I took the advice from thread #9368 and used the 9368 script to extract data from one system and write it into Matrix.
It works rather nicely. I use XSLT to transform the source XML into the script XML. I then CRON the transform and the resulting script to do regular updates.
There is a problem. None of the resulting data turns up in search. This is true for Search assets and for the internal search. I’ve tried using the Re-Indexing Tool but it doesn’t work. The data is stored in Matrix as metadata fields against Data Record assets.
The script invokes the the following <action_type>s:
create_link
[*]add_web_path
[*]set_attribute_value (to set Name attribute)
[*]set_metadata_schema
[*]set_metadata_value
[*]set_permission (to set public Read)
There isn't thorough documentation so I've gleaned what I could from the example XML and from performing exports*.
My version is 3.28.7**.
Many thanks
Will
* Some documentation would be lovely
**I know that I should probably update this, but the automatic updates script failed and I haven't had a chance to move it on since.

Few questions,
1) what are the asset type you are importing from the XML?
2) when you say "I've tried using the Re-Indexing Tool but it doesn't work", what really happens? is it throwing errors?
This is very basic but have seen a lot of people miss out on this, is the Search Indexing "ON" in the Search Manger?
You might also want to have a look at 9368, just because you have mentioned about Data Record assets.
