Need some clarification

[Former Member]

Hi,

Could you pls clarify me the below two questions?

1. Is it posible to define all elements of a message namespace qualified (<b>elementFormDefault="qualified"</b> in the schema definition) or i should define schema external and use External Definitions to import it?

2. Why the graphical mapping is not visible when i reopen the mapping, every time i have to drag elements from the target structure into to Data-flow editior to view the mapping?

Hi,

If you want to see all the mappings at a time, you can go for 'text preview'. There is a icon with tooltip 'text preview' to take u to that.

Hi,

1. External Definitions are not mandatory for a schema.

All globally defined elements and attributes must always be qualified.

only local elements and attributes can be specified as unqualified.

2. yes. when you re-open the mapping, you can either double-click on the target nodes to view the mapping or use show-all option.

Hi Uma,I want to make all elements of a message namespace qualified not only the root element.

Hi,

Yes, you can define all elements of a message as qualified by specifying elementFormDefault="qualified" property in xsd:schema tag.

This implies all elements inside the schema are qualified.

Example:

1 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

2

3 <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

4 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema/po.xsd"

5 elementFormDefault="qualified"

6 targetNamespace="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema/po.xsd">

7

8 <xsd:element name="purchaseOrder" type="PurchaseOrderType"/>

9

10 <xsd:element name="comment" type="xsd:string"/>

11

12 <xsd:complexType name="PurchaseOrderType">

13 <xsd:sequence>

14 <xsd:element name="shipTo" type="xsd:string"/>

15 <xsd:element name="billTo" type="xsd:string"/>

16 <xsd:element ref="comment" minOccurs="0"/>

17 </xsd:sequence>

18 <xsd:attribute name="orderDate" type="xsd:date"/>

19 </xsd:complexType>

20 </xsd:schema>

~~~ The elements, purchaseOrder, comment, and complexType PurchaseOrderType, are defined in the "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema/po.xsd" namespace as a result of the definition for targetNamespace.

~~~ The elementFormDefault attribute (line 5) requires that all elements be qualified. Toward that end, elements must use either prefixes or the default namespace.

Hi.i know that all elements can be made namespace qualified using elementFormDefault="qualified.

However i would like to know whether it is posible to make all the elements of a message namespace qualified defined using Integration Repository. when we define a message in the Integration builder , only the root element is namespace qualified .I wanted to make all elements namespace qualified.

Hi Kalva,

<i>2. Why the graphical mapping is not visible when i reopen the mapping, every time i have to drag elements from the target structure into to Data-flow editior to view the mapping?</i>

-Every time you Re-open mapping it will not show mapping,you can see this with

" DEPENDENCIES" tab on Tool bar and click " SHOW ALL". It will show all mapping done already.

Thanks Ramesh. what you said is correct but i am talking about graphical mapping of elemnets in the Dataflow editior, which is not visible unless i drag or double click on the elements of the target structure.
