I'm using the XQuery mapper and I'd like to map 4 files to output 1 xml. Each input file is a customer master file from a different division without our company. Is it possible to use a single map or do I have to create 4 individual maps?

Hi Chris,

The XQuery mapping tool can handle many to one mapping.Here few question to better understand your requirements

- A) Do you need to merge the data from these input into one file?
In this case simply add all files to one mapping

- B) Does each file need to generate its own output?
--- B.1) Do they have the same XML structure?
--- Create one mapping with a single file which is representative of all your inputs then run the same mapping on each file.

Does it help?

Sorry if I'm being vague. Note the element name differences between the inputs. So I guess I'm looking to concatenate them.

Input

<file1>
<entry>
<Address1>123 main</Address1>
</entry>
</file1>

<file2>
<entry>
<Addr1>456 main</Addr1>
</entry>
</file2>

output

<target>
<AddressEntry>
<AddressLine1>123 main</AddressLine1>
</AddressEntry>
<AddressEntry>
<AddressLine1>456 main</AddressLine1>
</AddressEntry>
</target>

Your inputs have different structure, I suggest building a separate map for each input.

man... i don't know what's up with these multiple posts. I was using Chrome, thinking that might have been it, but then I switched to FF and it continues to happen.

That makes sense, Ivan. Then once I have all 4 xml files in the same structure, what strategy could I use to concatenate them?
