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
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.
