Hi SorenTara,
To read XML files you can configure File Listener rule as follows:
In Properties tab -> under Source properties -> enter Source name mask as *.xml
You can use an asterisk as a wildcard match.
For example, BA*.xml causes the system to find all files with type of XML that start with the two letters BA.
If you leave this blank or use a mask of *.*, the listener selects every file in the directory identified in the Source location field (skipping over any files that are themselves directories).
To update in a datatable, you can try using a function: pxConvertStringToPage in the Service activity.
Remember you need to save the page after converting, so that a record gets added to the datatable.
Hope this helps!
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks.

You can import xsd of that xml in some integration class and refer the generated xmlparse rule in service file in parsesegments in request tab.
