example for calculation of value

Hi,

what is the preferred way to make calculations on exsisting values?
I get the values from a SQL Server and want to make calculations on them.
I tried this using UpdateAttribute Processor but the calculated value didn´t show up
in the file.
Is there some kind of option to get them to show up in the file?

I also tried using a script(Javascript) using OutputStreamCallback to do this. But this didn´t work either.
Can you provide me with an example on how to do this?
Thanks.

Regards,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,  

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

The Data Integration Expression Language provides the ability compare them to other values, and make some calculations on the existing values. 

Please refer the Expression language guide for more details - https://help.syncfusion.com/data-integration/expression-language-guide

In Data Integration Platform, we have provided the preloaded sample Data flow(templates) that deals with data transformation.  
Some of them are ,  
·         Boolean Operations 
·         Column Operations 
·         Conditional Operations 
·         Mathematical Operations 
·         Searching Operations 
·         String Manipulation 
·         Substring Operations 
·         JsonToSQL 

In order to utilize this sample you need to initiate the preloaded samples in to the Data Integration Platform.

In order to execute your scripts you can use “ExecuteScript” processor to achieve your use case.  

Can you provide me with an example on how to do this?

Hi Karthikeya,thanks for your response.I got a simple script working, where the values from the sql server are overwritten with Hello World.How do I get the script to append the value to the exsisting values?How do I read a specific value from the content of the flowfile? Is this possible via a script or is a custom processor the better solution?I tried to use session.append instead of session.write, but this resulted in a MethodMissingException.My script is attached.The use case would be the following: Execute SQL -> ExecuteScript-> SplitAvro-> ConvertAvroToJSON->ConvertJSONToSQL->PutSQLScript: import org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils    import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets         flowFile = session.get()    if(!flowFile) return    def txt = 'Hello world!'    // Cast a closure with an inputStream and outputStream parameter to StreamCallback    flowFile = session.write(flowFile, {inputStream, outputStream ->      text = IOUtils.toString(inputStream, StandardCharsets.UTF_8)        outputStream.write(txt.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8))    } as StreamCallback)    session.transfer(flowFile, REL_SUCCESS)What would be the correct input for the module directory for a javascript script?Thanks. Regards,Patrick
