Update of XML syndication map when XSD is changed

Question

All,
So we recently upgraded to MDM 7.1 SP 06 and found a new feature which we were waiting for quiet some time. Thought i'll share with the community as well.
Update of XML syndication map when XSD is changed in Console
In earlier SP's of MDM, if we had to update an XML syndication map, we had to upload the new XSD in Console, go to syndicator and basically re-create the whole map. there was no way for syndicator to preserve the old mapping.
Well with this new feature, the old mapping is preserved, we only need to re-map the new fields.
The process is as below:
1. Upload the new XSD in Console.
2. Go to syndicator and open the syndication map which you want to update(File->Open).
3. Click File -> Update XML Schema. (this is the new option)
4. It will give a pop-up, select the new schema you have uploaded in console and hit OK.
5. You will get a prompt saying that syndication map is being changed, hit OK.
6. Now you will see the new XSD in syndicator, the older fields are still mapped, you only need to map the new fields.
It a nice feature which will definitely save lot of time. Thanks SAP
Regards
Aamir
