Work with XML Cross References allows you to import an existing XML file. An XML Cross Reference will be generated for each element in your XML. Once the Cross References have been generated you can then decide which of the entries you wish to print along with other details that will help when creating a Cobwebb Design to process the printed XML. This can be found from the Cobwebb Main Menu - PPD File Maintenance - Option 13. Requires Cobwebb Server version 6.2.82 or above and IBM i OS V6R1M0 or above.
Say you have incoming XML that you wish to process and turn into a document to Print, send out as an Email or File in your Document Archiving system. You can drop the XML into a folder which will be monitored using a Cobwebb Folder Monitor configured to use the Extract XML to Spool Folder Monitor program FMXML2SPL. This will print the XML, using the configured Cross References, to an Output Queue of your choice, which in turn will be monitored by a Spooled File Monitor using your Cobwebb Design.
