Appending Data with Previous loaded data While extracting data from Database

Hi Experts

I have to schedule the extractor in way that it reload the data every month from database and concatenate the data every month with previous loaded data in qvd.

I have to store the data monthwise in same qvd when the extractor reloads.

For Example

This is the data for the month March'19

Next Month when the extractor reloads it will extract the data for the April'19 for the same records. So  I want to append that data with (Existing Data) March'19 Data.  Let the data for April be

This method should be followed every Month. Every month data will be concatenated with previous data.

I am attaching the sample data for reference.

Please suggest.

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Deepaksingh,

This should be fairly easy to setup:

TableWithOldQvd:
Load
*
From [Your source];

// Create part for your calendar to know which month it is
tmpCalendar:
Month
From [Calendar source]
Where Date = (Today()
;

let vCurrentMonth = peek('Month',0,'Calendar')

drop table tmpCalendar;

Concatenate(TableWithOldQvd)
Load
*
From [Connection with database]
Where Month = $(vCurrentmonth);

 

But a better thing to do is make a table key. A unique string that only is there once in your table. The reason for this is that all new entries are concatenated to your source.

// Create a unique key and name it %{YourTableName}, like %TableWithOldQvd.
// This can be a combination of EmployeeID, Month and Year.
TableWithOldQvd:
Load
EmployeeID &'|'& Month &'|'& Year as %TableWithOldQvd
*
From [Your source];

Concatenate(TableWithOldQvd)
Load
*
Where not Exists (%TableWithOldQvd)
;
Load
EmployeeID &'|'& Month &'|'& Year as %TableWithOldQvd
*
From [Connection with database]
;
