Edit Data Backbone

Data Backbone determines what data should be passed in the Data Backbone XML required by some of the SOAP calls described in this guide. If you make no changes to the Data Backbone created in KCM 5.7.0 or earlier, the Data Backbone XML should look this way:

  • KCM 5.7.0 or earlier: 

     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Test></Test>

  • KCM 5.8.0 or later: 

     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Data_Backbone></Data_Backbone>

Check your Data Backbone in the project to see which XML you should use.

A change of name after the DATABACKBONE keyword does not render Data Backbone revisions incompatible. You can unlock, accept, and publish Data Backbone after its name is changed. Additionally, you have to recompile Master Templates that become outdated, as well as the Libraries. To recompile a Library in this case, you need to edit it and save the changes.

Retrieve the XSD for the Data Backbone XML with the call DesignerGetDatabackboneDefintion (see DesignerGetDataBackBoneDefinitionV1).
