u>previously: maxOccurs="unbounded"</u>

<xs:complexType>

<xs:sequence>

<xs:element name="ProdCatalogNum" type="xs:string"/>

<xs:element name="Description" type="xs:string" maxOccurs="unbounded">

<xs:sequence>

I solved my problem: here is the updated XSD:

I believe it was mostly due to the <b>bolded</b> line:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<b><xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"></b>

<xsd:element name="ProdDescription" type="ProdDescType"/>

<xsd:complexType name="ProdDescType">

<xsd:sequence>

<xsd:element name="ProdCatalogNum" type="xsd:string"/>

<xsd:element name="Description" type="DescriptionType" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

</xsd:sequence>

</xsd:complexType>

<xsd:complexType name="DescriptionType">

<xsd:sequence>

<xsd:element name="Language" type="xsd:string"/>

<xsd:element name="Value" type="xsd:string"/>

</xsd:sequence>

</xsd:complexType>

</xsd:schema>
