Integration

I have an XML document coming from an outside vendor which does not contain any namespace attribute. They have provided me with a schema file that I point to when creating a partner link (using the file adapter) and it also does not specify any namespace information. When I attempt to create the file adapter, I get the message "The schema file selected (HRExportSchema.xsd) does not contain a target namespace. Please fix the file or specify another schema.".

I have tried providing the default and target namespace attributes with empty namespace values, but the wizard still does not accept it.

I have also tried providing a namespace value in order to make the wizard happy. However, this namespace does not match the namespace (empty) in the XML document coming from the vendor, so my transformation fails to function.

I do not have control over the format coming from the vendor, so I cannot require them to use a namespace. Has anyone else dealt with this issue? Am I just being dense? Any suggestions or best practices are welcome.

Thanks,

Dave
