Here i have created Job to get data from server and display in ax. When we get data from server then the data will be on Xml format to read data from xml we have to create XElement and read data from xml file and display on ax.

To read data and get data from server i have created demo example to understand easily. Create job and Copy below code to get data from Yahoo server and display it on the Information log in ax.

Code:-

Static void weatherForecast(Args _args)
{
  XmlDocument         doc = new XmlDocument();
  XmlNamespaceManager ns;
  XmlNodeList         nodes,nodes1;
  XmlNode                node,node1;
  //AddressZipCode     addresszipCode;
  container day(str _day)
  {
  ;
    switch(_day)
    {
      case'Mon' : return [1,'Monday'];
      case'Tue' : return [2,'Tuesday'];
      case'Wed' : return [3,'Wednesday'];
      case'Thu' : return [4,'Thursday'];
      case'Fri' : return [5,'Friday'];
      case'Sat' : return [6,'Saturday'];
      case'Sun' : return [7,'Sunday'];
      Default : returnconnull();
    }
  }
  ;
  //addresszipCode = _args.record();
  doc.Load("http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=INXX0001&u=c" );// +addresszipCode.ZipCode +’&u=c’);
  // Setup namespace manager for XPath
  ns = new XmlNamespaceManager(doc.nameTable());
  ns.AddNamespace("yweather", "http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0");
  nodes1 = doc.SelectNodes("//rss/channel/item/yweather:condition", ns);
  node1= nodes1.nextNode();
  setprefix("Weather forecast");
  //info(strFmt("%1,Temp : %2,%3", node1.attributes().getNamedItem("date").InnerText(), node1.attributes().getNamedItem("temp").InnerText(), node1.attributes().getNamedItem("text").InnerText()));
  // Getforecast with XPath
  nodes = doc.SelectNodes("//rss/channel/item/yweather:forecast", ns);
  node = nodes.nextNode();
  //setprefix("Weather forecast");
  while(node)
  {
    info("—————————————————–");
    //info(conpeek(day(node.attributes().getNamedItem("day").InnerText()),2));
    //info(node.attributes().getNamedItem("date").InnerText());
    info(strFmt("%1-(%2)", conpeek(day(node.attributes().getNamedItem("day").InnerText()),2), node.attributes().getNamedItem("date").InnerText()));
    info("—————————————————–");
    info( node.attributes().getNamedItem("text").InnerText());
    info('Min :'+node.attributes().getNamedItem("low").InnerText());
    info('Max :'+node.attributes().getNamedItem("high").InnerText());
    if(dayofwk(today()) ==conpeek(day(node.attributes().getNamedItem("day").InnerText()),1))
    {
      info('Current :' +node.attributes().getNamedItem("code").InnerText());
    }
    else
    {
      info('Current : NA');
    }
    node = nodes.nextNode();
  }
}
