Creating an XML Store Definition

This topic describes the procedure to create an XML Store Definition.

XML Store Definition helps you to package XML files and publish them to run time. XML Store Definition bundles all the XML files at the folder or project level and published them to the XML Store. You can view the published XML content through the XML Store Explorer.

1. Select a starting point and click to open the XML Store Definition editor.
2. Enter the following information.

   Field Name	Description	User Action
   Name	Name of the XML Store Definition file	Provide a name.
   Description	Description of the XML Store Definition	Provide a brief description.
   XML Store-content Folder	The folder where the XML files are available and need to be published to run time. These XML files will be used in the Application Package. Note: The documents in this folder will be validated and published as per the publish logic of XML Store Definition.	Next to the field, click to browse and select the source content project/folder.

3. Click The Save Document dialog box closes.
4. Close the XML Store Definition window.
   The XML Store Definition is created with the provided name and is stored at the selected location. When you publish it, the included XML files are made available in the XML Store. When you create an Application Package, the XML files are packaged along with and are available for use at run time when the package is installed.
   Note: When deploying an application that contains an XML Store Definition (or when publishing such an artifact), the documents in the corresponding XML Store content folder will be deployed in the XMLStore. The exact location at which the documents will be deployed is based on their qualified name. Only valid XML documents will be published to the XMLStore.
