Configuring the XML transformation with lookup

Procedure

Double-click the tXMLMap component to open its Map Editor.

Note that the input area is already filled with the defined input tables and the top table is the main input table.
In the row2 input table, right-click the USState node and from the contextual menu select Import From File. In the pop-up dialog box, browse to the XML source file to import therefrom the XML tree structure used by the data to be received by tXMLMap. In this scenario, the XML source file is USState.xml, which is the input data to tFileInputXML labelled USStates.
In the imported XML tree, right-click the States node and from the contextual menu select As loop element to set it as the loop element.
In the row1 main input table, click the idState node and drop it to the Exp.key column in the row of the idState node in the row2 lookup input table. This creates a join between the two input tables on the idState data, among which the idState node from the main flow provides the lookup key.
In the row2 lookup input table, click the LabelState node and drop it on the customer node in the Customer output table. A dialog box pops up.
In the pop-up dialog box, select Create as sub-element of target node and click OK. A new LabelState sub-element is added to the output XML tree and mapped with the LabelState node in the lookup input table.
Click OK to validate the mappings and close the Map Editor.
