An XML Output job creates a static XML output file. Configure an XML Output job if you plan to generate a static XML output file for loading into another database.
An XML Output job is necessary only if you plan to generate static XML output. Use an Indexer job with dynamic XML Web views to provide users with live retrieval of XML-formatted statements.
· Specify configuration settings for the three production tasks that run sequentially as part of the Indexer job: Scanner, Indexer, and XMLFormatter.
· Publish a DDF file for XML output (if you don’t already have an Indexer job defined for this application.)
· Publish the same DDF file for use by the Indexer task.
Review the task and field configuration settings to determine which options to set for your application.
You must publish the DDF file created for your XML Output job.
