If you have the XML stages then you have the documents.

Exactly. Look for the 'XML PACK' pdf documentation in your Docs directory. Also go to Kim Duke's website and download the XML Best Practices document that is in his Tips section.

Sounds like what you are missing are the XPath Expressions that drive the XML parsing. Read the docs.

Craig is right. To install the samples and look at their details helps very well to understand the way XML and DataStage work.

[eostic]

The XML stages are fairly well documented, and the Best Practices is a DO NOT MISS document.

In addition, many of us also frequent the IBM DeveloperWorks site....I recently put an entry there that also might help you...check out the XBRL thread at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/forum ... orumID=825

Ok, it can't find your files because you've entered the values wrong. The Folder pathname should just be "C:\xml" and then your Wildcard pattern should be "*.xml".

Give that a shot.

Thanks.I didnt get your comment exatly.

Actually all my XML files are keeping at the loction C:\xml_data\

So that i given C:\xml_data\*.xml [Folder path ]\[wild card to fetch the xml file]Any thing wrong with this path.Please help me out.

[chulett]

You said both paths, I picked one.

Stage / Properties / Folder pathname: C:\xml_data

Outputs / Properties / Wildcard: *.xml
