Last published at: October 4th, 2024

Description:

This step generates 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 “Settings” properties. Provide a name to the step. Provide a name for the main XML node. Click on the button to provide XML node information. Provide a variable/global to store the result. 

 

  • Click on the button to provide the XML node information.

 

  • 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 process instance, and execute. Render the process instance. Click on the process step to view the properties. The step should generate XML using 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.
