xml simple transformation

dmi — Thu, 21 Jul 2016 06:45:24 GMT

Hello

I have to read an xml file and transform it.

I've created a simple transformation and it works fine.

Now I get the problem, the xml file looks not always the same,

some nodes exists sometimes, somethimes not.

If a node is missing, my simple transformation fails with the message "Node xx expected"

Is there a way to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance

Daniel

Hi,

Can you consider to use conditionals, e.g. assertions?

An assertion can be used to assign a value to a data node without the node being filled by the inbound stream.

Hi Horst

Thanks for your help, now it works.

<tt:d-cond> in front of the node who can be missing

Best regard
