Strange DD behavior

marcussteiner

Hi all,

we need to deploy a list of replicants from a dcr into a database table. No big deal but we also need to insert a value of "99" into the replicant table for each dcr. So we have dcrA with replicant 1 and 2 and dcrB with replicant 2 and 3 we need in the replicant table the values for dcrA 1, 2, 99 and for dcrB 2, 3, 99. The 99 is no acutal value of the replicant list but we still need it in the replicant table. We've added a second group in the deployment definition to first add the normal replicant values (1,2,2,3) and the second one to deploy the "99" values. This works in theory!!!
What happens is that with every other deployement we have a different number of replicants in the replicant table. The number is rotating with every deployment say (34, 85, 34, 85, 34, 85 and so on) until we change a dcr which will then change of the number.

Long story short. Anyone an idea of how to get the default values for a replicant into the replicant table?

Cheers

Hi Hollis,

You might want to try using FormAPI for this behaviour. OnSave, write the replicant values into a hidden field with the values separated by commas, and add your default value onto the end. You can then use this hidden field in place of the real replicant to populate your replicant table, by using the list-to-replicant functionality of DataDeploy.

I hope this helps, have a nice day,
