Repository.XFRACAS.ImportXFRACASXMLString

Member of: SynthesisAPI9.Repository

Uploads an XML string to XFRACAS for processing. Returns an Integer that represents the import file's system ID.

You must have admin privileges in the XFRACAS entity in order to import data into it. In addition, the XML file must use the XFRACAS format in order to be successfully imported. The XFRACAS9/10 Import Business Logic (PDF) document provides a complete description of the format.

Once the XML file has been uploaded for processing, use the ProcessXfracasImports method to process the XML file.

  Dim xmlString As String = Nothing
  ... 


 'Import the XML string into XFRACAS entity ID# 1.
