Generating an XML Schema

By default, PowerDesigner supports the generation of the following types of files for the XML schemas supported by the XSM:

Target Schema

Generated file

XML Schema Definition 1.0

XSD

Document Type Definition 1.0

DTD

XML-Data Reduced 1.0

XDR

You can preview the file to be generated by selecting the Preview tab of your XML model property sheet

Note:

Parameter entities are references to predefined values within a DTD file (See Parameter property in entity property sheet). During DTD generation, some object properties containing inadvertently parameter values will be generated with parameter references. If you are not satisfied with this default use of parameter entities, you should clear the Parameter property before generation.
