Hi
what exactly validating xml in DataStage means?
How we can achieve this in DataStage[what exactly we hav to do in XML plugin validations?]?

It means the same thing in DataStage that it means outside of it. The Help for that option explains how to set it up, from what I recall.

I agree with Craig and just to add ...

If you have an associated XSD for your XML, you can have the XML stage validate the XML against the XSD file. The syntax to follow is, again as craig mentioned, available via help.

Also refer to this wonderful guide available at Duke's site http://www.duke-consulting.com/Download ... ctices.zip
(Thanks again, Duke)

Another interesting link provided by VMcBurney (Thanks again VMcBurney) to IBM's site is http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/d ... 0703xiong/
and has several XML handling scenarios.

If you run into specific issues, please post back and I am sure a lot of good folks here will readily offer help....

Good luck
