Assigning Dynamic Properties to an XML Bulk Post

Asked by benhurley in XML Databases, Extensible Markup Language (XML), MS SQL Server, MySQL Server, SQL Reporting

Tags: XML, BULK POST, MSSQL, VB Script

I need to find out how i can assign dynamic properties, namely a unique CompanyID to an XML bulk post data sheet, so that end users can upload an XML data sheet and bulk post it to my application, with the correct variables filerting the data into their unique CompanyID.

The application is a job posting site, which allows companies to post jobs online. The XML bulk load feature is necessary as many agencies now use this feature and its becoming common place. I have already developed the BULK POST code, which functions fine, i can bulk post data to MSSQL as the site admin, no problem, providing i manually enter the CompanyID into the schema. This is not sufficient however, as i need my clients to be able to bulk post their own data, and have the company ID assigned during the transformation.

The code consists of 3 parts as shown below;

The part im assuming i need to assign the dynamic properties to is code sample 3, the transformation schema. Im not an expert in XML and have no idea how to insert dynamic values without messing up the code. On the application side, CompanyID (which is the value i need to make dynamic) is called as varCompanyID during the session.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as to how i should go about setting this up.

Thanks in advance experts!

             1. Bulk Post ASP VB Script
 
'<% 
 
Set objBL = CreateObject("SQLXMLBulkLoad.SQLXMLBulkLoad")
objBL.ConnectionString = "provider=SQLOLEDB.1;data source=COMPUTER1\SQLEXPRESS;database=database1;uidXXXXX=;pwd=XXXXX"
objBL.KeepIdentity = False
objBL.ForceTableLock = True
objBL.Transaction = True
objBL.ErrorLogFile = "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\website\log.log"
objBL.Execute "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\website\xml_upload\transform.xml", "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\website\XML\company_account\job_import.xml"
Set objBL = Nothing
 
%>'
 
2. XML Data Sheet Example
 
<ROOT>
  <JobAd>
        
	<CompanyID>1</CompanyID>
	<CompanyName>TestCompany.com</CompanyName>
	<PositionTitle>Bulk Import Test Job</PositionTitle>
	<JobDescription>Currently, Test Company are seeking for qualified candidates to join their United Kingdom team as Chief Financial Officer. This opportunity is a Permanent, Contract position to be based at London, United Kingdom.</JobDescription>

	<FieldofStudy>Computer Science</FieldofStudy>
	<Language1>English</Language1>
	<Language2>French</Language2>
  </JobAd>
</ROOT>
 
3. Finally the transformation code, which we shall call transform.xml
