I am shopping for a tool for some Data Migration work and I'd like to ask if anybody out there have any idea if DS can create via a transformation job an XML file from an input of a text file. My target system will only accept as Input an XML file format. Can any of the assential tool do this for me and does anybody have any material or contact that might be of help

You can do this easily with a Server job, using the XMLReader stage.

Yes, you can use DS for creating XML files. Make sure your client's version and DS XML version are same. I had minor issues regarding that.

And a server container too.

XMLReader is available on your DataStage Server/client CD. Help can be found through searching of this forum and within documents on those CDs.

T42 means a shared container, containing server job components (specifically the XMLWriter stage).

Yes, I meant that. But I specified "Server" as there is a Parallel Container option also available.

Or maybe my memory is a bit flaky at the moment...

Both server and parallel jobs have local and shared containers. Is that what you had in mind? For PX refer to page 3-1 of the Parallel Job Developer's Guide.
