Using XML Source File with SSIS

Question

I wonder if anyone can advise, I have an xml file as below:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
       <Control>
         <sRulesToRun>11</sRulesToRun>
         <dPointInTime>2011-01-02 00:00:01</dPointInTime>
       </Control>

Using this XSD file

<?xml version="1.0"?> <xsd:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified"

version="1.0" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <xsd:element name="Control">
    <xsd:complexType>
      <xsd:sequence>
        <xsd:element name="sRulesToRun" type="xsd:int" />
        <xsd:element name="dPointInTime" type="xsd:dateTime" />
      </xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
  </xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>

But in the SSIS package it doesn't recognise the field names. I'm new to using XML and any help would be very greatfully received.

Many thanks

Try after adding <root></root> in your xml. I guess your xml would be something like

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>       
<Control>
         <sRulesToRun>11</sRulesToRun>
         <dPointInTime>2011-01-02 00:00:01</dPointInTime>
       </Control>
 </root>

and your xsd could be

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsd:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" version="1.0" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xsd:element name="root">
    <xsd:complexType>
      <xsd:sequence>
  <xsd:element name="Control">
    <xsd:complexType>
      <xsd:sequence>
        <xsd:element name="sRulesToRun" type="xsd:int" />
        <xsd:element name="dPointInTime" type="xsd:dateTime" />
      </xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
  </xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
  </xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>

Basically, the root tag is missing in the xml file. You can name it anything. Hope it helps.

Have you checked the exact case? XML is case sensitive.

As far as I can tell it's all the same, our database uses case sensitive collation so I'm used to checking it.

Do you still get the issue if you get SSIS to generate the XSD?
