XML Data Adapter Reference Guide

Chapter 5 – Using the Adapter

Use the XML Data adapter to process and convert XML data for use in maps.

Adapter Scenarios

When using the XML Data adapter, the -URL adapter command is specified using

the same methods as other adapter commands. That is:

♦ after selecting XML as the source of an input card

♦ after selecting XML as the target for an output card

♦ in a map rule

♦ in execution settings defined in the Integration Flow Designer

♦ in a command string on the command line

The syntax for the

-URL adapter command is the uniform resource locator (URL)

of the host server and XML file to be used. The URL can be in the form of an:

♦ FTP

♦ HTTP

♦ FILE

For example:

FTP://

guest

anonymous@tiberius:8080

catforms

catform3.xml

-or-

HTTP://

tiberius.net

forms.xml

-or-

FILE://c:/

allforms

myform.xml

(for Windows)

FILE:///

usr

mercator

data.txt

(for UNIX)

Note The XML Data adapter requires that you specify absolute file paths.
