Dynamically pass Date in Output tool Pre-SQL Delete

UpendraPandey

Hello Guys,

 

Need help to figure out a scenario. I am loading some files which has different ReportDate.

Before loading i wanted to delete any data previously loaded for that file. Is there any way i can dynamically change this in Output tool Pre-SQL

 

Basically let see my source file has data of Report_DATE as 2-July and and in My target target also i have data for 2-July. SO before loading the source file data i need to delete the Target table data only for 2-July

You could put your output data tool in a macro feeding in your regular data from a macro input and your date as a control parameter which uses an action tool connected to the output data tool set to replace a specific string in the Pre-SQL.

Hi,

 

Here's an example of how to use macro. Errors will occur because of the table and connection I'm using, replace if you want to test.
