XML Templates and Web Services Description Language

Certain Oracle CRM On Demand features have elements that might be required, might require a default value, or might be optional. Understanding how these elements are categorized helps you understand how to read and comprehend the information in an XML template. This topic helps you to determine which elements are required for migrating configuration data.

To understand the elements, you must download the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) for each feature that you want, and scan through each WSDL. After downloading the WSDL to your computer, view the content with an editor (for example, Notepad). As you scan the WSDL, take note of the elements with defined minOccurs and maxOccurs values. For more information about downloading WSDLs, see Downloading Administrative Web Services WSDLs from Oracle CRM On Demand.

The minOccurs value and maxOccurs value are attributes of the <xsd:element> element in the XSD schema language. These attributes determine whether the element defined by <xsd:element> in a WSDL file is optional, and how many times the element can occur in an XML file. For example, the following entry in a WSDL file indicates that the <Name> element is required.

<xsd:element name="Name" maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="1" type="apData:string100" />

Table 7 describes the values for minOccurs and maxOccurs.

About Web Services APIs

For information about the APIs provided by Oracle CRM On Demand Web Services and other administration Web services, see Oracle Web Services On Demand Guide, which is available from the Oracle CRM On Demand documentation library on Oracle Technology Network (OTN). This guide is also available from the Oracle CRM On Demand application by clicking Admin, Web Services Administration, and then Download Documentation.

NOTE:  Oracle CRM On Demand Web Services provides additional functionality that is not available with the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client, such as the migration of currency picklists and industry picklists. Also, for some features, Oracle CRM On Demand Web Services allows you to use the <IncludeAll> argument to extract the preconfigured data as well as the customized data, and to use the <CurrentUserOnly> argument to extract the configuration data for the current user only.
