Generate 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

  1. Open a command line prompt and navigate to WCDE_installdir\bin.

  2. Run the following command, where MyXPath is your XPath expression: 

      wcs_xpathkey MyXPath

    For example: 

      wcs_xpathkey /CatalogEntry[(@catalogEntryTypeCode='ProductBean' or @catalogEntryTypeCode='ItemBean') and ParentCatalogGroupIdentifier[ExternalIdentifier[GroupIdentifier='Coffee Table']]]

    The output from this command would be: 

      /CatalogEntry[(@catalogEntryTypeCode=) and ParentCatalogGroupIdentifier[ExternalIdentifier[GroupIdentifier=]]]
