Files types for the source and target entities in request or response mapping session files

This topic describes in more detail which types of files can be used for selecting a source or target entity (an XML schema definition or a high-level-language data structure) for a request or response mapping session file.
A mapping session file, whether it is a request mapping session file or a response mapping session file, always describes a transfer of data between a high-level-language data structure and an XML schema definition. The XML schema definition can be derived from: (a) an XML schema definition in an XSD file; (b) an XML schema definition in a WSDL file; or (c) an element in an XML instance document (XML file).

The high-level-language data structure must be located in a COBOL file (extension .cbl, .cob, .cpy, or .ccp).

The type of file from which the XML schema definition can be taken or derived depends on the host runtime environment for which the service-interface-output files are being generated:

See Table 1.
Table 1. Summary of File Types for the Source and Target Entities when Mapping (Request or Response)
