Can you pass a variable from one Analytic App to the next in a chain?

[ahigginbotham]

I have 2 chained Analytic apps, and I'd like to take a piece of data from the first and pass that as a parameter to the second. For example, in my first app, I have the field StateAbbr which will change based on the file name that is chosen to run. I would like to pass that field as a parameter to the chained app. Currently, I have radio buttons for the 13 different states that we could be running, but it would be nice to be able to pass that info from the first app into the second so that a user isn't required to choose.

Thanks in advance,

Alison

Hi @ahigginbotham 

You can create staging datasource which has the selection data which is saved by first app and read in my second app.

Hope this helps : )

Hi @ahigginbotham 

To expand on what @atcodedog05 is saying, write the results of the first app as one(or more as required) .yxdb files into the current directory.  Have the second app read these files on start up.
