The ITP XML File Connection enables you to retrieve data from XML files via XML tags. The tags and the output columns are part of the Entry Definition.
Conceptually, the XML File Connection differs significantly from the existing database connections. XML files represent a subset of information from a database, which has been prepared by an external application. Therefore the XML File Connection does not query the database for available information like the existing connections do (pull technology), but assumes that the information it is provided with is all that the model will need (push technology).
This manual assumes that the reader is familiar with XML and ITP Model Construction.
