Question

A question about XML in appian

Hi, I have a question, a problem, they are asking me to do some tests with an XML, I have my instance in Appian and the client tells me that when they download an xml it does not let them open the xml in their browser, is there any relation with appian? or is it a configuration of the client's equipment.

Thanks!

That should not have anything to do with Appian.  Can they open the XML file in another tool such as Notepad++?

    Yes, in fact that happens only on the client computer, on my laptop at work I can run the xml fine, and in notepad++ the same. I'm sure it's a permissions problem or something on their client computer.

    Appian code objects are saved as XML files.  SAIL, for instance, takes the form of XML with the expression code inside.  If you disabled XML being run on your browser, I bet that would shut down Appian altogether (along with many other things).
