OS4X plugin os4xplugin manipulate xml

Purpose

Manipulate job XML nodes via regular expressions, based on the content of the same or other XML nodes of the job XML.

Requirements

• OS4X Enterprise license

Configuration

• Source XPath: the source XPath expression of a XML node which contains the source text information.
• Modification regular expression: the Perl regular expression (preg) rule which defines the result text, based on the source XML node text.
• Target XPath: the target XPath expression, where the target extrapolated information is stored.
• Create non-existing target XPath: if the last node of the target XPath is not-existant, the plugin will create it.

Examples

Scenario 1: change virtual filename based on real filename

Filename example:

Yanfeng_DESADV.dat

• Source XPath: /OS4X_job/job_information/job_file/real_filename
• Modification regular expression: .*_(.*)..*
• Target XPath: /OS4X_job/job_information/job_file/virtual_filename

Plugin output:

Source XPath: '/OS4X_job/job_information/job_file/real_filename'.
Modifying regular expression: '.*_(.*)\..*'.
Target XPath: '/OS4X_job/job_information/job_file/virtual_filename'.
