How to Insert a Record, Field Element, or Field Attribute Node
Record nodes (including the Root node), Field Attribute nodes, and Field Element nodes are unique in that they can be renamed so that their names represent the names of the actual, custom-named elements in a corresponding instance message. For example, if you name a Record node FullName, at the corresponding location in an instance message an XML element named FullName is expected. If that Record node named FullName has a child Field Attribute node named RequireFullMiddleName (with its Min Occurs and Max Occurs properties set to 1), the FullName element in a corresponding instance message will need to have an attribute named RequireFullMiddleName associated with it.
All Record nodes, when initially inserted, are represented in the XSD as with a complexType element, but not with a subsequent sequence, choice, or all element. For this reason, the Group Order Type, Group Max Occurs, and Group Min Occurs properties of the Record node are not available for modification.
As soon as you add a child Record or Field Element node to the Record node, a sequence element is added to the XSD representation within the complexType element to contain this first child node, and the Group Order Type property of the Record node shows a value of Sequence. In most circumstances, you can change the Group Order Type property from Sequence to Choice, and in more limited circumstances, from Sequence to All, thereby changing the element pair that contains the corresponding child nodes to either complexType/choice or complexType/all, respectively.
Field Attribute nodes cannot have the same node names while in the same scope.
Record and Field Element nodes can have the same node names while in the same scope only if the following conditions are met:
They have the same data type.
They are not within an All Group node.
To insert a new child Record node, Field Element node, or Field Attribute node within the Schema node or an existing Record node
Select the Schema node or an existing Record node.
On the BizTalk menu, point to Insert Schema Node, and then click Child Record, Child Field Element, or Child Field Attribute, as appropriate.
Note
A child node of the chosen type is added after either the last node in the schema tree (when inserting within the Schema node) or after the last existing child node of the selected Record node (when inserting within an existing Record node).
Type a name for the newly inserted Record, Field Element, or Field Attribute node, and then press ENTER.
To insert a sibling Record node, Field Attribute node, or Field Element node within an existing Record node
Select any child node of the Record node into which you want to insert the sibling Record, Field Attribute, or Field Element node.
On the BizTalk menu, point to Insert Schema Node, and then click Sibling Record, Sibling Field Attribute, or Sibling Field Element, as appropriate.
A sibling node of the chosen type is inserted at the end of the siblings of the selected node.
Type a name for the newly inserted Record, Field Attribute, or Field Element node, and then press ENTER.
