Hi,

So how can I justify to use which element or sub element and at what time and what scenario

Is this scenario specific like ex: idoc>PI>SOAP or

It is standard for all the scenario's when creating data types

what is xsd to be used at the time creating data types

I also see an option of data types apart from xsd,what is the difference and which one to use at what time

Please advise

Pooja,

u will come to know according to your business requirement suppose for example

A

1

2

3

B

4

5

in the above 123 are elements A and B subelements actaully these structures will be given in functional requirements in mappings according to that u will come to know

XSD depends on what type of data coming from sorce field if it is Numbers or charcters or boolean values ,date ,what type of this u should use u will come to know when u see the sorce structure

depend on that u will select the XSD

String almost supports all types of XSD

Hi,

what is the difference between max and min occurences

when to use 0:1 and 0:unbounded and 1:unbounded

>what is the difference between max and min occurences

when to use 0:1 and 0:unbounded and 1:unbounded

If your field element or node is not mandatory and if occurs that can appear only one time then use 0:1

if your field element or node is not mandatory and if occurs it can go up to many times then use 0:unbounded

if your field element or node is mandatory and it can show up multiple times then give occurence 1 to many i.e 1 to Unbounded

hope that helps
