6.3 Using the Schema Map Generation Utility

The driver comes packaged with various schema maps of the HRMD_A IDoc file. These maps are generated using a Win32 executable schema map generation utility program called metamap.exe.

The schema map generation utility is installed in the SAPUTILS folder in the remote loader or the Novell eDirectory™ directory. It contains the following files:

This program generates a schema file using the SAP RFCSDK and then parses the default schema file into a schema map. The schema map file is named after the IDoc type specified and contains a .meta filename extension (for example, HRMD_A03.meta). This program is available in Win32 form only. Only IDocs defined by SAP can be mapped with this utility. Custom IDocs can only be mapped manually using the base .meta file.
