Use Case

The following activity illustrates how we can use this activity to append a value
to a child node. Here we are going to append the nodename “newnode” with a
value “testnode”, an attribute name “heading1” and attribute input “Robility” to
the node “from”.

Steps to execute the bot

1.      Drag and drop a get XML object which is the scope for all other activities.

2.      Mention the path of the xml file.

3.      Drag and drop the get node activity into the scope.

4.      Double click on the activity and enter the node name from which the text has
to be extracted. Here it is “from”.

5.      Declare a variable in the Xml node box of the output segment. Here it is “Gnode”.

6.      Drag and drop an append child activity to the workflow.

7.      Click on the activity and navigate to the property box.

8.      Specify the NodeAttributeInput as “Robility”.

9.      Specify the NodeAttributeName as “heading1”.

10.   Specify the NodeInput as “testnode”.

11.   Specify the NodeName as “newnode”.

12.   Specify the same variable declared in the GetNode activity, as the xml node
 input. Here it is Gnode.

13.   Execute the workflow and open the file to see the newly added values to the
 specified child node.
 

The bot executes the workflow and appends the given values to the child node “from”.
