| Name | Type | Description |
|-|-|-|
| xPath | String | An xPath-like expression that specifies where in the XMLElement object to start. |
[Tabelle : 1. Parameters]

{#r_XMLEL-getIterator_S__table_atj_pst_st} {#r_XMLEL-getIterator_S__table_btj_pst_st__entry__2}

| Type | Description |
|-|-|
| XMLElementIterator | An object that can be used to iterate over elements in the XMLElement object. |
[Tabelle : 2. Returns]

{#r_XMLEL-getIterator_S__table_btj_pst_st}

## XMLElement - getIteratorOverAllChildren() {#ariaid-title3}

Returns an XMLElementIterator object that includes all sub-elements
for the XML element based on the specified parameter.
{#r_XMLEL-getIterOverAllChild__table_ryr_ltt_st__entry__3}

| Name | Type | Description |
|-|-|-|
| None |   |   |

{#r_XMLEL-getIterOverAllChild__table_ryr_ltt_st} {#r_XMLEL-getIterOverAllChild__table_syr_ltt_st__entry__2}

| Type | Description |
|-|-|
| XMLElementIterator | An object that can be used to iterate over elements in the XMLElement object. |
[Tabelle : 4. Returns]

{#r_XMLEL-getIterOverAllChild__table_syr_ltt_st}

## XMLElement - valueFor(String tableName, String fieldName) {#ariaid-title4}

Specifies that the value of the element maps to the specified field in the specified
table.
Calling this method on an element value tells the proxy that the value for this element
maps to the specified field in the specified table. The proxy then checks if the field must
be encrypted. If the table and field names are unknown, you can call the
valueFor() method on a table and a field that are [dynamically assigned](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/T6uDP8eUQs9E51Y_lePZPg#xml-overview__xml-dynamic)
based on the request.

| Type | Description |
|-|-|
| void |   |

[Encoded query strings](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_EncodedQueryStrings&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-user-interface&ft:locale=en-US) for the specified table. The proxy parses the encoded query and
encrypts the fields in the encoded query that must be encrypted.

| Name | Type | Description |
|-|-|-|
| tableName | String | The table that you expect the query to run on. |
