Disable preceding load?

[richnorris]

Does anyone know of a way to disable preceding loads / specify that you don't want one? I'm having trouble, because I'm trying to create a binary store of all my mapping loads, that take a long time to load but don't change, and then loading this at the start of my ETL that loads in the changing rows.

However, what I get in the binary store is actually just one table, because it seems to have done a preceding load, ignoring all my table names (I can't really see why, nothing indicates this should happen) which means that obviously my applymaps wont work in the ETL. 

Thanks.

You need to be clearer.

I think "preceding load" is the wrong term here.  What you are referring to is "automatic concatenation" which occurs when two tables have the same field names.  To disable automatic concatenation for a particular load, add the "Noconcatenate" prefix. 

Noconcatenate Load x,d,...

Hi Rich,

I'm not sure if I got you right but there we go:
(A) If you have mapping loads in one app and create another app to binary load the first one, you won't be able to access your mapping tables because mapping tables disappear at the end of the load process of the first app.

(B) If you are just trying to create QVD files from your mapping loads, you can create separated apps just for that. (we use to call those apps QVD Builders). Just load your mapping data - without the mapping prefix in your Load statement - and store the data as QVD.

After that, in your main app, just replace the old mapping data with the QVD file.

Little late to thank you on this one, but it was absolutely to do with the fact that mapping loads only exist during the load.
