Altova SchemaAgent 2009

Altova SchemaAgent 2009 is a unique tool for viewing and managing XML Schema components and relationships in an intuitive manner.

Altova SchemaAgent 2009 is the visionary tool for analyzing and managing XML Schemas, XML instance documents, XSLT files, and WSDL file relationships, as well as viewing files used in Altova MapForce data mapping projects. SchemaAgent automatically finds relevant files in your search path and displays them in its explorer pane for easy navigation. The graphical design pane displays the files as a pool of resources, allowing you to construct complex documents from elements of existing files distributed about your network. This promotes the design of componentized files on which your group can standardize and facilitates reuse of files to reduce development times.

Simply drag a file from the explorer onto the design pane, and a right-click menu lets you view all referenced, referencing, related, and linked XML Schema, XML instance, XSLT, WSDL and/or MapForce files as graphical components. Associations between files are indicated by color coded lines linking the graphical components. You can create or change import, include, and redefine (IIR) references by dragging-and-dropping connecting lines between components, and changes are propagated to all related files. XML Schemas are displayed in the design pane as graphical components with details about IIR relationships and a list of all global elements, attributes, types, etc.

Components representing XML instances include a list of associated XML Schemas, XSLT files, and included namespaces. XSLT components display import and include relationships to other XSLT files and associated XML Schemas. WSDL components provide a list of imported WSDL files, imported schemas, inline schemas and definitions (port types, bindings, etc.) present in the WSDL. MapForce components list any XML Schema, XML instance, and WSDL files used as a data mapping source or target. SchemaAgent can be run stand-alone or in client/server mode to share resources in a workgroup. Control your XML assets with ease. Download Altova SchemaAgent 2009 today.

SchemaAgent 2009 uses graphical components and color-coded lines to present you with a visual representation of your XML information architecture. This allows you to quickly ascertain the relationships that exist between associated schemas, as well as the various components and data types that exist within each schema.

The SchemaAgent client interface consists of an explorer pane and a design pane. The explorer pane lists all the XML Schemas available in your selected server paths. It also lists Altova MapForce® 2009 data mapping design (.MFD) files, allowing you to view XML Schemas used in MapForce data mapping projects. More information on this feature can be found on the Viewing MapForce Designs page.

To create a view of the relationships that exist between schemas, you can simply drag folders, individual schemas, or MFD files from the explorer pane onto the design pane. Relationships that exist between the schemas are indicated with colored lines: import references are indicated in blue, includes are green, and redefines are purple. In addition, foreign datatypes or references are displayed in the same color as the connecting line that indicates the import, include, or redefine relationship.
