Hi Holger, Because that buffer is your final XML destination, it doesn't get written to until your <xmltask> invocation completes (unlike if it was a copy/cut destination).
So a separate <print> appears to work: <target name="main"> <xmltask destbuffer="esbcglobalsetup"> <insert path="/">..... </xmltask> <xmltask sourcebuffer="esbcglobalsetup" destbuffer="esbcglobalsetup"> ..... </xmltask> <xmltask> <print buffer="esbcglobalsetup"/> </xmltask> </target> Which is a little counterintuitive, I appreciate...
