Hi Satish,
XLOOKUP(LIST, OLDVAL)
Retrieves the new value that is associated with the given old value from the given cross reference list. Use xref() to set up a cross reference list. Useful for maintaining referential integrity across multiple databases when performing updates.
Parameters: LIST: a cross reference list, OLDVAL: value
Return value: new value
Example: @xlookup(PEOPLE, Joe Bloggs)@
XREF(LIST,OLDVAL,NEWVAL)
Adds the pair (old value, new value) to the given cross reference list. Returns the new value. Use xlookup() to retrieve these values later.
You typically use @xref and @lookup in a datapool that you have constructed to clone data between a source and target. Typically an identifying ID on a column is read from the source, and a new ID is generated to be used on the target. The xref function maps the old (source value) and new ID (generated value) to one another. In a later expression, you use xlookup to retrieve the mapping of the two values.
Parameters: LIST: a cross reference list, OLDVAL: value, NEWVAL: value
Return value: new value
Example: @xref(PEOPLE, Joe Bloggs, Vincent Van Gogh)@
XREFPERSIST(TABLENAME, COLUMNNAME , OLDVAL, NEWVAL)
Xrefpersist performs the same basic function as xref, but additionally stores the specified old and new values in the repository. The mappings of OLDVAL to NEWVAL are stored in a list with the name TABLENAME.COLUMNNAME. Xrefpersist stores the old and new values in the gtrep_pj_key_values table when the publish completes. CA TDM portal stores only the table-column combinations that use xrefpersist in the repository. In CA Datamaker, using @xrefpersist once causes all values used in both @xref and @xrefpersist to be stored to the repository. Use the @xlookup method to query the mapping of values later.
Parameters: TABLENAME: table name where this value has been generated, COLUMNNAME: column name where this value has been generated, OLDVAL: value, NEWVAL: value.
Return value: new value
Example: @xrefpersist(PEOPLE, NAME, Joe Bloggs, Vincent Van Gogh)@
