Saving a Schema Definition
After creating or modifying a schema definition, you can preserve your changes by saving the schema definition in a local JSON file or in the NoSQL data store that the schema is used for.
After saving your schema definition, you can configure your connector to use the schema definition when connecting to and working with the data store. For detailed information, see the Installation and Configuration Guide for your connector.
To save a schema definition:
- Choose one:
- To save the schema definition in a local JSON file, select File > Save, specify a name and location for the file, and then click Save.
Important:
If the data store already contains a schema definition, that schema definition is permanently overwritten when you select Publish Schema Map.
- Or, to save the schema definition in the data store that you are connected to, select Connection > Publish Schema Map.
Note:
This option is not available for DocumentDB.
If you are not connected to a data store, the Schema Editor prompts you to connect to a data store. For information about how to specify connection information, see Connecting to a Data Store.
