passing date context (converted to string) to parent
Hi, Not sure if this is a bug but I am trying to to pass a date context back to parent and I keep getting the exception: Set value for key: <some date> failed, error message: Unparseable date: "" Here's my setup: Job A contains a tFixedFlowInput with 2 columns, key and value, both string. the key is the name of a date context and the value is: TalendDate.formatDate("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss",TalendDate.getCurrentDate()) I output this to tBufferOutput so the parent can use it. Job B calls Job A and loads the buffered data (key/value par) using tContextLoad. When I run job B, i get the error above. Looking into the code I notice the following lines: if (key_tContextLoad_1 != null && "job_run_created_at" .equals(key_tContextLoad_1)) { String context_job_run_created_at_value = context .getProperty("job_run_created_at"); context.getProperty(...) returns empty string - since it gets the context from the current job (Job B). Shouldn't it be getting the value from Job A? In this case the variable is value_tContextLoad_1. Other datatypes seem to work fine and they get the value from value_tContextLoad_1. Please advise. Thanks Sarah
Does it work if you replace the tRunJob in Job B with the tFixedFlowInput from Job A? Have you assigned a default value to the context variable in Job B?
