Info*Engine Objects
An Info*Engine group can contain one or more objects. In the XML document, each object is identified by the <wc:INSTANCE> start tag and </wc:INSTANCE> end tag. Objects can contain zero or more attributes, where each attribute can contain data. Each Info*Engine attribute corresponds to a XML sub-element that appears within the wc:INSTANCE element.
For example, assume that the following XML document represents a single Info*Engine group delimited by the <EMP> and </EMP> tags, which contains a single object. The object is delimited by the <wc:INSTANCE> and </wc:INSTANCE> tags:
<wc:COLLECTION xmlns:wc="http://www.ptc.com/infoengine/1.0">
<EMP NAME="empGrp" TYPE="Object" STATUS="0">
<wc:INSTANCE>
<EMPNO>7934</EMPNO>
<ENAME>MILLER</ENAME>
<JOB>CLERK</JOB>
<MGR>7782</MGR>
<HIREDATE>1982-01-23 00:00:00.0</HIREDATE>
<SAL>1300</SAL>
<COMM/>
<DEPTNO>10</DEPTNO>
</wc:INSTANCE>
</EMP>
</wc:COLLECTION">
In the example, you can see the sub-element tags for the Info*Engine attributes and can determine that the object has the following attributes:
EMPNO
ENAME
JOB
MGR
HIREDATE
SAL
COMM
DEPTNO
