Hi Vijay,

ED-standard schema for describing the message structure.If you have the structure provided to you from some external application you can use it in PI directly without recreating in PI.you can import following formats which are used to describe message schema

WSDL (Web Service Description Language),

XSD (XML Schema Definition Language),

DTDs (Document Type Definitions)

Imported Archives: its used basically for java and xslt mapping where you create the required mapping externally using some tools

(java-eclipse/NWDS .XSLT-stylus studio).You can also implement XSLT and Java mappingsf and save them as archives in the Integration Repository.

Hi

Imported Archive is used to import your Jar files(Java or xslt mapping) which you created for mapping.

External definition -- we can import ur XSD,WSDL structure which is used as source or target.
