Pentaho xaction - How can I change database name on runtime?

Question

I am using Pentaho Design Studio(pds-ce-win-32-4.0.0-stable). In an xaction file I need to change database name in the url like

jdbc:sqlserver://IP:1433;databaseName=??????;integratedSecurity=false

I generated an output as result set column that holds the url. When I run the xaction that url is shown as output. But when I use that result set column as database url of next process it doesnt work.

Answer 1

Not sure why you use url pattern, in xaction so far I used the jndi name for DB resource:

<jndi><![CDATA[tsi_test_blade4]]></jndi>

and this can be also replaced with variable:

<jndi>{JNDDDI}</jndi>

So as JNDI you pass as parameter that resource is used.
