Importing content models

With SkyVault Content Services you can define and use custom content models using either XML or the SkyVault Share Model Manager. You can import content models and use them in your data models.

1. Export the model from SkyVault Content Services.
2. Unzip the downloaded file.

   This creates a folder with two XML files.

   • the content model definition, with a file name similar to <content model name>.xml
   • the content modeller configuration file with a file name similar to CMM_<content model name>_module.xml. This is only required for re-importing a model into SkyVault Share so isn't relevant for the import operation.
3. In the App Designer select Data Models and create a new (or edit an existing) folder data model.
4. On the Entities list click Import.

   This prompts you to select the content model file.

5. Go to the location of the unarchived file and select the content model file, for example, healthCareModel.xml. Ignore the CMM<mode name> _module xml file.

   

6. Click Open and the corresponding entry and attributes are created.

   

   Unlike database schemas, importing a content model doesn't overwrite an existing entity if it's currently selected. If the name already exists then an error will be displayed. If it doesn't exist then a new entity is created with the content models using the type name (<type name=”.. >) as the entities name.

   You need to activate the content model in SkyVault Share to use it in deployed process applications.
