DataTransform Optional String. The name of the XSL file to apply to the incoming XML data.
OtherFlags Optional Long. A bit mask which specifies other behaviors associated with importing from XML. The following table describes the behavior that results from specific values; values can be added to specify a combination of behaviors.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Overwrite The import file silently overwrites the target should it already exist. |
| 2 | Don't create structure By default, new structures are created. If Overwrite is not set, an alert asks the user for permission to overwrite. |
| 4 | Don't import data By default, data is imported when a data document is used to create a schema. |
