Modify an XML Document
You can run a workflow from the Orchestrator client to modify the XML that the Create a simple XML
document workflow creates.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to the Orchestrator client as a user who can run XML workflows.
n
Verify that you created the c:/orchestrator folder at the root of the Orchestrator server system or set
access rights to another folder.
Procedure
1 Click the Workflows view in the Orchestrator client.
2 In the workflows hierarchical list, open Library > XML > Samples XML (Simple) to navigate to the
Modify XML document workflow.
3 Right-click the Modify XML document workflow and select Start workflow.
4 Provide the input and output filepaths.
a Type the filepath to the XML document to modify.
For example, c:/orchestrator/filename.xml.
b Type the filepath to the modified XML document.
For example, c:/orchestrator/filename.xml.
NOTE If you type the same filepath in both fields, the workflow overwrites the original file with the
modified file. If you type an output filepath to a file that does not exist, the workflow creates a modified
file.
5 Click Submit to run the workflow.
The workflow searches for an element and modifies the entry where the element is found.
Create an Example Address Book from XML
You can run a workflow from the Orchestrator client to create an address book for testing purposes.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to the Orchestrator client as a user who can run XML workflows.
n
Verify that you created the c:/orchestrator folder at the root of the Orchestrator server system or set
access rights to another folder.
Procedure
1 Click the Workflows view in the Orchestrator client.
2 In the workflows hierarchical list, open Library > XML > Samples XML (Address Book) to navigate to
the Full address book test workflow.
3 Right-click the Full address book test workflow and select Start workflow.
4 Type the path to the address book folder.
For example, c:/orchestrator/foldername.
The workflow automatically creates the folder if it does not exist.
