Sorry, ignore my reply, it only applies to delimited_text. Thanks to Martijn 
for pointing that out to me..

@Lucas, you did not mention XML parsing errors, so maybe your XML is just fine, 
and all you try to do is take an attribute value and use that as uri. 
Unfortunately, you can’t do that with -uri_id, it only takes xml element and 
json property names. To be able to do that would require using MLCP transforms..

Kind regards,
Geert

Valid points all, but MLCP warns about spaces in header names, and proceeds by 
converting them to underscores before generating XML out of them.

On the other hand, though unlikely nor practical, spaces in property names are 
allowed in JSON. ;-)

Cheers,
Geert

Hi,

That is indeed the most likely explanation.  Just to make it clear to the OP, 
in such a situation an XML parser MUST stop normal processing (see e.g. 
http://w3.org/TR/xml/#sec-terminology, and the fact that having "<a b>" where a 
start tag is possible is ultimately breaking the document production rule).

When it comes to XML (in general, not only with MarkLogic), sometimes working 
around validity might the right solution, depending on the technical and 
non-technical context.  But having ill-formed documents never is.  Fixing 
ill-formedness is always less painful than any other solution.

Just my 2 cents.  Regards,

Dear Lucas,

judging from your command, I think your input file contains an XML-starttag 
"<uri _id>" and corresponding endtag "</uri _id>". Unfortunately, XML tag names 
may not contain empty spaces (See also: 
https://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-Name).

MLCP tries to interpret the xml-file and it reports an unexpected character, 
">". MLCP assumes "_id" to be an attribute name to the tag name "uri", like 
<uri _id="1234">. The next character following "_id" is therefore expected to 
be an equal sign.

I would advice you to request the output file be offered in accordance with the 
XML-specification, rather than trying to fix the document. Otherwise, I fear, 
you will be forced to use sed, or a something similar, to replace the malformed 
XML-tags through the entire document each and every time you receive a new 
version.


Met vriendelijke groet / Kind regards,

I am a newb, so forgive me if I missed this answer while searching.

I am testing ML 8 for a project at work and we have a requirement to load large 
amounts of historical data. I've read the mlcp documentation and can 
successfully import some test data, but the problem I am facing is the archive 
data has a space in the record identifier.

My command is:
 mlcp.sh import -host localhost -port 8006 -username dataload -password 
dataload -mode local -input_file_path ../xml/MD2014aggregate.xml 
-input_file_type aggregates -aggregate_record_element row -uri_id "row _id" 
-output_uri_prefix /traffic/MD -output_uri_suffix .xml -output_collections 
published

This produces the following error:
17/03/21 13:49:20 ERROR contentpump.ContentPump: Unrecognized argument: \_id

I've escaped both the space and the underscore (row\ _id and row\ \_id) and 
still get the same error. I've also wrapped in in single quotes and double 
quotes.

I'm trying to keep from having to use sed to remove the space between row and 
_id in the entire file.

Is there a way to make mlcp see the URI_ID literally as "row _id"?

Thanks in advance.
