About this task
Use the JSON Importer to automatically generate type trees.
The metadata for the type tree is in the form of JSON data
definitions.
The following procedure describes how to use the JSON Importer Wizard to
generate a type tree from JSON data definitions. You specify the data import
configuration properties in the Data Import
page, and the communication data structure in the Importer page.
Procedure
To run the JSON Importer:
-
Access the Importer Wizard in the Design Studio application.
-
In the Import window, expand the Transformation
Extender folder, select JSON from the
import source list, and click
Next.
-
Enter or select the name of the JSON file that you want to import.
-
Click Next.
-
Enter or select the parent folder for the type tree file that the import process
creates.
-
Enter the name of the type tree file that the import process creates.
-
Click Next. The import process runs.
If the type tree was generated successfully, the Type Tree Created
Successfully message displays.
-
Click Finish.
If the type tree was generated, you are given the option to open
the type tree in the Type Tree editor. The
Properties view for the generated type tree contains the
imported data format for the generated type tree. You can also click the type tree
in the Extender Navigator view or the Navigator
view to view the date and time that the import operation generated
the type tree, under the Info property in the
Properties view.
