Unexpected element in a xmlport

abultel

Hello all,

I am trying to import an xml file and I have always the message :
"Unexpected Element HABILITATIONLIST although this tag is in my XMLport in the right position.

Does anyone have an idea to solve the problem ?

Thanks in advance

Did you make sure it is spelled correctly?

Make sure it's the correct CASE

Thanks for your answer.
In fact, the problem was in the xml file.
The opening tag must be closed at the end of each record and not at the end of the file.

hello. I am having this same problem and cannot figure it out!

I have defined the element properly in the XMLPort: proper CASE, proper spelling, proper indentation, yet when i try to pull in my file, i get: the Element <ItemID> is unexpected.

the file is formatted like this:

<ItemOut lineNumber='1' quantity='10' requestedDeliveryDate='2008-10-20T00:00:00-00:00'> 
       <ItemID>
         <SupplierPartID>0117633603</SupplierPartID>
       </ItemID>
       <ItemDetail>
          ... more elements...      
</ItemOut>

when i remove the ItemID section from the XML file, and set ItemID minOccur to zero in my XMLPORT it works fine. it brings in my item details as expected.

any ideas?

edit: DANG! i need to step away from my cube. as soon as i posted this, i went back and looked at my XMLPort again, and while ItemID was setup properly, the subsequent element SupplierPartID was not.

Sorry everyone. i knew it had to be something i was doing wrong!

Experienced the same problem but with a different solution.
The element <element> was unexpected
this error occured when I changed <element> from sourcetype field to sourcetype text
When I edited the xml file from <element></element> to <element/> the import worked.
Could this be a bug?
