XML generator is adding additional tags called ShredderDocuments in TDM

Products

• CA Test Data Manager (Data Finder / Grid Tools)

Issue/Introduction

For all the XML’s that are getting generated from TDM we see the below tags printed in the XML which is not used for our execution. For that we must remove the tag either manually or using some commands before executing the actual jobs. 

So is there any way to exclude these tags for the XML file generated from TDM ?

<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF-8” standalone=”no”?>

<ShredderDocuments>

        ............

</ ShredderDocuments>

 

 

Environment

TDM: All versions

Resolution

Update below properties in catdmshredder.properties file located at C:\Program Files\CA\CA Test Data Manager Portal\conf folder and restart the TDM portal service to achieve the functionality

 

xml_skip_root_tag_single_file=true  // This property is to skip the root tag called ShredderDocuments
exportxmldata_needxmldeclaration=false   // This property is to skip the xml declaration tag. By default this property is set to false.
