loadXmlFile in AC

[vendimb15716755]

HI

I am trying to load data from an XML file to a custom Schema created on the campaign. the file will come everyday so I will do an incremental load. the file is around 200 MB . with that says what are the options? when I use the file load task on the workflow seems like not mapping it correctly and I dont see that its build for xml ( looks like only Flat files and csv) unless I am missing something?

Also I looked at the js Api documentation and there is loadXmlFile(filename [, noErr ]) function .

anyone can give me a suggestions?

below is a sample xml that I will be loading

Hi Vendim,

I'm pasting here the last DM I shared in case it can be used by other members:

So the loadXmlFile function is deprecated. You can use instead the load (DOMDocument) function (which contains a basic example in the JSAPI documentation) and combine with other reading functions such as getElements and getValue.

For example, for an XML file containing products like this:

<product>

  <name>abc</name>

  <code>123</code>

</product>

You can start using something like this in a JS activity:

var doc = DOMDocument.load("data/test.xml");

var products = doc.root.getElements("product");

for (var i=0; i<product.length; i++) {

var product = products[i];

var name = product.getValue("name");

var code = product.getValue("code");

}

I don't have much JS knowledge but starting from this you should be able to apply the processing you want on the data, for example to transform the XML in a more readable format. After the JS activity you could use a data loading (file) activity and then update the database.
