Hi,
We have a ERP system that can output anything I want in XML. Is it possible to use that XML file as a datasource with CCS?
If not, how can I use that XML file in CCS to "make pages"? It is possible (very possible) that I don't understand what XML is, exactly, but if I look at the structure of an XML output I would say it is usable as a datasource. Can someone shine some light on this for me?
Thanks,
Rene

I'd say that this is not possible, unless you'd find some XML ODBC driver that would access the XML data via ODBC: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=%22XM...%22&btnG=Search
But even with ODBC you could read the XML data when displaying grids, but not sure if you could update the same XML data via record forms and editable grids.
Since your ERP system can output XML then it should also be able to output Text files, in which case you may have a better luck finding a text ODBC Driver: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=%22text+ODBC+driver%22
Or you could output anything from an ERP system to another database rather than text files.
Also, CCS may be able to connect directly to your ERP database/tables and use those as datasource.
