Hi,
I have 2 stringlist in the pipeline strList1 and strList2. I want to loop over this strlist one inside the other in such a so that I can do 1-to-1 mapping of values in this srtlist.
This is what I am doing.
1st loop/strList1 (Name1, Name2, Name3)
do something
2nd loop/strList2 (Name11, Name22, Name33)
do something
Map Name1 - Name11
I want to Map Name1 - Name11, Name2 - Name22, Name3 - Name33 and so on.
Does somebody knows how we can implement this logic.
Hi Chris,
When I am looping over loop2 for the first time then I want to map only Name11 value and need to exit so that the control goes to Loop1. When I 2nd time loop over loop2, I want Name22 only and again need to exit. I need to repeate the same till I map all the values.
I hope I clarified my problem.
Could you explain me in detail how we can do this.
Are you using StrList2 as a lookup table of sorts? In other words are you trying to find the value of the string from StrList1 inside StrList1 and then do something? If so, a couple of alternatives related to recordLists were discussed here: [url=“wmusers.com”]wmusers.com
If you always want to set the string in the current element n of StrList1 to the value of the same element n in StrList2, you can do that with a map statement that sets the value of your StrList1 string to %StrList2[myCounter]%, where myCounter is set to the value of $iteration - 1 (using the pub.math:subtractInts service).
Have you actually used it? I was trying something similar and variable substitution with index like, %Array[index]%, just doesn’t work for me. Am I missing something here. BTW, I am using IS4.6
if you looking for loop index and want to use dynamic increment you can use the $iterate pipeline variable(which will be inside the loop step).
And do a variable substitution %iteration% (on Branch or sequence).
In the first Iteration:
loop-1/strList1 (Name1, Name2, Name3)
do something
loop-2/strList2 (Name11, Name22, Name33)
do something
*******get the first value of strList2 (Name11)
end Loop-2
end Loop-1
In the 2nd Iteration:
loop-1/strList1 (Name1, Name2, Name3)
do something
loop-2/strList2 (Name11, Name22, Name33)
do something
*******get the second value of strList2 (Name22)
end Loop-2
end Loop-1
I am not able to do ******* part in my logic.
Could you please let me know how this can be implemented.
I am not sure I understand correctly. Are you suggeting I create a separate branch sequence for each possible value of $iteration and assign the corresponding Array element inside that Branch.
My earlier post was incorrect. I apologize for the bad info.
It is possible to directly reference a string or record contained in a stringList or recordList, but not using the solution I gave.
Use the pub.list:getListItem to do this. Since array elements are numbered beginning with 0 and loop iterations are numbered beginning at 1, you need to use the pub.math:subtractInts service to set a varable (index) to $iteration - 1. Map this value to the index parameter of the pub.list:getListItem service (mapping StrList2 to its list parameter).
The attached package contains a single service which illustrates what I think Akshay is attempting to do (still not clear on this).

Thanks Mark for the help.
This is what I am looking for.
But I am using wm 6.0 in which pub.list:getListItem is deprecated.
Do we have some alternate service for this in 6.0.
Hi Akshay - you should take some time to read the built-in services guide and other pdf’s, however the service you probably want is pub.list:getRecordListItem for 6.0.
The IS 6.0 release notes indicate that there is no replacement service for the pub.list.getListItem servic, but that “you can achieve the old services’ functionality by using the Pipeline Editor to link items and specify array indexes in Link Properties.”
My IS 6.0 server is down just now, but I’ll attempt to test this tomorrow.
BTW, a list of services deprecated in WM 6.0 can be found here:
[url=“wmusers.com”]wmusers.com
Developer 6.0 allows you to specify a variable name (enclosed with ‘%’ characters) on the Indexing tab of the Link Properties dialog. You access the Link Properties dialog by double-clicking on the line connecting your source and target variables. When the source or target variables are lists (string or record) you can specify an index value. In IS 4.6, this could only be an integer and could not be a variable.
The attached package contains an example of this that works for IS 6.0.
* For pub.list services without replacement services, you can achieve the old services’ functionality by using the Pipeline Editor to link items and specify array indexes in Link Properties.
