Import Mappings - XSD to Business Object Model

An XML schema document (XSD) can be imported into TIBCO Business Studio - BPM Edition to create a Business Object Model. This section describes the mappings between the original XSD constructs and the resulting Business Object Model constructs.

For more information, see Importing XML Schema Files.

In addition to creating UML elements in the Business Object Model, the original XSD information is also stored internally as stereotypes defined within a custom UML profile. This information is used if the Business Object Model originating from an XML schema import is re-exported as XSD so that the exported schema can be reconstructed to be logically equivalent to the original without loss of information. For more information, see Export Mappings.

Note: This information exists only until the user makes a change to the model of the newly created Business Object Model. At this point the user will be presented with the following dialog:

Clicking OK will remove the profile containing the original XSD information. Subsequent export of this Business Object Model to XML Schema will follow the mappings for a "user-defined" Business Object Model outlined in Export Mappings.
