# tExtractXMLField Standard properties These properties are used to configure tExtractXMLField running in the Standard Job framework. The Standard tExtractXMLField component belongs to the Processing and the XML families. The component in this framework is available in all Talend products. ## Basic settings | Properties | Description | | --- | --- | | Property type |

Either Built-In or Repository.

Click Edit schema to make changes to the schema. If the current schema is of the Repository type, three options are available:
- View schema: choose this option to view the schema only.
- Change to built-in property: choose this option to change the schema to Built-in for local changes.
- Update repository connection: choose this option to change the schema stored in the repository and decide whether to propagate the changes to all the Jobs upon completion.
  
  If you just want to propagate the changes to the current Job, you can select No upon completion and choose this schema metadata again in the Repository Content window.
Built-In: No property data stored centrally.
Repository: Select the repository file where the properties are stored.

When this file is selected, the fields that follow are pre-filled in using fetched data.

| | Schema type and Edit
Schema |

A schema is a row description. It defines the number of fields (columns) to be processed and passed on to the next component. When you create a Spark Job, avoid the reserved word line when naming the fields.
Built-In: You create and store the schema locally for this component only.
Repository: You have already created the schema and stored it in the Repository. You can reuse it in various projects and Job designs.

| | XML field | Name of the XML field to be processed. | | Loop XPath query | Node of the XML tree, which the loop is based on. | | Mapping | Column: reflects the schema as
defined by the Schema type field.

XPath Query: Enter the fields to be
extracted from the structured input.

Get nodes: Select this check box to
recuperate the XML content of all current nodes specified in the
Xpath query list or select the
check box next to specific XML nodes to recuperate only the content
of the selected nodes. | | Limit | Maximum number of rows to be processed. If Limit is 0, no rows are
read or processed. | | Die on error | Select the checkbox to stop the execution of the Job when an error
occurs.

Clear the checkbox to skip any rows on error and complete the process for
error-free rows. When errors are skipped, you can collect the rows on error using a Row > Reject link. | ## Advanced settings | Properties | Description | | --- | --- | | Ignore the namespaces | Select this check box to ignore namespaces when reading and
extracting the XML data. | | tStatCatcher Statistics | Select this check box to gather the Job processing metadata at a Job
level as well as at each component level. | ## Global Variables | Variables | Description | | --- | --- | | Global Variables | ERROR\_MESSAGE: the error message generated by the
component when an error occurs. This is an After variable and it returns a string. This
variable functions only if the Die on error checkbox is
cleared, if the component has this checkbox.

NB\_LINE:
the number of rows processed. This is an After variable and it returns an integer.

A Flow variable functions during the execution of a component
while an After variable functions after the execution of the component.

To fill up a field or expression with a variable, press Ctrl+Space to access the variable list and choose the variable to use from
it.
