Running the WSDL Importer

Edit online

Use the WSDL Importer to automatically generate type trees or XML schemas.

Procedure

To run the WSDL Importer:

  1. Access the Importer Wizard in the Design Studio application.
  2. In the Import window, expand the Transformation Extender folder, select WSDL from the import source list, and click Next.
    The WSDL Importer window opens.
  3. Enter the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the WSDL document that you want to import or select a WSDL document, following the Importer Wizard instructions, and then click Next. When you are importing a WSDL document that references a URI on another machine, access to that other machine might be required. For example, if the WSDL document imports type definitions with a reference to an HTTP-based URL, network access to that referenced URL is required.
  4. If applicable, select the national language that describes execution-time data. The default value is Western.
  5. Choose to generate either a classic type tree or a native XML schema.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Select one or more operations that are defined for the specific class to be run in the map, and click Next.
  8. Enter or select the parent folder of the generated type tree or XML schema.
  9. Accept the default file name or enter a new name.
    • For classic type tree generation, the default file name is WSDLname.mtt.
    • For XML schema generation, the default file name is WSDLname.xsd.
  10. To generate the type tree, click Next.

    After the import operation runs, it displays the run results in the WSDL Importer window. If errors or warnings, or both, occur, they display in that same window. The errors and warnings are also saved to a log file in the product installation directory. The file name is wsdlimp.log. You can open this file and analyze it in a text editor after the import operation completes. The import operation deletes and regenerates this log file every time a new WSDL is imported. If errors occur, the import operation cannot generate the type tree or XML schema until you resolve the problem. If only warnings occur, the import operation can still generate the type tree or XML schema. However, to ensure that the reported warnings do not interfere with the requirements necessary for a valid instance document, inspect the generated type tree or XML schema.

  11. After the generation process is complete, click Finish.

    You can open the type tree to display the imported data format in the Properties view. Click the type tree in the Extender Navigator view or the Navigator view to display the time stamp of the import operation and other details in the Properties view.
