Unable to import Schema in Console

Question

Hey Guys
I m trying to create repository in Console via XSD.I have copied the XSD from PI system and stored on my local desktop(MDM server as well as console are on my dekstop itself).
Now when i try to import this in Console via MDMServer->Create repository from Schema i get an error saying that "There was an internal problem preventing the import"
Any idea what i need to do?
The XSD i m trying to import is as under
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified">
- <xs:element name="Equipos">
- <xs:complexType>
- <xs:sequence>
  <xs:element ref="equipo" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
  </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>
- <xs:element name="equipo">
- <xs:complexType>
  <xs:attribute name="codigo_equipo" use="required" type="xs:integer" />
  <xs:attribute name="marca" use="required" type="xs:NCName" />
  <xs:attribute name="memoria" use="required" type="xs:NMTOKEN" />
  <xs:attribute name="responsable" use="required" type="xs:NCName" />
  <xs:attribute name="velocidad" use="required" type="xs:NMTOKEN" />
  </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>
  </xs:schema>
Thanx

Hi Saif,
If you want to create a  Repository with 100 fields or more in MDM,the you will have to model this data in MDM rep and create the fields
The data modelling in MDM is a big concept in MDM and it is not as simple as importing a schema and creating one.
You need to decide the fields and its types and also many other detail property of every field when designing it in MDM.
Once you have created one such rep,then you use its schema to generate another rep or compare the changes between two repositories using the Export/Import option .
The duplicate Feature just will create a duplicate of the rep it will not allow you to compare schemas of two MDM rep as the Export/Import feature does.
Bascially both are used for differnt purposes under differnt situations.
But one time creation of MDM rep manually is essential before resuing its schema.
Please update your thread if your query is resolved.
Hope It Helped
