Custom File Formats

CA DataMinder provides built-in support for XLS and CSV download formats (see above), but you can also implement custom formats using Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT).

Note: For full details, see the iConsole Search Definition Guide.

To configure the search definition file and the custom format stylesheet

1. In the custom format stylesheet results-formats-custom.xsl, you need to:
   • Define the custom format you want using an xsl:choose tag.
   • Write a transformation to render the search results to the custom format. Writing such transformations is beyond the scope of this Deployment guide.

   Note: This file is located on the iConsole application server in the \Web\transformations folder. If the file does not already exist, you will need to create it.

2. In the search definition file, reference the custom format using the format attribute in the <results> element.

   <results ... format="$doc:results.txt">
