setXMLNode Step
Description:
This step sets the value of a selected xml node.
Inputs
- xmlVariable – variable that holds the xml
- xmlNodeToSet – name of the xml node to set
- valueToAssign – value to assign to the node
- loopVariable – loop variable that holds the collection index
Returns
- True – step executed successfully
- False – step failed to execute
Usage:
Example:
Let’s build and execute the “setXMLNodeDef” example.
- Create a new definition called “setXMLNodeDef”
- Select the definition and click the “design” button
- Drag the steps from the toolbox and connect as shown above
- Define a variable/global to store the result after execution
- Click the "executeSQL" step to configure its "Required" properties. Provide a name to the step. Select the connection string from the drop-down list. Provide the SQL statement. Select the result format from the drop-down list (XML, JSON). Click the Save button.
- Click the "executeSQL" step to configure its "Optional" properties. Provide the variable/global to store the value. Select Yes to get a single record as a result set. Provide the SQL command time value in seconds. Click the button to configure the SQL parameters.
- Click the "updateVariable" step to configure its "Required" properties. Provide a name to the step.
- Click the "updateVariable" step to configure its "Optional" properties. Provide the variable name and the value. You may click the button to configure multiple variables and values. Select No if the value does not have an expression. Click the Save button.
- Click the "setXMLNode" step to configure its "Settings" properties. Provide a name to the step. Provide the variable/global name that holds the collection index value. Provide the variable/global that holds the XML value. Provide the XML name to set the node value. Provide the node value. 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 on the process step to view its properties. The step should add/set a new value to the XML node.
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.
