Defining Operation Parameter Properties for a Transformation Service

After you add an operation parameter, you must define its properties.

Each property represents a content model and must be set to either input or output. All operation parameters are complex types.

  1. In the Service editor, click the Service Interface tab.

    The Transformation Service Interface page of the editor displays.

  2. Click in the transform operation box.
    Note: A transformation service can have only one operation.
  3. Expand the Operation Parameters section.
  4. Select the operation parameter that you want to use.
  5. In the Properties section, edit the following information.
    Table 1. Operation parameter properties
    Field Action
    Name Rename the parameter, if necessary.
    Description Enter an internal description, such as an explanation of how this schema is used in this service.
    Style Select one of the following:
    • Input

      Select if this is a source content model.

    • Output

      Select if this is a destination content model.

    Data Type Click Complex Type and do the following:
    1. Select Browse for Schema.

      The Schema Browser opens displaying an icon beside each node to indicate whether the node is an element or an xsd type within the definition. An e icon indicates elements and a miniature 2-node tree-like icon indicates types.

    2. Select a content model and click OK.

      Be sure you select the root element.

      Note: If you browse to locate the definition of the complex parameter and no sources are shown, verify the correct source is in the project or a referenced project.
  6. Select File > Save from the main menu bar.
