Parsing XML data into the source structure is relatively easy because XML already has a tree structure. The parser only has to be told which tags in the XML document correspond to the nodes in the source structure.

(1) If this checkbox is set, the input fields are checked against the format templates of the fields during parsing. If a value violates the format template of the field or exceeds the field length, an error is generated. If an error occurs, the profile will not be aborted immediately, but only at the end of phase 2 or after 50 errors. Attention: The use of format checking puts a strain on performance and should only be used if absolutely necessary.

(2) Specifies whether the min/max settings (of fields and nodes) in the source structure should be checked.

(3) Linebreaks and tabs in text elements are replaced with blanks.

(4) Any namespace prefixes that may exist are ignored for all elements of the XML document.

(5) Specifies the tag name (element) below which you want to parse. An entry must be made here, even if the entire XML structure is to be parsed. If you want to parse a partial document, it must also conform to the XML convention (well-formed). Note: See also sections Effect of an Entry in Field 'XML tag for record' and XML Parser V4.

(6) Specifies the version of the parser. New profiles should always use version V3 or if licensed, version V4. The entries V1 and V2 are only available for reasons of compatibility of existing profiles.
