Web Services - schemas

For simple data, workflow parameters will probably be adequate—you might not need to provide a schema. For complex data in a Receive or Reply function, you might require an XML schema. See Using Web Services in FileNet workflows for examples.

  1. If the Partner Links dialog box is not open, select Workflow Properties from the Process Designer toolbar, then select the Web Services >> XML Schema tabs.
  2. On the XML Schema tab, enter a name for the schema.
  3. Under Schema Definition, select one of the following to specify the schema definition.
  4. Click Check Well Formed XML to verify that the schema is well formed XML.

NOTE  You can use schema files with import, include (multiple schema file imports), and redefine. Reference to the external files must use a relative path to the file, such as ../../CCSchemas\MySchema1.xsd.

TIP To modify the schema retrieved from a file on the server, select the text and copy it to the clipboard, then click Specify Value and paste the text into the text box. Note that this does not change the originally referenced schema file located on the Process Engine server.
