NLS String Manipulation

roy · Post by **roy** » Mon Jan 17, 2005 4:38 am

Hi All,
I need to run a routine on some NLS strings.
I have a Server job version of it.
But since it will not be available in a standard PX job I need to think of other options to perform it's functionality.
So far the only thing worth while I came up with is 1 of 2 options:
1. use server jobs for data extraction and perform that routine there.
2. try to build a PX routine that has the same functionality.
basically this routine does a visual to logical transformation on the string so widows will show it in a reasonable mannor.

Any Sugestions will help.

Thanks in advance,

You could use a Server Transformer (including the routine) on the Parallel Canvas?

And how will it impact my parallel processing?

You could build a custom operator (BuildOP maybe) that would handle this. How well do you know C++?

Edit: Even the thought of "Server Transfomer" ... is a nightmare on performance.

My thoughts exactly.
If we'll expiriance run stability or performance issues we'll probably end up rebuilding the basic code's logic in c++ to build a custom PX routine/BuildOP.
Since the routine's logic is mainly string manipulation, implementing it is more simple then building a com dll implementing DS API for windows applications to interact wiht DS, so I'm quite confident I'll manage it

.

if we experiance stability issues using BTransformer and server performance is satisfactory we might do this in a server job.
