Attached are two .xsd files (renamed to .txt).
The both contain an element called "Occupancy".
When i use Hbeds.xsd this is not shown in the outputs.
When i use HBeds1.xsd is it.
HBeds1.xsd is HBeds.xsd with alot stripped out , so what gives ?
Any ideas ?

Are you expecting them to work interchangeably? Because one is 5 levels down, and the other is 7, so I don't think they could operate on the same files, etc....

No, not at all.

My point is that with Hbeds.xsd i dont get an output of Occupancy, whereas with Hbeds1.xsd i do.

Let's try this a different way. Do you have specific XML files you'd expect these to work against?

No , i have hundreds of XML files of the same structure that i need to parse.

So , using the XML source adaptor , i generated the XSD file Hbeds.xsd.

When i started to use this i noticed that at least one level , the occupancy , didnt have an output from the Adaptor itself. So in a effort to find out what was happening i stripped out the vast majority of the data within the .XSD and created HBeds1.XSD. To my surprise , when i used that in the adaptor, i have the output of 'Occupancy'.

So there lies my confusion , why would the output of Occupancy be available when Hbeds1.xsd is used , but not Hbeds.Xsd ?

ahhhhhhhhh , Sorted.....

The full schema has two "Occupancy" nodes.

So to distinguish , it has given the "full path". Doh...

Good to hear. I was wondering why it would be at different levels (not terribly uncommon in XML, but SSIS tends to not much care for that from what I've seen).

Cheers!
