Step 3. Identify the xml source for the Transformation Map

LIC003 - Create a Transformation Map

1.  Insert an XML/Schema File component using either the Insert XML Schema/File toolbar icon or by selecting XML Schema/File from the Insert menu. Navigate to the Composer tutorials directory and select the TUTorder.dtd When asked if you wish to supply a sample xml file, reply Browse and select TUTorder.xml

     If you are not familiar with XML technology you can easily learn more from the Internet. For example http://www.w3schools.com/dtd/default.asp will inform you that:

     "The purpose of a DTD (Document Type Definition) is to define the legal building blocks of an XML document. It defines the document structure with a list of legal elements and attributes."

     TUTorder.xml is the model source file for your Transformation. The target is going to be database tables.
