XML Output Error

Hi all,

 

I'm using the XML Output workflow to produce an XML file. I have a dataset that has over 20 millions records prior to exporting it to an XML file. It runs the workflow and produces a the file, but once I click on the file I get the attached error.

 

 

I attached the sample workflow as well, any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks!

Are you using the xml macro from community? that really needs to be fixed. It does not replace xml escape characters.

@apathetichell  Yes I am, is there a workaround to the macro?

Maybe - tbh - it really depends upon the xml you are generating - and the ingestion system you are sending to. At it's easiest if you replace the excape characters prior to your xml generation (

CharEscape String
<&lt;
>&gt;
"&quot;
'&apos;
&&amp;

 

and make sure you don't double replace the & symbol it may work.
