Automic Workload Automation

Hi,

I am trying to use VARA_XML in PromptSet. The XML is:

    <BOOK>
        <name>Learning_Java</name>
        <author>James_Clark</author>

        <author>Ken_Follett</author>
        <author>Steven_King</author>
    </BOOK>
    <BOOK>
        <name>7_Habits</name>
        <author>Steven_Covey</author>
    </BOOK>

and I have a PRPT with two fields:

1- ComboBox to list all books. so the XPath/XQuery for it is book/name and it lists all books and it assigns the result to &BOOK#

2- Checkbox to show all authors of a book. the XPath/XQuery for it is book/author[name=&BOOK#] but this doesn't work even if I replace &BOOK# with static value like  "7_Habits". I also tried to use ' and " around &BOOK# but I got the same result, no data returned.

Can any body help with that?

Thanks

Hesham

Hi,

I have tried the following XPath and it seems to work. I don't believe we can add AE variables in the Xpath. I will do some research and get back to you by Friday.

.//BOOK[name = "7 Habits"]/author

Hi HeshamMahmoudElSheikha604412 ,

We can use variables in prompt sets. They have to be of type combo box with the option 'Dynamic reload' checked.

If created an example here with a different xml that gives me more tags than I want.

Maybe someone with more XPath skills can fix this.

First prompt:

Second prompt:

Result:

I don't know how to only get the last-name without the <award> tag.

Cheers,

Alexander
