The following XML schema types are not supported. For each an alternate type or construct is listed which should be used instead:


decimal: decimal type is not supported. Use double instead.

Example: The following schema defines a BookSpecification element which has a Value of type decimal. As defined it cannot be used with RBA.

<xs:element name="BookSpecification">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element name="Value">
          <xs:complexType>
            <xs:simpleContent>
              <xs:extension base="xs:decimal">
                <xs:attribute name="UOM" type="xs:string" use="required" />
              </xs:extension>
            </xs:simpleContent>
          </xs:complexType>
        </xs:element>
      </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>

The decimal type must be converted to a double:

<xs:element name="BookSpecification">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element name="Value">
          <xs:complexType>
            <xs:simpleContent>
              <xs:extension base="xs:double">
                <xs:attribute name="UOM" type="xs:string" use="required" />
              </xs:extension>
            </xs:simpleContent>
          </xs:complexType>
        </xs:element>
      </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>

 

choice: choice element is not supported. Use a single element from the choice instead.

Example: The following schema has a choice element in it. As defined it cannot be used with RBA.

<xs:element name="SpecComponent">
         <xs:complexType>
                <xs:sequence>
                      <xs:element ref="ProductIdentifier"/>
                      <xs:element ref="ProductDescription" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
                      <xs:choice minOccurs="0">
                             <xs:element ref="PressComponent"/>
                             <xs:element ref="NonPressComponent"/>
                      </xs:choice>
                      <xs:element ref="AdditionalText" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
                </xs:sequence>
         </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>

The choice must be removed and replaced with one of the elements before it can be used in RBA.

  <xs:element name="SpecComponent">
         <xs:complexType>
                <xs:sequence>
                      <xs:element ref="ProductIdentifier"/>
                      <xs:element ref="ProductDescription" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
                      <xs:element ref="PressComponent"/>
                      <xs:element ref="AdditionalText" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
                </xs:sequence>
         </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>


integer: integer type is not supported. Use int instead.

Example: The following schema defines a JobData element which has a Qty of type integer.  As defined it cannot be used with RBA.

<element name="JobData">
         <complexType>
                <all minOccurs="1">
                      <element name="JobName" type="string"/>
                      <element name="N-up" type="string"/>
                      <element name="Qty" type="integer"/>
                </all>
         </complexType>
  </element>

The integer type must be converted to int.

<element name="JobData">
         <complexType>
                <all minOccurs="1">
                      <element name="JobName" type="string"/>
                      <element name="N-up" type="string"/>
                      <element name="Qty" type="int"/>
                </all>
         </complexType>
  </element>
