MarkLogic Connection

Once you configure a MarkLogic connection, you can use the Data Source Explorer view to display all the application servers configured on the server. You can expand each application server and view all the modules that it is configured to use. The Data Source Explorer view allows you to open and edit these modules.

Note: To browse modules located in a database, directory properties must be associated with them. These directory properties are generated automatically if the directory creation property of the database is set to automatic. In case this property is set to manual or manual-enforced, add the directory properties of the modules manually, using the XQuery function xdmp:directory-create().

Manually Adding Directory Properties

For two documents with the /code/modules/main.xqy and /code/modules/imports/import.xqy IDs, run this query: (xdmp:directory-create('/code/modules/'), xdmp:directory-create('/code/modules/imports/')).

For further information about directory properties go to: http://blakeley.com/blogofile/2012/03/19/directory-assistance/

When you execute or debug XQuery files opened from this view, the imported modules are better identified by the MarkLogic server. In a module, you are also able to add breakpoints that the debugger takes into account.

Note: Add breakpoints in the modules of the application server that executes the debugging.

Note: Open XQuery modules from the application server involved in the debugging or execution process.

In the Requests container of each application server Oxygen XML Developer presents both the queries stopped for debugging and the queries that are still running.

MarkLogic Connection in Data Source Explorer

To manage resources for a MarkLogic database through WebDAV, configure a WebDAV URL in the MarkLogic connection.

The following actions are available in the contextual menu of the WebDAV connection:

connection level actions:
- Configure Database Sources... - opens the Data Sources preferences page. Here you can configure both data sources and connections;
- New Folder... - creates a new folder on the server;
- Import Files... - allows you to add a new file on the server;
- Refresh - performs a refresh of the connection;
- Find/Replace in Files... - Allows you to find and replace text in multiple files from the server.

folder level actions:
- New File - creates a new file on the server in the current folder;
- New Folder... - creates a new folder on the server;
- Import Folders... - imports folders on the server;
- Import Files - allows you to add a new file on the server in the current folder;
- Cut - removes the current selection and places it in the clipboard;
- Copy - copies the current selection;
- Rename - allows you to change the name of the selected folder;
- Delete - removes the selected folder;
- Refresh - refreshes the sub-tree of the selected node;
- Find/Replace in Files... - Allows you to find and replace text in multiple files from the server.
file level actions:
- Open - Allows you to open the selected file in the editor.
- Cut - removes the current selection and places it in the clipboard;
- Copy - copies the current selection;
