Hi Rudi

Thanks for the help. How would I redirect the desired result to an another xml file? As stated in my post, only firstName1, surname and IDNumber fields need be changed. The XML file needs to remain in the same structure when being written back to file but the fields mentioned needs to be updated.

The idea is to have this job update the fields so that I do not manually need to go and update it before execution of its online service. In order for each record to be unique, it is essential that the IDNumber is incremented, else the record will not process.

I have attached the input to this post. Note that values for fields that need to change have namely firstName1 and surname1 have "Test 12" descriptions which should change to Test 13, 14, 15, etc until the counter reaches 100 and same applies to the IDNumber where it gets incremented by one.

I hope this gives you a better understanding. Highly appreciate you helping me.

Regards,
Test1.xml (3.6 KB)

tinydyndns-update

tinydyndns-update(8)					      System Manager's Manual					      tinydyndns-update(8)

NAME

       tinydyndns-update - update TYPE A record in data.cdb

SYNOPSIS

       tinydyndns-update fqdn dynip

DESCRIPTION

       tinydyndns-update  changes  the data of a TYPE A record in data.cdb in the current directory.  Other than tinydns-data(8), tinydndns-update
       does not know about the source file data but changes the binary database data.cdb directly.

       First tinydyndns-update checks if the given fqdn has a TYPE A record in data.cdb.  Then it checks if the given IP address differs from  the
       one  in	the  TYPE  A record in data.cdb, or if the record's timestamp should be updated.  Finally if data.cdb needs to change, tinydyndns-
       update copies data.cdb to data.tmp, changes the IP address of the TYPE A record of fqdn to dynip in data.tmp, optionally  adjusts  time-to-
       live or time-to-die, and renames data.tmp to data.cdb.

ENVIRONMENT

       TTL    time-to-live.  The environment variable TTL overrides the default time-to-live in seconds (0 if TTD is set, otherwise 5).  If TTL is
	      not set or zero, the time-to-live of the record will not change.	$TTL must be an integer.

       TTD    time-to-die.  $TTD must be an integer, specifying a number of seconds.  If TTD is set, the timestamp of the record  is  set  to  the
	      current  time  plus  $TTD  seconds,  and TTL is set to zero by default, so that tinydns(8) interpretes the timestamp as time-to-die.
	      Note: you probably want to adjust SOA ttl, or create a wildcard record, to prevent DNS caches from caching nxdomain, when using this
	      feature.

       LOC    location.  $LOC must be two characters long.  If LOC is set, it specifies the client location for records to be updated.

EXIT CODES

       If tinydyndns-update cannot find a TYPE A record for fqdn in data.cdb, it prints a warning and exits 114.

       If  dynip  does not differ from the IP address of the TYPE A record of fqdn in data.cdb, and the environment variable TTD is not set, tiny-
       dyndns-update prints a note and exits 0.

       tinydyndns-update exits 100 if it has trouble opening data.cdb, and leaves data.cdb unchanged.

       tinydyndns-update exits 111 on temporary error, and leaves data.cdb unchanged.

       If data.cdb was changed successfully, tinydyndns-update exits 0.

FILES

	./data.cdb
	./data.tmp
