[resolved] Problem with tSendMail and extern variables in properties file

[Anonymous]

Hi,
I try to use the component tSendMail with variables from an external file, but nothing goes right...
So I have
tFileInputProperties_1 ====Main====>tSetGlobalVar_1
   ||OnSubJobOk
   ||
tSendMail

In tFileInputProperties_1 :
File format : .properties
file Name: "./emailDetails.properties"

In tSetGlobalVar_1
Key : "row1.key"
Value : "row1.value"

In tSendMail
To : ((String)globalMap.get("To"))
From : ((String)globalMap.get("From"))

I have also try that:
To : ((String)globalMap.get("row2.value"))
From : ((String)globalMap.get("row1.value"))

In emailDetail.properties
From = abc@abc.com
To= sos@sos.net
host=smtp.gmail.com
port= 465
...

What's o the correct method?
Thank's
Burnside.

It looks like because you're using global variables, you're not passing the right key/value to the right global variable. Looks like you might have to do so conditionally (if key = "To" then load to variable "To" etc...). I suspect that if you were to print out the values of your global variables, you'd find that only the last set in your properties file stuck. It's always good practice to print out the values of your variables (System.out.println("key: " +  ((String)globalMap.get("To")) )...


An alternative to using global variables would be to use context variables. Context variables are global variables whose values can be set outside the Talend job - from a file, like you're doing. Because the key/value pairs in the file map to key/value pairs in the job, it makes loading the values very easy. And, there's a component for doing so. As shown below, create context variables in your job, read the values from the file, connect them to a tContextLoad, select options to print the values - so you can confirm that your job is using the right values.

Hi,

I have solved my problem with this method.

tFileInputExcel_1 ---Main--- tFlowToIterate_1 ---Iterate--- tFixedFlowInput_1 --- Iterate --- TSendMail_1
tFileInputExcel_1 : The xls file with the values
tFlowToIterate_1 : Key="Mail" and value=Mail
tFixedFlowInput_1 : mode= Use Single Table
                              values= 
                              |_>Column =>Mail
                              |_>values =>((String)globalMap.get("Mail"))
TSendMail_2 : Field to : ((String)globalMap.get("Mail"))

I join a print screen of the dashboard.


Hope It help you.
