The XPaths tab allows you to create XPath expressions, which are used to search for and extract data from XML messages.

Note:

This tab is not available for non-XML message item types.

To create XPath expressions:

  1. Click Add. The XPath dialog box is displayed.
  2. Type the name of your new XPath expression in the XPath Name field.
  3. Enable the Ignore Namespaces option for XPaths against a Message Item Type that uses only one namespace. If an XPath is configured to run against a message item that uses a default namespace and this option is not checked, the XPath will fail (unless the XPath expression itself has been carefully written to filter by namespace or to use local names only).
  4. Type the value of the XML format definition to specify the type of data within the incoming XML file in the XPath field.
  5. Enter an expression for the XPath in the Expression field. See Using the Expression Field for information on creating an expression.
    When writing an expression as part of an XPath, the XPath is executed before the expression is run. Therefore, when writing an expression for an XPath, it is generally desirable to be able to reference the result of the XPath. To reference the value returned by the XPath so that you can use it as an input value for an expression, use the control word xpathresult.
    For example:
    Append(xpathresult; " - Appended")
    This expression appends the value of " - Appended" to the XPath result, such that if the result of the XPath is Value, the return value for the expression will be Value - Appended.
