The XSD connector provides support for XML schema definition validations.

Key Capabilities

  • XML Schema Definition (XSD) validation for ensuring XML document compliance
  • Automatic validation of incoming XML files against uploaded XSD schema
  • Schema-based error detection for data quality assurance in flows

Overview

After an XSD file has been uploaded to the connector, XML files arriving at the connector are automatically validated based on the XSD definition.

Connector Configuration

This section contains all of the configurable connector properties.

Settings Tab

Connector Settings

Settings related to the core operation of the connector. Use the XSD Schema File dropdown to select an existing file, or to upload a file or set of files. When you choose Upload File, the Upload Type dropdown has three options:
  • Upload Directory: Upload a folder containing multiple XSD files. When you choose the folder, its directory structure appears and you can choose the specific XSD file required for this connector.
  • URL: Retrieve an XSD schema directly from a remote URL.
  • Manual Upload: Upload a single file.

Message

Message settings determine how the connector searches for messages and manages them after processing.

Note: The settings below are deprecated and hidden by default. They appear only on connectors where they were previously enabled or configured to a non-default value. To retain copies of successfully processed files, right-click the connector in the flow, choose Show Success Path, and connect the success path to a File connector.

SettingDescription
Save to Sent Folder (Deprecated)Copies files processed by the connector to the Sent folder. Disabled by default. Files saved to the Sent folder are not covered by Encryption at Rest.
Sent Folder Scheme (Deprecated)Groups files in the Sent folder by the selected time interval. Only relevant when Save to Sent Folder is enabled.

Logging

Settings that govern the creation and storage of logs.

SettingDescription
Log LevelThe verbosity of logs generated by the connector. When you request support, set this to Debug.
Log Subfolder SchemeInstructs the connector to group files in the Logs folder according to the selected interval. The Weekly option (which is the default) instructs the connector to create a new subfolder each week and store all logs for the week in that folder. Leaving this setting blank tells the connector to save all logs directly in the Logs folder. For connectors that process many transactions, using subfolders helps keep logs organized and improves performance.
Log MessagesCheck this to have the log entry for a processed file include a copy of the file itself. If you disable this, you might not be able to download a copy of the file from the Transactions tab.

Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous settings are for specific use cases.

SettingDescription
Other SettingsEnables you to configure hidden connector settings in a semicolon-separated list (for example, setting1=value1;setting2=value2). Normal connector use cases and functionality should not require the use of these settings.

Automation Tab

Automation Settings

Settings related to the automatic processing of files by the connector.

Performance

Settings related to the allocation of resources to the connector.

SettingDescription
Max WorkersThe maximum number of worker threads consumed from the threadpool to process files on this connector. If set, this overrides the default setting on the Performance Settings portion of the Advanced Settings page.
Max FilesThe maximum number of files sent by each thread assigned to the connector. If set, this overrides the default setting on the Performance Settings portion of the Advanced Settings page.
