Data mapping (xml-to-xml) using with Mapforce

[ashok123]

I am using MapForce data mapping tool.

i have below XML data as Source which is having duplicate elements like code, name:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<CustomerDetails xmlns="http://www.tdxgroup.com/namespace"

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.tdxgroup.com/namespace:\TDX\mapforce\example2\Customer1.xsd">



<Customer>

<Code>C001</Code>

<Name>Cust1</Name>

<Phone>88888888</Phone>

</Customer>



<Customer>

<Code>C001</Code>

<Name>Cus1</Name>

<Phone>77777777</Phone>

</Customer>



<Customer>

<Code>C001</Code>

<Name>Cust1</Name>

<Phone>66666666</Phone>

</Customer>



<Customer>

<Code>C002</Code>

<Name>Cust2</Name>

<Phone>55555555</Phone>

</Customer>


<Customer>

<Code>C003</Code>

<Name>Cust3</Name>
<Phone>55555555</Phone>
</Customer>

</CustomerDetails>

This dupication need to be remove from source to target xml as given below Target xml data:

<CustomerDetails xmlns="http://tdxgroup.com/namespace"

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xsi:schemaLocation="http://tdxgroup.com/namespace:\TDX\mapforce\example2\Customer2.xsd">



<Customer>

<Code>C001</Code>

<Name>Cust1</Name>

<Phones>
<Phone>88888888</Phone>

<Phone>77777777</Phone>

<Phone>66666666</Phone>

</Phones>

</Customer>

<Customer>
<Code>C002</Code>

<Name>Cust2</Name>
<Phones>
<Phone>11111111</Phone>
</Phones>

</Customer>

</CustomerDetails>

Is this possible through MapForce tool, if yes then please provide solution on this problem.

This seems very simmilar to your other post http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=319622

No need to post the same question twice.

? No, this is a different question altogether. You'd have to solve this one to use the answer to the next one...

I don't believe this is achievable with mapforce (not simply anyways.) I recommend using the Muenchian grouping method. http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/gro...muenchian.html
...
<xsl:key name="customer-by-code" match="Customer" use="Code" />
..
<xsl:for-each select="Customer[count(. | key('customer-by-code', Code)[1]) = 1]">
<xsl:copy-of select="Code"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="Name"/>
<Phones>
<xsl:for-each select="key('customer-by-code', Code)">
<xsl:copy-of select="Phone"/>

Hi khp,

This is different query but all together, i am desperately looking help for this.

jkmyoung : Thanks for your quick reponse.

you are right you understood what i need, i didn't understand your code could you kindly explain with more details with any example.

I want to get this only using with mapforce.

If somebody knows solution about this, please post as early as possible.

Thanks in advance

I would have suggested posting on the Altova forums, but I see you've already done that... There are 2 major problems here:
1. Finding the unique names (or Codes).
2. Finding the Person elements with this name.

I can't see a way to do this without using a custom xslt library function. Tools - Options - Libraries - Add - (xslt file)

Put this in the xslt file you're adding.
<xsl:template name="firstPerson">
<!-- returns true if this is the first person with this name -->
<xsl:param name="Person"/>
<xsl:for-each select="$Person">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="not(preceding-sibling::Person[Name=$Person/Name])">true</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>false</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

Use this as a filter condition, as to whether you want a new result person or not.
Can't think of how to do the 2nd part in mapforce... Really, using a custom XSLT sheet for this one transformation is the way to go, but then you'd have to learn xslt. Maybe someone else has a better idea.
