Editing resource XML

Edit online

Use the XML editor to make it easier to edit XML files.

Before you begin

Read the following information before beginning this procedure:

Much of the data used within Netcool Configuration Manager is in XML format. When working with the Resource Browser, you do not need to worry about the XML that forms resource configurations and command sets because the Configuration Editor translates the XML into easily editable GUI objects such as lists, fields, and check boxes.
To create or edit security sets, authentication resources, and network resource access properties, however, you must work with the actual XML. To make working with the XML easier, a simple XML editor is used.

About this task

Follow these steps to use the XML editor to edit an XML file.

Procedure

To view XML, right click on the resource and select Resource Access from the drop down menu.
The XML editor displays the XML code associated with the selected resource.
Use breaks and spaces (tabs) to make the data in the XML file easier to read.
Note: When working with XML, spaces and line breaks do not matter.
Check for errors.
The simple XML editor checks for errors (for example, missing angle brackets). The XML editor provides the line number where the error occurs along with a brief description of the issue. The editor checks for well-formed XML only. You still need to ensure that all attribute names are correct.
When you view an Authentication general resource (GR) that has a password or enable password making use of special characters (for example, the ampersand (&) in the Preview screen (File > Preview) or in XML format, the character will be displayed in its escaped form, that is, &amp.
When finished creating or editing an XML document, select File > Save.

Example

The following example shows the XML code for a resource access general resource:
