Handling Referenced XSDs in SAP PI

 
  
Above screenshot refers to the main document (zip file) given by the client

Above screenshot refers to the main document:

“IAXSAPVendVendTable_IAXSAPVendVendTableService update_main_v4”

which has the reference of “entityKeyList” and “IAXSAPVendVendTable_IAXSAPVendVendTableService.update_v4” files.

Again XSD structure “entityKeyList” has a
referenced structure “entityKey” as shown in the screenshot below.

Step 1: First create the Orphan substructures which doesn’t have any referenced structure.

Create an external definition   : “VendorUpdate_entityKey”

Step2: Now create the parent /referenced object   “VendorUpdate_entityKeyList” as shown below:

In the referenced tab, please give the referenced XSD file name (in this case it is entityKey.xsd)

Note: As, we need this XSD to be referred in the main document, copy the file name under “Source”

Step 3: Create external definition VendorUpdate_V4, our second orphan XSD by importing

IAXSAPVendVendTable_IAXSAPVendVendTableService.update_v4.xsd file from folder location which is referenced by the main XSD structure.

Copy the same name and paste in the Source i.e. IAXSAPVendVendTable_IAXSAPVendVendTableService.update_v4.xsd
as per the referred screenshot below.

Step 4 :

Now import the main XSD using an external definition (parent node) named VendorUpdate_Main_V4 and import the corresponding zipped file referred in screenshot 1.

The referenced XSD substructures are referred in the below screenshot.

Now we can view the referenced structures and their corresponding fields below.
