Let's stick to the initial thread, because now it is clear that it may have nothing to do with XML per se.......

For "one" (or each one) of those links coming from your XMLInput Stage ....when going DIRECTLY to a sequential file, do you have this column "mix up" issue?

As Craig notes, please show us the xpath that you are using (what is in the Description property for these columns). You should see something like: /[the parent elements...]/info/text() /[the parent elements...]/ad1/text() And then review carefully a few other things: a) how are you reading in the x...

Fantastic is a relative term. I have a variety of reasons why I do think this was a positive development, but "just because" is not one of them. Just curious, why do you think it was fantastic?

I've been told by various dedicated experts of the rdbms databases that we support (db2, oracle, etc.) that the rdbms' themselves have algorithms that are smart enough to do a degree of caching, but in Server there is nothing in particular that keeps the Stage from going back to the database each ti...

Get an "on the wire" capture of the SOAP envelope for this Web Service (hopefully you have a test tool like soapbox or soapscope or xmlspy or any of many tools available on the web for testing web services). Take a close look at it. XML "is" character. It's rare that it isn't, an...

I've never tried cut/paste in here, so apologies in advance if this entry gets all screwed up...thoughts below... (The good thing about being the Content Editor - I went back to your post and inserted a few "Quotes" to make your responses stand out better! - Andy) 1) Regardless of array / ...

The "provider" has to dictate that their service sends back an array, and that same "provider" has to generate their WSDL appropriately so that it illustrates that an array is being sent..... ....then, secondly..... you have to deal with it yourself inside of DataStage, because W...

Hard to say exactly...usually if the xsd cannot be found you will simply get a warning message, not an abort. At the very least, isolate it and be sure your retrieval logic works...... a) be sure you don't have "validate" checked. It will look for the xsd anyway, but it's possible that opt...

Not worth it......too many things to consider for maintaining the "always on" scenario required to bypass the start up time, not to mention all of the underlying work that is done to handle SOAP envelopes, produce WSDL, etc........ An alternative though, would be to simulate some of what I...

Hi dlai74... Very eloquent description of what RTI does for 7.5 and what ISD does for v8! RTI, which has been in production since 2002, does exactly this --- gives you the opportunity to re-use logic created for batch purposes as a service for online applications... No sense re-inventing the wheel. ...

Did you write the java class? Do you have a version of it that is not coded for JavaPack, and can run stand-alone? What lstsaur is saying is that you need to get the complete classpath, as you may have ran it externally, or as you needed to include in your IDE when you first compiled the class.........

You have lots of homework and searching to do. Read the document that Craig points to up above. If you are targeting xml, there are lots of examples. Do LOTS of searching here...there are lots of threads on the basics. Read some xml before you try to write any...you will more easily get a good feeli...

If you have 100 of them, it may be simplest just to write a program that creates a reverse-engineered classic .dsx or xml formatted .dsx file. Create a simple DS Table definition and save the .dsx. Open it up. You'll see that, if it's just a Table Definition, the structure is fairly easy to replicat...

In some special circumstances, Server is easier to use than Parallel edition for XML, because of the size and variable nature of XML strings. Server is much more lenient for really long strings (10s of meg) and sometimes, especially when targeting XML, you may need to toss these strings around from ...

Search thru the forum here. Look for references to Kim Duke's web site....there you will find (among other great things) a document that Kim has been keeping warm for everyone --- it's a best practices document for xml. This is a document written many years ago by one of our developers --- it goes i...
