Hi, I need help in processing 1 input xml request into multiple XML request using WTX. Pls. note that in the example below, the ACTIONTIMESTAMP AND ACTION are in pairs and can occur 1 to n times:
e.g. Input:
<REQUEST>
<VERSION>1.0</VERSION>
<TIMESTAMP>2001-03-17-15:00:30PM</TIMESTAMP>
<ACTIONTIMESTAMP>2001-03-17-15:00:30PM</ACTIONTIMESTAMP>
<ACTION>SALESREPORT</ACTION>
<ACTIONTIMESTAMP>2001-03-17-15:00:30PM</ACTIONTIMESTAMP>
<ACTIONREQUEST>SALESDISCOUNTREPORT</ACTIONREQUEST>
</REQUEST>

TRANSFORMED OUTPUT REQUEST:
<REQUEST>
<VERSION>1.0</VERSION>
<TIMESTAMP>2001-03-17-15:00:30PM</TIMESTAMP>
<ACTIONTIMESTAMP>2001-03-17-15:00:30PM</ACTIONTIMESTAMP>
<ACTIONREQUEST>SALESREPORT</ACTIONREQUEST>
</REQUEST>

<REQUEST>
<VERSION>1.0</VERSION>
<TIMESTAMP>2001-03-17-15:00:30PM</TIMESTAMP>
<ACTIONTIMESTAMP>2001-03-17-15:00:30PM</ACTIONTIMESTAMP>
<ACTIONREQUEST>SALESDISCOUNTREPORT</ACTIONREQUEST>
</REQUEST>

Any help is highly appreciated. Pls. give example of MAP files and the related type trees on how to do this. Thanks.

Hi,
you can use Clone function in WTX in order to achieve this.

group (s)= Clone(request, 3) , Here request is your data/Request and 3 is number of messages you want make/sent/generate.

When you clone function make sure your output group should be a (s) range.

Hope this helps you out.

The issue here is the number of desired request is not fixed, it can be 1, 2, 3 or more, depending on the original request. Also when you clone it, it is just repeating the original request, correct ? Going back to the repeating item in the request, we need to make 1 request for each repeating item which has a different value:

Original request:
<REQUEST>
<VERSION>1.0</VERSION>
<TIMESTAMP>2001-03-17-15:00:30PM</TIMESTAMP>
<ACTIONTIMESTAMP>2001-03-17-15:00:30PM</ACTIONTIMESTAMP>
<ACTIONREQUEST>SALESREPORT</ACTIONREQUEST>
<ACTIONTIMESTAMP>2001-03-17-15:00:30PM</ACTIONTIMESTAMP>
<ACTIONREQUEST>SALESDISCOUNTREPORT</ACTIONREQUEST>
</REQUEST>

Desired output:
<REQUEST>
<VERSION>1.0</VERSION>
<TIMESTAMP>2001-03-17-15:00:30PM</TIMESTAMP>
<ACTIONTIMESTAMP>2001-03-17-15:00:30PM</ACTIONTIMESTAMP>
<ACTIONREQUEST*>SALESREPORT</ACTIONREQUEST>
</REQUEST>

<REQUEST>
<VERSION>1.0</VERSION>
<TIMESTAMP>2001-03-17-15:00:30PM</TIMESTAMP>
<ACTIONTIMESTAMP>2001-03-17-15:00:30PM</ACTIONTIMESTAMP>
<ACTIONREQUEST>SALESDISCOUNTREPORT</ACTIONREQUEST>
</REQUEST>

Also, regarding your solution group (s)= Clone(request, 3), where do I put this, in the output typetree, or in the outputcard ? I will try that solution as well for now. Thanks.
