Greetings fellow CMOD gurus,
We received a requirement to archive XML files, that consist of information of their customers, from a potential customer. However, we don't know where to start. Knowledge Center isn't exactly very helpful.
The theory that we understand is that these XML files would need to be converted to another XML file that follows CMOD's structure (odxmlidx.xsd). The converter is either XSLT or XQuery. Let's say we want to use XSLT, do we build it based on odxmlidx.xsd?
I understand that we can use Generic indexer with an additional index file. Assuming the customer isn't willing to generate the index file from their end, we would probably need to build an application that reads the XML contents to generate the index file. That would be the last option as we would like to explore what CMOD's XML indexer can do first.
Also, how do we load the XMLs automatically using XML indexer? Just move the transformed XML file into the data load directory? What is the extension/format of the input file? XML or ARD? Or rename the XML file to .OUT, and ARD is just the trigger?
Really really appreciate the help. Thank you in advance.
