Creating File References

In the Adeptia Suite, you need to create a file reference activity when your WSDL or XSD file, in your Web Services activity or XML Schema activity, is referring to an external WSDL or XSD file. This is possible in the following two scenarios:

  • When the WSDL file, which you use to create your Web Service activity, refers to an external WSDL or XSD file
  • When the XSD file, which you use to create your XML Schema activity, refers to an external XSD file

In the previous version of the Adeptia Suite, if you need to create these activities then you would have to manually copy the file on the server where the Adeptia Suite is installed. All you now have to do is, create a File References activity and include it into your schema or web service activity.
