Importing an XML profile from an XML file

The steps for importing an XML profile vary depending on the source file or schema.

To import from an XML file:

1. On the Build page, click New.

2. From the Component types dialog, select XML Profile.

3. Enter a name for your profile.

4. On the tab named for your XML profile, click the Import button.

5. In the Build XML Profile From field, select XML File.

6. Click Browse, locate and select the file, and then click Open.

7. Click Next.

   note

   Uploaded or imported files pass through a virus scanner first. If the scan detects a virus, you receive an error message, and the scan rejects the file. If an error persists, contact Boomi Support.

   The profile is loaded and the root element name is displayed.

8. Click Finish and review the XML profile's elements.

9. Click Save to save and continue working or click Save and Close to save and close your project.

Next steps

You likely need to manually modify the XML profile by setting the minimum and maximum occurs, removing repeated elements and/or groups of elements, and setting data types and formatting.

note

If you need to re-import a profile to incorporate updates, the updated profile might affect the connections in any map where it is used. See Profile components for more information.
