This feature would help to avoid re-writing the file containing the XML script every time with different values. Any thing enclosed in between two â %â characters in the XML file is considered as a variable. <BR />In the example XML script below, %username%, %loginname% and %password% are variables.<BR /><BR /><!-- Add user with minimal privileges to test default setting of assigned privileges to 'N' --><BR /><RIBCL version="1.2"><BR /> <LOGIN user_login="x" password="x"><BR /> <USER_INFO mode="write"><BR /><ADD_USER user_name="%username%" user_login="%loginname%" password="%password%"><BR /> <RESET_SERVER_PRIV value="Y"></RESET_SERVER_PRIV><BR /><ADMIN_PRIV value="Y"></ADMIN_PRIV><BR /> </ADD_USER><BR /> </USER_INFO><BR /> </LOGIN><BR /></RIBCL><BR /><BR />Values for these variables can be specified at execution time using â substituteâ option. The argument to the option must be a string of variable name and value pairs separated by delimiter â ,â (comma).
