Yes... I recall this from when ISD first came out. The technology changed in subtle, yet "deep" architectural ways. It's been awhile, but as I recall, the wsdl generation is now done via strict WAS standards (as is everything, thus we have things like the formal deployment of the EAR) wher...

Hard to say exactly, but it looks like you don't have two separate chunks...you have two files that have a very definite relationship.....do "perils" rows "belong" (are subordinate to, are the child of) line-of-business? If so, then "join" the two....get a set of rows w...

Call your support provider. I have heard of some patches in this regard related to false positives. No way to tell for sure if that is your issue, but it might be. Some other things to look at are: a) Oracle Connector vs Oracle OCI or other Oracle Stage. If Connector, do you also have a formal "...

another way might be to retrieve the entire marks_num_info element as a chunk. Have a single column on the output for that chunk, called "entire_marks_info" with a varchar and some length, and then give it an xpath in the output link of /DETAIL/MARKS_NUM_INFO/ Now that whole chunk will be ...

You have some reading to do. Look around thru the forum here for the XML Best Practices ...it is at Kim Duke's site -- you will find the link in many entries. That document reviews how to combine multiple "types" into a single document that has independent nodes.

Effectively it's the same. QualityStage is QualityStage. When Ascential was first acquired, the WebSphere branding was attached, but since then, the InfoSphere brand has been established for Information Server and it's components, and other Information Management offerings.

I've been with a lot of sites who are committing lots of resources to BG and WB. I don't like the words "Corporate Metadata tool" because they have other far reaching connotations, but these sites are very committed to getting ROI from the two tools (and their related infrastructure and ev...

Here are a few to consider... Multiple input links to a single Connector, such as DB2. That's a biggie, allowing me to do single connections with multiple SQL statements and one unit of work. A nice way of doing something that has been in Server for a long time. The new XMLStage. Lots of info on tha...

For the benefit of future readers, I may not have been explicit enough --- worst case you just create a fake column called "myID" and put the value "X" into it (in an upstream transformer), and then follow the instructions above. I'll assume that's what you did. ; )

One thing to do is step back and ask "why?" One of the greatest things about xml is that the tags mean that you can add or remove elements and the sending and receiving applications DON'T have to care. They only read "what they need". This is especially true when there isn't any ...
