XML Transformation with XQuery

Use the XML transformation with XQuery scenario to apply a transformation in which an XQuery file queries an XML file for the output results.

To create an XML transformation with XQuery scenario, use one of the following methods:

• Use the Configure Transformation Scenario(s) (Ctrl + Shift + C (Command + Shift + C on OS X)) action from the toolbar or the Document ⇒ Transformation menu. Then click the New button and select XML transformation with XQuery.
• Use the Apply Transformation Scenario(s) (Ctrl + Shift + T (Command + Shift + T on OS X)) action from the toolbar or the Document ⇒ Transformation menu. Then click the New button and select XML transformation with XQuery.

  Note

  If a scenario is already associated with the edited document, selecting Apply 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 Window ⇒ Show View and select Transformation Scenarios to display this view. Click the New button and select XML transformation with XQuery.

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 and the following Storage options:

• Project Options - The scenario is stored in the project file and can be shared with other users. For example, if your project is saved on a source versioning/sharing system (CVS, SVN, Source Safe, etc.) or a shared folder, your team can use the scenarios that you store in the project file.
• Global Options - The scenario is saved in the global options that are stored in the user home directory and is not accessible to other users.

The lower part of the dialog box contains several tabs that allow you to configure the options that control the transformation.
