Importing schema extension files

  1. Select Data Catalog > Schema Extensions and click the Schema Files tab.
    This information is displayed:
    Used
    Flag indicating whether the schema file is already mapped to a User Area.
    File Name
    The name of the schema file. File names are unique within a tenant.
    Last Updated by
    The UPN identifier of the user who performed the last upload for this noun.
    Last Updated on
    The date and time this noun was uploaded.
    To refresh the list of custom nouns, click Refresh.
  2. To upload a new schema file, click Import.
    Note: The schema file must be UTF-8 encoded.
  3. Browse to the schema definition file (XSD) on the local drive and select the file to import. Click OK to upload this file to the Data Catalog or click Cancel to abort the import operation.

    A message box is displayed that shows the result of the import. If there are validation errors, you must correct the definitions and try to import again. If all the validation rules passed, the schema files are imported and added to the list. The list of schema files is automatically refreshed after an import.

    If a schema file name already exists, you are prompted to confirm that the uploaded file overwrites the previous definition. The file name comparison is case-insensitive.

    Note: If you update a schema file that is in use, the mappings for the standard nouns using this schema do not need to be updated. However, if there are active monitors, alarm templates, activation policies, or object flows that use the elements from this schema extension, these must be re-activated. Ensure to inform all tenant users when a schema is updated so that they can re-activate their configurations.
