How to Migrate XDR Schemas to XSD Schemas
If you are migrating schemas from a previous version of BizTalk Server, you will need to convert your XML-Data Reduced (XDR) schemas into XML Schema definition (XSD) language schemas. This topic describes the necessary steps.
To generate an XSD schema from an XDR schema
In Solution Explorer, right-click the relevant BizTalk project, point to Add, and then click Add Generated Items.
In the Add Generated Item - <BizTalk ProjectName> dialog box, in the Templates section, click Generate Schemas, and then click Add.
In the Generate Schemas dialog box, in the Document type list, select XDR Schema.
Click Browse, locate the XDR schema file you want to migrate, and then click OK.
A new schema is generated from the specified XDR schema file, using the same name as that file with the .xsd extension, and then opened in BizTalk Editor.
Note
Avoid using C# reserved words and .NET Framework type and namespace names (such as System) as schema root node names or as file names.
