[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...
