Properties for Custom XML Conversions
The Properties window for Custom XML conversions displays several types of information about the input file and about the XML that will be output by the custom XML conversion you create using the Custom XML Conversions editor.
Fields
Properties are organized in the following categories:
- Input File - read-only information gathered from the input file, and editable properties that affect XML output. These fields affect the file as a whole when it is converted to XML. See Input File Properties.
- XML Output URL - editable properties that affect XML output, specifically, high-level XML document properties such as the root element name, namespace, and XML Schema, if any. See XML Output URL Properties.
- Region Type (fixed-width, line-oriented, or no-output) - read only information gathered from the input file, and editable properties that affect XML output. These properties affect a contiguous portion of the file when it is converted to XML. See Region Type Properties.
- Row Element Name - editable properties that affect XML output, specifically, the name that will be used for each row element and the optional pattern that will be used to control which rows are converted to XML. See Row Element Name Properties.
- Field Element Name - read only information gathered from the input file, editable properties that affect XML output, and navigational properties. These properties affect only fields in a given region of the file when it is converted to XML. See Field Element Name Properties.
