clsExecuteETLValidationJob Step
Description:
This step is used to validate an ETL job.
Inputs
- etlDef – select ETL definition
- variablesToPass - pass selected variables
- globalsToPass - pass selected globals
- variableToStoreID – variables/globals to store ETL Instance ID
Returns
- AllRowsGood – returns all good rows
- GoodBadRows - returns good and bad row
- AllBadRows - returns all bad rows
Usage:
Example:
Let’s build and execute the “clsExecuteETLValidationJobDef” example.
- Create a new process definition called “clsExecuteETLValidationJobDef” and open the definition in designer mode.
- Drag “clsExecuteETLValidationJob and placeholder” step to the canvas.
- Connect the dots between the “Start” and “clsExecuteETLValidationJob” steps, as shown above.
- Select the connection lines and configure the appropriate workflow paths for the step returns - “AllRowsGood, AllBadRows, and GoodBadRows”.
- Define a variable or a global to store the ETL Instance ID and the output file path.
- Click the "clsExecuteETLValidationJob" step to configure its "Required" properties. Provide a name for the step. Select the ETL definition from the drop-down list. Click the Save button. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button for the Copilot to add new process steps that match your process description.
- Click the "clsExecuteETLValidationJob" step to configure its "Optional" properties. Click the button to configure multiple variables and globals that will be passed to the ETL instance during execution. Provide the variable or global reference to store the ETL instance ID. Click the Save button.
- Click the button to configure variables to pass to the ETL instance as shown below. A pop-up window is displayed for configuration. Click the Add Row (+) button to insert an empty row. Select the variable from the drop-down list. Click the Save button. You may add multiple variables by using the Add Row button.
- Click the button to configure globals to pass to the ETL instance as below. A pop-up window is displayed for configuration. Click the Add Row (+) button to insert an empty row. Select the global from the drop-down list. Click the Save button. You may add multiple globals by using the Add Row button.
- 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 below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.
- Navigate to the Process Definition page. Save the process definition, create a new instance, and then execute it. Render the process instance. This “clsExecuteETLValidationJob” step shall validate the ETL job as configured.
- Navigate to the ETL Instances page. Render the above instance to view. The ETL process execution is shown below.
Definition Sample:
You may download the sample definition(s) from the link here and later import them (drag-and-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.
