I wrote a number of assertions to compare pairs of dates in XSD 1.1 but none of them work.
Examples:
INPUT
<Records content-date="2006-05-04T18:13:51.0Z">
<Record issuance-date="2006-05-04T18:13:51.0Z"
last-update-date="2006-05-04T18:13:51.0Z"
last-renewal-date="2006-05-04T18:13:51.0Z" >
</Record>
<Record issuance-date="2006-05-04T18:13:51.0Z"
last-update-date="2006-05-04T18:13:51.0Z" last-renewal-date="2006-05-04T18:13:51.0Z">
<Event event-date="2006-05-04T18:13:51.0Z" event-type="INITIAL_REGISTRATION">
</Event>
</Record>
</Records>
XSD 1.1 asserts:
<xs:assert id="plausibility-issuance-date-plausibility"
test="#issuance-date < ./#content-date"/>
and
<xs:assert id="plausibility-file-and-record-timezones"
test="timezone-from-dateTime(Record/#issuance-date) = timezone-from-dateTime(REcords#content-date)"/>
Having read up on dateTime and timezone representations I'm a little overwhelmed.
Can anyone please tell me:
where are the errors (I hope it's clear what I'm trying to compare)?
is there a set of simple examples of this kind that make it easier to follow?
Your xs:assert XPATH its not correct because it is assumming that issuance-date and content-date are attributes of the same element, but they are not.
You can use an assert with this sample XPATH to say that "there is no Record with issuance-date greater or equal than its parent content-date":
empty(Record[#issuance-date ge ../#content-date])
Example XSD:
<xs:element name="Records">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Record" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute name="issuance-date" type="xs:dateTime"/>
<xs:attribute name="last-update-date" type="xs:dateTime"/>
<xs:attribute name="last-renewal-date" type="xs:dateTime"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="content-date" type="xs:dateTime"/>
<xs:assert id="plausibility-issuance-date-plausibility" test="empty(Record[#issuance-date ge ../#content-date])"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

I am trying to convert a rally complex fixed length file into XML using DFDL and Daffodil. Each line will be responsible for one element and first element of each line will tell me what kind of element it will be. It can be Parent A or Parent B or it can be child AA or AB or BB or BA.
Where Parent A is one element ,Parent B is another and Child AA is first child of Element A.
Inside one file there are multiple Parent A and Parent B.
I tried initiator tag even tried choice tag but nothing seems to be working. Can anyone please help me out.
It's difficult to give a complete answer without example data, but using initiators and choices is likely the right approach. There are potentially simpler schemas depending on the specific data, but a generic solution might look something like this:
<xs:schema
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:dfdl="http://www.ogf.org/dfdl/dfdl-1.0/">
<xs:include schemaLocation="org/apache/daffodil/xsd/DFDLGeneralFormat.dfdl.xsd" />

</xs:appinfo>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:element name="File">

<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence dfdl:separator="%NL;" dfdl:separatorPosition="postfix">
<xs:element name="Content" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="Record" maxOccurs="unbounded">

</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

<xs:element name="Record" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:choice dfdl:initiatedContent="yes">
<xs:element name="ChildBA" type="xs:string" dfdl:initiator="ChildBA:" />
<xs:element name="ChildBB" type="xs:string" dfdl:initiator="ChildBB:" />
</xs:choice>

This schema has the following features:
Each File has an unbounded number of Record's.
Each Record is a choice of either a ParentA or ParentB element, determined by the dfdl:initiator property.
Each Parent element contains the Content for that Parent (i.e. the stuff following the parent initiator) followed by an unbounded number of Child Records.
Each Child Record is also determined by the dfdl:initator property.
A postfix newline separator is used to determine when Parent Content and Child
content end.
This does not allow a ChildB elements to appear after a ParentA element and vice versa--child elements must always appear after the associated parent element. (If this restriction wasn't important, this schema could be greatly simplified).
The above allows data like this:
ParentA:Parent A Content
ChildAA:Child AA Content
ChildAB:Child AB Content
ParentB:Parent B Content
ChildBB:Child BB Content
ParentA:Parent A Content
ChildAB:Child AB Content
Which would parse into an XML infoset like this:
<File>
<Record>
<ParentA>
<Content>Parent A Content</Content>
<Record>
<ChildAA>Child AA Content</ChildAA>
</Record>
<Record>
<ChildAB>Child AB Content</ChildAB>
</Record>
</ParentA>
</Record>
<Record>
<ParentB>
<Content>Parent B Content</Content>
<Record>
<ChildBB>Child BB Content</ChildBB>
</Record>
</ParentB>
</Record>
<Record>
<ParentA>
<Content>Parent A Content</Content>
<Record>
<ChildAB>Child AB Content</ChildAB>
</Record>
</ParentA>
</Record>
</File>
The above is tested with Apache Daffodil 2.2.0
I was using XSD to validate my incoming XML elements.
XSD File
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.rg/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:tns="http://xxxy/ervices/V0"
targetNamespace="http://xxxy/ervices/V" elementFormDefault="qualified"
attributeFormDefault="unqualified" >
<xs:complexType name="FailType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="ConDt" type="xs:date" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" nillable="true"/>
<xs:element name="PreEn" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
My XML File
<Pat xmlns="http://xxxy/ervices/V">
<ConDt></ConDt>
</Pat>
I was getting element is invalid - The value '' is invalid according to its datatype 'http://org/2001/XMLSchema:date' - The string '' is not a valid Date value.
Specifying nillable="true" allows your instance to contain
<ConDt xsi:nil="true"></ConDt>
but it doesn't allow you to write
<ConDt></ConDt>
(Please don't ask me what they were thinking...)
If you want to allow
<ConDt></ConDt>
Then two possible approaches are
define it as a union type that allows either an xs:date or a
zero-length string, or
(my preferred approach) define it as a list type: a list of xs:date values with maxLength="1".
Thanks a lot Michael. I really appreciate your help.
Below code will allow us to declare optional date field.
<xs:element name="ConDt" maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:union>
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:minLength value="0" />
<xs:maxLength value="0" />
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:date" />
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:union>

I want to change an image in about 110 CR 2008 Reports.
I've seen answer about mass changing fields, but I need to change image.
Is their any script or method I could use ?
if you are saving the image in the database you can create schema xml file to reade from the image from DB and call this schema as subreport in the report itself.
the schema will be like this:
You have to make some modification on the id, target, element(table Name) and source as your requirements.

I have a source schema with less elements than the destination schema. When I run the map only mapped elements in destination schema shows up. I want all the elements in destination schema to show up, even they are empty. How to do this?
Set the "Default Value" of the output schema. This will create empty nodes.
The most convenient way is to use Inline C# Scripting functoid for this.
Scripting functoid:
public string GetEmptyString()
{
return System.String.Empty;
}
You can just link this functoid to all output nodes where you wish to see empty node.
Example:
Input schema:
<xs:schema xmlns="http://person" targetNamespace="http://person" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="Person">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Name" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="Surname" type="xs:string" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
Output schema:
<xs:schema xmlns="http://employee"
targetNamespace="http://employee"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="Employee">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="FirstName" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="MidName" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="LastName" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="Age" type="xs:string" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
Input message:
<ns0:Person xmlns:ns0="http://person">
<Name>John</Name>
<Surname>Snow</Surname>
</ns0:Person>
Expected output message:
<ns0:Employee xmlns:ns0="http://employee">
<FirstName>John</FirstName>
<MidName />
<LastName>Snow</LastName>
<Age />
</ns0:Employee>
Solution:
Link Person.Name to Employee.FirstName
Link Person.Surname to Employee.LastName
Create Scripting functoid that returns empty string
Link Scripting functoid to Employee.MidName
Link Scripting functoid to Employee.Age
I have a very strange behaviour in the Show Promotions Dialog in BizTalk 2006. It allows me to promote property fields:
But distinguished fields are disabled:
Any thoughts?
This is the XML Schema generated by the SQL Transport Schema Generation Wizard:

Edit your schema to change the OrchestrationID field from a Record to a Field Element. Only Elements and Attributes can be distinguished.
This usually entails deleting the existing Record element, then re-creating an Element with the same name, as Visual Studio wont allow changing an xml node's type. However, you can get around this by opening the xsd file using the XML (Text) Editor using the 'Open With...' option.
