Read XML activity
The Read XML activity takes an XML document and parses it to a defined schema. XML data is returned from this activity as the output parameter and the data can be used in subsequent activities.
About this task
Note: If
no function is defined in the Map Outputs for
the Read XML activity and there is a straight
mapping, in the From Activity to the To
Orchestration, the XML data is passed to the output activity
without validating against the schema that is specified in the XML
variable.
Note: If there are any functions or other changes
to the mappings in the Map Outputs for the Read
XML activity, and the content does not match the schema,
then an empty XML document is provided as the output of the Read
XML activity.
To add a Read XML activity to an orchestration:
Procedure
- Create or open an orchestration. A graphical representation of the orchestration is displayed.
- Select the Activities tab and expand the Transform folder.
- Drag the Read XML activity onto the orchestration. Place it to the right of an activity from which the orchestration will obtain the XML data (for example, an FTP Poll Directory).
- Select the Read XML activity and configure it as described in Read XML activity configuration.
