Load Schema
STEP-based data exchange requires various schemas to be loaded in EDMDB prior to actual data exchange process. Based on the nature or behavior, schemas are divided into following categories.
These schemas are loaded with the help of EDM EXPRESS Compiler. This tool has been developed to facilitate the customizers to load various schemas into EDMDB.
Following command is being used to load the schema into the EDMDB
