Hi Jose,

I would like to know wich is the path where i have to put the xml schemas that after when we are configurating the ports selected them in the format file features.

In addition to Jitesh and Alok,

The following are the steps:

1. Uploading the XML schema in Console, under

Admin->XMLSchema ( as mentioned by Alok). You can take the schema form your local desktop.

2. Then you can use it for both importing and syndicating( exporting).

3. If you want to import an XML file through a port, then create a port of type Inbound and format - XML Schema.

4. You cannot import an XML file directly through a port. You can only do it using an XML Schema.

Now, through Import Manager, choose :

Type : Port

Remote System : Choose your Remote System

Port: Choose the Inbound port in which you have taken the format as XML Schema.

Place the XML file in the Ready Folder and then you can import the Import Manager.

5. If in respect to syndicator, you want to use the uploaded XML Schema in Destination Properties. Choose the type as XML Schema and then select the XML you have uploaded.

You can then do the mapping in the syndicator.

Since We are not sure of the requirement, These are various possbile scenario you may use the XML Schema.

Hope it helps.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Jose,

Whenever you are importing or exporting a file from MDM or into MDM you need to mention the file format.

There are differnt formats to do this

If we are taking the case of XML schema.

Importing:

- If you are importing a file based on some xml schema (eg matmas 05) then you need to create that schema and upload it in MDM under Console->Admin->Xml Schema.

Give a schema name and upload the created schema.

- So now when you want to import a source file which is in the format of the uploaded Xml schema,then you need to mention the type as XML schema in the import manager dialog box,select the created schema,and browse to the location of the source file.

Your source file can be placed any where on the local sytem or in the ready folder if you are using a remote system for importing.

Syndication:

- If you are syndicating a file in the format of XML then you need to create a XSD file using Xomlite.

- Thne in file ->Destination properties select the XML schema that you want to use to do the the item mapping.

- The Schema appears ad your destination structure.

- Do the field mapping

- Then you can syndicate to which ever location you wnat ,on the local system or a ports ready folder.

Hope it helped

your requirement is a little bit confused. Could you please elaborate more on it??

However XML schemas are saved in Console under Admin-->XML schemas and ADD new schema.

and while creating ports-->format (xml schema) and put that added schema in xml schema tab.

Hi,

If you want to send data out from MDM to other system then

you have to create the Outbound port and put the file into

the path shown as an example

E.g.

C:\Program Files\SAP MDM 5.5\Server\Distributions\MDMServer_name\Repository_name\Outbound\Remotesystem_name\Port_name\Ready

Similarly if you want to import data into MDM from other systems then create the Inbound port and put the file into the path shown as an example

E.g.

C:\Program Files\SAP MDM 5.5\Server\Distributions\MDMServer_name\Repository_name\Inbound\Remotesystem_name\Port_name\Ready

Thanks & Regards,
