Re: Comparison of nodes minus a child node

Hi Matt,

you don't need to wonder by such a frequently use of '//'. The transformer
has to test all descendants, not only the childs, if they are matching.
Imagine you have your 80.000 hierarchy-elements with all 7 childs -> 640.000
elements. And all of them the processor has to test whether they are
mathcing 'ListofHierarchies'.

Try to replace all '//' with a single slash '/'. The first few ones
($VAR/ListofHierarchies/Hierarchy) should cause no errors, because this is
exactly the xml-structure. At the other ones I would write exactly the
xml-structure too. NEVER use '//', especially in such huge files.

Hope this helps to get the time back to 5 min ;-)
