As we can see in the above XML example, there are multiple <baseshipmentmodule> tag and within each <baseshipmentmodule> we have a tag called: <sfromlocation> and <stolocation> which stands for location code, from and to location.



Now if we observe a little bit, we have a total of 4 <baseshipmentmodule> tag and the value for <sfromlocation> and <stolocation> in same in the 1st and 2nd <baseshipmentmodule> tag. Where as the value for <sfromlocation> and <stolocation> is same in the 3rd and 4th <baseshipmentmodule> tag. Looking for to group the XML based on the <sfromlocation> and <stolocation>.



Expected output is shown below: -

        </Stop>
    </Load>
</Entity>



As we can see in the above result, we have combined the <shipunitmodule> based on the <sfromlocation> and <stolocation> tag. And he tag <container> has been grouped and the rest of the tag <s1> is unaffected by it. We did get help from one of the Engineers (Michael), with the below XSLT,


XML
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform>
    <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
    <xsl:template match="/Entity">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:for-each-group select="Shipment" group-by="concat(shipFromLocation, '|', shipToLocation)">
                <Shipment>
                    <xsl:copy-of select="shipFromLocation, shipToLocation"/>
                    <xsl:copy-of select="current-group()/container"/>
                </Shipment>
            </xsl:for-each-group>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>




But, it is not able to help the overall output, please do help us here. Its quite important. Any suggestion will matter a lot.
