Please close the other duplicate thread.

I have not used on windows, but directory separator might be the issue here. Are you sure the file is present in the mentioned directory.

Don't use the Sequential Stage to read your xml documents.

sorry...read that too quickly. haven't had my coffee this morning. Check your security for that sub-directory and also look at the encoding. I had a strange one like this recently and when I removed the entire encoding attribute (where it has UTF-8 or similar), it worked.

Hi

Thanks that resolved my problem in accessing xml file but now I am not able to read more than 1 file in a single run.

I have selected the option in external source is

Source Method = Specific programs
Source program= ls E:\ EMP*.xml

I want to read all the xml files that start with EMP in a single run, Can anyone help me if this is possible

Yes, that should work just fine. Is your XML Input stage setup to take that filename column as the URL/File path to read the files from?

The second person personal pronoun in English is spelled "you", not "u".
There is no word "plz" in English - I suspect you mean "please".
