XMLFile Connection

Access level: read, write

With XMLFile connection, an XML-structured file can be specified.

PGP encryption and decryption are supported for file-based connections, such as XMLQVX. PGP  must be configured in the Cloud Console for your Jedox environment. See   for more information.

Connection settings

Type The following file locations are supported:

File / Directory settings File:file name is the path to the file. The syntax of the file name is location-specific.

Directory: directory name is the path to the directory containing the files. For root, use "/". File pattern (optional) is a regular expression on the filenames for the selection of files in the directory. Select the option Recursive to include all subdirectories within the chosen directory.

Decryption method Decryption method is only relevant when extracting data from an encrypted file.

For PGP decryption, enter the passphrase that was set during key creation. The key will be a private / secret key. See   for details.

Directory connections will only work if the same passphrase can be used for all files (either the files use keys without passphrase, or the keys for the files have the same passphrase).

Encryption method

For PGP encryption, a public key ID is required; this can be obtained from the "name" column in the Keys & Secrets section of the Cloud Console.

Encoding The most common character encodings are UTF-8 (default), ASCII, and latin1 (Windows standard). A list of all character codes can be found at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/intl/encoding.doc.html
From this list you can also enter manually a character code into the field ‘Encoding’. Note that this connection only supports file encodings as provided by the Java Runtime Environment.
XSD schema file If set, the XML file is validated against the XSD Schema. For extracts, this is done for the existing XML file; for loads, this is done against the created XML file.

The XSD file is taken from either

  • "FileSystem", when a full path is entered (e.g. "C:\myfolder\my.xsd")
  • the same location as the XML file itself, from the same folder. No folder has to be indicated in this case, just e.g. "my.xsd".
XSD validation Defines the behavior in case of a validation error against the XSD Schema:
  • none: no reaction
  • info: an info message appears
  • warning: a warning Message appears
  • error: an error message appears
