Publishing XML Documents

XML documents are a good place to store constant static data that needs to be reused between different services within a system. To ensure that references to schemas related to this document get generated automatically check the source document and make sure that the xmlns attributes are defined and that their prefixes are used consistently.

To Publish an XML Resource

  1. If you have not done so, Log in to your user profile.

  2. Click the Catalog tab in the top left of the console.

  3. Click the XML documents node. This will load the XML documents view in the central panel.

  4. Click the Publish a new XML resource link. This will load the Create a new XML Resource control.

  5. In the Location edit box enter a URL from which the XML document can be retrieved. You might also want to add a Description to help users understand how the document is intended to be used.

  6. Click the Next button.

  7. If the document uses namespaces a check will be made to see if they need to be disambiguated. If there are no ambiguours namespaces, click the Finish button. A message will load indicating that the resource has been published. To view the record details click the link made from the resource name.
