Hitachi Content Platform​

Only way I know to do this is with the Append stage.

Either way should work

We tried xpath query like below and it throws an error.

Metadata_BCstamm

concat(/Metadata/Client/Stamm/text(),/Metadata/Client/BC/text())

Error testing content class: java.lang.String cannot be cast to net.sf.saxon.om.NodeInfo

After reading some blogs looks like Saxon doesnt support concat? not sure what version are we using but they said older version of saxon doesnt support it.

I stand corrected. Support for functions is not available prior to 1.4 (soon to be released). That means for now your only option is to use the separate stage.

good to know that it is coming.Thanks Yury

Hitendra,

For that exact field in the POC platform, here is what I did to get the same result.

1.  Define a nested conditional statement, ensuring that both BC & STAMM are not null

2.  Then, create a tagging stage, to create the bcStamm field

3.  Then, create the appender, starting w/ the BC field

4.  Then create a second appender task, adding in the STAMM field

Note:  Ensure that you have the multiple values field enabled & a '-' defined as the separator.

Once in place, the bcStamm field will be created w/ the same formatting & values that the MQE content class parsed the data as.

Thanks!

Hi!

Why not use this connector?

HCI Plugin - "Execute Operating System Command" - No more coding ;-)

You'll only need a stage with a line. This stage will create the new field and concatenate all fields that you need, you can even insert any text.
