Altova SchemaAgent 2024

In this section, you will create an include relationship between the following schemas from the SchemaAgentExamples\Tutorial\include_redefine folder:

 

event_registration.xsd: This schema is structured to contain information about a participant who registers for a sporting event. Because these events have fees, a type for containing credit card information is also defined in this schema.

dvd_order.xsd: This schema is structured to contain order details for mail order DVDs, and customer shipping details.

 

The goal is to have dvd_order.xsd include types from event_registration.xsd, specifically those that store customer and credit card data.

To display schemas in a Design window:

1.Select the menu option File | New, or click the New ic_new icon, or press Ctrl+N to open a new Design window.

2.In the Explorer window, click the Hierarchical tab.

3.Select event_registration.xsd and dvd_order.xsd from the "include_redefine" folder and drag them into the Design window.
