Invoking z/OS System Services parsing

IBM® Transformation Extender for z/OS® uses z/OS XML System Services parsing when you supply an input schema in OSR format.

To use z/OS XML System Services to parse an XML document, supply the input schema as a binary Optimized Schema Representation (OSR) file. Use the z/OS xsdorg command to generate the OSR file. Specify the path to the OSR file in the Schema > Type > Metadata property of the input card. See z/OS XML System Services User's Guide and Reference for a description of the xsdorg command and the list of data encodings that z/OS XML System Services supports.
  • To parse an OSR file without validation, set the input card DocumentVerification > Xerces property to Well formed.
  • To parse an OSR file with validation, set the input card DocumentVerification > Xerces property to Schema Validation.

When the Schema > Type > Metadata property points to an XSD file instead of an OSR file, IBM Transformation Extender uses its internal native-schema parsing to parse the file.
