Batch Macro with AMP not updating other marcro's variable.

[bruno_leal]

Hi all,

I have an app that calls a Batch Macro with a few parameteres:

Inside this Batch Macro I call another Macro and assign to one of it's variables %Question.ControlParam.Database% (which is one of the parameters of the batch macro:

With AMP I get this error which means the Batch Macro is not updating the value to be passed to the other macro:

Without AMP everything runs smooth.

Is there any workaround for this as without AMP to run this app for all systems it will take more than 1 day?

Thanks,

Bruno

can you share your action tool configuration and what your data looks like going from your union tool to your macro? My hunch is this is relates to something not being updated correctly so your variable is not being passed to your macro - rather the name of your variable is being passed.

I'll share that as soon as I get to my desk.

In the meantime, I did try to manually send the necessary data to the batch macro using a text input and with only 1 row, but the error remained so I think the problem must be after the load of data into batch macro.

Thanks,

Bruno

I'm confused - is this a batch macro or an app? chained app? 

[bruno_leal]

First screen is an app which calls the batch macro.

Second screen is the batch macro that calls another macro (standard). This, to show how data is loaded into that standard  macro.

cool/makes sense.

Can you post: - macro output from the union tool before the input to macro 2-. connect macro output to browse tool. set up browse tool to show via interface designer.

action tools configs in macro 2.

also - action tools ->

are you connecting control parameters directly into the second macro? don't do that. send them to text input tools.

The app, I can even change to this:

Where the input to the Batch Macro is simply this:

This is the Questions for the Batch Macro:

[apathetichell]

map questions to text input - not directly to batch macro. share screenshots of the action tool configs for all of these if that doesn't help. something is wrong with the action tool on those specific fields - you are not sending in [#1] - or not sending it in at the right place.

Many thanks for all this.

In the last version I have already all ControlParam directly in Text input with 1 unique row. The other questions (with normal variables) are not the problem. This is what I have now:
