XML Data Sink

XML Data Sink generates XML output from a data stream and writes the results to the local file system.

The properties of the XML Data Sink can be changed either from within the XML Data Sink component window or by manipulating the items in the Property section. Use the Properties button to open the component window from the Property section.

An attribute is the equivalent of a Data Element (Field) on a Sybase ETL data stream. It has a name and a (changing) value. There are two common ways to define Attribute Values in XML: as an Attribute or a Tag. You can select the way you want your attribute to show up in your XML Document by right clicking on an entry in the XML Output Definition and select Node Type.

A Node can either be a Name/Value combination or a Structure Node that refers to a substructure.
