New TIBCO Community Coming Soon
In early summer, TIBCO plans to launch a new community—with a new user experience, enhanced search, and expanded capabilities for member engagement with answers and discussions! In advance of that, the current myibi community will be retired on April 30. We will continue to provide updates here on both the retirement of myibi and the new community launch.

What You Need to Know about Our New Community
We value the wealth of knowledge and engagement shared by community members and hope the new community will continue cultivating networking, knowledge sharing, and discussion.

During the transition period, from April 20th until the new community is launched this summer, myibi users should access the TIBCO WebFOCUS page to engage.

[SOLVED]using variable to define source tables?

Hi,

Using iWay Datamigrator-

I have designed a flow manually with "Product01" as my source table to load into "Product_new" as my target. I also create a schedule to run this flow daily. Each day will create new table name "ProductXX"(where "XX" would be a counter) so my second day would be "Product02" to append into "Product_new" . is there a way to schedule this flow via source's name change dynamically/sequentially?

What is the database of Product01? Is it a SQL table or a sequential file?


Thank you for using Focal Point!

Hi Chuck,

Sorry for lack of information. It is SQL Server Database. Base on a daily script it generate the sequential table daily by using different name.

Yes this should be possible, you will need to run a DM Stored Procedure prior to the load that will set a &variable with the source table name that will be referenced in the productxx access file in the TABLENAME section. So you only need a single master file for the source file and the TABLENAME portion of the access file will be dynamic based on the &variable, You will need to keep the counter in another table that you increment and then look it up to set the &variable in the DM stored procedure. Hope that makes sense...


Thank you for using Focal Point!
