Hi
I have just converted a few QlikView QVD generators into QlikSense and all has gone well....
..... until I started converting a QVD Generator for an incremental load.
This has an input parameter and its value controls the incremental load:
- Positive number, Loads data that was updated since that many days ago
- Zero, Loads since last reload started
- Negative Number, Does a full load
For Dev testing in QlikView, in the script it uses the Input() function to pass the parameter into a variable. This from the Help is not supported in QlikSense [In reality it is more than just not supported, the command simply does not exist]
In the QlikView QMC we have 2 seperate tasks:
- Full Load task that passes a parameter of -1 into the script variable
- Incremental Load task that passes a parameter of 0 into the script variable
I am pretty sure in QlikSense QMC tasks one cannot pass a parameter to populate a script variable. [I certainly can see no way of doing this and no mention of it in the manual]
I see one can add a Tag to a QlikSense task and it would be a great work around if one could somehow reference that Tag in the load script. But I ain't got a clue how one would do that, or indeed if it is even possible.
Any suggestions anybody ?
