OLAP Miner User's Guide
OLAP Miner uses XML (extensible markup language) files to configure the
client and the server. This section describes some guidelines about
editing XML files. This document is not meant to be an exhaustive
description of XML.
You can use any text editor or most XML editors to edit an XML
configuration file.
- Restriction:
- Do not use the LPEX editor for OLAP Miner configuration files. LPEX
adds an illegal end-of-file character to XML files.
Use the following guidelines when you edit XML files:
- Ensure that you specify the xml version on the first line of the
file. The first line of the file cannot be empty.
- Elements in XML are case sensitive. For example,
<Para< and <para< are two different
elements.
- All elements that are not empty require start and end tags except
<?.
- Empty elements (elements with no start tags and end tags) must have a
forward slash before the greater-than sign. Example:
<port value = "1976"/>.
- Always use double or single quotation marks around attribute names.
- Tags must be correctly nested: close first what you opened
last. Example: write tags like this
<I><B>test</B></I>, not like this
<I><B>test</I>></B>.
- You cannot use the following symbols in an XML document:
- < (use < instead)
- > (use > instead)
- & (use & instead)
- ' (use ' instead)
- " (use " instead)
