Converting XML file to DTD or XSD file

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

We're currently doing an IDOC to File. The file should be in XML format. Right now, we have a sample XML file. We need to convert the file to DTD or XSD and then upload this in XI to be able to get it structure. We've tried different conversion tools to do this, however, the converted DTD/XSD file still has errors when we load it to XI. What we're thinking is to create a data type to achieve this. These are some of the fields in the file.

<messageHeader creationDate>

<catellae:gTTSDataDelivery creationDate="X" (...)>

*/<catellae:(…)>/<txnId>

*/<catellae:(…)>/<items>/<item>/<quantity>

*/<catellae:(…)>/<items>/<item>/<unitOfMea>

*/<catellae:(…)>/<items>/<item>/<prodDesc>/<matType>

*/<catellae:(…)>/<shipToAddress>/<nameAndAddress>/<city>

*/<catellae:(…)>/<shipToAddress>/<contactInformation>/<communicationChannel (…)

It seems that there are more than 3 nodes. And in XI, only three nodes are allowed. Could you tell us how should we create the data type for this? Thanks in advance!

Mariel,

What is this catellae:(…) ? Is this is ur structure? XI won't allow Special characters like : while creating Data type.

Hi,

Have you tried Stylus Studio or XMLSPY to do this ?
