# Upload XML Schemas

XML schemas are used by the Rules Palette to perform several functions. They determine the various categories as well as the rules that are placed into those categories. The XML schema also controls the dynamic editor used in the configuration of certain rules. Below you can see how the categories in the Global Rules Explorer are enabled and icons are present when schemas are loaded. Once a schema has been uploaded, the various categories become enabled and the appropriate icons appear for each of them.

Categories are Enabled and Icons are Present

After the initial Rules Palette installation and the environment creation set-up, the default schemas should be uploaded and applied to the system. If schemas are not present in the system then the categories in the Explorer window will be disabled and no icons will be displayed.

New schemas are uploaded by clicking the Upload Schemas button located in the Tool Bar. If schemas are not present in the system, the following pop-up window appears after the initial log-in when the Upload Schemas button is clicked:

Upload Schemas Progress Bar

This pop-up will only appear the first time you log into the newly set-up environment. Once the default schemas are uploaded they will remain in the database.

## Overwrite Existing Schema

The Upload Schemas button allows you to upload business rule XML schemas into the database directly through the Rules Palette interface. You can overwrite the default schema or other existing schemas in the database by clicking this button. The Question pop-up window will appear if the environment you are in already contains schemas and you select the Upload Schemas toolbar button.

The system will ask you whether or not you wish to overwrite the existing schema.

- Yes will overwrite the schema. You may wish to overwrite existing schemas if you have added new rules to the database, or if you are cleaning up existing schemas that may have invalid XML.

- No will cancel your request.

Note: Any time you upload new schemas you must log-out of the environment and log-in in order for the schemas to be correctly uploaded to the database. If you attempt to Upload Schemas when you are not logged into an environment then you will be prompted with a message instructing you to log into the environment.
