The associated transformation file will be shown:Īs pointed out previously, XML Schema files are mainly useful for integration purposes in which an external application will invoke Bizagi API. Then, browse your folders to select your transformation file (by clicking on Select File). In: if it is going to transform information obtained from another system, which will be updated into Bizagi.Out: if it is going to transform information obtained from Bizagi's data model so that it can be sent to another application or system.The new Add Xsl window opens to provide the basic information, enter a Name and Description.įor Direction, select "In" or "Out" depending on how the transformation will be used: After a XSD has been generated, select it and click the Add button.Ģ. To associate an existing transformation file, the following steps are carried out:ġ.

To create that transformation file note that you may use third-party tools which are specialized in topics regarding manipulation of XMLs. Take into account that the transformation file itself needs to be previously created and saved into a local folder (creating a standard XML transformation, which in turn requires technical expertise). To associate a transformation, you need a generated XSD and therefore, we part from the steps instructed in the previous section Generating a XSD. The following option is mainly featured for backwards compatibility. Transformations (XSL/XSLT) can be associated with XSDs in order to grant you the possibility to interpret and re-format information obtained from Bizagi data model.Īssociating a transformation to an XSD is mostly used when invoking web services from within business rules in Bizagi (though recall that the recommended and preferred approach when invoking web services is by using the WS connector instead). This schema will represent the data model structure as expected by Bizagi when using its SOA layer.īy default, the name of the XSD will be the same as the entity, but it can be changed by clicking the Edit button (or double-clicking on the XSD). Notice that it is possible to select information in relating entities using XPath navigation, by expanding the nodes associated to the relations of the upper-level entity.ģ.

In the Entity XML Schemas window, click on the Generate button to open the Schema Data Selection window.ģ. Notice that for SOA layer use, you should select an Application entity rather than a Master entity.Ģ. In the Expert View, select Entities in the Bizagi menu and right-click the entity you wish to generate a schema for. Generating an XML schema of any entity or the complete process data model will serve you as a reference when using specific web methods of Bizagi API, when there's the need of sending business information into Bizagi from an external application.ġ. The data model XML schema will describe the structure handled and expected in processes while invoking Bizagi API from an external application.Īlternatively, you may use this definition as well (along with transformation files) from within business rules to either obtain information in the processes or update it back. This feature which generates an XML schema of your process data model, or creates transformation files is especially powerful for integration purposes. In every Bizagi project, it is possible to generate XML schema definitions (XSDs) for any entity.
