Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004: Creating Schemas
(Page 1 of 7 )
In this tutorial from Microsoft Virtual Labs, you will learn how to use the BizTalk Schema Editor. You will start by creating a new BizTalk project. When you have finished, you will have created a custom schema for a sample company to meet requirements for submitting orders to a supplier.
Objectives
After completing this lab, you will be able to:
- Create a new BizTalk project.
- Create an XML schema by using BizTalk Schema Editor.
- Promote a schema property.
- Create a file schema by using BizTalk Schema Editor.
- Validate a schema and generate a sample instance message.
- Build a schema project.
Scenario
Northwind Traders has chosen to create a custom schema to meet their business requirements for submitting orders to a supplier. In this lab you will create a BizTalk project for the schema, and then define a customer order schema to define the structure of messages (documents) to be exchanged within the solution.
You will also promote several of the schema properties so that the property values can be referenced for content based routing purposes in the BizTalk orchestration that you will create in later labs.
After you have created the schemas and promoted the schema properties, you will use BizTalk Editor to generate a sample instance message and validate the schemas to check for any inconsistencies.
