Mashables : Connect Information Sources as Mashables : Register XML Mashables
Register XML Mashables
You can register any well-formed XML file as a mashable information source. This creates a snapshot of the data in Presto. If you update the data in the XML file, you must reregister it to Presto to make those updates accessible in Presto.
1. Select Connect > XML in the Presto Hub main menu.
2. Enter a unique Name for this mashable information source. Presto uses this name to assign a unique ID. For more information, see What are valid artifact names and IDs?.
3. Enter the location of the XML file or click Browse to find the file in your computer or on a network drive.
4. Add metadata for this mashable, such as a description or category. For more information, see Descriptions, Providers, Categories and Tags for Artifacts external.
5. If this XML file is accessed via HTTP and requires authentication information when you run it, choose the Security Profile to use for authentication and complete the fields for this profile. See Mashable Authentication with Security Profiles for details.
6. Click Register.
Presto retrieves a snapshot of the XML file, registers the data as the mashable and turns this mashable information source on (by default). Then, either:
*Grant permissions to run this mashable to other users and groups:
*Choose the mashble-wide Service >> mashable name permissions section to grant run permissions to all operations. Or expand a specific Operation >> operation name section to grant run permissions for just that operation.
*Find Users and Groups for Permissions or Choose Presto Built-In Groups for Permissions.
*Click on a user or group in the Search result list to add them to the list of Principals with permissions.
*Save the permissions once the list is complete.
*Or skip permissions for now and click Finish.
To allow other users to work with this mashable, you must grant run permissions at a later time.
Note:  
Some groups or users may already be listed as Principals with permissions. These users and groups have been defined by a Presto administrator to grant permission automatically. See Automatically Grant Run Permissions to Users and Groups for instructions.
You can open the artifact page for this new mashable to run the mashable, add views, take snapshots, create basic apps based on this mashable, edit the mashable, turn it off or grant permissions to other users to work with it.
