You can add an XML Source Qualifier transformation to a mapping by dragging

an XML source definition to the Mapping Designer workspace or by manually
creating one. When you add an XML source definition to a mapping, you need to
connect it to an XML Source Qualifier transformation. The XML Source Qualifier
transformation defines the data elements that the Integration Service reads when
it executes a session. It determines how the PowerCenter reads the source data.

An XML Source Qualifier transformation always has one input or output port for
every column in the XML source. When you create an XML Source Qualifier
transformation for a source definition, the Designer links each port in the XML
source definition to a port in the XML Source Qualifier transformation. You
cannot remove or edit any of the links. If you remove an XML source definition
from a mapping, the Designer also removes the corresponding XML Source
Qualifier transformation. You can link one XML source definition to one XML
Source Qualifier transformation

You can link ports of one XML Source Qualifier group to ports of different
transformations to form separate data flows. However, you cannot link ports from
more than one group in an XML Source Qualifier transformation to ports in the
same target transformation.

You can edit some of the properties and add metadata extensions to an XML
Source Qualifier transformation.

For more information about the XML Source Qualifier transformation, see the
PowerCenter XML Guide.

XML Parser Transformation

Use an XML Parser transformation to extract XML inside a pipeline. The XML
Parser transformation lets you extract XML data from messaging systems, such
as TIBCO or MQ Series, and from other sources, such as files or databases. The
XML Parser transformation functionality is similar to the XML source functionality,
except it parses the XML in the pipeline. For example, you might want to extract
XML data from a TIBCO source and pass the data to relational targets.

The XML Parser transformation reads XML data from a single input port and
writes data to one or more output ports.

For more information about the XML Parser transformation, see the PowerCenter
XML Guide.
XML Generator Transformation

Use an XML Generator transformation to create XML inside a pipeline. The XML
Generator transformation lets you read data from messaging systems, such as
TIBCO and MQ Series, or from other sources, such as files or databases. The
XML Generator transformation functionality is similar to the XML target
functionality, except it generates the XML in the pipeline. For example, you might
want to extract data from relational sources and pass XML data to targets.

The XML Generator transformation accepts data from multiple ports and writes
XML through a single output port.

For more information about the XML Generator transformation, see the
PowerCenter XML Guide.
