To Import a Schema

You can import an XML schema that you exported, and use it to define a new schema for another data store. This is useful for creating multiple data stores based on the same schema.

To import an XML or XMI schema

1. Connect to the feature source into which you want to import the schema.
2. In Map Explorer, select the feature source in the connection tree (at the top of the pane) and click SchemaEdit Schema.
3. In the Schema Editor, select Schemas (the top-most node in the Schema tree) and click Import Schema on the Schema Editor toolbar.
4. In the Open dialog box, choose the file format for the file you are importing (XML or XMI). Navigate to the file you want and click Open.

   The Schema tree displays the imported schema.

5. Click Apply to make the changes permanent.
