XML Parse Tool: Do not pass parsed field

[Marco]

Hello

My problem: I've used the download-tool to download a 40mb XML. Parsing the DonwloadData-field containing this XML results in about 6600 records. The XML-Parse Tool passes the orginal DownloadData field to each record, resulting in quite a bit of memory usage:

XML-Parsing Problem

Suggestion: An option in the XML-parse Tool to not pass the parsed field in its output.

Sorry all, the discussions on this one should be revived. I'll add it to a list to discuss on some upcoming meetings. Thanks for the reminder.

It would be interesting to try this with AMP. All fields >= 32 KB are stored aside and shared between records. If your field is 31 KB that's no help to you, but for the 40 MB field, the "copy" of that data is free. It won't get you to the PetaByte count. It will only count 9 bytes for each copy of the field.

This is still a good option for the tool, just that with AMP it's not so urgent.

This would speed up my workflow significantly.

@Aparker8709 do I have some great news for you! This was released in 2021.4!

What a great reason to update! I'm on 2021.1 but not for much longer!! Thank you!!!

Thank you @Treyson  for updating this thread. 

With Release version 2021.4 and newer, there will be an "Include in Output" checkbox in the XML Parse configuration pane - if you un-check that it will not pass through the parsed field.
