Re: [Servingxml-help] Flat file structure validation

Yes, in record mapping sections you can define groupings based on the =
previous, current, and next records, check out any of the examples using =
sx:innerGroup.  The case below is no problem, I may use it in as example =
in the element reference. =20

  Thanks Daniel. This is helpful.=20
  Another question on the same file structure.

  It looks like serving xml processes one record (using onRecord) at a =
time. Can I have control over 2 record at a time while converting flat =
file to xml.  I want to convert the below flat file as follows. =
Essentially I want to put one field from E record and one field from S =
record into <group1>. So while processing E record, I need information =
from the next record also.=20

  E1001FIELD0
  S1001FIELD1FIELD2
  E1002FIELDA
  S1002FIELDBFIELDC

  TO

  <record fileno=3D1001>
      <group1>
              <a>FIELD0</a>=20
               <b>FIELD2</b>
      </group1>
       <group2>
               <c>FIELD1</c>
        </group2>
   </record>

    Hello Ravi,

    I think you'd have to transform the flat file to XML and express the =
rules in an XML Schema, using the msv:schemaValidator (previously =
msv:msvFilter) to validate the XML.  Alternatively, you could write a =
custom record filter in Java, and buffer enough records until you could =
determine whether they were valid, and discard them or throw an =
exception if you find an error.  But other than that, the tool doesn't =

individual records.

    Best regards,

      Hi

      I am trying to use servingxml to validate and transform flat files =
to xml. I am wondering if this toolkit can help validate the flat file =
which looks as follows:

      Every row is a record with position #1 as record type. Position =
#2-5 as filenumber and the rest as misc fields. I want to validate that =
for every filenumber, there exists atleast 1 E record followed by 0 or =
more S records.=20

      E1001FIELD0
      S1001FIELD1FIELD2
      S1001FIELD3FIELD4
      E1002FIELDA
      S1002FIELDBFIELDC

      Thanks
      Ravi
