Why two files? That would be the approach with a SQL type database, but in Universe, you can make the track data multi-valued related fields in the albums file.

A sample layout might be something like: <albums> <album> <album_ID/> <album_title/> <album_total_runtime/> <album_total_tracks/> <tracks> <track number="1"> <track_ID/> <track_title/> <track_artist/> </track> <track number="2"> <track_ID/> <track_title/> <track_artist/> </track> </tracks> <album> </albums> What I'm trying to do is have an ALBUMS file and a TRACKS file. I want a single record in the ALBUMS file for each album and a record in the TRACKS file for each track. Essentially every "album" record in the XML will product one ALBUMS record and potentially multiple "TRACKS" records. The trouble I'm having is getting more than one TRACKS record. I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried this before and how their experience went. I end up with just one TRACKS record with the first iteration. Is what I'm trying even possible? I've opened a case with IBM as well but figured maybe one of you has been in this situation before. - Josh _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
