Altova SchemaAgent 2008 is the visionary tool for analyzing and managing relationships among XML Schemas, XML instance documents, XSLT files,and WSDL files, as well as viewing files used in Altova MapForce data mapping projects – across a project, an intranet, or even an enterprise. It allows you to visualize and manage relationships easily via its graphical design view, and create new relationships using drag-and-drop functionality to automatically configure imports, includes, and/or redefines (IIRs).
SchemaAgent automatically finds relevant files in your search path and displays them in its explorer pane for easy navigation. Simply drag a file from the explorer onto the design pane, and SchemaAgent displays it as a graphical component with details about related files, namespaces, global components, and more. A right-click menu lets you add all referenced, referencing, related, and linked XML Schema Definition (XSD), XML instance , XSLT, and WSDL, and/or MapForce design (MFD) files as graphical components on the design pane.
Associations between files are indicated by color coded lines linking the graphical components. You can create or change import, include, and redefine (IIR) references by dragging-and-dropping connecting lines between components, and the corresponding code is automatically added to all impacted files. SchemaAgent can be run stand-alone or in client/server mode to share resources in a workgroup. In addition, you can access SchemaAgent’s functionality while working in the graphical XML Schema editor in XMLSpy.

Altova SchemaAgent 2007
Altova SchemaAgent 2007 is the compelling new paradigm for modeling and managing advanced schemas and their
components in enterprise workgroups. Visualize XML Schema relationships and construct complex schemas from distributed
schema elements via its graphical design view. Now in addition to XML Schema files, you can also see schemas used as
sources or targets in Altova MapForce data mappings.
One of the most compelling aspects of the XML Schema standard is the ability to construct complex schemas of multiple,
smaller schemas using xs:import, xs:include, and xs:redefine statements. This modular approach to schema design
promotes the development of schema components upon which organizations can standardize to increase consistency and
reduce redundant development efforts.
Despite these advantages, the process of aggregating schemas can become extremely complex and error-prone when the
number of schemas involved is large and when multiple users work with the schemas in a team environment. Management of
an organizations overall information architecture depends on the ability to easily view the XML Schemas in use
and their relationships and connections to other schemas.
Altova has created the unique SchemaAgent 2007 to help developers and information architects visualize, combine, and
control their schemas in an intuitive, standards-conformant manner. SchemaAgent 2007 is a graphical schema
administration tool that allows you to view a collection of schemas as a pool of resources. SchemaAgent also allows you
to view schemas used as data sources and/or targets in Altova MapForce data mapping designs.
SchemaAgent 2007 includes the SchemaAgent client and a SchemaAgent Server. The SchemaAgent Server is installed on
one computer in your workgroup and can be configured to connect to any standard file repository on your network or on
the Internet. Once the SchemaAgent Server is configured with your desired file paths, it builds an internal map of the
relationships between all schemas (.XSD) and MapForce mapping design files (.MFD) in the defined server paths. Any
number of SchemaAgent clients may connect to the SchemaAgent Server to have access to all these schemas.
Alternatively, for users who dont need to manage schemas in a team environment, the SchemaAgent client can stand
alone and function without the SchemaAgent Server installed. This way, a single user can simply specify the required
file paths and access XML Schemas and MapForce mappings directly in the SchemaAgent client.
Visualize your information architecture
The unique SchemaAgent client interface displays schema components and relationships in a graphical manner, allowing
you to immediately visualize the connections between your information assets. Each schema is displayed in an expandable
box with its components organized in a hierarchical tree. Relationships between schemas are indicated by color-coded
lines connecting associated components.
The SchemaAgent design interface allows you to
- Create, save, and print visual schema designs for organizing and managing schema collections intuitively
- View the structure of the source and/or target schemas of a MapForce data mapping design files and the
relationships of these schemas with other schemas
- View the detailed structure of schema components such as global elements, attributes, complex types, simple types,
foreign datatypes, and more
- View include/import/redefine (IIR) schema relationships indicated by color-coded lines and in greater detail in
the component itself
Manage and reuse information assets
In addition to viewing information about and associations between XML Schemas, SchemaAgent 2007 allows you to manage
the relationships between schemas in a visual manner. SchemaAgent displays schemas and components as graphical objects
and supports drag-and-drop functionality for updating or creating schema relationships, making it easy to manage and
reuse your schema assets. SchemaAgent only presents you the schema management functions that are applicable in a given
context, so its next to impossible to make an error.
The intelligent SchemaAgent management features allow you to
- Manage single or multiple schemas as schema components
- Automatically create, update, or delete IIR references between schemas with simple drag and drop functionality
- Propagate changes made in one schema (e.g., rename or move) to all other schemas that reference it in the
workspace
- Access all schemas and schema components in the SchemaAgent search path while editing schemas in the Schema View
