Original status: 3-Accepted; Suggested Status: NEW Original submitter: nvrijn Description: This is one of 3 RFEs dealing with functionality required by "schema librarians". Treat Global Type Defintion Hierarchy inclusion like subroutine library linking One specific requested functionality was the ability to take a small message schema which had an include to the top level of a nested hierarchy of global type definitions and AUTOMATICALLY GENERATE a flat schema, with no includes, containing just the actual referenced definitions. Similar to a link operation which extracts only the subroutines actually invoked by the program, for the runtime image. The advantages are much the same in both cases. The anticipated savings in run time processing (even if not verifying), coupled with the ability to only update the version of those schemas that actually changed (rather than every schema referencing the global types hierarchy if a single change was made there) are significant functionality enhancers for anyone managing large quanities of schemas (i.e. the schema librarian). That's also what was meant by "version control" functionality. Essentially provide a make utility for included schema hierarchies.
As mentioned in the Description, this is one of 3 enhancements dealing with functionality required by "schema librarians." The other two enhancements are issue 78676 and issue 78677.
