How to create an XSD file

[Former Member]

Hello Guys

Are there any instructions (Steps) out there to create an XSD file to use in SOAP adapter?

I have a table with the following fields and need to create an XSD file to import in ID to configure a sender SOAP adapter.

ID Type NUMC Lenth 10

FNAME Type CHAR Length 20

LNAME Type CHAR Length 20

Any feedback or response will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

Generally, adapters are independent of the message types that you want to exchange.

You have to create all necessary object in Integration Repository, here you can create either DataType based on an existing XSD or you can use data type editor, you can also import xsd as an external definition. Then you create message types, interfaces, mappings etc.

In Integration Directory you will configure earlier created objects and you will configure SAOP adapter as a communication channel of your Business System/Service.

Why do you need to create a XSD if its a SOAP scenario?

You can use the existing WSDL to get the structure.

In any case if u want to create a XSD, use xml tools like XMLSpy etc to help.
