It is possible to domuch the same as this using Table to JSON and JSON to XML, but themechanism here provides greater flexibility when we then wish toprogress further by joining to other tables, and build up a more complexnested XML structureBrian Bates @takbb 31 March 2021 Here the individual columns have beenconverted to XML by separate nodes. Thisis ok here as an intro to the nodes, butwould soon become unwieldy and messyif there were a large number of columns. I will address this in a different workflowexample This extracting of context properties anduse of Java Edit Variable is included hereonly because I couldn't find a way of usingrelative file paths with XML Row Combineand Write. There may be another way todo this that I couldn't find, and In future,this may not be necessary.
