Procedure

  1. Open an orchestration.
  2. Select the Project tab and double-click an XML Schema in the XML Schemas folder to open it. A schema tab opens with a graphical representation of the XML Schema.
  3. Select the Variables tab.

  5. Select an orchestration tab and then select the Variables tab.
  6. Click the Variables pane of the Variables tab and paste fragment of the schema using one of the following options:
    • Right-click and from the menu select Paste.
    • From the toolbar menu, select Edit > Paste.
  7. Optional: Rename the variable by clicking in the Name field of the "Properties of" pane of the Variables tab.
    Attention: Do not create a variable in the following format: __variableName__. Variable names that start with two underscore characters (_) and ends with two underscore characters (_) are not supported. If an orchestration contains variable names using this format, the orchestration fails to validate.
