Post data to XML template in Agentry app

Hi Community,

Is there a way to post data from object/transaction properties to XML template in Agentry?

From the below link, it appears we can do it using an update rule, but I couldn't understand how? Any other information on this would be helpful.

Narasimha,

That article is just suggesting that it could be done with an update rule.  This would still be a completely manual process where you would need to create the XML using CONCATENATE statements in the rule to build the XML by hand.  The update rule would be tied to a transaction property.  You would then use the Java or SQL backend to pass the generated XML to your backend system.

To have Agentry build the XML transaction data for you via template, you need to use the XML backend and create XML backend steps.  The XML backend is used primarily for communicating with web services.  Within the step, you set up your base XML template with placeholders for the transaction properties.

Here are a couple links to help get you started with the XML backend:
