Is it possible to use System Search property in another System Search?
I am using the System Search utility to pull a value from a XML file and I'd like to use that value as the basis for another System Search in the same file. Is it possible to do this? I've tried using the [PROPERTY] but it just comes up blank.
So, first system search XPath config:
/DATASuite/Connection/DefaultPlant
Value of Attribute: Name
Property: DEFAULTPLANTNAME
In the second search,
/DATASuite/Connection/Site/Site[@Name=[DEFAULTPLANTNAME]]
Value of Attribute: Connection
Property: DEFAULTCONNECTIONSTRING
Any ideas on how to make this work?

After sleeping on the issue, I guess the question should be, does the XML appsearch resolve the property string in the XPATH? I am beginning to think it does not. I guess I'll have to take it up with Flexera...
