Schema for configuring DataTransfer
When configuring the DataTransfer interface, the schema provides you with an indispensable template. This resource describes the standard with which incoming files are checked for structural conformity (“correct formulation”). It facilitates recognition and implementation of the data types and restrictions defined. You can check the files when sending them. The procedure is attached as an XSD (XML diagram definition). Swiss Post only publishes the currently valid XSD versions.
Sample files
The sample files, together with the XSD files, form the implementation templates. These are divided into up-to-date service groups.
