You dont have to create XML files to create finder screens. The standard OTM configuration allows you to create those via the UI - I have never worked with a client who has relied on creating XML to create finder screens that can be created using the standard screen set functionality.

The way to attach a screen set (and the related finder screen) to a menu is via the menu configuration (Configuration and Administration > User Configuration > Menu Manager). When the user clicks on the link on the menu it will then bring back your screen set with the associated finder and results screens.

Once again, no need (unless you tell me otherwise) to do this by trying to create the XML and CSV data in the background and load that in to the related database tables. Just do the configuration using the tools that OTM provides you with e.g the standard configuration
