Does anyone have the Centera "health-1.7.1.dtd"?
I am using the Altova tools to consume the health reports in XML format, but the schema that is 'automagically' generated from the XML input sometimes throws errors and halts our nightly reporting process. If someone could share the DTD format I can use it for XML validation.
Thanks for any assistance you may be able to provide,
Daniel

I never did get a response on this. In the end, I used Altova's ability to parse structured text files to consume the output of the Centera health report. The process went like this:
1) Execute Centera CLI to generate a health report and pipe to a file;
2) Use sed to take out the wrapper around the valid XML code;
3) Parse the file, consuming it using Altova MapForce with FlexText;
4) Take the resulting data & use MapForce to place that data in a SQL database;
5) Use a web-based page to query and report on all the relevant Centera data.
6) Bosses are happy!
Altova products allow me to generate source code that I compile into executable programs to automate data consumption and manipulation. I have been a paying customer for many years & receive no compensation for recommending them.
