RepeatingGroupSerializer

The

RepeatingGroupSerializer

serialization anchor writes a repetitive structure to the output document.

Use a

RepeatingGroupSerializer

when the XML data contains a multiple-occurrence data holder. It iterates over the occurrences of the data holder and outputs the data. For more information, see Multiple-Occurrence Data Holders.

Under the

RepeatingGroupSerializer

, nest serialization anchors that process and output each occurrence of the data holder. You can define a separator that the

RepeatingGroupSerializer

writes to the output between the iterations.

The following table describes the properties of the

RepeatingGroupSerializer

serialization anchor:

Property	Description
count	Defines the number of iterations to run. If this property is blank, the iterations continue until the input is exhausted.
current_iteration	Defines a data holder where the RepeatingGroupSerializer outputs the number of the current iteration. You can use a ContentSerializer to write the number to the output.
disabled	Determines whether the Script ignores the component and all of the child components. Use this property to test, debug, and modify a Script. You can choose one of the following options: Selected. The Script ignores the component. Cleared. The Script applies the component. The default is cleared.
name	A descriptive label for the component. This label appears in the log file and the Events view. Use the name property to identify the component that caused the event.
notifications	A list of NotificationHandler components that handle notifications from nested components. For more information, see Notifications.
on_fail	The action to take if the component fails. You can choose one of the following options: Cleared. Take no action. CustomLog. Write to the user log. LogError. Write an error message to the engine log. LogInfo. Write an information message to the engine log. LogWarning. Write a warning message to the engine log. NotifyFailure. Send a notification. Default is cleared. For more information about handling component failures, see Failure Handling.
on_iteration_fail	Determines the action when an iteration fails. You can choose one of the following options: Cleared. No action. CustomLog. Writes to the user log. LogError. Writes an error message to the Engine log. LogInfo. Writes an information message to the Engine log. LogWarning. Writes a warning message to the Engine log. NotifyFailure. Triggers a notification. Use on_iteration_fail to write an entry when a single iteration fails. Use the on_fail property to write an entry when the entire RepeatingGroupSerializer fails. For more information, see Failure Handling.
optional	Determines whether a component failure causes the parent component to fail. You can choose one of the following options: Selected. Component failure does not cause the parent component to fail. Cleared. Component failure causes the parent component to fail. Default is cleared. For more information about component failure, see Failure Handling.
remark	A user-defined comment that describes the purpose or action of the component.
separator	Defines a serialization anchor that defines the separator string. You can choose one of the following options: AlternativeSerializers ContentSerializer EmbeddedSerializer GroupSerializer RepeatingGroupSerializer StringSerializer User-defined Serializer Default is blank.
separator_position	Defines the position of the separator relative to the sections. You can choose one of the following options: after. Writes a separator after each section, including the first sections. For example, 1\|2\|3\|4\| around. Writes separators before and after each section, including the first sections. For example, \|1\|2\|3\|4\| before. Write a separator before each section, including the first sections. For example, \|1\|2\|3\|4 between. Writes a separator between the successive sections, but not before the first section and not after the last section. For example, 1\|2\|3\|4 Default is before.
skip_failed_iterations	Determines whether failed iterations are skipped. You can choose one of the following options: Selected. RepeatingGroup skips over a failed iteration and proceeds with the next iteration. If an iteration succeeds, the RepeatingGroup succeeds. Cleared. RepeatingGroup fails if any iteration fails. The skip_failed_iterations property has an effect only if separator is defined. Default is selected.
source	Defines a data holder that contains the source for the serialization. For more information, see Overview of Validators, Notifiers, and Failure Handling.
target	Defines a data holder that contains the result of the serialization. For more information, see Overview of Validators, Notifiers, and Failure Handling.
