Bookshelf v7.8: Supported XSD Elements and Attributes

Not all the XSD schema elements and attributes are supported by the Siebel application. Table 7 and Table 8 list all the XSD elements and attributes with Siebel support levels for them. Following is the terminology used in these tables:

NOTE: The Siebel application does not perform any formatting or processing for any of the schema types. All the scalar types such as string, ID, or integer are treated as strings. When converted to an integration object and integration component field, DataType is set to DTYPE_TEXT.

Table 7. XSD Schema Elements and Siebel Support Level
Elements	Siebel Support level	Details
all	Not mapped. Treated as sequence.
annotation	Mapped.	Mapped as a parent's `comment` property. Children may be mapped only if parent of annotation is mapped to a component or field.
any	Mapped.	Mapped as a XML Hierarchy if `namespace` attribute cannot be resolved to a schema import definition. Otherwise, all global elements logically replace the `any` element that are then mapped to an integration object using rules for elements. Acts as a placeholder for any element. For more information about this element, see Integration Platform Technologies: Siebel eBusiness Application Integration Volume II.
anyAttribute	Mapped.	Same as the any element. Act as any placeholder for any attribute. For more information about this element, see Integration Platform Technologies: Siebel eBusiness Application Integration Volume II.
appinfo	Ignored.
attribute	Mapped.	Mapped as a field. Storing type information is useful when generating schema either after importing one or manually creating one. Also, useful for type specific formatting, such as xsd:datetime.
attributeGroup	Mapped.	Mapped as children attributes that are added as fields to the parent element's component.
choice	Not mapped. Treated as sequence.
complexContent	Mapped.	Mapped to add properties and children to the parent element's component. Attributes can affect parent (`complexType`) and children when `restriction` and `extension` are processed.
complexType	Mapped.	Mapped if global `complexType` is starting point for integration object that maps to root component. Also mapped when `XSDTypeName` and `XSDTypeNamespace` user properties are set on the root or elements component.
documentation	Mapped.	Mapped if `Comment` property is on a field, component, or object.
element	Mapped.	Mapped as a component or field. If element is of `simpleType` and `maxOccurs` is at most 1, then map to field, otherwise map to component (`complexType`).
enumeration	Ignored.
extension	Mapped.	Mapped if merging base type and children into the parent. Extension element affects the parent for `complexContent` and `simpleContent`.
field	Ignored.
group	Mapped.	Mapped if adding children to the parent element's component.
import	Mapped.	Preprocessed to receive the additional schema. Resolve a schemaLocation reference by URI or Local (File). Whatever is defined in imported schema will belong to a different namespace.
include	Supported.	Preprocessed to receive the additional schema. Resolve a schemaLocation reference by URL or Local (File). Whatever is defined in imported schema can belong to the same namespace.
key	Ignored.	Defines a unique key.
keyref	Ignored.	Defines fields for key. Keyref refers to a key that must exist in the document.
length	Mapped. Does not support lists.	Mapped for field external length and length. Fixed length of string-based content. Also might mean length of a list (number of items).
list	Ignored.
maxLength	Mapped.	Mapped for field external length and length.
minExclusive, maxExclusive	Ignored.
minInclusive, maxInclusive	Ignored.
minLength	Mapped.	Mapped for field external length and length.
notation	Ignored.
pattern	Ignored.
redefine	Ignored.
restriction	Mapped.	Mapped when adding children to the parent component or field. Affects its parent: `complexContent`, `simpleContent`, `simpleType`. Remove the elements and attributes that are not specified as the restriction ones. Validate that the elements and attributes used in the restriction are present in the base type.
schema	Mapped.	Namespace information used for object, component, and field.
selector	Ignored.
sequence	Not mapped.
simpleContent	Mapped.	Mapped when adding properties and children to the parent element's component.
simpleType	Mapped.	XSDTypeName and XSDTypeNamespace user properties on parent element's field or component, or attribute's field.
union	Ignored.
unique	Ignored.

Table 8. XSD Schema Attributes and Siebel Support Level
Attributes	Siebel Support level	Details
abstract	Ignored.
attributeFormDefault	Ignored.
base	Mapped.	Mapped if base type is used to create component or field.
block	Ignored.
blockDefault	Ignored.
default: attribute	Mapped.	Mapped to XML Literal value property only. Provides default value for an attribute when an attribute is missing.
default: element	Mapped.	Mapped to XML Literal value property only. Provides default value for an element when an element is empty.
elementFormDefault	Ignored.
final	Ignored.
finalDefault	Ignored.
fixed: attribute or element	Ignored.
fixed: simpleType	Ignored.
form	Ignored.
itemType	Ignored.
maxOccurs	Mapped.	Maps to the cardinality upper bound on parent element's component. Maps to One or More (unbounded). If you want to preserve the maximum number of occurrences, then new column is needed.
memberTypes	Ignored.
minOccurs	Mapped.	Maps to the cardinality lower bound on parent element's component. Maps to Zero or One. If you want to preserve the minimum number of occurrences, then new column is needed.
mixed	Ignored.
name	Mapped.	Maps to the `XML Tag` of parent element (component, field) or attribute field or to the `XSD Type Name` on object, component, or field. Name of the schema component.
namespace: any, anyAttribute	Mapped.	Namespace for the replacement elements and attributes.
namespace: import	Mapped.	Maps to `Namespace` and `XSDNamespace` user property on components and fields that are being imported. Namespace for the imported elements and attributes.
nillable	Ignored.
processContents	Ignored.
public	Ignored.
ref	Mapped.	Mapped if metadata starting from global element or attribute that is being referred to is copied to the referring element (component, field) or attribute field.
schemaLocation	Mapped.	Mapped if used for preprocessing of import or include
substitutionGroup	Ignored.
targetNamespace	Mapped.	Maps to `XSD Type Namespace` and `XML Tag Namespace` user properties on the integration object, imported component, or field. Schema targetNamespace to which all schema components definitions in a particular schema belong (children of schema element).
type	Mapped.	Maps to `XSDTypeName` user property on element's component or field, or attribute's field.
use	Ignored.
version	Ignored.
whitespace	Ignored.
xpath	Ignored.
