Check day and run number

[talendstar]

I have talend job that runs twice a day daily. It generates a new output file everyday for every run. Filename stays the same.

What I would like to do is develop a check within the job that checks for:

1. Is it Saturday

2. Is this run number 2

If both conditions are then execute another subjob that archives the file  produced to a table.

I have used the IF condition before however I am not sure how to check what day it is? and how to enumerate the job run number (I am guessing I can log that prior to job run in a table and then check against that)?

thoughts?

thanks

Hi,

    To identify the current day, the best component is to use a tRowgenerator. Store the data output from this component to a context variable and use it in necessary condition check like within Run If flows.

For the second query, you will log the previous run information to a table each time job is running. Then you can count the processing count easily.

Coming to the details of the tRowGenerator, please refer the screenshots below.

Hope I answered your query 🙂 Please spare a second to mark the topic as resolved.
