Not really, at least not "out of the box". Ken Bland did write a series of interesting utilities that (amongst other things) could do this for you based on a wildcard pattern. I *think* it may have been posted here, once upon a time but don't recall for certain. The answer could also depen...

How are you trying to accomplish this? Regardless, you need to build a process to read them out of the log tables and then store them in your archive of choice, be that flat files or database tables or what have you. You'll find lots of posts on this subject and "ETLStats" will come up in ...

Roll your eyes all you like, that *is* your answer. Search the forum for "dssh" to find examples how to fire that Universe query from the command line, the exact same query you would use at a TCL prompt or from the Administrator client. And don't forget you can always use the Director for ...

First suggestion - the Sequential File stage is not a good choice for XML. Use an External Source stage to get the XML filename(s) and then let the XML Input stage do the actual reading of the file as outlined here.
