Create a custom named query

Open XoomCustom.xml in a text editor such as Notepad++.

Add to it a new <xpi:query> element, with the attribute name="Logic Settings".

<xpi:query name="Logic Settings">
</xpi:query>

This element corresponds with the root element of the XoomXML.

Add a filter that will extract all Objectives.

Here is an extract of XoomXML containing just a single Objective: the _Pre-SOT - Enhanced Priority Objective.

There are four levels to the structure of XoomXML, namely: root, type, item and parameter.

In this example:

Root is <Configuration>.
Type is <Objective> (highlighted in yellow).
Item is also <Objective> (highlighted in orange). Everything below that is a parameter.

Here, type and item elements are the same, so a single <Objective/> element in the query will tell Xoom to retrieve everything beneath the type element (the yellow <Objective>), and will therefore extract all Objectives. We can add this to our new query.

<xpi:query name="Logic Settings">
  <Objective/>
</xpi:query>

Note: we recommend that you order the terms of your query alphabetically.

Add a filter that will extract all Rules.

If we look at Rules in XoomXML, we can see that the structure is similar to Objectives, as above. Type and item elements are the same and thus a single <Rule/> in the query will extract all Rules.

Adding this to the query gives us:

<xpi:query name="Logic Settings">
  <Objective/>
  <Rule/>
</xpi:query>

Add a filter that will extract all Background Optimizations.

Background Optimization is a little more complicated because it is one of many Settings. If we simply added a <Setting/> element to our query, we would extract all Settings, not just Background Optimizations. A <Setting/> element in the query would, for example, retrieve, the following Workflow Agent (amongst others).

<Setting>
    <Setting xoom:id="Setting[[Application]|Agent|Workflow Agent|Alert Jeopardy Task is not scheduled and the Appointment Finish is approaching]">
      <Owner>[Application]</Owner>
      <Category>Agent</Category>
      <SubCategory>Workflow Agent</SubCategory>
      <Name>Alert Jeopardy Task is not scheduled and the Appointment Finish is approaching</Name>
      <Body>
        <WorkflowAgent>
          <Steps>
…

We need to find a determining node that will locate only Background Optimizations and no other settings. If we look at the relevant part of the XoomXML, we can see that the defining node for Background Optimizations is the subnode <Category/> (highlighted in orange).

We need, therefore, to match this structure – Setting/Setting/Category – in the query as follows:

<xpi:query name="Logic Settings">
  <Objective/>
  <Rule/>
  <Setting>
    <Setting>
      <Category>Background Optimization</Category>
    </Setting>
  </Setting>
</xpi:query>

This will retrieve every Background Optimization but no other Settings.

The same is true of Decompositions and Logic Domains: their defining nodes are to be found below the item level, by a similarly nested <Category/> element. Adding these in gives us:

<xpi:query name="Logic Settings">
    <Objective/>
    <Rule/>
    <Setting>
      <Setting>
        <Category>Background Optimization</Category>
      </Setting>
      <Setting>
        <Category>Decomposition</Category>
      </Setting>
      <Setting>
        <Category>Logic Domains</Category>
      </Setting>
    </Setting>
  </xpi:query>

Now we have all the necessary terms in our query.

Save this new version of the file as XoomCustom.xml in the Xoom folder, replacing the old.

The Xoom folder can be found here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Zany Ants\Xoom

Open Xoom Explorer and create a new connection to the Xoom server.

The new query can be found in the Queries menu.
