Difference between "iwov" and "xml"

amalia

I was working with the templating.cgf file and in the "<data-type name="Sociedad" dcr-type="iwov">..." section, when I was writting "xml" instead of "iwov" as a dcr-type, it doesn't let me save the new data record.
Is that means that to make the categories available to use TeamSite Templating needs to be "iwov"??
And in the same file, in the section below:
"<locations>
<branch vpath-regex=".*" />
</locations>".....
What happens if I writte the path where I have created the Workarea, will work too? I thought that I should writte in the file the path of the workareas I'm creating to know to which path I have to refers the DCR's that I can use.

An "iwov" data type produces DCR's whose XML elements are <item> and <value>. Its DCT is as described in manuals.

An "xml" data type produces DCR's whose XML elements are whatever you want them to be. Its DCT is very complex, and you probably need to use the iwdtd2sym CLT to help you write that DCT.

If you still don't understand the above, then probably you should always use dcr-type="iwov".

Hope this helps.
