Defining a New Transformation Scenario

Defining a transformation scenario is the first step in the process of transforming a document. The following types of scenarios are available:

• XML Transformation with XSLT - Specifies the transformation parameters and location of an XSLT stylesheet that is applied to the edited XML document. This scenario is useful when you develop an XML document and the XSLT document is in its final form.
• XML Transformation with XQuery - Specifies the transform parameters and location of an XQuery file that is applied to the edited XML document.
• DITA-OT Transformation - Specifies the parameters for an Ant transformation that executes a DITA-OT build script. Oxygen XML Developer plugin comes with a built-in version of Ant and a built-in version of DITA-OT but different versions can be set in the scenario.
• ANT Transformation - Allows you to configure the options and parameters of an Ant build script.
• XSLT Transformation - Specifies the transformation parameters and location of an XML document to which the edited XSLT stylesheet is applied. This scenario is useful when you develop an XSLT document and the XML document is in its final form.
• XProc Transformation - Specified the transformation parameters and location of an XProc script.
• XQuery Transformation -Specifies the transformation parameters and location of an XML source to which the edited XQuery file is applied. When the XML source is a native XML database, the XML source field of the scenario is empty because the XML data is read with XQuery-specific functions, such as document(). When the XML source is a local XML file, the URL of the file is specified in the XML input field of the scenario.
• SQL Transformation - Specifies a database connection for the database server that runs the SQL file associated with the scenario. The data processed by the SQL script is located in the database.
