Outcome Message XML
The XML in the Outcome Message column of the Outcome table can consist of data from a number of different Detect sources. At a minimum it contains a text message that a user typed in the text box when an Action component was created. It can also contain data from the Profile feed file, data from Containers, data from Select functions, and data from Join functions, causing the XML to become quite complex.
The message that was typed in the text box is "this message includes the sum of the values in the All Transactions container and the value in the zipcode field on the Customer Profile data source". The Action component also included the noted values as part of the outcome.
The XML in the Outcome Message appears as follows:
<OUTPUT>
<TEXT>
this message includes the sum of the values in the All Transactions container
and the value in the zipcode field on the Customer Profile data source:
</TEXT>
<CONTAINER name="All Transactions" function="SUM">
125
</CONTAINER>
<DATASOURCE name="Customer Profile" field="zipcode">
11746
</DATASOURCE>
</OUTPUT>
