Managing XML configuration files
The XML Package Manager provides users with the means to create and view package folders upon the server machine. It also provides users with file maintenance tools. With these tools, you can transfer files into their packages on the server. You can also maintain these files through the editing actions.
The XML Package Manager can be thought of as two Windows-type file explorers combined into one tool. Each file explorer presents a file-tree view of portions of a computer or computers to which the user is granted access. These views are shown side-by-side.
- On the left side of the GUI is a view of the file system on the client machine.
- On the right side of the GUI is a view of a portion of the file system on the server machine.
In some installations, the client and server machines are the same. For this, you can adjust the left view to show the same file area as the right side view.
Select items in the left side view for copy, cut, or paste to the right side. Do this by moving files from the client to the server. Select items to perform the reverse transfer, or to otherwise move and maintain files on the client or the server.
The DTD/Schema/DTD-containing-XML root files and local resource files must be maintained in a package structure on the server machine.
Root DTDs must be placed within the top-level package folder. Only DTDs that can be compiled are under the package folder.
This rigidity is required so that the Translation Configurator and translation engine can readily find required input files. The package structure underlies the fine-grain access control of security server (advanced). This package scheme also encourages users to keep potentially confusing groups of message structure definition files in a manageable organization.
The XML Package Manager is the tool by which users organize their DTD/Schema/DTD-containing-XMLs into the required package structure on the server. Additionally, the engine and other GUI components require a pre-compile of the DTD/Schema/DTD-containing-XML. The XML Package Manager provides this compilation.
