Create and Configure a File Output

When working with Output Files, there are two steps to perform in the Rules Palette. First, create a new file in Output section of File through the Rules Palette Admin Explorer tab. Then, check-out the new file and configure the XSLT section.

Steps to Create a New File

  1. Click the Admin Explorer tab.

  2. Double-click the Administration folder.

  3. Double-click the Files folder.

  4. Right-click the Output section.

  5. Select New Output File.

  6. Enter the name for new Output File, that is already mentioned in the OutputXSLT attribute, in XMLData of the input file.

    Note   No two Output Files can have the same name.

  7. Click Finish.

A folder for output file is created. Checking-in the file, inserts/updates the record in the AsFileOutput table in the database. When the file is checked-out, you can edit the File Name and add XSLT using the fields at the top of the Configuration area. Refer to the Check-Out and Check-in Rules section for further details.

  2. Double-click the Administration folder.

  3. Double-click the Files folder.
