XML Output Configuration

The XML generation settings define characteristics of XML output documents.

The following table describes the XML generation settings in the

Schema Title

area:

Setting	Description
Schema location	Defines the schemaLocation for the root element of the main output document.
No namespace schema location	Defines the xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attribute of the root element of the main output document.

Configure XML Output Mode settings to determine how the Data Processor transformation handles missing elements or attributes in the input XML document. The following table describes the XML generation settings in the

XML Output Mode

area:

Setting	Description
As is	Do not add or remove empty elements. Default is enabled.
Full	All required and optional elements defined in the output schema are written to the output. Elements that have no content are written as empty elements.
Compact	Removes empty elements from the output. If Add for Elements is enabled, then the Data Processor transformation removes only the optional elements. If Add for Elements is disabled, the Data Processor transformation removes all empty elements. The XML output might not be valid.

The following table describes the XML generation settings in the

Default Values for Required Nodes

area:

Setting	Description
Add for elements	When the output schema defines a default value for a required element, the output includes the element with a default value. Default is enabled.
Add for attributes	When the output schema defines a default value for a required attribute, the output includes the attribute with its default value. Default is enabled.
Validate added values	Determines whether the Data Processor transformation validates empty elements that are added by the Full mode output. Default is disabled. If Validate added values is enabled and the schema does not allow empty elements, the XML output might not be valid.

The following table describes the XML generation settings in the
