hasDBRows Step
Description:
This step checks if DB rows are available.
Inputs
- connectionString– Connection
- changeDatabase-- Connect to different database description
- sqlStatement– SQL statement multiline
- variableName – Variable/Global to store the record count
- commandTimeOut – Command timeout value
Returns
- True – step executed successfully
- False – step failed to execute
Usage:
Example:
Let’s build and execute the “hasDBRowsDef” example.
- Create a new definition called “hasDBRowsDef”
- Select the definition and click the “design” button
- Drag a “hasDBRows” step from the toolbox
- Define a variable/global to store the result after execution
- Connect the dots between the start and “hasDBRows” step
- Click the “hasDBRows” step to configure its “Settings” properties. Provide a name to the step. Select the connection string from the drop-down list. Provide a SQL Select statement query.
- Click the “hasDBRows” step to configure its “Settings” properties. If required, provide a different DB name (other than FlowWright); by default, the step connects to the FlowWright database. Provide a variable or global to store the result. Provide the time-out value (in seconds).
- The “Logging” setting configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures the workflow progress and the percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.
- Save the process definition, create a new instance, and execute. Render the process instance. Click on the process step to view its properties. The step should check whether database rows are available. Render the process instance to view the result stored in the variable/global.
Definition Sample:
You may download the sample definition(s) from the link here and later import it (drag-drop) to your FlowWright Process Definition (XML file) or Form Definition (HTML file) page.
NOTE: Please verify and complete the process steps for any missing configurations, such as file path references and database connections after import. Then, save the definition to confirm the changes.
