XML Tools

The Informatica MDM Hub Resource Kit includes an XML schema (XSD file) for the IDD configuration file.

This is very useful when working with XML editors. It can guide you in editing the file and, most importantly, it is used by the editor to verify the correctness of the XML in an IDD configuration file. The IDD configuration file should pass this test before being imported into the IDD Configuration Manager.

While a simple text editor can be used to modify the IDD configuration, there are many XML editing tools that make working with XML much easier, including:

Editor	URL
XML Copy Editor	http://xml-copy-editor.sourceforge.net/
XML Spy	http://www.altova.com/products/xmlspy/xmlspy.html
oXygen	http://www.oxygenxml.com/

The IDD sample in the Resource Kit contains the following components that can help with manual configuration.

Resource Kit Item	Description
siperian-bdd-config-6.xsd	XML schema for the IDD configuration file. This file is found in the location \hub\resourcekit\sdk\bddXsdDoc\ siperian-bdd-config-6.xsd
HTML documentation for the XML schema	Javadoc-style documentation. Provides the same information found in the XML schema, but in a form that is easier to browse. Refer to this documentation for the most detailed information on the XML elements and attributes in the IDD configuration file.
Sample IDD configuration	To be used with the sample schema.
Sample IDD user exits	An example of how to build custom java code to be integrated with IDD.
