Can we generate XML file in pretty print format using native snapLogic snaps?

Hi Team,   I was curious to know if anybody has worked on a use case where they are generating an XML file in pretty print format? We do have "pretty-print" option in JSON formatter however the sa...

    Expanding on the solution provided and using information from the web related to javascript, I came up with the following statement. There was experimentation involved for sure.
    $.mapValues((value,key)=> typeof(value) == ‘object’ && value.hasOwnProperty(“@xsi:nil”)? null :value).mapKeys((value,key)=> key.replace(‘ns2:’,‘’))
    mapValues and mapKeys are admittedly a bit of a black box for me still.
    Thanks @JensDeveloper for leading me done a good path.

The file protocol is for working with the groundplex’s file system. Is that what you’re intending to do? From the URL and the mention of Basic Auth, it is looking like a bit like a file hosted on a different server. Is that the case? If so, then you’ll need to know the file servers protocol and configure the snap based on that.

Hello there,

Yes. We are trying to access files from shared drive and move it to a different location on the same server.

Have couple of following questions.

  1. Do you have any sample for working file operation snap with file protocol with sample url values. Do we need to give the complete path with filename for Target or just the target path till the folder is fine

Source : file:////somedirectory/somfile.csv
Target : file:////somedirectory/somfile.csv

vs
Source : file:////somedirectory/somfile.csv
Target : file:////somedirectory/

  1. Do we need to use any accounts for accessing share drive files using file protocol.

  2. Do you have any screen shots for how do we configure the share drives on windows server for accessing with file protocol.

  3. Whats the difference between file:///Z:/somedirectory/somefile.csv (if you have a Groundplex on Windows) and * file:////somedirectory/somfile.csv (if you’re using the Universal Naming Convention). When can we use Universal Naming Convention and can we use it with Windows server configuration.

  4. If we have not mapped our network drive to any of the Drives on the server and using generic network access user; can we still use the Groundplex on Windows configuration file path specifications.

It would be highly appreciable if we get some working pipelines with sample values. Thanks
