XQuery Transformation
This type of transformation specifies the parameters and location of an XML source
that
the edited XQuery file is applied on.
Note
When the XML source is a native XML database, the source field of the scenario is
empty
because the XML data is read with XQuery-specific functions, such as
document(). When the XML source is a local XML file, the URL of the file
is specified in the input field of the scenario.
To create an XQuery transformation scenario, use one of the following methods:
- Use the
Configure Transformation Scenario(s) (Alt + Shift +
T, C (Command + Alt + T, C on OS X)) action from the
toolbar or the XML menu. Then click the New button and select
XQuery transformation.
- Use the
Apply Transformation Scenario(s) (Alt + Shift +
T, T (Command + Alt + T, T on OS X)) action from the
toolbar or the XML menu. Then click the New button and select
XQuery transformation.
Note
If a scenario is already associated with the edited document, selectingApply Transformation
Scenario(s) runs the associated scenario automatically. You can check to see
if transformation scenarios are associated with the edited document by hovering your
cursor
over the Apply Transformation
Scenario button.
- Go to and select Transformation Scenarios to display this view.
Click the New button and select XQuery
transformation.
All three methods open the New Scenario dialog box.
The upper part of the dialog box allows you to specify the Name of the transformation scenario.
The lower part of the dialog box contains several tabs that allow you to configure the options that control the transformation.
