The following table lists the file types that the EntireX Workbench can use as input. Some of the file types may have different content. The content determines which files you can generate. The actions in the context menu depend on the file type.
| File Type | Content | Generated Files |
|---|---|---|
| cvm | Client-side mapping file that completes the related IDL of the same name with server mapping information to successfully call the target RPC server customer program. Contains COBOL mapping (see Server Mapping Files for COBOL) or Natural mapping. | |
| idl | Software AG IDL for RPC, see Software AG IDL File. | C client, C server, Java client, Java server, Java tester, COBOL client, COBOL server, C# client, DCOM object, XMM file, PL/I client, PL/I server. |
| svm | Server-side mapping file that completes the related IDL of the same name with server mapping information to successfully call the target RPC server customer program. Contains COBOL mapping; see Server Mapping Files for COBOL. | |
| wsdl | Web service description file. | IDL file, XMM mapping file. |
| xml | XML document. | IDL file, XMM mapping file. |
| xmm | EntireX XMM file with element mapping. | |
| xmm | EntireX XMM file with attribute mapping. | |
| xmm | EntireX XMM file with user-defined mapping. | |
| xmm | EntireX XMM file with SOAP mapping. | WSDL file. |
| xsd | XML Schema file. | IDL file, XMM mapping file. |
