Hierarchical XML File Examples

Example 2: Importing Multiple Incidents

Example 1: Importing a Problem and Incident

This topic provides an example of a source document that is in XML (Problem-Incident-raw.xml), but not in the hierarchical XML format.

You can upload that file using the hierarchical XML import by applying the Problem-Incident.xsl XSL file.

Internally, this transforms the file to be like the Problem-Incident.xml file, which does conform to the hierarchical XML format, and can then be imported.

Example 2: Importing Multiple Incidents

This example shows how to import multiple incidents. The transaction is updateAdd, meaning that if the incident number exists, the system updates the incident, but if the incident number does not exist, the system creates the incident. The first record does not include an incident number, so the system creates a new incident. The second record contains an incident number; if that incident already exists, the system updates it, but if it does not exist, the system creates it.

Below, find the following:
