generateXML Step
Description:
This step generates an XML format using text, variables, and globals.
Inputs
- mainNodeName-- Main node name
- xmlNodeData-- Xml node information
- varGlobalToStoreValue-- Variable/Global to store the xml
Returns
- True – step executed successfully
- False – step failed to execute
Usage:
Example:
Let’s build and execute the “generateXMLDef” example.
- Create a new definition called “generateXMLDef”
- Select the definition and click the “design” button
- Drag a “generateXML” step from the toolbox
- Connect the dots between the start and “generateXML” step
- Define a variable/global to store the result after execution
- Click the “generateXML” step to configure its “Required” properties. Provide a name for the step. Provide a name for the main XML node. Click the button to provide XML node information. Provide a variable/global to store the result. Click the Save button.
- Click on the button to provide the XML node information. A popup window is displayed for configuration. Click the Add Row button to insert an empty row. Provide the XML node name and value. Click the Save button. You may add multiple XML node and values using the Add Row button. Click the Save button.
- The “Logging” setting configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures the workflow progress and the percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.
- Save the process definition, create a new instance, and execute. Render the process instance.
- Click the process step to view the properties. The step should generate XML using the given data and store it as a result variable or global.
Definition Sample:
You may download the sample definition(s) from the link here and later import it (drag-drop) to your FlowWright Process Definition (XML file) or Form Definition (HTML file) page.
NOTE: Please verify and complete the process steps for any missing configurations, such as file path references and database connections after import. Then, save the definition to confirm the changes.
