Hello, I'm not quite sure what the URL_XML in FM is supposed to do.  I have been given the task of trying to get it to return data.  I have followed the instructions in the documentation to set it up.   But when I go to FM database view and test the XML_URL i get no data available.  I'm not quite sure what this xml data source is connecting to since its not a table.  Can someone please help me figure out this URL_XML thing out?

What should return when I test it out besides no data available.

Thank you

Hello anybody...

when I run the build.bat it creates a file DSServlet.class.  I'm trying to figure out what should be in this file.  Just trying to figure out if there should be more than 4 lines of code in that file.

Also when I run the url_xml in FM I get no data available... Does this usually mean there is an error in my DSServlet.java since in the catch section it says "no data available"?

thanks

It sounds like you are trying to build the audit package.

From memory, I recall that URL_XML calls a web service (submits a URL which returns data) which lists all report names. So yes, make sure that your Java class is working OK.

It's a long time since I implemented this package but I did get it to work.
