For a document to be well formed or a valid XML document it should have only 1 root element containing other elements.
So in case you want to merge different documents you need to create a new root element and append the child nodes of the different XML documents you want to merge excluding the first processing instruction containing the XML version and encoding.
If you are sure that these XML that you are talking about are well formed then you can achieve this by simple File I/O. create a file create write the root element and then one by one copy the contents of other xml files except the first entity if any. Finally write the closing tag of the root element and you are done.

How to merge many XML files into one?

Hi: I got a small project to combine many XML files into one and convert the combined XML file in Excel using AppleScript. My XML files look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Metadataobject>
    <from>[email protected]</from>
    <jobname>B3_IM09MBDUF</jobname>
    <pages>2</pages>
    <priority>3</priority>
    <timezone>CEST</timezone>
    <year>2013</year>
    <month>7</month>
    <day>15</day>
    <hour>11</hour>
</Metadataobject>
and like this...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Metadataobject>
    <from>[email protected]</from>
    <jobname>P1_FR1330G006007_Kate_van der Vaart</jobname>
    <pages>2</pages>
    <priority>1</priority>
    <timezone>CEST</timezone>
    <year>2013</year>
    <month>7</month>
    <day>12</day>
    <hour>16</hour>
</Metadataobject>
I get many XML files like this. And I want them to be combined and shown like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Metadataobject>
    <job id="1">
    <from>[email protected]</from>
    <jobname>B3_IM09MBDUF</jobname>
    <pages>2</pages>
    <priority>3</priority>
    <timezone>CEST</timezone>
    <year>2013</year>
    <month>7</month>
    <day>15</day>
    <hour>11</hour>
    </job>
    <job id="1">
    <from>[email protected]</from>
    <jobname>P1_FR1330G006007_Kate_van der Vaart</jobname>
    <pages>2</pages>

    <month>7</month>
    <day>12</day>
    <hour>16</hour>
    </job>
</Metadataobject>
And finally the combined XML file converts in Excel sheet with column headings "Job ID", "From", "Job Name" and so on...
Or there is another best way to get the same result...
Thanks

That is just an intermediary state to get to the excel version. Actually I get many small XML files (as shown above) from client and I want them all combined in an excel sheet with common column headings... like this...
from
jobname
pages
priority
timezone
year
month
day
hour
id

How to Merge multiple XML files in one file ( Env: XML Publisher 5.6.2)

All,
I have recently started working on XML publisher and have developed 3 reports in last 2 days using XML Publisher and integrating them with Concurrent programs.
This is a great tool.
I have got another requirement, where i need to use xml file generated by multiple run of same report with various parameters and then merge all xml file to a single report. Developing the whole custom process will take very long time and sure will have bugs in it. Instead i was thinking to use xml file generated by Oracle report itself.
Report "US Gross to net summary" generates xml output in standard output directory and then show output in PDF file. I have 7 such file generated for each payroll. I want to merge output of xml into a single xml so that i can create single report having data from all 7 xml files showing me All payroll output in a single report.
Can someone please guide me , how can i read xml file data from the output directory of a seeded concurrent program and how to manipulate data in it.
Thanks
Ankur

Hi Tim,
Thanks for replying. I have looked for "PDFBookBinder class" in xml publisher user guide for ver 5.6.2. I didn't get any reference of this text. Can you please guide me to a tutorial/link where i can get more information about this class.
Also, i originally thought of similar to your second logic, as my design basis. Oracle process generates the xml file in output directory which i can get. What i didn't get is how do i "pick them up and merge" using publisher. Also, is there way to do this merging process using pl/sql ? Can you please give little more information on your second approach.
My original plan of action is that i will create a report set in which i will call oracle seeded report for all 7 payrolls in a sequential manner. Then using the child requests of the report set i will get to 7 xml files generated by seeded oracle process. Then the piece i am not sure of , i will use those 7 files to generate a single xml file having payroll name as tree top for each output. Once single xml is ready, i can easily design a template and register the process to generate output as Excel.This process will not require me to actually change any data or do any calculation. It will only reformatting the feilds we see and abiity to see all 7 payroll at one time rather then entering these numbers manually into an excel to do analysis.
Please provide your feedback, if you think above plan is not feasible or need corrections.
Best Regards,
Ankur

While it is wonderful that you have discovered the magically code tags, please consider if it is the right time to use them. Code tags should only go round code. Note used to make your posts "stand out", or used to quote other people. Just code.

IDCS6 MACOSX JS: Data Merging many txt files one after another

Hello everybody.
I have a situation where I have to data-merge many text files to the one actual indesign "base" file. The formats of the databases are all the same, the point of difference is a code in the second field of the database that refers to a mailing zone (not a zip/postcode, a "distribution centre" code that has 56 or so possibilities). I would prefer to data merge one file and then somehow split the resulting PDF via Acrobat, but the length of the resulting mailing zones is inconsistent and something that can't be done though the "split document" feature in acrobat.
The database starts out as one massive file but using a one-line code, can be split into its mailing zones into separate text files.
My ultimate question: is there any way to data merge more than one file at once (e.g. one after another) and give them their names based on the names of the input text file?
Ole Kvern had a script to Data Merge one file without the UI. I have altered the last line slightly so that it outputs to a PDF based on [High Quality Setting]:
if(app.documents.length != 0){
        var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
        app.dataMergeOptions.removeBlankLines = true;
        //Select a source file.
        var myDataFile = File.openDialog("Select a data file")
        var exported = "file location(redacted for the sake of this post)"
        if(myDataFile != ""){
                myDocument.dataMergeProperties.selectDataSource(myDataFile,);
                myDocument.dataMergeProperties.exportFile(exported,"[High Quality Print]",);
I figure the answer has to do with the variable "myDataFile" and rather than being simply open a dialog, it would be somehow selecting an array of text files, but this is where I am out of my depth.
Any insights or other thoughts that may not involve trying to do many merges at once but may somehow revolve around one large merged PDF?
Many thanks
Colin

I've answered my own question, but the answer lies outside of Adobe InDesign – it uses bookmarks within Adobe Acrobat.
1) Data Merge the art/data to one large PDF file.
2) In the resulting PDF file, manually search out the mailing zones and apply bookmarks to each first instance only of each mailing zone. In this case, it is a manual process of find/replace to find one of 70 possible mailing zones that may be used in any database. Each bookmark should be named with its respective code. It is a manual process, but it would take 5 minutes so this is acceptable.
3) Using "Split Document" from the pages panel, make sure the "top level bookmarks" radio button is checked, and in the Output Options make sure that the "Use bookmark names for files" radio button is checked.
I'm aware that this was a rather obscure question that only a fraction of users on this forum may wish to know an answer for, but hopefully this workaround helps someone else in a similar situation.

How to merge portlet.xml file from shared libraries into an EAR application

Hi all
I need some help
I have some applications as shared-libs referenced by weblogic.xml into a EAR application.
To see all portlets from that shared-libs, I'm creating a portlet.xml into the EAR application with all portlets from all shared libs. But is terrible for me. I would like to have it merged automatically without having to create it in the EAR application. Is that possible?
Regards
Bruno

In the documentation, I saw this text:
Overriding Shared J2EE Library Settings in the web.xml File
At runtime, the web.xml files in all the shared J2EE libraries are merged, along with the web.xml
file in your portal web project. The content of your WEB-INF/web.xml file overrides anything in
the shared J2EE libraries, so if you want to change particular settings, you can do it there.
There are many other files for which file contents are merged; these can be overridden in the same
way. These files include not only WEB-INF/web.xml but also WEB-INF/weblogic.xml and any
files mentioned in weblogic-extension.xml from either the users' application or the shared
libraries.
It seems to be possible to customize the weblogic-extension.xml. But I haven't seen how to do that
What do you think about it?
Regards
Bruno

Recursively Merging 2 XML files with XSLT

Hi there, I'm having a problem with merging a couple of XML files. I've found a few examples of merging on-line but none that really help.
Basically I have an XML file which is written out by my Java program that looks something like this:
<alldata>
   <data val="xx">
      <data val="yy">
         <data val="ss"></data>
      </data>
   <data val="gg"></data>
</alldata>The number of children and siblings can change by the way.
Therefore in the XSLT document I'm displaying the data recursively, i.e.
<tr><td><xsl:value-of select="@val"/></td></tr>
<xsl:for-each select="*">
   <xsl:call-template name="itself"></xsl:call-template>
</xsl:for-each>This all works fine, but I now need to do a side by side comparison with another XML document that has exactly the same structure, but could have different values. I'm not sure how to do this, perhaps using the same recursive code and using a sort of pointer to where you are in the 2nd XML file (see below), but I've no idea how to go about this?
<tr><td><xsl:value-of select="@val"/></td>
       <td><xsl:value-of select="<2nd documents @val>"/></td>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="*">
   <xsl:call-template name="itself"></xsl:call-template>
</xsl:for-each>Output:
xx    xy
yy    yy
ss   ss
gg   hhDoes anybody have any suggestions or help on how to achieve this?
Cheers
Dan

I posted the same question on the xsl-list message list and got a working solution - here it is in case anyone else has the same problem:
<xsl:variable name="a" select="document('doc1.xml')//data"/>
<xsl:variable name="b" select="document('doc2.xml')//data"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
     <table>
       <xsl:for-each select="$a">
         <xsl:variable name="p" select="position()"/>
         <tr>
           <td><xsl:value-of select="@val"/></td>
           <td><xsl:value-of select="$b[$p]/@val"/></td>
         </tr>
       </xsl:for-each>
     </table>
</xsl:template>Cheers

Merging X XML files, sorting the resultlist and finally execute a distinct?

I have several questions about an XSLT file that I should write:
1� First, I get X paths to XML files. It can be 2, 3, 4, ... whatever a number. I don't know exactly the total amount of XML files.
I need to merge them dynamicly to one resultset.
2� Next, I need to sort them on a specific node (remark: every XML file has the same DOM tree)
3� Finally, I want to distinct the values because some of the nodes are in file 1, 2, 3 ... So I don't want duplicates.
I guess this is not possible in XSLT? I can't use Java, so it should be done using XSLT ;;;

Have a look here:
[http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/index.html|http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/index.html]
under the "Sorting" and "Grouping" sections. Also consider using XSLT 2.0, which has built-in grouping elements which make the convoluted XSLT 1.0 techniques unnecessary.

One to many xml files with file adaptor

Hi,
I have a scenario HCM-ABAPProxy--XI-File for one structure I need to generate multiple xml files with 100 records per file.
this is my input messag
MT_in
Node
     PositionIDs
        descrption
        job
        IsActive
what I was doing on the ABAP side for every node I have 100 PositionID's sub nodes. so each node should be a sperate file.
my output structure is
PositionIDs
    PositionID
      pid
      description
      job
so there should be one PositionIDs per file which contains 100 PositionID.
I've multi message mapping without BPM that did not work out just wondering if any one came across the same scenario.
thanks,
Joe

You can not create multiple files without BPM. You can pretty much perform multi mapping to achieve your split but to write it to a file, you will have to call the file adapter for each split which you can not do without using BPM. In BPM, for each split that you perform, you can use a send step in for-each loop which will give you the functionality you require.

Merge Many PDF files in several PDF Files

Hi,
I have about 500 PDF Files :
PDF_A1
PDF_A2
PDF_B1
PDF_B2
EtC.
I want to Merge all my 500 PDF Files in 250 PDF files. I want to merge A1 with A2. B1 with B2 etc. Any idea to how to do ?
Thank you

Hi Dave,
First, the issue does not exist anymore. We have decided to merge all documents in the same file. that's done and OK
Then, Any way, I have found a solution:
Use a script to put in different folders all files which must be together. I mean Folder A will contain files A1 and A2. Folder B will contain files B1 and B2 ...
Then use a PDF software in command line to merge all PDF files folder by folder.
Thnak you for your reply.

Spry deal with many xml files

Hi guys!
I have a problem about "Spry.Data.XMLDataSet",
I have two xml files, "em1.xml" and "em2.xml". they have the
same structure;
The code of "em1.xml" :
<employees>
<employee id="123456">
<lastname>Smith</lastname>
<firstname>Edward</firstname>
<phone>(415) 333-0235 </phone>
<username>esmith</username>
</employee>
<employee id="127937">
<lastname>Johnson</lastname>
<firstname>Neil</firstname>
<phone>(415) 333-9475 </phone>
<username>njohnson</username>
</employee>
</employees>
and the "em2.xml" code:
<employees">
<employee id="123543">
<lastname>Davis</lastname>
<firstname>Kirk</firstname>
<phone>(415) 333-4334 </phone>
<username>kdavis</username>
</employee>
<employee id="127944">
<lastname>Miller</lastname>
<firstname>James</firstname>
<phone>(415) 333-7566 </phone>
<username>jmiller</username>
</employee>
</employees>
Now! I want to display these datas on a dynamic table.here is
my code
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("em1.xml",
"employees/employee");
var ds2 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("em2.xml",
"employees/employee");
var ds3 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet();
ds3.data = ds1 + ds2;
<div spry:region="ds3">
<ul spry:repeatchildren="ds3">
<li spry:sort="lastname">{lastname}</li>
</ul>
</div>
finally! But It does not work! How can I combine "ds1" and
"ds2"!
------

on my God! Spry have not support the method!
but I've solved it;
my code:
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("em1.xml",
"employees/employee");
var ds2 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("em2.xml",
"employees/employee");
ds1.loadData();
ds2.loadData();
//ds2 addObserver
var myObj = new Object;
myObj .onPostLoad = function(dataSet,data){
dataSet.data = dataSet.data.concat(ds1.data);//concat two
array
for(var i=0; i<dataSet.data.length; i++){
dataSet.data
.ds_RowID = i;//reset ds_RowID
ds2.addObserver(myObj );
