The xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Packages>
 <Package Name="Package 1" Type="Package">
 <Batch Name="Batch 1" Type="Batch"/>
 <Batch Name="Batch 2" Type="Batch"/>
 </Package>
 <Package Name="Package 2" Type="Package">
 <Batch Name="Batch 1" Type="Batch"/>
 <Batch Name="Batch 2" Type="Batch"/>
 </Package>
</Packages>
