Defining generation parameters

Check model
Defining generation targets
XSM User's Guide
You can define various parameters before generating an XSD, a DTD or an
XDR file.
You can check your model before generation if you select the Check model
check box. This check box is available for all XML languages. The
generation stops if an error is found. You must correct this error before
starting the generation again.
For more information on the Check model feature, see section Checking
an XML model in chapter Working with an XML model.
When you start the generation process, you can choose to:
Generate for a selected XML language
Use an extended model definition (.XEM) that extends the XML
language
To use an extended model definition that extends the XML language, you
must have an extended model definition attached to the model. You can
either create a new extended model definition or import an existing extended
model definition in the model.
For more information on how to create or import an extended model
definition, see sections Creating an extended model definition, or Importing
an extended model definition into a model, in chapter Extended Model
Definitions Reference Guide in the Advanced User Documentation.
If you use an extended model definition to extend the XML language, you
must use an extended model definition designed for this kind of generation.
To do this, you must verify that the value Complement Language Generation
is selected in the extended model definition editor.
When you attach an extended model definition to your model, the Targets
page in the Generation dialog box displays the target extended model
definition that can be selected for generation.
For more information on the generation targets, see section Generation
targets, in chapter Extended Model Definitions Reference Guide, in the
Advanced User Documentation.
