Instance Schema check box

Select to display the Instance Schema tab. Here, you can define the instance schema for XForms that are not associated with a WSDL.The absence of WSDL makes it difficult to map such XForms for input and output. You can use the Instance Schema tab to add schema to such methods, making them visible in the message map for mapping. While generating an HTML definition, Process Platform XForms interprets the schema for a business object and combines any validation defined for it. When you enter a value in the XForm, at run time, the value is validated and an alert displays if the validation fails. In the Schema field,

• Click to select an existing schema fragment from the Select Schema Fragment dialog box that appears. The Business Object field in the Dataset tab is automatically updated with the business object of the selected schema fragment.
• Click to open the <Schema name> - Schema Fragment window and edit the schema fragment.
• Click to delete the schema fragment.
  
  Note:
• For information about creating schema fragments, see Creating Schema Fragments.
