getting repeated values in xml

Hi,

I have a job where my o/p is xml and i/p is dataset.

My problem is in dataset the data is correct but in xml for single tag values are repeating.

Example:

In i/p for a column "name" the data is "not_ready".

But for name the o/p i'm getting :
<name>
<Value>not_ready not_ready</Value>
</name>

So what could be the problem.Can anyone help on this.

Thanks!

Post your XPath expressions. Do you have any of them marked as a Key field? Also curious, did you create the XPath expressions by hand or did you import the metadata for them from an xsd and let the tool generate them for you?

Hi,

I have created the expressions manually.
The path i have used is
/AmazonEnvelope/Message/Item/name/Value/text()

Some of the values are not repeating some of them are repeating.
Can you please tell me what would be the problem
Thanks!

Unless you are very familiar with how this all works, I'd suggest you not manually create the expressions. Let the tool do it for you.

Do you have an .xsd for this? That would be best but you can use a sample of the output file as well. Use the Manager to import that metadata and see what it generates in the way of XPath expressions for it.
