Architecture verification, instance generation, and verification in biztalk

Biztalk2006 has an xsd architecture editor called "biztalk Editor". After biztalk2006 is installed, the XML architecture editor of vs2005 is automatically replaced by the default xsd architecture editor. So you will find that after you install biztalk, if there is an xsd architecture file in a general. net project, double-click Edit to open the editing interface instead of the original XML Schema editor.

In fact, biztalk2006 only changed the default xsd editor to its built-in biztalk editor. You can also use the original editor. Practice:

Right-click the xsd file in the solution browser, and select "open mode…" in the pop-up menu ...", The following window is displayed, asking you to select an editor to edit the xsd architecture.

The "biztalk editor" is the default editor. You can select the xml architecture editor to edit the xsd architecture. If you still think it is easy to use the xml schema editor, you can set the xml schema editor as the default value, and double-click the xsd file to open the xml schema editor. I personally think the biztalk editor is easier to use. It conforms to the thinking habits of ordinary people and is concise and intuitive.

In the biztalk project, there are several more practical functions for the xsd architecture file: Architecture verification, instance generation, and instance verification.

In the biztalk project, right-click the xsd file in the solution browser. The pop-up menu contains the following three items:

L verify the architecture

L verify the instance

L generate an instance

1.Select verification architecture

Biztalk verifies that this architecture complies with schema specifications and displays successful messages and error messages in the "output" window.

2.Select generate instance

Biztalk generates an xml instance based on this architecture and fills in some virtual data. The generated xml instance is saved to the path "C: \ Documents ents and Settings \ USERNAME \ Local Settings \ Temp \ _ SchemaData \ architecture name_output. xml" by default.

However, you can modify the storage path and file name of the generated xml instance. The procedure is as follows:

In the solution browser, right-click the xsd file and select "properties" from the pop-up menu. The following window is displayed:

"Output instance file name" specifies the output path and file name of the generated instance.

"Input instance file name" specifies the path and file name of the instance to be verified.

3.Verify instance

The path and file name of the instance to be verified are set in the xsd above. After setting, right-click the xsd file in the solution browser and select "verify instance" in the pop-up menu ", the success message and error message are displayed in the "output" window.
