Another way of splitting source data is to enable the quick splitting feature. This splits the source and sets the Splitter Xpath.
Steps to split data by enabling quick splitting
- Ensure that all the source and target schemas are loaded and all their elements are listed under their respective nodes.
Select Actions menu and select Enable Quick Splitting option. Alternately, you can press <Ctrl> + <Q>. This splits the data and displays the splitter Xpath details.
Click OK. This splits and sets the Splitter XPath on the selected source element.
However, quick splitting splits the records in default numbers. To split into a specific number, you need to set the Splitter Xpath explicitly.Once a Splitter XPath is set for a source element, the letter (S) is displayed next to that source element. This signifies that the source element has been split and the Splitter XPath has been set. Refer to Table of Suffixes for details on suffixes displayed next to an element.
Steps to view Splitter XPath
Click View menu and select View Mapping XML. The Mapping XML window is displayed. The Splitter XPath details are displayed with a $Input tag prefixed to Source XPath code.
You can remove a Splitter XPath that has been set for a source element.
Steps to remove Splitter XPath
Right-click the source schema element whose Splitter XPath you want to remove and select the Remove Splitter XPath option. A screen showing the Splitter XPath details is displayed.
- Click OK. This removes the Splitter XPath set on the selected source element.
