Db2 XML schema repository tables
The Db2 for z/OS® XML schema repository (XSR) is a set of Db2 tables where you can store XML schemas.
Db2 creates the XSR tables during installation or migration. After you add XML schemas to the Db2 XSR, you can use them to validate XML documents before you store them in XML columns.
An XML schema consists of a set of XML schema documents. To add an XML schema to the Db2 XSR, you register XML schema documents to Db2. The XML schema documents must be in the Unicode encoding scheme.
