Re: [Servingxml-help] Transformation on Flat files

[Daniel P. <dan...@sy...>]

Hello Bala,

Currently, flat to flat transformation as shown in the examples does not 
support transformations other than with a Java record filter.  An 
alternative option would be to use the record mapping to XML followed by an 
inverse record mapping to flat, which would work, but might be a little 
excessive for the purpose at hand.  It is, however, relatively easy to add a 
new element, say sx:changeRecordFilter, which would allow you to do these 
things simply.  I'll put out a new release in about a week with the new 
element.  The element could also be made available as a patch to your 
exisiting release.

If possible, it would be appreciated if you could provide a simple example 
with an original and target flat file, to test that the element covers off 
all your cases.

Regards,
Daniel Parker
