XML Data

XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language. XML tags are not predefined, you are free to define your own tags to describe the data. XML is designed to be self-descriptive.

XML structure is defined by elements, attributes (and their values), and text (element text).

Examples

Oracle XML

Processing of Oracle XML is an integral part of the software. You don't have to configure any filters to extract the data, just run the built-in action Run Oracle XML Command File. For more information on the XML structure, see section Oracle XML Specifications.

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<labels _FORMAT="case.nlbl" _PRINTERNAME="Production01" _QUANTITY="1">
    <label>
        <variable name="CASEID">0000000123</variable>
        <variable name="CARTONTYPE"/>
        <variable name="ORDERKEY">0000000534</variable>
        <variable name="BUYERPO"/>
        <variable name="ROUTE"></variable>
        <variable name="CONTAINERDETAILID">0000004212</variable>
        <variable name="SERIALREFERENCE">0</variable>
        <variable name="FILTERVALUE">0</variable>
        <variable name="INDICATORDIGIT">0</variable>
        <variable name="DATE">11/19/2012 10:59:03</variable>

General XML

If the XML structure in not natively supported in the software, define the XML filter, and define rules to extract the data. For more information, see section Understanding Filters.

NiceLabel XML

Processing of NiceLabel XML is an integral part of the software. You don't have to configure any filters to extract the data, just run the built-in action Run Command File. For more information on the XML structure, see section XML Command File.
