Connect to XML

To connect to XML in :
  1. Open the Connections page of the dashboard.
  2. Click Add Connection to open the Select Connectors page.
  3. Click the Sources tab and locate the XML row.
  4. Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row. If you do not see the Configure Connection icon, add the connector from the Connections page.
  5. Enter the following connection settings on the Settings tab:
    • Connection Type: Select the connection type for your XML resources. The default type is Auto.
    • Data Model: Select the data model that you want to use for parsing XML documents and generating the database metadata.
    • URI: Enter the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for your XML resource location.
    • XPath: Enter the XML path that repeats at the same level within the XML document. You can specify multiple paths in a semicolon-separated list.
    • XML Format: Select the XML format that you want to use. The default format is XML.
  6. Define advanced connection settings on the Advanced tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)
  7. Click Create & Test to create your connection.
