Integration XML and Schemas
To view XML, select the Generate Schema/View XML action from the Select
Action menu in the following applications:
Enterprise Services
Invocation Channels
Object Structures
Publish Channels
You also can view XML on the Web Service Library tab in the Web Services
Library application.
The following circumstances dictate whether the system generates XML schemas:
Publish channels publish an object structure
Invocation channels facilitate the invocation of an external service
Enterprise services process an object structure as input or output
Object structure services process an object structure as input or output
Standard services process an object, MboSet, MboList or specific individual
typed parameters as input or output
The input and output types for all services, except standard services, are reusable,
as they are based on the object structure for the service.
The generated schemas identify the key fields within a service or channel from
the object structure definition and data dictionary definitions for the
corresponding object. XML schema annotation identifies these fields.
For example, the ITEMNUM is a key field in the MXITEM object structure
schema. It is indicated as follows:
<xsd:element name="ITEMNUM" minOccurs="0" type="MXString">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:documentation>ITEMNUM is a key field</xsd:documentation>
</xsd:annotation>
</xsd:element>
You can use the schema to determine the fields that are required to process an
inbound XML message.
