Not knowing what you can do in iWay, from a text perspective, you could initiate some sort of global change.

In Unix and Windows (if installed), things like the sed command can do this.

Hi,

I don't know if this is the exactly for you but you might try to define XDXMLExtract Service (com.ibi.agents.XDXMLExtract). It allows you to use XPATH expression to locate your element (for example < Header >) and then to define optional name for the root of the extracted subtree (like < Hdr >)

Otherwise... why not to use transform?

Regards,
Rivo

Ray,

1. Create an XML file listener.
2. Create an XML to XML Transform. Use the file you wish to modify as the input dictionary and data. Use the same file as the output dictionary. Use "Automap" to map the input to Output. In the Output column right click on the "Header" element. Rename it to "Hdr".
3. Create a process flow with your transform followed by a file(write) object.
4. Create your channel using all those elements.

I am not sure of your level of knowledge so I do not know if this is too high level, or too detailed.

Let me know if you have any questions.

can not use transform. the xml coming in will not always be the same Structure. The only thing that will always be there is the the parent tag </Header> witch needs to get rename because it is now a researved word in Unix.

Is this < header > root tag for your xml document?

I ay this jokingly, but it is shades of truth. "Your requirements are wrong". Why does it have to be in iWay?

To me it looks like what you are trying to do is better suited to an OS tool instead of a iWay. In my experience iWay does not handle variablity of this sort with ease. I notice your signature says you are in Windows. If you can wait until the file would be on the UNIX platform SED or AWK would be the ticket.

Otherwise maybe RivoU suggestion of XMLXDextract shold be investigated.

I've used XDXMLExtract before to rename a node. However, I don't think it would work in this case. The service will only bring back the node specified and all child nodes, not sibling nodes. I have an open case on this issue Ray, I'll let you know when I hear back.

OK.. maybe not the most elegant solution but does the job...

1) Start
2) Service objects
*Service Object 1:com.ibi.agents.XDXMLExtract
XPath Expression: /document/header/*
Root tag: hdr
*Service Object 2:com.ibi.agents.XDXMLExtract
XPath Expression: //document/detail
Root tag: body
*Service object 3:com.ibi.agents.XDXMLExtract
XPath Expression: /document/footer/
Root tag:
3)Join Object, to merge 3 parts into 1 doc
4) Service object: com.ibi.agents.XDEntagAgent
*Tag Name = document
*Base 64 Encoding = false
5)End

input doc
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
  <document>
  <header>
  <test1>testhead</test1> 
  </header>
  <detail>
  <nr>1</nr> 
  </detail>
  <detail>
  <nr>2</nr> 
  </detail>
  <detail>
  <nr>3</nr> 
  </detail>
  <detail>
  <nr>4</nr> 
  </detail>
  <footer>
  <test1>testfoot</test1> 
  </footer>
  </document>



and output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
 <document>
 <Join joins="3" relations="3">
 <body>
 <detail>
 <nr>1</nr> 
 </detail>
 <detail>
 <nr>2</nr> 
 </detail>
 <detail>
 <nr>3</nr> 
 </detail>
 <detail>
 <nr>4</nr> 
 </detail>
 </body>
 <hdr>
  <test1>testhead</test1> 
 </hdr>
 <footer>
  <test1>testfoot</test1> 
 </footer>
 </Join>
 </document>


I try to figure out something better also...
