IDataCollectorSet::SetXml method (pla.h)

Article
02/22/2024

Sets the property values of those properties included in the XML.

Syntax

HRESULT SetXml(
  [in]  BSTR      xml,
  [out] IValueMap **validation
);

Parameters

[in] xml

XML that contains the properties to set. For details on specifying the XML string, see the Remarks section of IDataCollectorSet.

[out] validation

An IValueMap interface that you use to retrieve the validation error of each property whose value is not valid. The IValueMap::Count property is zero if there were no errors.

Return value

Returns S_OK if the method call was successful. You must check the value map for errors. If the method returns S_OK and there are no validation errors, then the set was successfully initialized.

Remarks

If the XML syntax is valid, this API will return S_OK, even if one or more properties are not valid. Those properties whose values are valid are set. Those properties whose values are not valid are set to their default value.

To determine the errors that occurred, retrieve the IValueMapItem interface for each error. The IValueMapItem::Key property contains the XPath of the element in error (for example, /AlertDataCollector/TaskArguments), the IValueMapItem::Value property contains the HRESULT associated with the error, and the IValueMapItem::Description property contains the message text associated with the error.

Typically, any errors that occur will be one of the following HRESULT values.

Error	Description
PLA_S_PROPERTY_IGNORED	PLA ignored the property element because the data collector does not contain the specified property.
PLA_E_PROPERTY_CONFLICT	The property conflicts with another property, for example, both LogAppend and LogCircular are VARIANT_TRUE.
