XmlToDocument_372

XmlToDocument_372

The
XmlToDocument_372
document processor converts XML data to document formats, such as PDF or Excel. You can use it as a post-processor to convert Parser or Mapper output to various document types.
This component uses the
Business Intelligence and Reporting Tool
(BIRT) Eclipse add-on to generate the output documents. In BIRT, you must configure a report that converts the XML to the desired document format. The
XmlToDocument_372
processor runs the report.
You can download BIRT from the location mentioned in the
readme_BIRT.txt
file at
<Data Transformation engine installation directory>/readme_Birt.txt
.
For more information about BIRT, see http://www.eclipse.org/birt.
To use BIRT version 4.5, use the
XmlToDocument_45
preprocessor instead of the
XmlToDocument_372
preprocessor.
The following table describes the properties of the
XmlToDocument_372
document processor:
Property
Description
param1
The path and file name of the BIRT
*.rptdesign
file. The
param1
property is named
report_file
and contains the property
value
, which contains the path and file name.
param2
The format of the output document. The
param2
property is named

  • ppt. Microsoft PowerPoint presentation.

$VarServiceInfo/*s/ServiceLocation
.
value

param1
,

Effective in version 9.5.1, the
XmlToDocument
processor is deprecated. The IntelliScript editor still displays the
XmlToDocument
preprocessor in existing Scripts, but you can no longer add the preprocessor to new Scripts. Use the
XmlToDocument_372
preprocessor instead.
