This section explains the format of the XML files used when performing operations related to the information kept by Cloud Services Management.
In this section, element names and the contents of element in XML files are described as follows:
<Elementname>Element value</Elementname> <Elementname Attribute1="Attribute 1" Attribute2="Attribute 2">Element value</Elementname>
Use any text editor to edit XML files.
The character code of the XML files must be UTF-8.
In XML conventions, line breaks and blanks are recognized as data. Therefore, do not insert any unnecessary line breaks or blank spaces when modifying an XML file.
In the table explained by this section, "can be omitted" refers to when there are no corresponding XML elements or attributes. When XML elements and attributes are omitted during modification, the values of the elements and attributes from before execution of the command are retained.
In addition, in this section, multiple resources can be specified at the same time during addition. Except for accounting codes, only one resource can be specified during modification.
Note
Elements and attributes that are not used in standard XML are not read.
If an XML tag is written which contains no attributes, an empty element, for example, <comment/>, must be specified instead of an end tag.
According to XML conventions, specify the following escape characters:
Specified Character | Escape |
< | < |
> | > |
& | & |
" | " |
