*Mandatory fields to execute the workflow

Use Case

The following example illustrates how we can use the deserialize activity to convert
a string value to an XML object. In this example, we continue from the serialize
activity where we get the output as a string. We use this value as an input for the
deserialize activity.

Steps to execute the bot

Continuing from the serialize activity, click here to see the serialize activity workflow.

1.      Drag and drop a deserialize activity below the writelog activity.

2.      Specify the input as “serxml” which is the output of the serialize activity that is a
 string value.

3.      Declare a variable in the output box of the output segment to see the output. Here it is
 “deserxml”.

4.      Drag and drop a write log activity to the workflow.

5.      Specify the input as “deserxml.innerxml” as we have to read the inner text of the xml file.

6.      Mention the log level as “info.”

7.      Execute the workflow to see the output.

The bot executes the workflow and coverst the string value to an XML file. Here we have
given the input in writelog as deserxml.innerxml , to see the inner text of the xml file.
