Yeah....hard to say. Namespaces can be very confusing. Technically speaking, those sub-elements are "in" that particular namespace....but I'm not sure what it (xslt, what the stage is using under the covers) does with the xpath in this particular case. I usually figure out what is needed a...

Not sure why you received the ??? ...that's one I haven't seen before. I'd have to try it.

....but in the meantime just edit them out of the Description and try it. It will probably work just fine.

I didn't have time to look thru yours, but compare to my source code at www.dsrealtime.com (go to the table of contents...scroll to find some posts on java, and then download the code that is there -- it isn't named "java" [I think it had to be uploaded there as "pdf", so you wil...

It depends....are each of those independent nodes repeating on their own? If so, then it's no different than reading multiple relational tables and making decisions on how they should be combined downstream. Grab your common "keys", whatever they are (higher level node element and attribut...

It's by design, Ray (the "all must be approved before publish" issue)....so we have to deal with it for now...though I agree with your sentiment.

I haven't tried it, but "in theory" I suspect it will work, using the xmlInput Stage....of course, the details of namespaces and elements/attributes will have to be fully populated on each of the output links, and you won't be able to send the details down the "same" link, even i...

This assumes that these two Jobs are indeed designed to be "always on".....not every ISD enabled Job will be "running".....if it begins with an ISDInput Stage, then yes, it should end up running. ...check again the deployments and the log, as suggested by other posters. ...what i...

There are several ways you can approach this.... The first is to try and find an element at the lowest level (the lowest level for which you want "rows" retrieved for each repeating element) that is not optional..... ...but if there isn't one, work with the setting called "Repetition ...

As Ray notes in another thread, you use a bridge to bring in Cognos metadata. Via the Import/Export Manager, or via the InfoSphere Metadata Asset Manager if this is 8.7.

Sounds like a perfectly normal message --- it possibly has nothing to do with the queue......but it could be getting truncated or something. Do this: Write the single message from the MQ Connector to a Sequential Stage. Use Format options of Delimiter=NONE and Quote Character= NONE. Be sure that you...
