*Mandatory fields to execute the workflow

The following activity illustrates on how we can use the set node activity to set the
text as “Waffles with Belgian Sauce” in the node “name”of the xml file and see the
 output.

Example

1.      Drag and drop a get XML object activity to the workflow which is the scope.

2.      Fill in the required details.

3.      Declare the variable as xmldoc in the xmldocument box of the output segment of
 the get xml object activity.

4.      Drag and drop a set node activity within the scope.

5.      Specify the input string as “Waffles with Belgian Sauce” , which is text to be set
 for the node.

6.      Specify the node to which the above text has to be set. Here it is “name”.

7.      To see the output, we need to drag and drop a writelog activity outside the scope,
 since the variable in the set node activity gives only a Boolean value.

8.      Click on the writelog activity and enter the input string as the variable declared for
 the getxmlobject.innerxml, since the setnode activity is within the scope. Here it is
 xmldoc.innerxml

9.      Execute the activity.

The bot executes the activity and sets the Waffles with Belgian Sauce in the
 given node. If you wish to save this to the file, use the save activity from XML
automation.
