Overview
The XML Autoload Utility enables you to add, change, or delete selected data objects in the IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender Partner Manager database without the need for manual data entry in the Partner Manager GUI. A custom program may be used to create the XML input file, or it can be created using maps that use a Transformation Extender Type Tree based on the XML DTD file included with the product. The XML AutoLoad Utility can be run interactively, or it can be run silently through command line parameters. An embedded security function is also included to prevent inadvertent additions, changes, or deletions of data.
This utility is provided with
XML input and open database connectivity (ODBC) system data source name (DSN)
pointing to the destination database. This ensures that duplicate data are
rejected, foreign keys exist, range values are achieved, and surrogate keys
are generated.
Note: If you have used the XML AutoLoad Utility previously,
be aware that in this version of the product, a test post office has been
introduced to X12 outbound links. The existing post office field, PutMailPO,
is now the production post office. If you make no changes to your XML script
generation, the post office that you have used previously for X12 Outbound
Links will be this production post office. See the fields TestIndicator, ProdIndicator
and TestPutPO fields in the tag X12OBAppLink for more information. If you
do not want to take advantage of these new test vs. production post offices,
set the two post offices to the same value.
