Hi i am new to IIB.
I know we can able to read xml data using XMLNSC parser in IIB.
Is there any way to read xsd file contents in ESQL or Compute Node? |

Why would you want to do that?
Care to explain?
As a side note, I've been using this product sice 2002 and have never had the need to read an XSD in a message flow outside using xsd's in parsing.

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

Yes. An XSD file is an XML file that conforms to a particular standard. So you can process it in IIB like any other XML file.
I echo my worthy associate's comments - why exactly would you want to do this? I've been using MQSI/WMB/IIB for very slightly longer than him and, like him, never done this. What's the requirement here?
It sounds a lot like you're trying to invent a wheel when one comes standard with IIB.

validation comes to mind. Can the OP please verify and disclose the purpose of reading the xsd?

Thanks for all your reply.
@Vitor and @fjb_saper , I need to generate XML contents dynamically based on the XSD file. |

You can use any of the IIB Transformation interfaces to create any elements in the message tree you want.

What does this mean?
You need to construct elements that are valid according to the XSD?
Or you need to use the contents of the XSD to decide what elements to create?
The first meaning is what we've been telling you. Use the XSD to build a message model, and use normal IIB methods to create a message tree and validate it against the XSD.
The second option is insane, and your lead developer or whoever told you to do this should be fired. I realize that's not up to you. But you should ask them why they are trying to be so over clever that they are producing a solution that will be nearly impossible to debug or understand.

At the minimum, you should evaluate new career opportunities because when this over engineered, impossible to debug solution blows up in Prod (and it will) then the likelihood is whoever is telling you to do this will have no recollection of telling you to do this and, in all probability, will remember telling you to do it this way. At which point the bus will go straight over you.

IIB can be configured to do almost anything, so it is very likely that it can do what you need. But you may need to think about the problem in a different way.

Let's assume that there is a real requirement hiding behind this statement. Please can you explain in detail why you need to do this? If it helps, provide an example scenario including the XSD and the dynamically-generated XML. |

Are you trying to generate a sample xml with the XSD you have? and do you want to do that with IIB toolkit? Or do you want to generate a message set with the XSD you have?

What do you mean by this? I wonder if some of the terminology is confusing you and/or us.
What do you mean dynamically? Are you wanting to change the XSD or What exactly?

Are you using the contents of the XSD to tell your flow what fields to create?
That's a very bad idea.
Are you using the contents of the XSD to ensure your message is accurate? That's a good idea, and doesn't require your flow to read the XSD.
