More about Parse XML rules

Where referenced

Parse XML rules are frequently used with Web service s and so are often referenced in Connect SOAP, Connect dotNet, Service SOAP, and Service dotNet rules. However, you can reference Parse XML rules in other types of service and connector rules.

To execute a Parse XML rule in an activity, use the Apply-Parse-XML method.

Namespace

Although the first key part of this rule is known as the Namespace , it does not conform to any official XML namespace, but serves a similar function, to partition the set of possible parsing rules to avoid accidental name collisions.

Monitoring performance

Through changes to the prconfig.xml file or Dynamic System Settings, you can be alerted to unusually long Parse XML executions as PEGA0011 alerts.
