Hi,
I would like to merge some data in TOS - Im pretty new to TOS so maybe it is easy and I just do not know how to do it.
In the job I get data from an xml-file, two fields 'name' and 'position'
In a ms-sql-table I update a pid (..set pid = pid + 10 where..) for any new entry (no, autoincrement is not a option, two different tables...otherwise that would be easy), select that pid from the transaction and than commit it, so I can be sure I got the pid I just updated (multiuser-system)
Now I would like to write in a different table this three values: name, position and the pid I set in the update.
I set up the job with xml-job, main-output in a tMap and an iterate-link to the mssql-row.
The mssql-row links with onComponentOk to the mssql-input (the select).
If I try to link the main-row from this mssql-input to the tMap, I got a locked-sign.
Probably it is a sync issue but how can I manage it?
Best regards,
Harald
Hello Harald
I think you are going to create a cycle flow in a job. It is forbidden. For solution, see 1468.
If you still have any trouble, please upload some screenshots of your job.
Best regards
Hi,
I fear you are right, that this might be a cycle-job :-|
I uploaded two screens showing the idea of the job I would like to setup.
The MSSQl_Row does the update, the Input gets the new pid (serval) from the table
Thank you very much for helping me. I had that idea some days ago but I get a "Iterate kann not be resolved" if I start this job (of course caused by the xml-Output iterating the mssql_row). In my first job (as shown in screenshots) the iteration works fine with the very same xml-output (as long as I do not merge the data in that tMap...) OK, that is fixed, the xml_output which iterates the mssql_row need a main-output to e.g. tLogRow, than it works.
But the output of that tMap is wrong now.... The xml-file has 7 valid entries for example. Now I get 7 rows with the first pid and this 7 xml-entries, then 7 rows with the second pid and this 7 xml-entries, then 7 rows with the third and so on....
Anyone an idea how I can resolve this problem? I thought about a temp-file, counting the rows and tAggregateRow but that is not really elegant and I had no opportunity to design this idea now. So I do not know if it will solve that issue at all. Kind regards, Harald
