Modify the opendeploy Config file DTD

Hi everyone,

-->I have a requirement of deploying an XML file as output but i want to modify the structure of the output file.
-->For example the default structure of the output xml-formatted-file is
<data-tuple>
<tuple-field name="key">TeamSite/Templating/DCR/Type</tuple-field>
<tuple-field name="value">personal/silo_landing_pages</tuple-field>
<tuple-field name="path">templatedata\personal\silo_landing_pages\data\newform</tuple-field>
</data-tuple>
I want to get rid of the keywords <data-tuple> and <tuple-field name> and use user defined keywords..
-->I have referred Open Deploy Reference guide, but i couldnt exactly find which dtd to modify for this purpose.
--> Please suggest whether it is possible to do this or not. If yes which DTD do i have to modify and how.

Thanks in advance.
I am using Teamsite 7.0 , Open Deploy 7.0 and am working on the Windows 2003.

Hi Abishk

I dont think modification of open deploy config file DTD is possible, even if its possible i dont think you can replace standard keywords with anything.

What you are describing is a DataDeploy "narrow-tuple" format - you could try to use a DataDeploy "wide-tuple" format or "user defined schema" - or, better yet, (assuming we're talking about DCRs here) since you want to deploy the XML as files (rather than as data) you could just format the XML the way you want it and use OpenDeploy (instead of DataDeploy) - this could be done in at least two ways:

talking about DCR - please provide more details about what you are doing / trying to do.

Hi adam, Thanks a lot for replying.
What i am trying to use is
-->Open Deploy configuration file to deploy an XML to formatted XML using the configuration file Deployment.xml.txt(PFA)
-->The source XML file is like this:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE press-release SYSTEM "employee.dtd">
<deptRecords><dept>
<deptId>00101</deptId>
<description name="Engineering"/>
</dept></deptRecords>
-->The output xml file that i am getting is something like this:-
<xml-tuple-data version="2.0.0">
<data-tuple>
<tuple-field name="deptRecords/0/dept/0/deptId/0">00101</tuple-field>
<tuple-field name="deptRecords/0/dept/0/description/0/
name">Engineering</tuple-field>
</data-tuple></xml-tuple-data>
-->Now our requirement is to get rid of the keywords like data-tuple and tuple-field name, instead we want to use our own keywords e.g. <Department> etc
-->Please tell me what i need to do in order to achive this.. Thanks

You say OpenDeploy - but you're using DataDeploy.
You say you want to deploy XML - so I repeat:[quote=ghoti]since you want to deploy the XML as files (rather than as data) you could just format the XML the way you want it and use OpenDeploy (instead of DataDeploy) - this could be done in at least two ways:

Or is there some technical reason why you are unable to do either of the above?

Abishk

Yes adam, sorry for the confusion.. I am using the data deploy for deployment..
Now i guess the question remains valid and if you could further illustrate how to achive the suggestions you gave, i'll be highly thankful..

Also if i need to deploy xml as data, how the above can be done..

You're asking two different questions - for the first - yes, you can use OD and you simply have to understand how to do things with FormsPublisher (read manuals, take training, or hire someone to help you). For the second, you need to use DataDeploy, but you wouldn't be deploying to a file, you'd be deploying to a DB (again, read manuals, take training, or hire someone to help you).

You want me to illustrate it for you - hire me, pay me, and I'll come over, implement it, document it, and provide knowledge transfer of the implementation details. Otherwise, read the manuals and/or take some training.

Why use a hammer to hammer something in when I can try using a monkey wrench ?
