I'd like to create a random 'staging' directory name as part of a larger workflow. Is it possible to randomise a configuration property's value for use in sub-worflows ?
If the workflow ID is 'random' enough, you can use ${wf:id}.

I am trying to do a simple extract in HFM and I keep getting this error.
"Parent-Child name must be specified for Entity dimension due to value: [Parent Total]
Member found that requires parent name:"
All the members in the extract are valid members, this was verified using a smart view extract
The entity dimension does contain alternate hierarchies, i.e. the member in my extract does have two parents
This extract runs successfully when the expand only selection is selected
This is being done via Workiva-WData
The integration user has this level of access
Any help would be much appreciated.
I have tried running almost every combination of member and expand function available, BASE, ALLMEMBERS, IPARENTS, all result in that error.
I am not familiar with Application Engine or PeopleCode but inherited this project when someone left. Seems simple but I'm not sure how to approach it.
I have to load a CSV file that has 5 fields. The last field has multiple values separated by a comma and it is qualified with quotes.
file example:
ID , YEAR, VALUE1 , VALUE2, CODE
87778, 2022, processed, none , 100,40
93332, 2022, processed, none , 60
76633, 2022, error , none , 55,35,9
I have created a File Layout definition and set the qualifier and I can load the file into a staging table but now I want to split the last column (CODE) into individual codes.
I have created 2 PeopleTools Record definitions with a parent/child relationship:
parent Record definition with ID,YEAR,VALUE1,VALUE2, and
child Record definition with ID,YEAR,CODE
I have found that I can use the PeopleCode split function to break the CODE column out into an array containing each value in an element. I'm not sure what the best way to structure the program is though.
Is the staging table necessary?
Or can I use the split function as I read the CSV file in and update the parent/child tables?
Or do I need to keep the staging table and then read out the fields for the parent record and move them to the permanent table and then do the same for the child after using the split function and then loop through the array?
Just looking for some guidance so my first AE project is not a mess.
IMO, there are always multiple ways to achieve the same thing(especially in AE). we choose one based on our requirements and efficiency.
for staging table: In your case, you can ignore the staging table unless you are expecting to load a huge set of data every time or want to do parallel processing. In other words, you can have staging table if you think loading takes a lot of time and you don't want to risk failing that due to other errors.
You can even achieve this whole thing in one peoplecode action without a staging table.
or,
Load the data into staging table and commit.
loop through the data from staging table in AE (having the data in state rec)
Do the transformation as required using peoplecode action
insert data in necessary tables
update status(have a field in staging table) field in staging table, this may come in handy for any analysis/issue in production
I have to use same parameter(paramCompanyId) in both the commands.
I will be setting the parameter value on code.
crystalReportDocument.SetParameterValue("paramCompanyId",LoggedInMembersCompanyID);
Note:
command:crmleadsbycustomer => retrieves report data
command:crmopportunity => dynamic filter dropdown data
Issues:
If I use the same parameter it keeps on prompting without executing
the report.
I don’t want user to enter parameter on prompt so I am setting up in
code.
I don’t want to use separate parameters for each command (this way
works fine)
Edit parameter and change the list of values to "Dynamic" and under "Value", choose the companyID column from command "crmopportunity".
Create a new formula: {?paramCompanyId}=companyID column from command "crmleadsbycustomer".
In the Record Select Expert, use this formula to filter the records.
Is it possible to dynamically create control-M jobs.
Here's what I want to do:
I want to create two jobs. First one I call a discovery job, the second one I call a template job.
The discovery job runs against some database and comes back with an array of parameters. I then want to start the template job for each element in the returned array passing in that element as a parameter. So if the discovery job returned [a1,a2,a3] I want to start the template job 3 times, first one with parameter a1, second with parameter a2 and third one with parameter a3.
Only when each of the template jobs finish successfully should the discovery job show as completed successfully. If one of the template job instances fails I should be able to manually retry that one instance and when it succeeds the Discovery job should become successful.
Is this possible ? And if so, how should this be done ?
Between the various components of Control-M this is possible.
The originating job will have an On/Do tab - this can perform subsequent actions based on the output of the first job. This can be set to work in various ways but it basically works on the principle of "do x if y happens". The 'y' can be job status (ok or not) exit code (0 or not) or text string in standard output (e.g. "system wants you to run 3 more jobs"). The 'x' can be a whole list of things too - demand in a job, add a specific condition, set variables.
You should check out the Auto Edit variables (I think they've changed the name of these in the latest versions) but these are your user defined variables (use the ctmvar utility to define/alter these). The variables can be defined for a specific job only or across your whole system.
If you don't get the degree of control you want then the next step would be to use the ctmcreate utility - this allows full on-the-fly job definition.
You can do it and the way I found that worked was to loop through a create script which then plugs in your variable name from your look-up. You can then do the same for the job number by using a counter to generate a job name such as adhoc0001, adhoc0002, etc. What I have done is to create n number of adhoc jobs as required by the query, order them into a new group and then once the group is complete send the downstream conditions on. If one fails then you can re-run it as normal. I use ctmcreate -input_file . Which works a treat.
I have some initial conditions that are specified by functions of (x,y,z).
I would like to programmatically define a field whose values are a function of (x,y,z). Can this be done as part of field construction, rather than looping over cells/faces and setting each value individually?
Further, can I set the internal field and boundary values in a straightforward manner?
You might want to use #codeStream directive to enter the generating code directly in the field defining dictionary, see official documentation.
Also you might want to look at extensions such as groovyBC, funkySetFields or swak4Foam.
