Understanding Testing Document Schema

PeopleSoft provides a Document Schema Tester utility that enables you to test and validate XML document schema generated by the Document Builder.

The Document Schema Tester utility enables you to validate XML documents against document schemas during development to determine if documents adhere to defined document schemas.

Prerequisites for Testing Document Schema

To use the Document Schema Tester utility and test document schema, the following items must exist:

• A document schema against which to test a document.

• An XML document to test against a schema.

Access the Document Schema Tester Utility

The Document Schema Tester utility is located in the Document Schema Tester component (IB_DOCSCHEMATESTER).

To access the Document Schema Tester page (IB_DOCSCHEMATESTER), select PeopleTools, Documents, Document Utilities, Document Schema Tester.

The following example shows the Document Schema Tester page:
