The file begins with a Header record and ends with an identical Trailer record, as defined above. The fields from the data record are directly mapped to fields on the Output side of the map.
The TempLink in the LinkingRecord group is present to ensure that the extended rules (on the Output side of the map) which are responsible for writing out the schema namespaces and the Sterling B2B Integrator version attributes for the SI_RESOURCES document element are executed.
