Hi Vinay,

Please follow the link below to directly get the Xomlite.

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b05558c4-5517-2a10-67bc-f0d4a13c...

To understand the process of generating the XSD follow the guide below:

How to Generate XSD Schemas from Existing MDM 5.5 Repositories

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/bf0e8a97-0d01-0010-f0a2-af3b18b7...

Using this Xomlite, and following the process in the above guide, you will be able to generate an XSD, which you can upload in the Console and use for furthur activites. The XSD will contain the entire structure of the repository.

Hope this info helps.

Thanks and Regards

Use XML Spy you can get a 30 day trial version easily , and in there open the XML file & DTD/SChema menu -> generate XSD.

Hi Vinay,

For XSD creation of MDM repository,you need a software called Xomlite45.jar. This jar file along with Java runtime environment will help you create an XSD of an MDM rep.

You can do by using Export in Console -> You will get XML here -> Use xomLite to get XSD structure.

Please go through the below:

There's a How To at service.sap.com/mdm --> MDM How To Guides --> How to generate XSD Schemas from MDM repositories

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-mdm?rid=/webcontent/uuid/5024a59a-4276-2910-7580f52eb789194b [original link is broken]

There, you will find a .jar file for the extract and a pdf documentation on how it works.

Yes, all tables and fields are accomodated in the XSD.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,
