How could I generate schema using COVAST EDI Accelerator

covast will give schema files…u just need to import into Covast Accelerator….

Unfortunately, it isn’t quite as simple as the above poster implies, or as simple as using the EDI schemas in BizTalk 2006 R2….

You first need to download the relevant schemas from Covast.com and load them into the Covast EDI Studio which will generate the relevant Xml representation; next through the Add Generated Items -> Add Adapter Metadata option in Visual Studio import the Covast Xml representation as a schema into your project and use as if it were a ‘normal’ schema.

When you receive an EDI message through the Covast Adapter on a Receive Location, Covast will translate the EDI message into the Xml representation created earlier and drop into the MsgBox ; for sending, create an Xml message that conforms to the schema and send it over a Send Port that has the Covast EDI Adapter – Covast will take the Xml messsage and transform into EDI.

I would suggest thoroughly reviewing the Covast Help Documents and possibly subscribing to a Covast course (I took one back in 2004 and it was invaluable).
