Title: Add field to AG via ARSXML
Post by: jsquizz on March 13, 2017, 11:55:27 AM

Greetings all,

I am trying to add some a new field to an Application Group via ARSXML. A field that has a database value / displayed value (Trying to add a dropdown to a folder, without having to use the admin client..)

Is this possible to do? I've tried several scenarios and cannot get it to work.

Thanks in advance

You tried the escape charaters? 

Code: [Select]

& # 47 ;  - remove the spaces.

Thanks for the quick response. A bit confused at what you're asking. Can you possibly clarify a bit?

thanks.

If I understand correctly you want to put the character '/' in a field name.   Replace the / with &# 47; (again remove the space).  That should work.

Here is what I am trying to do, again sorry for any confusion.

I have an application group with a field defined. Under mapping I have four "dropdowns.." setup (4 displayed values each with their database values..)

I want to add additional displayed values / db values to this field.

Is this possible with ARSXML?

Sorry, haven't tried that but it should be available.   What I recommend is create a test AG with two or three of the values that you want in the dropbox using the admin GUI, then use ARSXML to unload/extract that AG.  I would then either mock up the extract file to match your requirements or use it as a guide to see how to define the fields.

Thanks Nolan.

I was able to accomplish this. What I did was quite simple and has a great amount of portability. I dissected the ondemand.xsd file, and played with it a few times until I got the results that I wanted.
