It seems to me that you can use xsl:iterate with streaming to do this.
The syntax is discussed here:
http://www.saxonica.com/html/documentation/sourcedocs/streaming/stream-with-iterate.html
So you could iterate with two counters: one to keep track of which
batch you are on for filenaming purposes and the other counter counts
from 1 to batch_size. When it hits batch_size, you call
<xsl:result-document> to send off a chunk of output and reset that
counter and iterate the other.
I think the more modern versions of saxon use snapshots for streaming,
so you could also recover ancestor information if you need to put that
into the output.

Hello All,
I have this requirement :
I have to write an XSLT which will create files of a specific batch size.
For example
For 44 college elements and For batch size 10, the XSLT will produce 5 files
with a max of 10 colleges in each file… There are elements preceding and
following <College> (country-info , Politics, sports, etc…)and these will
have to be copied as is into each batch file
XML Sample
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Country code="GB">
<country-info>
<tourism/>
<population/>
<counties/>
</country-info>
<University name="Oxford University">
<Colleges>
<College>All Souls College</College>
<College>Balliol College</College>
<College>Blackfriars</College>
<College>Brasenose College</College>
<College>Campion Hall</College>
<College>Christ Church</College>
<College>Corpus Christi
College</College>
<College>Exeter College</College>
<College>Green Templeton

<College>Worcester College</College>
<College>Wycliffe Hall</College>
</Colleges>
</University>
<politics/>
<sports/>
<airports/>
<science-relegion/>
</Country>
..
I tried the following code but I realized I am breaking the Streaming rules…
<xsl:transform version="3.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
<xsl:mode name="batch" streamable="yes"
on-no-match="shallow-copy”/>
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:param name="fileHref"
select="'file:///E:/stylesheets/TestBed/InputSource/University.xml'"/>
<xsl:param name="BatchSize" select="10"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:stream href="{$fileHref}">
<xsl:sequence>
<xsl:for-each-group
select="/Country/University/Colleges/College" group-adjacent="(position()
-1) idiv $BatchSize">
<xsl:result-documenthref="file:///E:/stylesheets/TestBed/Result/CollegeBatch{position()}.xml">
<xsl:stream href="{$fileHref}">
<xsl:sequence>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="batch">
<xsl:with-param name="current-group" select="current-group()"tunnel="yes"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:sequence>
</xsl:stream>
</xsl:result-document>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:sequence>
</xsl:stream>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*:Colleges" mode="batch">
<xsl:param name="current-group" tunnel="yes"/>
<BatchedColleges>
<xsl:copy-of select="$current-group"/>
</BatchedColleges>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
I tried to change for-each-group to
<xsl:for-each-groupselect="/Country/University/Colleges/College/copy-of(.)"
group-adjacent="(position() -1) idiv $BatchSize">
Which works but does not copy the right Colleges…or ends up completely
messing up with the numbers. Where did I go wrong ?
Your help is appreciated.
