 # Use XML Schemas to Prepare Data Exchange Definitions
 
-To enable import/export of data in XML files through the data exchange framework in [!INCLUDE[d365fin](includes/d365fin_md.md)], you can use XML schemas to define which data elements you want to exchange with [!INCLUDE[d365fin](includes/d365fin_md.md)]. You perform this work on the **XML Schema Viewer** page by loading the XML schema file, selecting the relevant data elements, and then initializing either a data exchange definition or an XMLport.

- When you have defined which data elements to include based on the XML schema, you can use the **Generate XMLport** action to create the XMLport object.

- Alternatively, you can use the **Generate Data Exchange Definition** action to initialize a data exchange definition based on the selected data elements, which you then complete in the Data Exchange Framework. This creates a record on the **Posting Exchange Definition** page where you continue by defining which elements in the file map to which fields in [!INCLUDE[d365fin](includes/d365fin_md.md)]. For more information, see [Set Up Data Exchange Definitions](across-how-to-set-up-data-exchange-definitions.md).

-### To generate an XMLport that is based on an XML schema  
-
-1. Choose the ![Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature](media/ui-search/search_small.png "Tell me what you want to do") icon, enter  **XML Schemas**, and then choose the related link.  
-
-2. Select the relevant XML schema, and then choose the **Open XML Schema Viewer** action.  
-
-3. In the **New XMLport No.** field, specify the number that the new XMLport object will be given when it is generated.  
-
-4. Make sure the relevant nodes are selected. For more information, see the [To select or clear nodes in an XML schema](#to-select-or-clear-nodes-in-an-xml-schema) section.  
-
-5. Choose the **Generate XMLport** action, and then save the object as an .al file in an appropriate location.  
-
-6. Add the .al file to your extension project in Visual Studio Code and compile the app. For more information, see [XMLport Overview](/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-xmlport-overview) in the developer content.  
+> [!NOTE]
+> In 2019 release wave 1 and earlier versions, you could generate an XMLport that was based on the schema and then import that into your solution. This is no longer supported.
