loop-action

This command specifies the action to run for the for-each action.

Syntax

loop-action action

Parameters

action
Specifies the name of the action to run.

Guidelines

The loop-action command specifies the name an action in the for-each action. The output context of the for-each action replaces the output context of the named action. In the following situation, the final output context uses the same name and appends a number.
  • The output context of the for-each action and the named action are the same.
  • The value of the multiple-outputs command is on.

This command is meaningful only when the action type for the type command is for-each.

Examples

  • Indicate that the transformer action runs one time for each item element in the INPUT context.
    # type for-each
    # input INPUT
    # iterator-type xpath
    # iterator-expression //*[local-name()='item']
    # loop-action transformer
