Data Loading ServiceTo import legacy data into BillerXpert, it must first be converted into XML format. XML stands for Extensible Markup Language, and is an Internet standard that allows the interchange of data among various applications. The BillerXpert data loading service loads data in XML format into LDAP or Oracle, as required.XML is a restricted form of SGML, the Standard Generalized Markup Language (ISO 8879). The goal of XML is to enable generic SGML to be served, received, and processed on the Web in the way that is now possible with HTML. XML has been designed for ease of implementation and for interoperability with both SGML and HTML. BillerXpert’s data loading service is an XML parser that reads XML documents, without validation. This means that errors in the XML files will not be detected by the parser and the affected entries will not be loaded. A single XML file can be used to load both Oracle and LDAP data, which makes it easy to synchronize the data kept in the different repositories. To load documents, convert the legacy format files, such as AFP files, to XML. Start the loading process by invoking the BXLoadAL AppLogic. BXLoadAL then starts the loading parser, which reads the tags in the XML files and moves data into the BillerXpert database BillerXpert provides access to the BXLoadAL AppLogic in three ways:
