The following two examples will show the use of the two mentioned templates.

The goal of the two examples is always the same: Building catalog structure = Setting import path for the item.

You will see that the approach is different in the two examples but the result is the same.

If there’s a choice always work with pdmProxyPdmDocumentI (example 1), because the values in there can be stored in a XML file. This XML file can be taken as input for a new pipeline. The other approach is not persistent. It can not be saved in any file. If an error occurs in the pipeline / program, the data is lost.

The explanation of both options is given just for the sake of completeness.
