Please let me also clarify, I’m looking for a solution that can be run from the GUI – so I’m not looking for suggestions using shell scripts or Ant which would be easy to implement.

 

Thanks,

I’m looking for the best way to batch up a series of updating operations into a single pipeline that can be run at once.

 

To give you an idea, we have to create multiple databases, perform a number of updating post-processes on each, before finally pulling certain fields out.

 

I’ve got a lot of parameters that need to externalised somehow – database creation options, location of DTDs, XSDs, Catalogs, and unless I am trying this the wrong way I am finding it quite difficult.

 

I can’t write it all XQuery – I have a mixture of updating and non-updating functions.

 

I can’t get much traction out of the BXS scripting syntax – for example, I can’t seem to create and use variables using this.

 

What do other people out there use to glue these sorts of operations together?

 

TIA,

Constantine
