Lesson 2: Adding a data source schema

Templates operate with data schemas and not with actual data sources. You can add new data source schema to the currently open template.
  1. You can add schemas by choosing one of three methods:
    • In Document Studio, click Data > Add Data Source Schema.
    • In the Outline view, click Data Source Schemas > Insert > Data Source Schema.
    • In the Schema view, click Add Data Source Schema icon.
  2. In the Add Data Source Wizard, click Next in the welcome page.
  3. Select a New Data Source Schema:
    1. In the Schema type field, select Tau.
    2. In the Schema file field, type or click Browse to select the path for the schema file. You must provide the full path to the schema. The schema can be on the local file system or on any URL accessible from the computer. You can use the schema provided in the Rational® Publishing Engine source directory: %RPE_HOME%\source\Tau\schema\ttdMetamodel.xsd
    3. In the Data Source ID field, type the name for the data source. For example, Tau 1.
