For something as simple as this, the new xml stage is not needed...this is very simple. A few more things you might want to consider: 1). Go back and do the import for the tabledef again. Avoid "auto-check". Instead check ONLY the innermost attributes and elements of the tree when it is fu...

Check the details of your OMD.xml. Depending on how you have the machines configured (hostname, ds project name, etc.), you may need to run the xml ascii files thru a script that changes the project name or host name for where the jobs are stored on your independent metadata server (from the host an...

Are you using 8.7 and the Metadata Asset Manager? .....it will import the same model again, using the same options and properties, and will properly identify what objects have been updated, which ones are new, which ones have been deleted, and will perform updates as needed.

It's hard to say.... I've seen strange errors like this when I royally screwed something up (not saying that you have :) ) like put the wrong argument in, accidentally had 9 different keys (repetition elements) or other such non-sense. A couple of things to check.... -be sure that you have said &quo...

This might be worth running past customer support directly....I seem to recall that there were some very particular issues with some Stage types, but I don't remember the details. Such issues tend to be fairly specific, like tablenames with certain characters or something. Check all the basics: a) h...

hahahahahahaha! That is too funny. We're pulling from rdbms, creating xml and then giving it to INFA? The two ETL tools can read .csv files with column headings on the first line without even blinking. Why bother with xsd's, xml, and the overhead that all of that entails for planning, design, as wel...

there's another question.....who needs an xsd? Not xmlOutput. xmlOutput doesn't care whether you have an xsd or not ...just that you have xpath (the newer xml stage is a whole other story and I defer to our other posters for their good advice)... for xmlOutput, just start building xpath in the Descr...

Start by playing with the xmlOutput Stage. Take the xml that you have shown us above, save it into a disk file, and then use the xml metadata importer to bring it in and select the lowest level check boxes for each of the elements specified under <customer data>. PUt that tabledef on the input link ...

The best way I can think of at the moment would be to use JavaPack....first seeing if you are able to write an entirely stand-alone java class that can authenticate in the desired fashion and successfully call your web service...then integrate that class with the JavaPack API.
