Testing an XMap - Tips

Use the following tips to help you validate and test an XMap more effectively.

Set the XMap as the startup component.: A Data Processor transformation can contain multiple components to process data. Each component might contain other components. Even if there is only one component, you must identify that the component is the entry point for the transformation. If you do not select a startup component, the Data Processor transformation will not run correctly. To select a startup component, define the XMap as a startup component when you create the XMap, or select the startup component on the
Overview
tab.
Find a root element in a schema.: You can use pattern searching to search for a root element. To find a match to any number of characters in a string, enter
*<string>
. To match a single character, enter
?<character>
.
Select an example source.: You can change the example source to test the XMap at any time. You can test any example source with the same XML hierarchy as the input schema.
