DocumentID will become empty once we remove , and tag using XSLT mapper

Legacy Contributor

Hi,

I want to create a file as Customer<InvoiceNo>.xml. <InvoiceNo> is coming from the File Template. In order to set the file name using input document's tag, I generated MetaData of that file template using <InvoiceNo>. With [SyncDocumentName]>, <DataArea> and <[DocumentName] tags the file generated as <InvoiceNo>.xml correctly. But as a project requirement I removed [SyncDocumentName]>, <DataArea> and <[DocumentName] which are automatically generated from ION. Then the [DocumentID] became empty and file name is also Customer.xml. Therefore is there way to create file name with <InvoiceNo> which is coming from the file template that I set inside that file connection point.

Also I have used Document option because I have removed these tags [SyncDocumentName]>, <DataArea> and <[DocumentName] in input BOD. For File format Template option requires above tags therefore output file will not anyway be generated.

Any help will be much appreciated

Thanks

Hi,

 

This is quite confusing. Correct me if i am wrong, i may be barking up the wrong tree.

1) you have defined a file template for your XML invoice and set up documentID to be <InvoiceNo> tag, something like this :

 

2) When generating metadata, we can check noun properties tab in the data catalog :

The documentID path is underlined in yellow and has nothing to do with <SyncGnagnagna> or <DataArea> or whatever tag of a custom BOD.

 

3) Connection point (destination folder) - chose "File format template" to get rid of all these unwanted tags of the custom BOD (created by ION for transportation purposes)

 

4) Data flow, basics - designed a simple data flow to send an XML file from a folder to another. 

 

5) Test

When droping an XML file in the "from" folder where <InvoiceNo> tag equals 123456 (= documentID)...

 

... i get this result in the "to" folder 

 

Is that what you need ?
