XSD Schema Data Type ReUse Difficulty
HablaElBiz
schemas, but I'm not having any luck figuring out how to do so.
Schemas Listed by MsgType (NS#RootNode):
#FIDCCH01 (note: no namespace)
#FIDCCP01 (note: no namespace)
Learning.BizTalk2004.SchemaReuse.Schemas#NewDocument1 (note: has
a namespace)
(NS info given above because I know it plays into whether you Import,
Include or Redefine)
I'd like my NewDocument1 to have these two (somewhat buried) node
structures defined / referenced / re-used in it:
FIDCCH01/IDOC/E1FIREF
Trying to re-use this as NewDocument1/IDOCS/IDOC/E1FIREF
FIDCCP01/IDOC/E1FIKPF
Trying to re-use this as NewDocument1/IDOCS/IDOC/E1FIKPF
I'm struggling to find a way to define the data type and etc of
these buried nodes inside the FIDCCH01 and FIDCCP01 schemas such that
they're defined and exposed as global complex data types that can be
reused in a new schema when imported/include/redefined.
In FIDCCH01.xsd and FIDCCP01.xsd, I've taken the following steps:
* Select the node to be made into a complex data type.
* Set its Content Type to 'ComplexContent'
* Set its Data Structure Type to Global<Node's Name>Type.
* And then saved the resulting XSD changes before working on the
NewDocument1Schema.xsd.
In my NewDocument1 schema, if I Import the XSD's then the only data
type I see to set a new record node to is 'NewDocument1 (Reference), or
xs:anyType'. I don't see any of the global complex types that I think
I've created in the imported XSD's.
In my NewDocument 1 schema, if I Include the XSD's, then I get the
error like "Type 'GlobalE1FIREFType' is not declared. An error occured
at file://<FIDCCH01.xsd's filename> (<line number of error>, <column of
error>)". So I can't import the schema where I tried to create the
global complex data type.
I'm running BTS 2004 with SP1. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
I've tinkered to the point that I have little/no schedule left, but
would really like to re-use these schemas (or schema nodes really) in
what I'm thinking is the right way.
To get by, I've (via NotePad) physically copied the xsd node
structure data into place right inside the New Document1.XSD, but I'd
really rather use BizTalk's Editor tool to do what I'm thinking it
should be able to do. When or if my (SAP) target changes their schema,
they'll send me the whole FIDCCH01 and FIDCCP01 schemas, each of which
includes a duplicated rather than referenced node and that will create
work for me in getting any changes or updates incorporated into
NewDocument1 in the future.
If it helps, I can provide the actual schemas, but I'm thinking the
info above probably will have the basics covered.
Thanks in advance - Any help appreciated!

It sure would help to see the specific files. At the very least, could you
provide the definitions for each of the types? Are you sure that you've
converted the original element definitions you want to reuse in the base
schemas into a named complex types?

You can read about this stuff in the Help for BizTalk 2006. (not 2004) There
is good explanation of inhetitance in XSD.

Cool to have either of you respond to my post.
I don't have access to BizTalk 2006 at this time. (or is the help
file available somewhere online?).
Here are the Schemas that I'm talking about. I had to shorten the
re-used ones to fit the allowed 190,000 characters per post limit, but
the nodes removed are not important ones to this issue/question.
The to-be re-used schemas are as they sit with my attempt at having
created global complex types.

I've responded to your personal mail already, but I'll copy the answer here;
others might find it useful.
Here's what I wrote to Curtis:
1- Making the elements you have in the reusable schemas into global
complexTypes correctly is easy: Just select the element you want to turn
into a global complexType and in the properties window, set the Data
Structure Type to the name you want to give your complexType. Example, name
it E1FIKPF_CT, then save your schema. That will do it correctly.
2- Referencing this usually is very easy: Just import (<xs:import>) the
schema, create a new "Child Element Node", and then set the DataType
property (or a Child Record and set the Data Structure Type property) to the
complexType you created in step 1.
The real catch as to why it didn't work for you is because, indeed, your
imported schemas have no targetNamespace. Now, this is perfectly valid in
XSD, however, it confuses the biztalk editor because of the defaults it
uses. See, you cannot create a prefixed namespace declaration for the empty
("") namespace, and, unfortunately, biztalk schemas by default have the
default namespace set at the root to the targetNamespace of the schema
you're creating. Thus, you have no real way to reference the imported types
(since doing it unqualified form would point to types created in the same
XSD and not in the imported ones, and you can't qualify them either).
The solution is actually very simple: Just hand edit the schema to make sure
that the default namespace is not getting changed (i.e. change
xmlns="http://Learning.BizTalk2004.SchemaReuse.Schemas", to, say,
xmlns:h="http://Learning.BizTalk2004.SchemaReuse.Schemas". After that, the
complexTypes you imported will correctly appear and biztalk will let you
reference them correctly!
