Apply the Transformation

To ingest the sample documents and apply the previously installed transformation, use a command similar to the following. Change the username, password, host, port, and input_file_path options to match your environment.

Use a command similar to the following if you installed the XQuery transform module:

# Windows users, see Modifying the Example Commands for Windows
$ mlcp.sh import -mode local -host mlhost -port 8000 \
    -username user -password password \
    -input_file_path /space/mlcp/txform/data \
    -transform_module /example/mlcp-transform.xqy \
    -transform_namespace "http://marklogic.com/example" \
    -transform_param "my-value"

Use a command similar to the following if you installed the JavaScript transform module:

# Windows users, see Modifying the Example Commands for Windows
$ mlcp.sh import -mode local -host mlhost -port 8000 \
    -username user -password password \
    -input_file_path /space/mlcp/txform/data \
    -transform_module /example/mlcp-transform.sjs \
    -transform_function transform \
    -transform_param "my-value"

mlcp should report creating two documents. Near the end of the mlcp output, you should see lines similar to the following:

... INFO contentpump.LocalJobRunner: OUTPUT_RECORDS: 2
... INFO contentpump.LocalJobRunner: Total execution time: 1 sec

Use Query Console to explore the content database associated with your XDBC App Server. Confirm that mlcp created 2 documents. If your input was in the directory /space/mlcp/txform/data, then the document URIs will be:

• /space/mlcp/txform/data/txform.xml

• /space/mlcp/txform/data/txform.json

If you use the XQuery transform, then exploring the contents of txform.xml in the database should show a NEWATTR attribute was inserted by the transform, with the value from -transform_param. The document contents should be as follows:

<parent NEWATTR="my-value">
  <child/>
</parent>

If you use the JavaScript transform, then exploring the contents of txform.json in the database should show a NEWPROP property was inserted by the transform, with the value from -transform_param. The document contents should be as follows:

{ "key": "value", "NEWPROP": "my-value"}
