Reading an xml file as a String

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a file to file scenaio in which i have a Outbound data type that has only a single string field named Data.

I have an xml file as input whose structure is not fixed.

My input xml file should be read like a blob data through this single field.

Is this possible in XI?

AFAIK a xml file will be read only if the outboundDT if of the same structure of the XML.

Please send in ur suggestions as to how this could be acomplished in XI.

Hi,

This can be easily done by using xsl mapping.

Using this mapping method, all we need to know, would be the root node of the source, after which a xsl:copyof() can be used to copy the entire source payload.

Hi,

If your requirement is to just FTP the file please look at this blog:
