Oracle® Insurance Rules Palette 9.4.0.0 E18894_01

# XML Source Pane

Oracle Insurance applications use a specific custom XML syntax employing elements, attributes and values to define the data in application rules. This pane is used to configure the XML when a visual editor is not available.

Note: Please see the XML Configuration Guide topic in this help system for a list of all elements, attributes and values needed for configuration.

## XML Components

##

## Elements

The first element in an XML structure is the root element, which is usually the name of the rule being configured. All elements come in pairs and consist of a start tag and an end tag. Tags are surrounded by the two characters < and > . These are angle brackets. Every tag can have a value, which is what is listed in between the start and end tag.

## Sub-elements

Any elements that occur prior to the root elements end tag are called child or sub-elements. Child elements have start and end tags and may have children of their own.

## Attributes

Elements can have attributes that further define the data. Attributes are always listed in the start tag. Attributes consist of a name and value, where the value is in all capitals, followed by

an equal sign, and the value is enclosed in quotes.
