1. Should the source schema has the same structure as the destination schema
to be able to map these two shcema?

2. Any suggestion of book(s) in BizTalk Server 2004 that is more intended
for newbies? More on mapping and Orchestration.

I have made my prototype and it's very simple. Just one level node structure
excluding the root node and it is working fine.

Now, I am going to implement a more complex mapping I think. The XML output
is already specified so I made the schema for the output, and this is in 3
level node while the source schema is just in one level node.

Here's the specification of the XML output:
<abs>
<felle>
<settsammen> // the value of the fields under this node are set
as default in BizTalk
<a>...
<b>....
</settsammen>
<user>
<id>... // the value is set in BizTalk Default property
<code>... // is mapped with the source schema
</user>
</felle>
<elements>
<element> // the field values for this node are set from the
source schema, ie. mapped
<f1>....
<f2>....
....
</element>
</elements>
</abs>

Here's my source schema:
<abs>
<empabs>
<code>...
<f1>...
<f2>..
</empabs>
</abs>

I hope anyone could take time to see this. Thank you.

No, definately not! You can use any schema as input, and any schema as
output. Sometimes you will get very complicated maps and sometimes you
can not do what you want, and will have to do custom scripting, but
any schema will do!

There exists only one book, as far as I know. The one by Brian Loesgen
and Scott Woodgate. Search for it on amazon.

I am not sure if this is a question, or just a comment on the entire
posting?
