Event Action Transform XML

Note: You can access this form only from the Event Actions form.

Use this form to construct an application event action that takes XML as input and transforms it for use elsewhere.

The Transform XML event action type transforms specified XML, based on transformation rules contained in the XSLT, with the resulting XML stored in a result variable or parameter.

A transform XML operation can range from simple (picking out a single specific element from a large document, to be used as part of a SUBSTITUTE expression in a Notify action) to complex (translating an entire document from one format to another, to be used as input to some other process).

So, for example, you could use this action type to perform actions such as these:

Capturing a failed XML document from a folder on disk, transforming it into a form that another application can use, and sending it to that application, perhaps using a Call IDO Method action.
The other application might be an error-logging utility, another business application, a web service, or the like.
Capturing an XML response to an IDO request action, parsing out part of it, and then using it in another application.
