Missing XSD line in XML file - how to add it?

[Former Member]

Dear all,

We're trying to add in the XSD information to a file generated from R/3 by a standard program, which the developers don't want to adapt, as it's used by several other programs. We'd like to do this in XI - does anyone know how or have any experience about why this would be a bad idea?

Many thanks in advance,

Hi Lisa,

What I understood from your question is: SAP is generating a file and you want to add few more things to that file in XI.

If we both are on the same page then you can create a xsd or extend the current xsd with the additional fields and then can load the file and send across XI.

If we are not on the same page then can you throw some more light on this?

Hi Satish,

Thank you for your quick reply!

We would like to add one line of fixed text at the start of the file, but we'd like to add this in XI and not in R/3.

Warm regards,

Lisa,

You can pick the whole line in the file as one record. Then in mapping you can create two fields in your target side and for the first field you can map the constant line and for second field you can map the whole record which should take care of your isssue.
