Starting in version 1.3 release, this product includes
the XML schema (.xsd) editor from the Web Tools
Platform (WTP) Project based on Eclipse technology. You have the option
to edit a schema within the product using this built-in editor. Or
you can choose to edit the schema using an external editor by exporting
a data source schema that is used in a template and modify it as necessary.
Then, add the revised data source schema back to the template by replacing
the previous version with the new version.
Before you begin
Important: Back up your template by
saving a copy of it before you work with your schema.
About this task
Changing the schema does not change the data that is used
in the generated report. Changing the schema affects only how
Rational® Publishing Engine uses
the data. You cannot edit with the
Schema discovery wizard,
export, or replace data source schemas that contain custom attributes.
Tip: When a data source schema has a root and a child node with
the same name, infinite recursion occurs. Infinite recursion is the
process of document generation that runs infinitely. Avoid issues
with infinite recursion by ensuring that all nodes have unique names.
