The CA Repository Universal XML Exchange Transformation Utility

The CA Repository Universal XML Exchange Transformation Utility is a component of the CA Repository Universal XML Exchange. It is provided as a tool to assist users in generating and formatting source XML files for input into the scanner. The CA Repository Universal XML Exchange Transformation Utility transforms your input XML file based on the syntax in the XSL stylesheet and creates an output XML file.

You use the CA Repository Universal XML Exchange Transformation Utility when an input XML file does not contain everything that is needed by the scanner. For example, an ID attribute is required by the scanner. If the input XML document does not have an XML attribute defined as ID, then a XSL stylesheet can be created to add an ID attribute. The CA Repository Universal XML Exchange Transformation Utility will execute the transformation and create an output XML file that is understood by the scanner.

The CA Repository Universal XML Exchange Transformation Utility enables you to perform the following tasks:

• Transform your input XML document using an XSL stylesheet. XSL is a language for generating stylesheets for XML documents.
• Create a transformed or updated XML file that you can use as input to the scanner.

Note: All procedures and examples assume that you are familiar with XML.
