l
Show all elements: When the delimiter is set to a specific element or XPath, checking
this option allows to extract information from higher-level nodes, including those that
follow the element or path. This might slow down the processing, so if you don't need any
information from the higher-level nodes that follow that specific element, it is
recommended to leave this option unchecked.
When this option is used in combination with a trigger element that is not repeated at the
same node level (in other words, it doesn't have a sibling with the same name), the entire
XML document will be shown for each record, except the trigger element, which will only
be shown for the record that is currently selected in the Data Model pane.
This could lead to a problem with some steps that use an XPath with absolute indexes,
such as a location-based Extract step. Using a dynamic index in the XPath will fix the
problem. For example, in the case of a location-based Extract step, switch to extracting
the data via JavaScript (see "JavaScript-based field" on page267); in the JavaScript
expression, replace the index of the element's parent in the XPath with record.index.
Note
The information contained in all of the selected parent nodes will be copied for each
instance of that node. For example, if a client node contains multiple invoice nodes, the
information for the client node can be duplicated for each invoice.
The DataMapper only extracts elements for which at least one value or attribute value is
defined in the file.
Boundaries
Boundaries are the division between records: they define where one record ends and the next
record begins; for an explanation see "Record boundaries" on page224.
CSV, Excel or Database file boundaries
Since database data sources are structured the same way as CSV and Excel files, the options
for these file types are identical.
l
Record limit: Defines how many records are displayed in the Data Viewer. This does not
affect output production; when generating output, this option is ignored. To disable the
limit, use the value 0 (zero).
