# XMLOutputPath

The path and file name of the file(s) to save the output to.

Specify an absolute path, or a path relative to the Media Server executable file.

IMPORTANT: You can use macros to create output paths. If you have configured Media Server to save pre-XML files (by setting the parameter SavePreXML to `TRUE`), include the macro `%segment.type%` in the path. This macro resolves to either `Pre` or `Post`, and allows you to distinguish between the different types of output.

Media Server must be permitted to write to the path that you specify (see AllowedEngineOutputDirectories).
