Hi Everyone

I need to access XML files but I am very new to XML stage. My problem is whenever i try to import the metadata from XML meta data importer. I am unable to see the unix directories. by default it is showing windows directories. but my DataStage server configured in UNIX. All my source XML files are in UNIX only. plz help me on this.

The Manager is a Client tool and so can only 'see' local files on your PC. The solution is simple - transfer the files to your PC first.

If manager is a client tool then why it showing the unix directories when i was accessing flat files why not XML files.

[sigh] Because that particular function is built to connect to the same server your Project resides on. The XML Meta Data Importer is a separate client tool the Manager spawns which only has connectivity to your local PC.

Or, if you can find a syntax that works, there is the 'Open From the Web' file option. I've tried various versions of "file://server/dir/file.xsd" with no luck. Found it easiest to just transfer it to my PC first.
