How to Create an XML file in X++ d365fo

Creating an XML file in X++ involves several steps, including creating an XML document, adding elements, and saving it to a file. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this in Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations (D365 FO):

Here is a sample code to demonstrate these steps:

internal final class CreateXMLFile

{  

   public static void main(Args _args)

   {

   FileIoPermission permission;

   XMLDocument xmlDoc = XMLDocument::newBlank();

   XMLNode rootNode;

   XMLNode nodeEmpl, nodeName, nodeAddr;

   XMLElement xmlElement;

   XMLText xmlText;

   HCMWorker HCMWorker; 

   permission= new FileIoPermission('C:\\Employee_Details.xml','w');

   permission.assert();

   xmlDoc = XMLDocument::newBlank(); 

   // Create first line containing version info

   rootNode = xmlDoc.documentElement();

   xmlElement = xmlDoc.createElement('EmployeeList');

   rootNode = xmlDoc.appendChild(xmlElement); 

   while select HCMWorker

   { 

      // Create a node for the Employee record

      xmlElement = xmlDoc.createElement('Employee');

      nodeEmpl = rootNode.appendChild(xmlElement);

 

      // Create a node for the name

      xmlElement = xmlDoc.createElement('EmplName');

      nodeName = NodeEmpl.appendChild(xmlElement);

      xmlText =xmlDoc.createTextNode(HCMWorker.Name());

      NodeName.appendChild(xmlText);

 

      // Create a node for the address

      xmlElement = xmlDoc.createElement('EmplEmail');

      nodeAddr = NodeEmpl.appendChild(xmlElement);

      xmlText =xmlDoc.createTextNode(HCMWorker.email());

      NodeAddr.appendChild(xmlText);

   } 

   // Save the file

   xmldoc.save(''C:\\Employee_Details.xml'); 

  }

} 

XmlDocument: This is used to create a new blank XML document.

XmlElement: Represents elements in the XML document. You can create elements and append them to other elements.

XmlText: Represents text content within an element.

TextIO: Used to write the XML document to a file. Ensure that the file path is accessible and writable.

File Path: Make sure the specified file path (C:\\Temp\\SampleXmlFile.xml) exists or change it to a suitable location.

Permissions: Ensure that the application has the necessary permissions to write to the file system.

Environment: This code is designed for Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations and should be run within the X++ environment.

Run the Job: Execute the job in Visual Studio to generate the XML file.

Verify the Output: Navigate to the file location and open the XML file to verify its structure and content.

By following these steps, you can create and manipulate XML files using X++ in Dynamics 365 FO. If you have any specific requirements or need further customization, feel free to ask!
