AddXmlNode

This activity adds a XML node at a specified XPATH in the XML source file.

.

Activity Parameters

The AddXmlNode activity parameters can be provided by manual inserted values or via IN arguments or variables:

Parameters:

• Attributes (text box editor type) (type: string): Enter the attributes and values pairs. Should be entered as [AttributeName = "Value"] without the square bracket, separated by a whitespace. If no attributes are required, leave this field blank. For Example: Needing to put 2 attributes, the expression should be : Attrib1 = "value1" Attrib2 = "value2" .
• Filename (text box editor type) (type: string): (Optional) Enter the file name.
• FilePath (text box editor type) (type: string): Enter the disk path of the xml file you wish to use as source for this activity. This takes precedence over the XmlString parameter.
• NodeName (text box editor type) (type: string): Enter the node name.
• Save Folder Path (text box editor type) (type: string): (Optional) Specifies a path on disk where the xml file should be saved.
• Value (text box editor type) (type: string): Enter the text value of the node.
• XmlString (text box editor type) (type: string): Enter the Input XML string.This parameter should be bound to a Resulting Xml String parameter from a XML activity.
• XPath (text box editor type) (type: string): Enter the XPath where you wish the node to be inserted. If the path doesn't exist, the inexistent parts will be created.For example: /root/node_name/node_name.

The Read Only Output variable are the possible output values that the activity will provide:

• Resultulting XML string (type: string): Outputs the resulting XML String.(This parameter can be used as Input for XmlString parameter for activities under XML category).
  
  

CreateXml

This activity creates a blank XML string with a specified root element and heading. Optionally can be saved on disk.

Activity Parameters

The CreateXML activity parameters can be provided by manual inserted values or via IN arguments or variables:

Parameters:

• Encoding (text box editor type) (type: string): Enter the type of used encoding in creating the XML file.
• Filename (text box editor type) (type: string): Enter the file name.

• Overwrite (combo-box editor type): Overwrites the file if it already exists. 
• Root (text box editor type) (type: string): Enter the root name.
• Version (text box editor type) (type: string): Enter the Version of xml standard.
  
  

The Read Only Output variable are the possible output values that the activity will provide:

• Resulting XML string (type: string): Outputs the resulting XML string. (This parameter can be used as Input for XmlString parameter for activities under XML category).

EditXmlNodeAttributes

This activity edits the node attributes given by a certain XPath.

Activity Parameters

The EditXmlNodeAttributes activity parameters can be provided by manual inserted values or via IN arguments or variables:

Parameters:

• Attributes (text box editor type) (type: string): Enter the attributes and values pairs. Should be entered as [AttributeName = "Value"] without the square bracket, separated by commas. If no attributes are required, leave this field blank. For Example: Needing to put 2 attributes, the expression should be : Attrib1 = "value1", Attrib2 = "value2". Attributes that are present in the node and not present in this expression will be left unchanged. New attributes will be added and existing ones changed. 
• Filename (text box editor type) (type: string): (Optional) Enter the file name.
• FilePath (text box editor type) (type: string): Enter the disk path of the xml file you wish to use as source for this activity. This takes precedence over the XmlString parameter.
• FolderPath (text box editor type) (type: string): (Optional) Specifies a path on disk where the xml file should be saved.Leave empty if you do not wish to save on disk.
• XmlString (text box editor type) (type: string): Enter the Input XML string.This parameter should be bound to a Resulting Xml String parameter from a XML activity.
• XPath (text box editor type) (type: string): Enter the XPath of the node you wish to modify. For example: /root/node_name/editing_node.

The Read Only Output variable are the possible output values that the activity will provide:

• Resulting XML string (type: string): Outputs the resulting XML String.(This parameter can be used as Input for XmlString parameter for activities under XML category).
