Sharing Data with the SOA Design-Time MDS Repository

The SOA-MDS Transfer wizard enables you to share WSDL, XSD, WADL, and XQuery files with the SOA design-time MDS Repository. These files can then be shared with other SOA composite applications.

The wizard first attempts to share files with any existing design-time MDS Repository defined in the current application's adf-config.xml file. If no MDS Repository is defined in the adf-config.xml file, then artifacts are shared using SOA_DesignTimeRepository.

Note:

  • You can only share XSD, WSDL, WADL, and XQuery files. In addition, only these file types can be transferred from a design-time MDS Repository to a runtime MDS Repository.

  • If you right-click an XSD file in the Applications window that was created with the Native Format Builder wizard, the Share using SOA Design-Time MDS Repository option is not available.
