Specifying XML Record Attribute Values

Use the XML Record Indicator Attribute check box on the Bulk Load Handler page to distinguish and specify records and fields on incoming XML content of nonrowset-based messages.

This example illustrates a partial view of the Bulk Load Handler page. The example shows the XML Record Indicator Attribute section of the page that you use to specify an attribute name and value for nonrowset-based messages.

XML Record Indicator Attribute box

When you specify an attribute name and value, the system recognizes content with that name and value as a record. Content placed in the message after that attribute name/value pair is considered child data.

When the service operation contains a nonrowset-based message, you must specify an attribute name and attribute value. If you do not supply values for these fields, an error message appears. These fields are optional when the service operation contains a rowset-based message.

To specify XML record attribute values:

  1. Access the Bulk Load Handler page (PeopleTools, and then Integration Broker, and then Integration Setup, and then Service Operation Definitions and click the Handlers tab. Click the Details link for the bulk load handler).

  2. In the Attribute Name field, enter the attribute name that the system should recognize as the record.

    For example, Class.

  3. In the Attribute Value field, enter the value for the attribute name.

    For example, R.

  4. Click the Save button.
