Transform Actions

Transform actions are actions that manipulate data. The action can be as simple as renaming a file or as complex as using an XSLT stylesheet to transform XML into BarTender XML (BTXML).

Action

Description

Search and Replace

Searches for text or characters in a specified source and replaces it with the provided content.

Search and Insert Before

Searches for text or characters in a specified source and inserts the provided content directly before it.

Search and Insert After

Insert Before Start of Source Text

Opens a specified source and inserts the provided text or characters at the beginning of the source text.

Insert After End of Source Text

Transform Text to Record Set

Transforms an identified source of text into a record set for a specified database.

Transform XML using XSLT

Uses an XSLT stylesheet to transform another application's output XML from its original XML format into another XML format. The reformatted XML is then placed into an output variable.

Oracle WMS and MSCA Print Request to BTXML

Transforms Oracle Warehouse Management Solution (WMS) and Mobile Supply Chain Applications (MSCA) print requests into BarTender XML (BTXML). The action places the BTXML script into an output variable that can then be sent to BarTender by using the Print BTXML Script action.

SAP AII To BTXML

Transforms a SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure (AII) data packet into BTXML. The action places the BTXML script into an output variable that can then be sent to BarTender by using the Print BTXML Script action.

BTXML Print Response to IBM WebSphere Sensor Events

Transforms the print result of a BTXML script into the format that an IBM WebSphere Sensor Event web server can accept. The result is saved in a variable that can then be uploaded by a Send Web Service Request action.

IBM WebSphere Sensor Events to BTXML

Transforms the sensor event's generated XML print request into BTXML. The action places the BTXML script into an output variable which can then be sent to BarTender using the Print BTXML Script action.

IBM WebSphere Sensor Events to BTXML with Print Status

Transforms the sensor event's generated XML print request into BTXML when used with a sensor event that specifies a bidirectional printing interface so that once the job is complete, the job status can be reported back to the calling application. The action places the BTXML script into an output variable which can then be sent to BarTender using the Print BTXML Script action. After the action is complete, the print status can be transformed by a BTXML Print Response to IBM WebSphere Sensor Events action and returned by a Send Web Service Request action.
