Lazoโs idea about xslt is great, especially if you are familiar with xslt.
Iโve been doing a lot of this type of pipeline lately lately, and have tried a couple of approaches. In addition to xslt, using a mapper or multiple mappers between your sql and the xml works well, especially if you are not familiar with xslt. This is the beauty of snaplogic after allโฆ no (low) code.
Here is a view of a simple example of: oracle select> map values> format xml> write xml file to sftp.
If I understand what you mean by the header information, I think you could solve for that within your mappings. Iโve built a few other pipelines where I hardcode values for the xml, maybe that is a solution for you right in the mappers.
For example, this is a mapping to a web service (soap/xml message)
I hope this information is helpful to you, good luck.
Hi,
Herewith attached is an example about converting data to XML XML_XSLT_example_2020_09_24.slp (4.7 KB) .
You can also find attached XSD and XSLT files that are used in the pipeline (xsd_example.xml.txt (660 Bytes) xslt_example.xslt.txt (506 Bytes)). Note: Please remove extra txt extension which was added in order to be able attaching of files.
In the example I also use fixed value just to see how you can simple set static values.
The pipeline starts with JSON Generator which will be a snap for querying data from DB. The JSON object that will be generated is:
and after applying XSLT the output file will be:
I hope this will be useful to understand concept of using XML and XSLT.
BR,
Lazo
Thanks Lazo. I needed this info.
Another question on thisโฆ
In the XML Generator is there an example on how to use root and xpath?
