Need your help to Automate this script to Reload data based on user request

Hi Guys,

I am trying for below and so written below script.

  1. There is variable (vFile) to end users to select the months (12,18 24)
  2. Reload Button so that after selecting vFile they should click on Reload button to reload data as they want
  3. Below script I have written to avoid 2nd time reload if any user has loaded the data on same day
  4. By-default, we load only 6 months data and publish to server

Please someone can review the script and tell me why IF ELSEIF condition is not working when I try to reload from application end.

//This is the Script to Generate LOAD_ON_REQUEST_CONFIG_DATA.QVD file

LET vNow=Now();

LOAD_ON_REQUEST_CONFIG_DATA:

LOAD * INLINE [

    RunDateTime, NumberOfMonths, LoadFlag

    $(vNow), 12, 0

    $(vNow), 18, 0

    $(vNow), 24, 0

];

STORE LOAD_ON_REQUEST_CONFIG_DATA INTO $(vFactQVDStoragePath)\LOAD_ON_REQUEST_CONFIG_DATA.QVD;

DROP TABLE LOAD_ON_REQUEST_CONFIG_DATA;

Hi!

You have to "extract" values from table to variable:

Let vNumberOfMonths=Peek('NumberOfMonths',0,'LOAD_ON_REQUEST_CONFIG');

Let vLoadFlag=Peek('LoadFlag',0,'LOAD_ON_REQUEST_CONFIG');


and then you can use them without $()


if vNumberOfMonths=24 and ...

Hi Sergey,

As you suggested, I have corrected it and now it is working but I am facing couple of issues:

  1. When Initially I reload, I want to reload 6 months data but in below script it is executing block IF $(vFile)=12 AND v12NumberOfMonths=12 AND v12LoadFlag=0 THEN. I was expecting to execute ELSE condition. The reason it is executing 1st block because $(vFile) default value is coming as 12.
  2. How can I remove default value of Input variable $(vFile)? This variable is defined as predefined value which is having 3 values 12, 18 and 24. Default it is showing 12.

Kindly Help it in resolving it?

I fink you have to do the same thing

IF vFile=12 AND v12NumberOfMonths=12 AND v12LoadFlag=0 THEN

Same result. It is executing the block IF vFile=12 AND v12NumberOfMonths=12 AND v12LoadFlag=0 THEN 1st

Ok. I got it.

You can use another variable. For example vUserReload

Add 2 actions before reload and after reload

11.png

in your script you can write these lines before using vFile in conditions.

If vUserReload=0 then

Set vFile=24;

end if;

But I did not get it. What it is going to make difference?

When initial load and publish I am doing it should load only 6 months data means should execute this block:

ELSE

FACT_DATA_1:

//Load 6 months Data bydefault

NOCONCATENATE LOAD *

RESIDENT FACT_DATA

WHERE _DateKey>=20141006;

DROP TABLE FACT_DATA;

and if some user trying to reload from section access then it should execute and reload based on user selection

I'm sorry, It's my mistake.

If vUserReload=0 then

Set vFile=40; //any numbers except 12, 18, 24

end if;
