Problem while populating XML using CSV data

Question

Hi,
We are trying to populate a XML file of nested structure from a CSV file. The performance is found to be degrading much.
While debugging, we found that the issue is because BODS is generating certain nodes in the XML multiple times. This has increased the number of rows that are processed by many fold. This in turn is hitting the performance.
The structure of our target XSD schema is something like this
CreateUpdateNode
   |
   |
     Production
        |
        |
           Asset
             |
             |
             Budget
CreateUpdateNode is the outer root element which is nested with inner elements as shown. Each of these  nodes has their own child elements like
production name,Asset name,Budget name e.t.c
The source is a CSV file containing multiple rows. While executing the job, the ideal case should be:
one CreateUpdateNode block for each input row. But here the nodes are generated multiple times in target XML.
We tried the below approach:
Generate a column for row number in the source, and during mapping, put a WHERE clause for each node such as WHERE row number=1.
Then the nodes are generated as we expect, but in this approach we will get only the data in first row (as row number=1).
Please suggest a suitable solution
Thanks ,
Prateek
