Incremental load from no. of Records in the Data

Hello All,

i have a scenario where i am pulling data from SQL and then extracting it in .qvd file.

In the SQL data there is only a date field with no date time field from which i can get to know when the data was recorded.

can anyone suggest how to insert date time field in .qvd file for every record so that i can do incremental load?

or any other method to do increment load, like no. of records etc.

Regards

how can you insert an information (time) into your sql that are not exists?

 

Maybe you can use a record id which is growing with every new record so you can load max max recordno from qvd and use them as a filter in sql statement?

Thanks for the quick response, i dont have any such filed from which i can get to know that new records are loaded in SQL data, other than a unique invoice_number with each record. 

can you give me an example to create variable with the count of distinct invoice_number  and then to use it for incremental load in the qvd from SQL?

InvoiceNo:

load

Invoice 

from Invoice*.qvd (qvd);

MaxInvoice:

load

max(InvoiseNo) as MaxNo

resident InvoiceNo;

let vMaxNo = peek(ÄMaxNo,0,'MaxInvoice');

drop table InvoiceNo;

drop table MaxInvoice;

Data:

sql select * from Yourdatabase

where InvoiceNo > $(vMaxNo);

store Data into lib://Invoice_$(vMaxNo);

drop table Data;

So you store the datas with MaxInvoiceno in filename. Here you also can use date or timestamp instead.

Hi,

i tired this-

// *****TIME Variable Declaration*****//
LET ThisExecTime= Now();

// *****START CODE Variable Declaration*****//
Let vtoday = date(today());
// PAth for connexion
Let DB_connection = 'pcs';
//Let DB_connection2 = 'PCSOFT';

// ***** Repertory for the QVD files*****//
LET name_app = '$Sales_Data';
//name of the table
LET table_1 = 'A';
// ***** PATH of QVD files *****//
LET vSaveQVD = 'lib://test/';
LET qvd_1 = '$(vSaveQVD)/$(name_app)/$(table_1).qvd';

// **************************** Variable Declaration - END CODE *****************************//

 

$(name_app):
LIB CONNECT TO '$(DB_connection)';
SQL select

c.type_desc as territory,
t.doc_no as invoiceno,
t.doc_date as doc_date, t.party_no,
cast(pm.PARTY_NAME as varchar(60)) as party_name,
sum(i.IM_BASIC)/10000000 as Total_IN_CR

from trinvs t

left join imtrans i on t.doc_type = i.doc_type and t.doc_no = i.doc_no

where 

(MONTH(t.DOC_DATE) = MONTH(getdate()) AND YEAR(t.DOC_DATE) = YEAR(getdate()) )

group by t.party_no,t.doc_no

 

 

 

// ***** STORE QVD files *****//

store $(name_app) into '$(qvd_1)'(qvd);

InvoiceNo:

load

invoiceno

FROM [lib://$Sales_Data/A.qvd]
(qvd);

MaxInvoice:

load

max(invoiceno) as MaxNo

resident InvoiceNo;

let vMaxNo = peek(MaxNo,0,'MaxInvoice');

drop table InvoiceNo;

drop table MaxInvoice;

Data:

sql select * from trinvs


where doc_no > '$(vMaxNo)';

 store Data into lib://Invoice_$(vMaxNo);

drop table Data;

 


can you please check what is the issue?
