XSD files

The Text Translator uses XSD files, a type of XML file, to convert flat files to and from XML format. Sterling™ Order Management System supplies four XSDs—two XSDs for data coming in from positional and delimited files and two XSDs for data from Sterling Order Management System to convert to positional and delimited flat files.

These files follow the standards defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

All four XSD files are designed specifically to correspond with the Sterling Order Management System APIs, and so they cannot be modified. However, you do need to refer to the XSDs when defining and implementing schema files.

Each of the following XSD files is described within this chapter:

• Text Translator Positional Receiver XSD File
• Text Translator Delimited Receiver XSD File
• Text Translator Positional Sender XSD File
• Text Translator Delimited Sender XSD File

These files are archived in the ycpbe.jar file in order to be used by Sterling Order Management System.
