Map..using. How the h*ll do I get it to work?

[#1]

Arrrrrgghhh!

I can't seem to get the Map..Using function to work! I have been trying every single combination, and I'm tearing my hair of.

The applymap works fine, so it can't be a problem with the Mappingtable.

Mappingtable:

Mapping load * inline [

x, y

1, Yes

-1, Yes

0, No

];

map IsPerGroup using Mappingtable;

BudgetFact:

LOAD BudgetFact_id,

BudgetRate,

BudgetQuantity,

BudgetDuration,

BudgetAmount,

Currency as BudgetCurrency,

IsPerGroup,

ProdPackageName,

ProdPackageTypeCode,

ProdPackageTypeName

FROM

[.\DataSources\QVD\BudgetFact.qvd]

(qvd);

I bet someone is going to tell me the answer after 2 min and it is going to be pretty obvious... But any help is very much appreciated.

Mappingtable:

Mapping load * inline [

x, y

1, Yes

-1, Yes

0, No

];

map IsPerGroup using Mappingtable;

BudgetFact:

LOAD BudgetFact_id,

BudgetRate,

BudgetQuantity,

BudgetDuration,

BudgetAmount,

Currency as BudgetCurrency,

applymap('Mappingtable', IsPerGroup) as group,

ProdPackageName,

ProdPackageTypeCode,

ProdPackageTypeName

FROM

[.\DataSources\QVD\BudgetFact.qvd]

(qvd);

No, I don't want to use the applymap function since it doesn't work with QVD Optimized loads. I was under the impression that Map..Using would work with QVD optimized as it applies the mapping last, after all QVDs are loaded.

Hi,

Applymap function will work in optimized QVD`s as well, at the end of the load statement you need to include WHERE 1 = 1;

Hope this will help you.

Hmm... I tried this now, and it is still not loading (qvd optimized / superfast)... Infact, with the WHERE 1=1 it doens't load QVD optimized even without the ApplyMap-function.

Mappingtable:

Mapping load * inline [

x, y

1, Yes

-1, Yes

0, No

];

BudgetFact:

LOAD BudgetFact_id,

BudgetRate as BudgetRate2,

BudgetQuantity,

BudgetDuration,

BudgetAmount,

Currency as BudgetCurrency,

ApplyMap('MappingTable',IsPerGroup),

ProdPackageName,

ProdPackageTypeCode,

ProdPackageTypeName

FROM

[.\DataSources\QVD\BudgetFact.qvd]

(qvd)

WHERE 1 = 1;

Hi,

I used the below script and got the correct/expected result in the field IsPerGroup

the maybe this is abug related to teh qvd?

Mappingtable:
Mapping load * inline [
x, y
1, Yes
-1, Yes
0, No
];

map IsPerGroup using Mappingtable;

BudgetFact:
LOAD * inline [IsPerGroup,TEST
1, Yes
-1, Yes
0, No
];

Hi

Gave it a try too. The manual only states that the mapping table can not be a qvd file but my results show that loading the data from a qvd ignores the map command.
To maintain speed I suggest you build the IsPerGroup value when building the QVD, if you need the original value too add a new field for the mapped representation.

Mappingtable:

Mapping load * inline [

x, y
1, Yes
-1, Yes
0, No
];

//map IsPerGroup using Mappingtable;

BudgetFact:
load * inline [IsPerGroup
0
1
-1
2
-2];

Store BudgetFact INTO BudgetFact.qvd;

DROP TABLE BudgetFact;

map IsPerGroup using Mappingtable;

Load * FROM BudgetFact.qvd (Qvd);

Hi,

I agree I do think the problem is related to the qvd file. I ahev not read the ref manual but my guess/supsicion would be that when a qvd file is read (optimized) the map statement is ignored and no mapping occurs.

[#9]

I know I'm late to the party, but we only load from QVDs (we pre-build everything). Some of the tricks work sometimes and other times they fail. Not sure, but the manaul says we can't so I gave up trying to find a work-around.

What I do is load the QVD's into a regular QV table, then load the mapping from the resident, then drop the table. An extra step but always works.
