You can synchronize a midstream XML transformation using a different version of the schema or source file that you imported to create the transformation. For example, you might add new elements to the schema file you imported to create an XML Parser transformation. You can update the XML Parser transformation with the new schema instead of deleting the transformation and re-creating the transformation.
To synchronize a midstream XML transformation, use the Transformation Developer or Mapping Designer.
To synchronize a midstream XML transformation:
Open the Transformation Developer or Mapping Developer.
Drag the midstream XML transformation or the mapping you want to update into the workspace.
Right-click the top of the midstream XML transformation.
Select Synchronize XML transformation.
The Import XML Definition dialog box appears.
Navigate to the repository definition or file that you used to create the XML Parser or XML Generator transformation.
Click Open to update the transformation.
The Designer cannot synchronize a transformation with a file that you did not use to create the transformation.
You use the Source Analyzer and Target Designer to synchronize source and target XML definitions.
