Generating your XPath key using the wcs_xpathkey utility
The XPath key generator command-line utility takes an XPath expression as input and generates an XPath key. This key is used to locate the XPATH_TO_SQL_STATEMENT template in the query template file.
About this task
Note: The name of the XPath to SQL template
is the same as the key for two-step queries. For single-step queries,
it is a combination of the XPath key and the name of the access profile.
To
generate your XPath key:Procedure
- Open a command line prompt and navigate to WCDE_installdir\bin.
- Run the following command, where MyXPath is
your XPath expression:
For example:wcs_xpathkey MyXPath
The output from this command would be:wcs_xpathkey /CatalogEntry[(@catalogEntryTypeCode='ProductBean' or @catalogEntryTypeCode='ItemBean') and ParentCatalogGroupIdentifier[ExternalIdentifier[GroupIdentifier='Coffee Table']]]
/CatalogEntry[(@catalogEntryTypeCode=) and ParentCatalogGroupIdentifier[ExternalIdentifier[GroupIdentifier=]]]
