17.2 Instruction File Examples

Let us take a few examples to understand how Instruction Files work in Documentum.

17.2.1 Deleting an XML Element from an XML File with <delete-element>

Let us walk through a very simple example where content is created from a simple template XML file and later an XML element is removed from the template file. The existing content is updated via a simple Instruction File using the <delete-element> instruction.

1. 1. Create a Template file (Original_Template.xml) and its associated Rules file (Original_TemplateRules.xml) as per the following structure:

   Template File Original_Template.xml:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <PRODUCTINFO>
   <NAME/>
   <SHORTDESC/>
   <COST/>
   <PRODUCTTYPE/>
   </PRODUCTINFO>
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <rules>
   <tagcontent tag_name="NAME">
   <textline instruction="Please enter a name" label="Product name:" required="Y">
   </textline>
   </tagcontent&gt...
