DI Studio: Tables Not Retaining Records When New Appended

jwhite — Tue, 08 Nov 2016 19:29:15 GMT

I'm finding a peculiar behavior when executing some jobs.

Let's see if i can explain the process flow:

[Lookup Node] looks up records on table [table_1]. Records it doesn't find are passed to a [Table Loader Node]. That table loader node, then appends these new records to [table_1].

What ends up happening is that table_1 becomes wiped, except for these new records.

My question is, how can I reference table_1 in the same job twice. first to check it then to append new records?

Thanks!

I am answering very specific to your question - "how can I reference table_1 in the same job twice"

Answer - You can drag and drop as many times as you want. If you want to use a table twice. Drag it on job editor two times.

What ends up happening is that table_1 becomes wiped, except for these new records.

Answer- I think, you need to check the properties of table loader. Please check if load technique is of Replace.
