Configuring XPath Expressions Overview

Configuring XPath Expressions Overview

In this lesson, you configure the
Patient_Claim
 XMap with a mapping statement that passes the current date, the date you submit claims, to the output.

Lesson Concepts

Mapping statements contain fields that you can configure to customize the statement. Use the XPath editor to configure expressions. XPath is a query language used to select nodes in an XML document and perform computations.
You can configure XPath expressions in Input, Condition, and Output mapping fields. XPath expressions identify specific elements in XML documents, or check for conditions in the data. Create expressions in the XPath editor. When you click the Open button to the right of the Input, Condition, or Output field, you open the XPath editor.
The XPath editor has a Navigation panel with a function library that you can use to create XPath expressions. The functions are standard for the W3C XML Path Language. The function library also includes some functions that are specific to the Data Processor transformation.

Lesson Objectives

In this lesson, you complete the following tasks:
  • Create an XPath function expression in a mapping statement that passes the current date to the output.
  • Use the XPath Expression Editor to create the function expression that generates the current date.
  • Validate the transformation.

Lesson Prerequisites

Before you start this lesson, verify the following prerequisites:
  • You completed previous lessons in the tutorial. Use the
    Patient_Claim
     XMap that you created in previous lessons.

Lesson Timing

Set aside 5 to 10 minutes to complete the tasks in this lesson.
