  Using Core Activities
Adding an XPath Namespace Definition
An XML namespace provides a way to avoid element and attribute name conflicts within an XML 
document. An XML namespace is uniquely identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and is 
assigned a prefix (unique to the XML document) used for its element and attribute names.
To add an XPath namespace:
Step 1
In the Process Editor, choose Toolbox > Core Activities > XPath Query, then drag and drop the activity 
onto the Workflow pane.
Step 2
Choose the XPath Query tab, then choose Namespaces > New.
Step 3
In the XPath Namespace Definition dialog, enter the prefix and URI for the new namespace, then click 
OK.
Create Automation 
Summary
Generate an automation summary including data selected activities in a 
process. To generate the data output, choose the activity, then specify the 
section in the automation summary in which to output the data.
An automation summary is a collection of data summarizing the objects 
included in the process and the data retrieved by the processing of the of 
the objects. 
The share path specified in the Core Functions Adapter properties will be 
used when viewing the automation summary reports. 
Find Targets
Among other use cases supported by this activity, you can find targets 
whose properties have certain values.
Insert Event
Define the configuration properties to be used to insert one event into 
Process Orchestrator Reporting Database. 
Publish Metric
Define the performance metric properties to be published into the Process 
Orchestrator Reporting Database and the Windows Management 
Instrumentation (WMI) provider.
The metrics are published under the root\TEO name space through the 
WMI class, TEO_PerformanceMetric.
XPath Query
XPath queries navigate through XML documents and search through the 
document nodes. Use the XPath Query dialog box to enter the XPath 
properties to query from the source XML code.
