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.

  • 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.

SettingDescription
Local File SchemeA scheme for assigning filenames to messages that are output by the connector. You can use macros in your filenames dynamically to include information such as identifiers and timestamps. For more information, see Macros.
Processing DelayThe amount of time (in seconds) by which the processing of files placed in the Transactions tab is delayed. This is a legacy setting. Best practice is to use a File connector to manage local file systems instead of this setting.
