XSD for TDF Format

[Jim]

Hello:

Anyone know of an XSD Schema to map XML to TDF?

Our previous EDI Server software, GenTran, would take the
inbound EDI and convert it into a TDF file format. We are
moving to BizTalk 2004 and have the Convast EDI
Accelerator, but to integrate the new system we need this
schema to take the XML generated by BizTalk/Convast and
generate the TDF file.

TDF is the file format that Gentran converts an EDI file to. Inbound
files are converted to TDF, and outbound files need to be converted to
TDF format by an app (in our case, a Visual Basic application) before
Gentran can handle them. We are also switching to BizTalk 2004, and
will need to create TDF schemas if none are readily available. Or we
would have to convert our EDI translators to read straight XML instead
of the TDF format. Our preference is to create the XML->TDF maps so
our translators won't change. Thanks!

How did you produce TDF files with BizTalk 2002? Do you have TDF schemas for BizTalk 2002? Can you migrate them?
Is TDF an XML-based format or some kind of flat-file?

Thanks
Tatyana
