Special Value | CxBlank processing | Partial | Depending on the specific data handler used, the XML connector does not send values in the document that correspond to attributes with a CxBlank value. |
| CxIgnore processing | Partial | Attributes in a request object that have a CxIgnore value are not included in the XML document to be sent to the URL (this is based on the XML Data Handler only; other data handlers may have different rules). |
