Generate Schema
Opens the XML Schema Generation window. Using this window, you can generate DTDs, XML schemas and Biztalk schemas for every flavor of XML that Chameleon supports.
Test/Browse Messages
Opens the Message Browser. Using the Message Browser, you can verify that your mappings are correct. When you press the Parse button, the Message Browser will output the table data that was parsed from the message.
Opens the XML Translation window. This window allows you to interactively test out the available XML translation options in Chameleon.
Global Inbound Script
Opens the Global Inbound Script window. The Global Inbound Script allows you to add a Python script that is executed before a message is parsed.
Global Outbound Preprocess Script
Opens the Global Outbound Preprocess Script window. The Global Outbound Preprocess Script allows you to add a Python script that is executed before message generation to declare variables and functions.
Global Outbound Post Process Script
Opens the Global Outbound Post Process Script window. The Outbound Post Process Script function allows you to add a Python script that would be run after the message string has been generated.
Global Python Overview
Opens the Global Python Overview window. The Python Overview windows display a summary of all Python scripts used within the current configuration. This includes all inbound/outbound segment and table scripts, global inbound, global outbound pre/post process, segment validation rules, and any transformation scripts.
