Working with XML Targets Overview

Working with XML Targets Overview

You can create XML target definitions in the following ways:
  • Import the definition from an XML schema or file.
    You can create a target definition from an XML, DTD, or XML schema file. You can import XML file definitions from a URL or a local node. If you import an XML file with an associated DTD, the XML Wizard uses the DTD to generate the XML file.
  • Create an XML target definition based on an XML source definition.
    You can drag an existing XML source definition into the Target Designer. If you create an XML target definition, the Designer creates a target definition based on the hierarchy of the XML definition.
  • Create an XML target based on a relational file definition
    . You can import an XML target definition from a relational or flat file repository definition.
In addition to creating XML target definitions, you can complete the following tasks with XML targets in the Target Designer:
  • Edit target properties.
    Edit an XML target definition to add comments documenting changes to target XML, DTD, or XML schema files.
  • Synchronize target definitions
    . You can synchronize the target XML definition to a schema if you need to make changes. When you synchronize the definition, you update the XML definition instead of importing the schema if the schema changes.
