Idoc - DTD file - schema

[Former Member]

Hi,

In my outbound idoc scenario (without XI: we don't have any adapter!), i have to send idoc in XML format with schema (this the request of customer).

I don't know what schema is, if it's XSD file or other.

My answers is:

1) What is it schema (or XSD) file? I have to send always or just one first time?

2) the DTD file which i can set in WE21 for XML port is the same thing? If not, which differents?

Thanks lot.

In WE60 you are getting an xsd definition which can be saved to file and used later for development purposes.

XSD = schema

Thanks,

Usually the schema is sent each time, or one first time?

It is sent within the XML file with data or in a separate file?

Thanks lot.

Hi,

No schema usually is send to developer or system once in order to know how the xml will look like.

Hi,

schema is a definition of xml. It is metadata which describes what can be inside xml. You can find xsd in this transaction: WE60

2) the DTD file which i can set in WE21 for XML port is the same thing? If not, which differents?

DTD is another definition type but it's not the same as xsd.

Hello,

XSD and DTD are both XML schema languages.

For more information about them you can look here:
