In this step, you will create three text files and save them in the Tutorial folder:

...

\\<SRV400>\LICComposer\lic\Tutorial

1. Use Notepad to create the Request CSV sample file. This file will contain a list of these employee numbers:
   
noformat
2. 
        EmployeeNumber
     100066
     100554
     101375
   
   

3. Save the file using the Save as type: All Files option so that you can specify the CSV file extension. Give it a name such as iiiTUTEMPNO.csv.

Note: 

4. Although the file is a Comma Separated File (CSV), you will not see commas because there is only one data column.

5. In a similar way, create the Response XML sample. The contents of  iiiTUTEMPDET.xml will be like this:

code

6. 
   
   <?xml

7. version="1.0"

8. encoding="UTF-8"?>

9. 
   <!DOCTYPE

10. Employees

11. SYSTEM

12. "iiiTUTEMPDET.dtd" 

13. >

14. 
    <Employees>

15. 
      <Employee>

16. 
    <EmployeeNumber>100066</EmployeeNumber>

17. 
    <LastName>Coleman</LastName>

18. 
    <FirstName>Briar</FirstName>

19. 
  </Employee>

20. 
  <Employee>

21. 
    <EmployeeNumber>100554</EmployeeNumber>

22. 
    <LastName>Dixon</LastName>

23. 
    <FirstName>Reed</FirstName>

24. 
  </Employee>

25. 
</Employees>

    
    

    Note
    title Note
    Change the iii in <!DOCTYPE Employees SYSTEM "iiiTUTEMPDET.dtd"  > to your initials.

26. Save the file as iiiTUTEMPDET.xml. Once again ensure you use the Save as type: All Files option to ensure Notepad saves the file with the .xml extension.

27. Create the response DTD file. The DTD file is used to describe the tags of XML files:


code

28. 
    
    <!ELEMENT

29. Employees

30. (Employee)>

31. 
<!ELEMENT

32. Employee

33. (EmployeeNumber,FirstName,LastName,Address1,Address2,Address3,PostCode,Department)>

34. 
<!ELEMENT

35. EmployeeNumber

36. (#PCDATA)>

37. 
<!ELEMENT

38. LastName

39. (#PCDATA)>

40. 
<!ELEMENT

41. FirstName

42. (#PCDATA)>

43. 
<!ELEMENT

44. Address1

45. (#PCDATA)>

46. 
<!ELEMENT

47. Address2

48. (#PCDATA)>

49. 
<!ELEMENT

50. Address3

51. (#PCDATA)>

52. 
<!ELEMENT

53. PostCode

54. (#PCDATA)>

55. 
<!ELEMENT

56. Department

57. (#PCDATA)>

    
    

58. Save the file as iiiTUTEMPDET.dtd  ensuring that the filename extension is preserved.

    Note
    title Note
    This file's name must be the same name as specified in the DOCTYPE in the xml file just created.
