Cause:
- ResultsWriter required a generic way to generate customer-specific XML result data from TBF measurement results.
- The customer reference XML contains example runtime values and repeated result structures, so it cannot be used directly as the generated output.
- TBF result variables must be explicitly mapped to destinations in the customer XML structure.
- The generated XML result data must support two output targets:
- direct creation of an XML file,
- delivery of the XML payload to a Microsoft SQL stored procedure.
- Preview generation must allow the XML structure and configured mappings to be verified without executing the production database write.
- Increase revision to 3.9.3145.100.
Solution:
1. Added XML reference analysis
- Creates a clean base XML structure.
- Extracts the repeating result prototype.
- Prevents sample runtime values from the customer reference XML from leaking into generated results.
2. Added configurable TBF-to-XML result mapping
- Allows explicit mapping of TBF result variables to customer XML destinations.
- Supports one-time and repeating XML destinations.
- Keeps the mapping independent of the semantic meaning of customer XML attribute names.
3. Added XML destination viewer and configurator
- Shows the current mapping.
- Highlights repeating destinations.
- Identifies already used one-time destinations.
4. Added runtime XML result generation
- Uses the configured TBF-to-XML mappings.
- Uses measurement procedure result data.
- Builds the output from the clean base XML and repeating XML prototype.
- Generates repeated result records according to the executed measurement procedure.
5. Added simulation-based Preview request
- Generates a complete XML payload using simulation values.
- Allows XML structure and mapping verification before production execution.
- Does not execute the production stored procedure.
6. Added direct XML file output support to UniDataStorageWriter
- Supports File / .xml as a physical output target.
- Creates the generated XML result file in the configured output directory.
7. Added Microsoft SQL stored-procedure XML output
- Supports Microsoft SQL / StoredProcedure as a physical output target.
- Passes the generated XML payload through the configured stored procedure parameter.
8. Added optional XML payload archiving
- Allows generated XML payloads to be stored in the configured Payload archive.
- Can be used together with the Microsoft SQL stored-procedure output.
9. Kept ResultsWriter independent of the physical output target
- ResultsWriter generates the result payload.
- UniDataStorageWriter decides how and where the payload is physically written.
- The same ResultsWriter XML generation mechanism is therefore used for both XML file and MSSQL outputs.
10. Increased revision
- Updated revision to 3.9.3145.100.
