Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development.

or
Contact NCM support.
Possible error:
35. Change detection is enabled but change is not
detected
Common cause:
When the device & NCM support syslog,
- Mismatched ports
- Check NCM syslog server running status in NCM server settings
Possible error:
38. Backup failure
Common causes:
1. Credentials are changed or invalid.
2. Ports blocked or TFTP/SCP server not started
• Check port 69 & 22 (TFTP & SCP) in NCM server settings

SSH, TELNET to SSH - TFTP, SSH - SCP , TELNET -TFTP
depending the devices.
• When SCP/TFTP protocol is used:
• Device vendor supports but NCM device template
doesn’t have upload commands for the specific device.
• Fix: Clone/create a new device template with
suitable SCP/TFTP commands
or Contact NCM support
Possible error:
46. Startup/running sync
• Why is it important?
• Loss of changes made in running
configuration during device reboot
• How NCM helps?

2. Based on the protocol, check the running status of TFTP & SCP
servers in Server Settings.
Possible error:
48. ‘Change happens, but startup-running conflict is not
detected by NCM in real-time.’
Common cause:
Disabled real-time change detection.
Fix:
- Enable change detection if syslog is supported.
