  • Reload
    • You can reload all of the namespaces that you deleted by right-clicking the NameSpaces property and clicking Reload.
On an output card, you can do the following processes:
  • Add
    • You can add a namespace by right-clicking the NameSpaces property and clicking Add.
    • The Namespace Dialog window opens.
    • You define custom namespaces by specifying the URI in this window.
  • Delete
    • You can delete a namespace by right-clicking the specific namespace that you want to delete, and clicking Delete.
  • Reload
    • You can reload the namespaces that you deleted by right-clicking the NameSpaces property and clicking Reload.

If there are namespaces that are defined on the output cards, when the map runs, those namespaces are written to the beginning of the XML file.

For more information about namespaces, see the topics about XML schema datatypes in the Type Designer documentation.
