Extracting value from file,populating it as job parameter

[Puli]

Hi,

I have a requirement in which i have a file which has a COUNT value in it(There is only one record in the file).
In another job i want this COUNT value to be set as the default value of a Job Parameter. How can i achieve this?

Regards

use a sequence to get the value from file,( may be cat the file in execute command) and use the output of this as a value in the next job called in the sequence

Your output file will have the count right?
If yes then you can use 'Before Job Subroutine' ...in that 'SetDSParamsFromFile'
For example

My output file is result.txt which will have count say 10
So use following unix command (before starting the next job)

Code: Select all

count=`cat result.txt`
echo Parameter_Name=$count > /home/dev/test/JobParam.txt

cat /home/dev/test/JobParam.txt
Parameter_Name=10

This will create your parameter file.
1.Then under the 'General' tab, set the 'Before Job Subroutine' to be 'SetDSParamsFromFile'
2.The routine takes two arguments (a directory and a file name) which are comma separated.
example : /home/dev/test/,JobParam.txt
The above can also be transformed into job parameters with defaults assigned to them
eg :You can use argument as #Parameter_Name# where Parameter_Name is the parameter defined in the job
3." The Job Parameter file format is as follows:
<parameter-name> = <parameter-value>
E.g. Parameter_Name=10

Hope this will solve your problem...
