Generic XML File Reader Protocol

Solved510 views6th January 2025

Ashwiny J K Anandan [DevOps Advocate]530 2nd January 2025 0 Comments

Hi Dojo,

I came across this protocol (Generic XML File Reader) which can read the content of XML file.

However, we need to click "Check" for the element to update the content from the XML file.

How can we ensure that the data in the XML file is constantly updated in the element using this protocol? TQ

Hi Ashwiny

A possible workaround is to use two scheduler tasks. One starts 30 seconds after the other. This way, you achieve the 30-second cycle

Hi Tiago,

Thanks for the suggestion. With schedule constantly triggering every 30 seconds interval, could it lead to any issues on DMA?

Tiago Pina [SLC] [DevOps Advocate] commented 6th January 2025

Having a scheduler task that runs every 30s should be a valid situation. It's something I would suggest as a feature

Hi Ashwiny,

Since it is not possible to set a repetition period lower than one minute in the scheduler, I believe the best approach here is to update the current connector (Generic XML File Reader) to support this new feature.

In order to make it this feature generic, you could create an extra parameter that controls the update frequency. For backwards compatibility (e.g. for use cases where this feature is not required), you could add an extra toggle button parameter to enable/disable this feature.

Hope it helps.

Hi Ashwiny,

If you're looking for a way to periodically click the check button while maintaining full control, you could create an automation script (that performs the click on the desired element and button) and schedule it using your Scheduler module in DataMiner:

Kind regards,

Hi Jose, Thanks for the suggestion. I did try out using automation script and scheduler. However, the scheduler only has option to repeat every minute. I would like to update the data in the element at least every 30 seconds.

Could you suggest how can i achieve this?

José Silva [SLC] [DevOps Catalyst] commented 2nd January 2025

Hi Ashwiny,

Another suggestion would be to create a simple connector where you could set a timer to do the checks for you.
