You can upload only specific types of files into a project. For
example, if you plan on mapping a string to XML data (valid to a particular
XML Schema), you must first upload the XML Schema file (ends in the .xsd extension)
into the project before mapping the nodes in the XML Schema.
See Valid External File Types for a Project for
a complete list of valid external file types.
There are three
ways to upload a file from the file system into a project:
- Upload files into a project by dragging a file into the Project tab
- Upload files into a project by right-clicking the appropriate
folder in the Project tab
- Upload files into a project by clicking Add Document in
the Project tab
The procedure below describes how to upload files into a project
by dragging a file into the
Project tab.
Procedure
- Select a file from a Windows folder in the local file system
and drag into the Project tab.
- If file is a supported file type and ends in the correct extension,
a node displays under the appropriate folder in the Project tab
with a default name. For example, if you dragged an XML Schema file
called PurchaseOrder.xsd from the file system
to the Project tab, a new node called PurchaseOrder shows
in the XML Schemas folder of the Project tab. For
a list of supported file types see Valid External File Types for a Project.
- If the uploaded file is an XML Schema or WSDL that includes
other XML Schemas, the Uploading Included XML Schemas dialog
box automatically displays. For more information, see Uploading
Included XML Schemas.
- Optional: Change the default name.
- Press Return.
