Procedure: How to Create an XML Schema
  1. Expand the connected target node and locate the method for which you want to create XML request and response schemas.

    For example, for SAP ERP, expand Business Object Repository, Logistics - General, Logistics Basic Data, Material Master, Material, and select GetList, as shown in the following image.

  2. Right-click GetList, and click Open Schemas from the menu, as shown in the following image.

    iWay Explorer generates XML request and response schemas for the selected command. By default, the Response tab in the right pane is selected (active), and iWay Explorer displays the XML response schema in that pane.

Procedure: How to Export an XML Schema
  1. Right-click the SAP ERP method whose schemas you want to export, for example, GetList.

  2. From the menu, click either Export Request Schema or Export Response Schema.

    The Save As dialog box opens, as shown in the following image.

  3. Select the folder on your file system in which to store the exported schema. By default, iWay Explorer stores the file in your workspace folder, followed by the path that you specify on the Save As dialog box.
  4. Type a name for the exported schema. By default, the file name extension is .xsd.
  5. Click OK when you are done.

    iWay Explorer stores the exported schema in the folder that you selected, using the name that you supplied.

    After you browse the list of business objects on your SAP ERP system, you can create iWay Business Services. For more information, see Creating and Publishing iWay Business Services.

    After the schemas are created, you also can create events. For more information, see Configuring Event Handling.
