Change Node Action
The Change Node action replaces the value of an xml node found using an XPath expression. The node can be an attribute or an element. To use this action you provide a path to an existing Xml Document by selecting from a list of known folders on the client target and then providing a sub path and file name.
You then provide an XPath expression to identify the node that you want to change. If more than one node matches the XPath expression, you can choose one of five actions:
You provide the new node text and nodes are changed based on the setting above.

The action backs up the Xml file then changes the Xml node text, performing the operation as defined by the action properties.
Cleanup Stage
Removes the backup file created during the execute stage.
Rollback Stage
Restores the xml file with the file backed up in the execute stage.
