[SOLVED] Global variables EDASPROF

Hai,

working with Datamigrator 81M.
I added two global variables to edasprof-file:
&&GWOWNER, &&GWCONN.
-SET &&GWOWNER='GWSDDBA5';
-SET &&CONN='DBSD';

Then I added these to an access file of a synonym:
TABLENAME=&&GWOWNER.GWTB363
CONNECTION=&&CONN

When I do a refresh of the synonym i get an error. It says:
(FOC1677) undeclared server "&&CONN" referenced for DB2 Interface

When I just add the values in the access file
TABLENAME=GWSDDBA5.GWTB363
CONNECTION=DBSD
everything works fine.

Do those global variables not work with Refresh?

Regards
Ron

I don't remember 100% but I think that you need to define the variable in the master also.
Something such as (not sure for the second variable, I already made it for one, not two) :
FILENAME=GWTB363, SUFFIX=<your connection type>     ,
 VARIABLE NAME=&&GWOWNER, $
 VARIABLE NAME=&&CONN, $
  SEGMENT=GWTB363, SEGTYPE=S0, $

Cannot find the doc on it to validate

I didn't know you can use &&Variables in an access file. I thought variables are resolved during the run of a fex. Has that ever worked?

I added the variables to TABLENAME and CONNECTION in the properties of the synonym.
Also see course 976, Datamigrator Advamced Techniques - Student Guide V7.7.07, chapter 'Iterating through multiple tables'.

Does this only work when running a fex, and not when refreshing a synonym? Does this mean that when I want to refresh a synonym i have to fill in the DB2 schema and connection for a table??

regards
Ron

I think if you want to override the default connection attributes you ought to use ENGINE DB2 SET commands like the ones they list below:

Yes, and it still does.

@Ron, I use exactly as you and Martin have outlined (add -SET to EDASPROF, VARIABLE keyword in .MAS plus variable in .ACX) and it works perfectly.

Refresh leaves the variable(s) in place in the MAS/ACX files.

Hi Ron,

Did you add them to the .mas as outlined by Martin above?

If not then do that.
