Introduction - First things First!

Sometimes in life, it is necessary to make common tasks easier, for eg. generating schemas from already existing XML documents. For instance we might receive a XML document from a client and then we would need to make some changes to it and create messages within an Orchestration. This article shows a quick demo on how to create a schema from an existing XML document.

Step 1: Configuring BizTalk to process Valid-XML and DTD documents

Step 1 : Navigate to the folder shown in the screen shot shown...

Execute the vbs scripts from the command-line window. This will enable the processing of DTD documents and valid XML documents.
