I'm checking daily if certain files exist in a folder on-prem. The files have a specific format, but the first few letters indicate specific job. For example, xyz-yyyyMMdd.csv, or abc-yyMMdd.csv etc
I would like to use switch activity to see if the file for each job has arrived or an alert should be used. How can I dynamically let the switch activity read the 'xyz' portion knowing that the other part of the file name is dynamic?
Thank you
If number of your few letters is three as you said, you can try this expression:
#substring(item().name,0,3)
If no, you can try this:
#split(item().name,'-')[0]
Here is my test:

I need to create a Azure Data Factory pipeline which has to first format the source file and then call another pipeline. The pipeline would be triggered every time a new file is uploaded in the source blob storage. I want to re-use this pipeline for different source file formats.
For this I intend to use a Switch activity and based on the source file name, call corresponding Copy activity to create a formatted sink file. The issue is that the source files have standard prefixes but then have a timestamp, which means that file name would be different every time, something like:
File 1:
ABCDEF_1233
ABCDEF_2244
File 2:
UVWXYZ_1222
UVWXYX_2345
Can anyone help me understand how to do this?
I was thinking of using a Switch activity, and in the expression, use the #startsWith(triggerBody().fileName, ) and then in the CASE statements, I would like to provide the file name prefixes like ABCDEF, UVWXYZ etc. and then call a copy activity for each of the CASE statements.
But I am not sure how to specify the second argument in the startsWith() function.
suppose you have the filename in a variable called filename. write expression like this to find out which file we are going to load.
Have a set variable activity and assign file prefix to another variable called prefix
#if(greater(indexof(filename),'ABCDEF'),0),'ABCDEF',if(greater(indexof(filename),'UVWXYZ'),0),'UVWXYZ'))
At the end of this set variable, your prefix will have either ABCDEF or UVWXYZ
Then, you can use a switch activity based on prefix variable and mention the cases as
ABCDEF
UVWXYZ
for each case, you can have a copy activity for doing related transforamtions.
Can I use a parameter from Carte's URL in a Job? Something like this:
http://localhost:8080/kettle/startJob/?name=myjob&xml=Y&testvar=filename.txt
I want to do this because I have a job to transform an input file but I want to change that filename dynamically, and creating a new XML file for each file is a bit nonsense.
I've tried many things and I couldn't find a solution :-(
All named parameters must be declared in the parameters tab of said JOB and KTR to be executed and receive the information passed from the URL parameters.
I am currently trying to find an alternative to the Governance Dashboard that Rob Wunderlich (Qlik founder) created, since I am currently encountering errors when using it.
How do you differentiate between a data source (QVD, aka source) that is used by a QVW or a data file (QVD, aka target) that is generated by that QVW?
QVW:
LOAD
Lower(Discriminator) AS DataFile.Filepath
FROM C:\Sample_Transform_file.qvw (xmlSimple, Table is[DocumentSummary/LineageInfo])
Below is an example of what I found when parsing through the XML Metadata
(discriminator subtag within the lineageinfo tag) for one specific Transform QVW.
Sample Table Output
Are targets just identified by this?
STORE - [qvdName.qvd](qvd)
From what I have found, That appears to be the case, to a degree.
All of our QVW files that output a QVD utilize DIRECTORY statements rather than either hard-coded file location paths or variablized paths. Hence why all of the Targets are getting displayed as "STORE - qvdname.qvd", instead of displaying the filepath. In a sense, that is a flaw on QlikView's part, regarding its Governance Dashboard (or at the very least, they don't seem to recommend variablizing those paths as a standard in order to avoid breaking the lineage).
I am using jmeter in elemetery freya (14.04)
I have a jmeter test plan with view results tree
I am trying to generate a csv file in view results tree including the number of active threads field.
It appears to me that the detail is being entered in the result.csv file, but the values representing this attribute has no field name, and hence that detail cannot be used in a graph which I want to create from the result.csv
I have changed JMETER-INSTALL-DIR/bin/jmeter.properties according to https://jmeter-plugins.org/wiki/PluginInstall/#Configure-JMeter
How can I get a result.csv file with a suitable fieldname like "active-threads"
Don't change anything in jmeter.properties file, upgrade to new JMeter version will discard your changes. Use user.properties file instead
The in order to add column names to CSV file add the following property to user.properties file:
jmeter.save.saveservice.print_field_names=true
Assuming good configuration you should be seeing grpThreads and allThreads columns along with the values.
See Apache JMeter Properties Customization Guide for more information on JMeter properties and ways of working with them
User is selecting rather hefty single XML files via an NSOpenPanel. The application is making moderate changes to the file so I'd like to include an option of creating a backup in a subfolder based on the directory the original file was selected. Creating the new subfolder is no problem but does anybody have a good way to to create a backup of said foo.xml, is there a practice for such thing or is it as simple as creating a duplicate and renaming it foo.back01.xml?
Not sure, how much this Approach will fit with your requirement, but this is what i was doing,
-- Have a directory in the Temporary folder of the System : Assuming once the Application is closed all this files will be deleted,
-- To have the uniqueness in the file, generate file name with following pattern , have a function say [+(NSString *) generateFileNameForExtension:(NSString *)extension Create:(bool)bCreate]
Assuming input is .xml and false , it might give fileName something like this,
AppName128908765445.xml , i.e. [AppName][UTCTimeStamp].[Fileextension]
-- Once you think its done, there could be Function call [self addToDeleteList:(NSString *)fileName] which will add a file to delete list,
-- There would be a function, which shall invoke a timer for 1 minute and every one minute it will read all the files gets added into delete list then delete it.
Will share the code with you if needed...
