Trying to include element in an xml which already contains data. The File needs to be processed part of a ssis package to bring in information on the server. Example of the xml file structure - I have included a subset of the xml where I am facing issue -
<ReportA>
<Header>
<Area>M</Area>
</Header>
<Year>2024</Year>
<Type>A</Type>
<Category>
</Category>
</ReportA>
Using SSIS data flow task to read the XML it does not read the below, because it not nested with an element tag (minus the root element) 2024 A
Happy to share more information.
Expect all information to be read including Year and Type to make the data that already exists available to bring on the server
Update - Tried the below XSLT transformation to debug the structure and extract the Year information
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" encoding="UTF-8" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="ReportA">
<xsl:text>Found ReportA element. </xsl:text>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="ReportA/Year">
<xsl:text>Found Year element as a direct child of ReportA. </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="ReportA/Year"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text>No Year element found as a direct child of ReportA. </xsl:text>
<error>No Year element found as a direct child of ReportA</error>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text>No ReportA element found. </xsl:text>
<error>No ReportA element found</error>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
