XSLT Builder

Overview

The XSLT Builder application is used to help you build mapping documents. As there is a lot of data moved between different systems in Zynk, we typically use XSLT to map data from one system to another.

Settings

Zynk

  • Zynk Data Path The path to where your Zynk data is stored, this is typically C:\ProgramData\Zynk Software\Zynk\2.0.

View

  • View You can alter the view based on the data your are outputting from your XSLT document. This will typically be XML, but you can also view CSV and HTML documents from within the XSLT Builder.
    • XML
    • CSV
    • HTML

CSV View

  • Separator Character The character you use to separate your CSV output.
  • Delimiter Character The character you use to delimit your CSV output.

File Associations

You can optionally enable the following associations with the XSLT Builder application.

  • Zynk XSLT Builder Project (.zxb) Enabled by default
  • eXtensible Markup Language (.xml)
  • eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transform (.xslt)

SSL/TLS Settings

You can optionally enable the following SSL/TLS versions with the XSLT Builder application.

  • SSL 3 Enabled by default
  • TLS 1.0 Enabled by default
  • TLS 1.1 Enabled by default
  • TLS 1.2 Enabled by default
  • TLS 1.3

Templates

We provide a series of templates with the XSLT Builder to familiarise you with the language and common practises we use. For example, we have a set of XSLT functions that we use with Zynk, so there are templates showing how to use these.

  • XSLT Builder Templates A list of sample mappings.
  • Function Templates A list of sample mappings showing how to use the XSLT functions we've built into Zynk.
  • Auto Mappers A list of mappings we provide out of the box between different systems. These can still be edited to meet your specific requirements.

Projects

Within the XSLT Builder application, we have a concept of 'Projects'. A project consists of an input file, an XSLT document and an output file.

You can create an XSLT Builder project yourself by loading in an input, an XSLT file and saving the output file, or alternatively, you can load a project from an existing workflow by going to Open -> Project from Workflow.

Zynk Workflow

If you have the XSLT Builder extension installed, when you edit an XSLT file in Zynk (via the XSLT task or the Auto Mapper task) this application will be launched. You can optionally disable this feature in Tools -> Options -> Display.
