Hello, I am preparing the simple scenario file to file based on below link

/people/venkat.donela/blog/2005/03/02/introduction-to-simplefile-xi-filescenario-and-complete-walk-through-for-starterspart1

I have to create the namespace in the SCV. what is the use of namespace. I have come across the folder concept in PI7.1 while searching on SDN forum. It have created mess in my mind. What will be the differences of using folder and namespaces or both have the same purpose. Is it the use of namespace will be outdated from PI7.1

In PI 7.1 or working with any XML messages namespace is required.

So, its not like if you are working in folder then namespace is not required.

Folder concept is introduce to arrange your objects properly within a namespace. Since in PI 7.1 you will not find further four categries as Interface Objects, Mapping Objects, ...

Also by creating folder you can assign roles properly.

Hi,

namespaces are explained here:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a3/cc132914cf41e4a193c32627a87542/frameset.htm

Folders are explained in this blog:

I guess you still have namespaces but with 7.1 you can create folders inside of a namespace.
