XML Schemas

In the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System environment, plans, components, and other parts of the solution are defined through XML. You can use several XML schemas to define your plug-in solution. The following schemas are provided in the docs/xml directory of the product media:

• plugin.xsd – Plug-in schema used to describe the parts of the plug-in through the plug-in descriptor file

• pluginUI.xsd – Plug-in user interface schema used to define an interface to the plug-in within the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System browser interface

• component.xsd – Component schema used to define components and component types

• plan.xsd – Plan schema used to define execution plans

• planCompShared.xsd – Schema that contains elements that are common to plans and components

This document includes examples that illustrate the XML schemas. For complete reference information about the elements and attributes used in the XML schemas, see N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 XML Schema Reference Guide.
