Description

Create XML Element
Name CreateXMLElement
Purpose Create an XML element
Category UBIK Data Exchange
Returns True if successful
Version 2.1.15+

Arguments

Argument Type Direction Purpose
ParentElement XmlElement In The parent element where the new element should be created below; if empty, it will take the element from its nesting host
ElementName String In The name of the new element
ElementValue String In The value of the new element
ElementComment String In The comment to the new element
CreatedElement XmlElement Out The created XML element

Usage

This activity is used to create a single XML element below an existing element, as a nested activity within a CreateXMLScope activity. It is a nestable activity, which means it can host a sub activity that will be processed. The hosted activities are typically of type CreateXMLElement again, or CreateXMLAttribute activities, either as direct children or wrapped into other activities like ForEach or Sequence.

IC Attention.pngThis activity provides the created XML element automatically to all XML sub activities, so the XML hierarchy will be built in the very way sub activities are nested!

Example
