Supported XSD Elements and Attributes

Not all XSD schema elements and attributes are supported by Siebel CRM. The following tables list all the XSD elements and attributes with Siebel CRM support levels for them. The following terminology is used in these tables:

• Ignored. This level of support means that processing will continue, and an error is not generated. However, the information given for the specified element or attribute is ignored.

• Mapped. This level of support means that the information specified in a given element or attribute is used in the integration object representation.

• Not mapped. This level of support means that the given element or attribute information is not used. However, children of the element will be processed.

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.

XSD Schema Elements

The following table lists XSD schema elements and the level of support for them in Siebel CRM.

Element	Siebel CRM Support Level	Details
all	Not mapped. Treated as sequence.	Not applicable
annotation	Mapped	Mapped as a parent's comment property. Children can 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 Enterprise Application Integration.
anyAttribute	Mapped	Same as the any element. Act as a placeholder for any attribute. For more information about this element, see Integration Platform Technologies: Siebel Enterprise Application Integration.
appinfo	Ignored	Not applicable
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.	Not applicable
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	Not applicable
extension	Mapped	Mapped if merging base type and children into the parent. Extension element affects the parent for complexContent and simpleContent.
field	Ignored	Not applicable
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	Mapped	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	Not applicable
maxLength	Mapped	Mapped for field length.
minExclusive, maxExclusive	Ignored	Not applicable
minInclusive, maxInclusive	Ignored	Not applicable
minLength	Not mapped	You can use minlength = 0 to indicate that a field can have zero characters, that is, it is optional. You must manually edit the XSD to specify the minLength value.
notation	Ignored	Not applicable
pattern	Ignored	Not applicable
redefine	Ignored	Not applicable
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	Not applicable
sequence	Not mapped	Not applicable
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	Not applicable
unique	Ignored	Not applicable

XSD Schema Attributes

The following table lists XSD schema attributes and the level of support for them in Siebel CRM.

Attribute	Siebel CRM Support Level	Details
abstract	Ignored	Not applicable
attributeFormDefault	Ignored	Not applicable
base	Mapped	Mapped if base type is used to create component or field.
block	Ignored	Not applicable
blockDefault	Ignored	Not applicable
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	Not applicable
final	Ignored	Not applicable
finalDefault	Ignored	Not applicable
fixed: attribute or element	Ignored	Not applicable
fixed: simpleType	Ignored	Not applicable
form	Ignored	Not applicable
itemType	Ignored	Not applicable
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	Not applicable
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	Not applicable
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	Not applicable
processContents	Ignored	Not applicable
public	Ignored	Not applicable
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	Not applicable
targetNamespace	Mapped	Maps toXSD Type Namespace andXML 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	Not applicable
version	Ignored	Not applicable
