Loading an XML file to a Datawindow

[Dom71555]

Does anyone have step by step directions, or point me to a place that does, on how to create the datawindow object that will be loaded with an XML file?

So I figured out how to import an XML file. If I import without a template, I will get an error if an xml element is not present in the file.
This can be due to a null value in the element. However, if I use a template, it will import all elements whether they have nulls or not.
I created a template and assigned it to the datawindow object. The command button script sets the datawindow trans object to SQLCA and the following:
dw_1.Modify("DataWindow.Import.XML.UseTemplate = 't_performance_report' ")
dw_1.ImportFile(XML!,"Perf Report 16.18.xml")

When the report is run, nothing is retrieved and the trace file looks like this.

I appreciate any help with this.
