What are trying to achieve? Please describe in detail.

I’m trying to check if a variable is NOT NULL before copying it to another Document.
For this, I’m trying to use the “COPY CONDITION” property available in the “line” which links one Document to Other.

For example: Let’s say we have a Document List of “EMPLOYEES”.
Then, I need to map this Document List to another Document List.

But, I would like to check if “EMPLOYEES/ZTITLE” is NOT NULL , in other words, it must contain a value before sending to the destination.

I tried the following conditions but it didn’t work:
%EMPLOYEES/ZTITLE% != null
%EMPLOYEES/ZTITLE% != $null
%EMPLOYEES/ZTITLE%

The only way that worked was:
!%EMPLOYEES/ZTITLE%

But I didn’t understand this COPY CONDITION logic. It should return FALSE or TRUE to copy the value? Could you help me?

Thanks in advance!!!

%emp/name%!=null condition is working for me.

Copy steps only gets executed if condition result is true.

Hi Biswa.
Thanks for your response.
Please, could you test the same using a Document List instead of a single document object?
Thank you

[Biswa_Bhusan_Dalai]

Yes it is working. In case of array. You need to set array index in condition.

[Renan_Lopes1 (Renan Kaic Lopes)]

Understood!

But, if I put the index 0 (zero) won’t affect the condition only for the first array element? Or the condition will be set to the other elements too??

[Biswa_Bhusan_Dalai]

You can foreach step for each array item.

Foreach menu you will find in pipeline toolbar
