Validating XML Targets

You can create customized XML views that describe how to extract data to an XML file. However, not all view structures or relationships between views are valid in an XML definition. Some view structures might be valid for an XML source, but not for an XML target. The Designer prevents you from creating ambiguous definitions.

PowerCenter validates target XML views when you perform the following tasks:

The Designer does limited validation when you save or fetch an XML target from the repository.

The XML Editor validates each step when you edit XML in the XML workspace.

You can choose to validate a target definition that you are editing in the XML Editor.

The Designer validates XML target connections when the Designer validates mappings.

The Designer uses rules to validate hierarchy relationships, type relationships, and inheritance relationships.

The Integration Service does not validate the target XML instance against a schema in a session. You can set the Validate Target session property to validate simple types in the data.
