Creating an XML file

You can use any text editor, such as Notepad or TextPad, to create and modify XML files.

Note:

Oracle suggests that you save the sample XML files that are delivered as part of the Oracle InForm installation media under a new name and edit those files. The files are available at: \\<Installation_Directory>\InForm \SampleStudy\Admin.

To create an XML file for MedML component definitions for administrative data:

1. Create a first line that contains the xml version number. This string must be lower case:

   <?xml version="1.0"?>

2. Add an opening and closing tag for the MedMLData component and include the appropriate version string as the value of the xmlns attribute:

   <MEDMLDATA xmlns="PhaseForward-MedML-Inform4"> </MEDMLDATA>

3. Between the MedMLDATA start and end elements, enter definitions for the elements to install.
4. Install study data definitions in the following order:
   1. SequenceType
   2. Sequence
   3. Right
   4. User
   5. UserImage
   6. Site, including references to users who serve as site contacts, if applicable.
   7. SignCRF
