Data-to-XML Action
The Data-to-XML action (see Figure 10.4) outputs the contents of the dataset in memory
to an XML file. The resulting XML File will contain the exact same schema as the source
dataset.
Figure 10.4 – Data-to-XML Action
The Data-to-XML action has the following property:
˽ File Operation (Choice) – The File Operation property allows you to select from the
following options when creating an XML file:
• Append – The new data will be added to the end of the existing XML file without
overwriting it; a new XML file will be created if one does not already exist.
Note
Using the Append setting requires that the data used to create the XML file utilizes
the same schema as the current data. If the data sources are different, this operation
will show an error.
• Overwrite – The new XML file will overwrite any previous XML file with the given
filename on the system; a new XML file will be created if one does not already
exist.
• Sequential – The new XML file will add a timestamp string to the end of the given
filename, allowing new files to exist along-side old files. Each file will have its cre-
ation time and date marked in the filename for easy reference.
Data-to-Text Action
The Data-to-Text action (see Figure 10.5) outputs the contents of the dataset to a text file
with a given delimiter string.
