Reference: Message Element Properties

Limit

limit

A limit on the number of characters the message can contain. The default value of zero indicates no character limit.

Escape Xml

escape-xml

Enables escaping of XML on exceptions in the

write

step.

Namespaces

namespaces

Enables you to specify any namespace required by the XPath expression in the format

<prefix1> <namespace1> <prefix2> <namespace2>

.

XPath

xpath

The XPath expression used to extract a value from the incoming message.

XPath Version

xpath-version

Workday Studio supports XPath versions 1.0 and 2.0. The default value is 2 for assembly versions from Workday 12 onward and 1 for earlier versions.

Allow Saxon Bytecode Generation

Specifies whether to allow Saxon bytecode generation. The default is

false

.

Reuse Strategy

Specifies the XSLT transformer reuse strategy:

default
: if you specify the
url
property using the mctx URL protocol or an MVEL expression, the default behavior is
no-reuse
. Otherwise, it's
transformer-pool
.
When you set
transformer-factory
to Saxon, the default behavior is
templates
.
no-reuse
: Workday doesn't reuse transformer objects.
templates
: Workday builds a Templates object, from which it creates fresh transformer objects. These transformers aren't reused.
transformer-pool
: Workday uses a pool of transformers. Not recommended if the transformer object caches values.

Secure Processing

Specifies whether a transformer performs XSLT standard processing only. Set to

true

to impose limits on XML constructs. Example: ignore JavaScript or Java extension processing. Set to

false

to process XML according to the XML specifications.

Transformer Factory

The class name of the

TransformerFactory

that you want to use. The default is the JAXP factory. There are 3 other options:

net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl
for Saxon.
org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl
for Xalan.
net.sf.joost.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl
for Joost.

Url

The XSLT file location, either a relative path or an absolute URL. Supports MVEL expression templates.

Namespaces

namespaces

Enables you to specify any namespace required by the XPath expression in the format

<prefix1> <namespace1> <prefix2> <namespace2>

.

XPath

xpath

The XPath expression to apply to the message when retrieving XML elements. Workday uses Streaming API for XML (StAX) processing. This library reads XML messages and translates them into events, rather than DOM. It doesn't perform any transformations itself.

/order/item, /ns:order/ns:order
//item, //ns:item, /ns:order/item
/*/*, //* /*/*

XPath Version

xpath-version

Workday Studio supports XPath versions 1.0 and 2.0. The default value is 2 for assembly versions from Workday 12 onward and 1 for earlier versions.

Limit

limit

Constrains the number of XML fragments to match based on the XPath expression. Useful mainly for performance reasons. If you know there's just 1 matching XML fragment, set the limit to

1

to prevent pull-parsing of the document after the result has been retrieved. The default value is

-1

, which means an unlimited result set.

Delimiter

delimiter

Specifies a string used to separate 2 or more occurrences. The default value is a single space.

Limit

limit

Specifies the number of occurrences to include in the result set. The default value is zero, which means all occurrences.

Regex

regex

Defines the matching expression.

Character Encoding

character-encoding

Specifies the character encoding. The default value is

UTF-8

.

Input File

input-file

Specifies the file.

Include Name

include-name

Specifies whether Studio inserts the header name.

Name

name

The header name.

Not Set Value

not-set-value

A string that's emitted if the header isn't found or is empty.
