Script help

[amit_saini]

Hi Folks,

I'm having one table called "STICHPROBE" , so normally we are running script below for QVD generator to load data every 2 hours from Database.

Suppose script started running every Monday than Tuesday...Wed...Thus... But on Friday What I'm looking is to load data once again from Monday . So on every Friday's of the Month we gonna load data once again from Monday.

So could u please help how this can be handled by using below script:

********************************************Script Start***********************************************************

LET vStartDate = date(makedate(2015,1), 'DD.MM.YYYY hh:mm:ss');

Set vQVD = 'D:\qvprod\QV_QVD';

Let vQVDCurrentYear = 'D:\qvprod\QV_QVD\'& year(today());

$(Include=.....\0_db_connections.qvs)

Let vStart = now();

Let vReloadStart = now();

///$tab STICHPROBE

if filesize('$(vQVDCurrentYear)\$(vPlant)_STICHPROBE.qvd') >0  then

  trace >>>>>> $(vQVDCurrentYear)\$(vPlant)_STICHPROBE.qvd    ;

  MAX_TIME:

  load

     max(DTTSERF) as LAST_LOAD_TIME

  from $(vQVDCurrentYear)\$(vPlant)_STICHPROBE.qvd (qvd);

  let vLAST_LOAD_TIME =  timestamp(peek('LAST_LOAD_TIME',0,'MAX_TIME'), 'DD.MM.YYYY hh:mm:ss');

  trace >>>>>> LAST_LOAD_TIME:  $(vLAST_LOAD_TIME);

  drop table MAX_TIME;

else

  LET vLAST_LOAD_TIME = '$(vStartDate)';

  trace >>>>>> LAST_LOAD_TIME:  $(vLAST_LOAD_TIME);

end if

// load new values

STICHPROBE:

LOAD

    '$(vPlant)' as Plant,

    *;

SQL SELECT

*

FROM $(vPlantAutor).STICHPROBE

WHERE DTTSERF > to_timestamp('$(vLAST_LOAD_TIME)', 'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS');

// load prior values

if filesize('$(vQVDCurrentYear)\$(vPlant)_STICHPROBE.qvd') >0  then

concatenate(STICHPROBE)

load

*

from $(vQVDCurrentYear)\$(vPlant)_STICHPROBE.qvd (qvd);

end if

// store all values

store STICHPROBE into $(vQVDCurrentYear)\$(vPlant)_STICHPROBE.qvd;

LET vSTICHPROBE_LOAD_DURATION = Interval(now() - vStart) ;

LET vStart = now();

LET vSTICHPROBE_Size = num(filesize('$(vQVDCurrentYear)\$(vPlant)_STICHPROBE.qvd')/1024,'00.0') & ' KB';

LET vSTICHPROBE_Records = QvdNoOfRecords ('$(vQVDCurrentYear)\$(vPlant)_STICHPROBE.qvd');

sunindia‌ any suggestion ???

as you are storing the date in timestamp, so from monday from what time you want to load the data?

Hey Amit -

Let me get some clarity here.

I think this is where you are loading the data from, right?

STICHPROBE:

LOAD

    '$(vPlant)' as Plant,

    *;

SQL SELECT

*

FROM $(vPlantAutor).STICHPROBE

WHERE DTTSERF > to_timestamp('$(vLAST_LOAD_TIME)', 'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS');

On a Friday, you want to load all the new data starting from Monday of the current week. Am I correct so far?

Now is this the place where you are trying to set value for vLAST_LOAD_TIME using if then statement?

Hi Sunny,

On "I think this is where you are loading the data from, right?"  : Yes

"On a Friday, you want to load all the new data starting from Monday of the current week. Am I correct so far?" : Yes Correct

For "Now is this the place where you are trying to set value for vLAST_LOAD_TIME using if then statement?"

Yes looking some condition here for "vLAST_LOAD_TIME" to achieve this .

Thanks,AS

We are starting load from 6:00:00 AM.

Since vLAST_LOAD_TIME seems to be based on today, I am not sure why we need the if then else statement. May be something like this might work?

LET vLAST_LOAD_TIME = TimeStamp(If(WeekDay(Today()) = 'Fri', DayStart(Now()-4) + 6/24, DayStart(Now()) + 6/24), 'YourRequiredFormatHere');

[amit_saini]

I'm trying something like below:

Let vLoadFrom = timestamp(If(Weekday($(vLAST_LOAD_TIME)) >= 5, WeekStart($(vLAST_LOAD_TIME)), $(vLAST_LOAD_TIME)), 'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS');

STICHPROBE:

LOAD

    '$(vPlant)' as Plant,

    *;

SQL SELECT

NSPCIDNR,

NTOOLNR,

NSTPNR,

NPERS_IDNR

FROM $(vPlantAutor).STICHPROBE

WHERE DTTSERF > to_timestamp('$(vLoadFrom)', 'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS');

store STICHPROBE into $(vQVDCurrentYear)\$(vPlant)_STICHPROBE.qvd;

But no sure if this is right???

Thanks,

try this

MAX_TIME:

  load if(weekday(today())='Fri', date(today()-5)+maketime(6),LAST_LOAD_TIME1) as LAST_LOAD_TIME;

  load

     max(DTTSERF) as LAST_LOAD_TIME1

  from $(vQVDCurrentYear)\$(vPlant)_STICHPROBE.qvd (qvd);

1st check if WeekStart($(vLAST_LOAD_TIME)) is actually taking you to a Monday. You can do this on the front end of the application by check if WeekStart(Today()) is giving tyou 04/11/2016 or 04/10/2016 or some other date. You might have to adjust it if it isn't giving you a Monday -> WeekStart($(vLAST_LOAD_TIME), 0, 1) (Play around with the third argument in the WeekStart function).

Other than that, give it a shot and see if it works or not. I would be curious to know if it is working or not.
