Creating an XML Schema with a sample XSD or DTD instructs Clarify how to format data
it reads from or writes to an XML file. Please note that this Schema is not supported in the
latest transformation engine (Version 2).
You must have an existing XSD or DTD file to use the
Create from sample
option.
Unlike other Schemas, where the sample must reside within Clarify, the XML
Schema expects you to browse outside Clarify for the XSD.
-
Select File | New | XML Schema from the main menu.
Note: If you select the Package in which the XML Schema should reside before
creating it, some parameters are automatically populated in the Create
New XML Schema window.
-
The Create New XML Schema window appears. Select the Create from an
XSD or DTD radio button. Click Next.
-
In the Import XML Schema or DTD panel, click the Browse for file
button. Select and open the XSD or DTD. Click Next.
-
The Select Root Element panel lists all possible root elements in the
XSD. Each XML document has exactly one single root element, which encloses all
the other elements and is therefore the sole parent element to all the other
elements. Select the root element and click Next.
-
Provide the Source folder, Package, and Name for the XML
Schema.
-
Click Finish. The XML Schema object's editor appears.
Next: Make any changes to your XML Schema in its editor. If you need help customizing it,
see Customizing XML Schemas.To use the Schema, select it
when creating a Ruleset.
