Sample XSLT transformation and XSD schema
On this page, you can copy or download the XSLT and XSD files that are required to configure an Interact+ service workflow. The sample files below are the default XSLT and XSD files.
XSLT transformation
An XSLT transformation is required for the Interact+ connector service workflow to retrieve Interact+ data from a custom XML format.
Example
<!-- XSLT transformation to transform step element into entities -->
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:ms="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
>

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:if test="dialogue">

<xsl:value-of select="dialogue/reference" />
</xsl:attribute>
<Entities>
<xsl:apply-templates select="dialogue/step[@id = 'WZ_ODATA']/group[@id != 'RecordTemplate']"/>
</Entities>
<RecordTemplate>
<xsl:apply-templates select="dialogue/step[@id = 'WZ_ODATA']/group[@id = 'RecordTemplate']"/>
</RecordTemplate>
<AdditionalData/>

XSD schema
You can use an XSD schema to validate the retrieved custom XML format and improve the readability possible error messages.
Example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="dialogue">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="id" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="reference" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="step">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="group">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="element">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:simpleContent>
<xs:extension base="xs:string">
<xs:attribute name="id" type="xs:string" use="required" />
<xs:attribute name="label" type="xs:string" use="required" />
<xs:attribute name="type" type="xs:string" use="required" />
