Valid External File Types for a Project

When building orchestrations, you can upload XML Schemas or other files into your project to complete configuration tasks. External files are used in connection activities and orchestrations that use a message that Studio cannot generate an XML schema for automatically. You must supply an XML schema or DTD if the message must be transformed or if you need to define a job key for the message.

The types of files that you can upload into a project and the file extensions they are required to include:

Table 1.
Type File Extension Description
XML DTD *.dtd

XML Document Type Definitions (DTDs) define XML message formats using a non-XML syntax. Studio automatically converts DTDs to XML Schemas when you load them into a project.

Web Services Definition Language *.wsdl

An XML document that defines the W3C Web Services Definition Language. Studio uses WSDLs to describe all messages in integration transactions.

XML Schema *.xsd

A definition of an XML message format using the W3C XML Schema language. Studio uses XML Schemas to describe all messages in integration transactions.

Note: Only global elements are shown as schema types in Studio. A global element is an immediate child of the schema element. If the schema file contains no global elements, then the schema will appear to be empty in Studio.
