Request clarification before answering.
Hi Srihari,
Flat files and XML files are the two possibe formats for syndicating the file.
While flat files are simple text files with a simple structure, XML files may or may not be simple.
If the repository design is highly complex then it is better to syndicate ithe file in XML format provided the receipient system recognizes the format.
But there can be cases like when the destination system is Bi 3.5 which may only understand flat files and hence the only possible syndication format is flat.
For syndicating in XML files please refer to the below link.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Minaz
