Hi,

I have a scenario where 2 output cards needs to be used inorder to populate different root elements in XML based on a condition.

If the Status code on input side = "100", then "Message.mtt" data which has message as root element,

else populate "order.mtt" data which has order as root element.

I tried writing the rule but not able to reference the second card details in first card :(

Can some one please let me know what can be done in this scenario. I am using WTX 8.3 version.

Thanks in advance!

It's not possible to take items from a later output card and use them in an earlier one, as they are processed sequentially.

You will need to insert another output card before the current first - process any data needed for the (current) first and second cards in the new one, then use the results in the later cards.

Thanks Richard for your reply!

I did that and now I'm getting 2 output files (One blank and other with data), in other words, one output file for one card.

Is it possible to have only one output file though 2 output cards are used. If yes, then please help in doing that.

I tried giving the same output file name for both the cards but in that case its overwriting the first output card file with the second one output file.

Thanks!

Hi,

To write both cards to the one file, set the second Output Card transaction to OnSuccess=Append.

However, you will find it easier to debug if you keep separate files until you find the reason for the blank one.
