create_inportxml: Create all XML files for direct upload of metadata to InPort.

In andybeet/InportXML: Easily Create InPort XML Metadata

Description

This function calls both create_itemxml and create_entityxml functions (internal) to generate two separate XML files. As InPort is currently configured, the two XML files must be uploaded in separate steps, and both are necessary for successful upload.

Usage

create_inportxml(inFile, outPath = getwd(), outFile)

Arguments

inFile	The full path to the metadata template (unless in current working directory) (e.g. "Master_Template.xlsx").
outPath	The path to the directory where output file should be saved. Default(current working directory)
outFile	An identifying name for output files (e.g. "CHL_metadata_V1.xml".)

Value

Nothing

Two XML files are created; one for the master XML and one for Entity XML. The filenames will be concatenated with "master_" and "entity_" and saved in directory specified by outPath

Please note

The Master_Template.xlsx file is part of the package. It is installed wherever your packages get installed on your computer. To find where packages are installed on your machine, type .libPaths() on the commad line. Navigate to this folder to find inportxml and then copy this file into your current working directory.

Alternatively you can run the function copy_master_to_wd. The copying will be done automatically for you.

Examples

## Not run: 
#Be sure that inFile refers to the full path of the metadata template unless it is saved in your current working directory.
create_inportxml(inFile = "Master_Template.xlsx", outPath = paste(getwd(),"/output"), outFile = "X_metadata_V1.xml")
This assumes that Master_Template.xlsx resides in your current working directory. Two files are created:
 (master_X_metadata_V1.xml and entity_X_metadata_V1.xml) in the folder called "output" in your current working directory.

## End(Not run)
