Enabling a Buffer Using Selected Features From the Layer

For the layer node, define the IBI$BUFFER and IBI$BUFFERINDEX attributes.

For example:

<layer allowselect="false" layerid="2" name="xxxx" sampledata="true" shape="polygon">
  <attribute attributename="IBI$BUFFER" esri_precision="0" esri_quote="" 
  esri_size="10" esri_type="8" focusfieldformat="D10.0" id="bufferattb1"/>
  <attribute attributename="IBI$BUFFERINDEX" esri_precision="0"
  esri_quote="" esri_size="10" esri_type="8" focusfieldformat="D10.0"
  id="bufferattb2" />
</layer>

For the inbound layer under the FEX node, use the IBI$BUFFER and IBI$BUFFERINDEX attributes.

For example:

<inbound>
  <layer attributename="BEAT" bufferunits="" distance=""esri_precision="0" 
  esri_quote="'" esri_size="4" esri_type="12"  filename="BEATLIST0"
  focusfieldformat="A4" focuswhereformat="ampstring" layerid="2"
  selectiontype="respectall" symbolid="selectMapPolygon" />	
  <layer attributename="BEAT,IBI$BUFFER,IBI$BUFFERINDEX" bufferunits=""
  distance=""         esri_precision="0" esri_quote="'" esri_size="4"
  esri_type="12" filename="BEATLIST" focusfieldformat="A4"
  focuswhereformat="ampstring" layerid="2" selectiontype="respectall"
  symbolid="" bufferSymbols="symBuffSym1,symBuffSym2,symBuffSym3"/>
</inbound>
