Reports in XML document format

Application Performance Analyzer can produce an XML (Extensible Markup Language) document file containing the selected report information in the English language only. On z/OS®, this is written to a sequential file with fixed or variable length 255 byte records. It is encoded in EDBCIC (ebcdic-cp-us/Cp037) and may be viewed, edited, or processed on the mainframe. If the XML document file is required on another platform, it may need character set translation, including carriage return and line feed characters. After the document file has been transferred to the target platform, ensure that the encoding attribute on the XML declaration is changed to the appropriate value. For example, when downloading the file to a Windows platform, using IND$FILE file transfer, the ASCII and CRLF parameters must be specified. After the file transfer is complete, the encoding attribute on the XML declaration must be changed to UTF-8 in the Windows document file.

The XML file is a stand-alone document and has been declared as such. For the most part, the XML elements and tags can be related to their corresponding report fields by the element names and structure. For a complete description of the XML document, see XML document layout.
