Synthetic keys while loading XML data

Hi all,

I am using qlikview for about 3 - 4 weeks now and allready came into several situation with synthetic key. Till now I was allways able to manage them but now I am a bit lost.

I am trying to load XML Data from an official webside. The XML data consists out of several tables which are joint by a manual created key. The XML data needs to be loaded for several dates. The date itself is part of the XML URL.

Since I am requesting allways the same 4 columns I would like to store them into one table in qlikview (like loading 2 Excel documents with the same columns, they get stroed by qlikview in the same table)

In the beginning I use the script wizard to load the first Information from the XML Interface, everythink was working fine. When I add the second LOAD for the second date, I get synthetic keys and I do not really know why.

Can someone help ?

Skript example:

LOAD

  klasse as KLASSE,

  quote as QUOTE,

  jackpot as JACKPOT,

  %Key_zahlenUndQuoten_429DBD973FACB660   as key // Key to parent table: TABLENAME2

FROM [https://URL....&datum=25.12.2013] (XmlSimple, Table is [TABLENAME1]);

Join

LOAD

  [head/datum] as DATUM,

  %Key_zahlenUndQuoten_429DBD973FACB660 as key   // Key for this table: TABLENAME2

FROM [https://URL....&datum=25.12.2013] (XmlSimple, Table is [TABLENAME2]);

DROP field key;

LOAD

  klasse as KLASSE,

  quote as QUOTE,

  jackpot as JACKPOT,

  %Key_zahlenUndQuoten_429DBD973FACB660   as key // Key to parent table: TABLENAME2

FROM [https://URL....&datum=28.12.2013] (XmlSimple, Table is [TABLENAME1]);

Join

LOAD

  [head/datum] as DATUM,

  %Key_zahlenUndQuoten_429DBD973FACB660 as key   // Key for this table: TABLENAME2

FROM [https://URL....&datum=28.12.2013] (XmlSimple, Table is [TABLENAME2]);

DROP field key;

QlikView will automatically Concatenate the tables if the Field names are the same.

I suspect the problem is with the first Drop Field key; statement.  Remove that and see what happens.


Use Drop Field Key; after you have loaded all the tables.

Try this

Table1:

LOAD

  klasse as KLASSE,

  quote as QUOTE,

  jackpot as JACKPOT,

  %Key_zahlenUndQuoten_429DBD973FACB660   as key // Key to parent table: TABLENAME2

FROM [https://URL....&datum=25.12.2013] (XmlSimple, Table is [TABLENAME1]);

Join(Table1)

LOAD

  [head/datum] as DATUM,

  %Key_zahlenUndQuoten_429DBD973FACB660 as key   // Key for this table: TABLENAME2

FROM [https://URL....&datum=25.12.2013] (XmlSimple, Table is [TABLENAME2]);

DROP field key;

Table2:

LOAD

  klasse as KLASSE,

  quote as QUOTE,

  jackpot as JACKPOT,

  %Key_zahlenUndQuoten_429DBD973FACB660   as key // Key to parent table: TABLENAME2

FROM [https://URL....&datum=28.12.2013] (XmlSimple, Table is [TABLENAME1]);

Join(Table2)

LOAD

  [head/datum] as DATUM,

  %Key_zahlenUndQuoten_429DBD973FACB660 as key   // Key for this table: TABLENAME2
