XML load error

Hi,

I am trying create reload the dashboard using below condition but not able to do that.

getting below error:

XML document must have a top level element.


Dashboard script Script:


LET vFilePath='\TaskLogIndex\TaskLogIndex_*.xml';

LET vSize =FileSize('$(vFilePath)');  //test the file size

IF vSize > 3000  THEN

LOAD

LogID,

    TaskName,

    Date,

    Time,

    ClusterID,

    FullLogPath,

    FileSize() as fsz

FROM $(vFilePath)(XmlSimple, Table is [Root/LogIndex]);

ENDIF

Thank you,

YJ

This error occurs when you have extra Tag in your XML code?

Thank you anil,

Could you please help me.

please provide your thoughts.

Try this?

LET vSize = filesize(myfile);

IF '$(vSize)' > 3000 THEN

  LOAD * FROM myfile;

ENDIF


So, In your expression you may forget this?

LET vFilePath='\TaskLogIndex\TaskLogIndex_*.xml';

LET vSize =FileSize('$(vFilePath)');  //test the file size

IF '$(vSize)' > 3000  THEN

LOAD

LogID,

    TaskName,

    Date,

    Time,

    ClusterID,

    FullLogPath,

    FileSize() as fsz

FROM $(vFilePath)(XmlSimple, Table is [Root/LogIndex]);

ENDIF

In spite of the previous comments, this syntax is correct, so changing it is not necessary:

IF vSize > 3000  THEN


The error you are getting is that the XML file is not well-formed as it lacks a root (or top-level) element. A well-formed XML dopcument will have the layout


<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<rootnode>

  <elementnode></elementnode>

  <elementnode></elementnode>

  ...

</rootnode>

Your document may be lacking the header node and/or root node
