variable << condition1
However, In my Spock reports it gives me output like this
Where:

How to write an expression that evaluates a pipeline parameter to TRUE/FALSE?

I have a pipeline parameter fed by a config file in SQL.
Sometimes that parameter will be empty, not NULL but just empty ('').
How do I write an expression that will evaluate the parameter to TRUE/FALSE(blank/not blank) that I can put into my IF activity?
Basic question but thanks a lot.
I tried
#pipeline().parameters.x = ''
but it just told me Parameter x = '' was not found .......
You can use the below expression in the if activity to evaluate a parameter is empty or not.
#empty(pipeline().parameters.ok)
Sample demonstration:
A sample parameter ok.
For example, purpose I have created a string variable which I will use inside if to check the output.
In if give the above expression.
Inside True activities I have given a set variable activity and gave some value and did the same inside false activities.
Output when the parameter value is not given(empty).
Output when we gave any value to the parameter

Update multiple column with bind variable using cx_Oracle.executemany()

I have been trying to update some columns of a database table using cx_Oracle in Python. I created a list named check_to_process which is a result of another sql query. I am creating log_msg in the program based on success or failure and want to update same in the table only for records in check_to_process list. When I update the table without using bind variable <MESSAGE = %s>, it works fine. But when I try to use bind variable to update the columns it gives me error :
cursor.executemany("UPDATE apps.SLCAP_CITI_PAYMENT_BATCH SET MESSAGE = %s, "
TypeError: an integer is required (got type str)
Below is the code, I am using:
import cx_Oracle
connection = cx_Oracle.connect(user=os.environ['ORA_DB_USR'], password=os.environ['ORA_DB_PWD'], dsn=os.environ['ORA_DSN'])
cursor = connection.cursor()
check_to_process = ['ACHRMUS-20-OCT-2021 00:12:57', 'ACHRMUS-12-OCT-2021 16:12:01']
placeholders = ','.join(":x%d" % i for i,_ in enumerate(check_to_process))
log_msg = 'Success'
cursor.executemany("UPDATE apps.SLCAP_CITI_PAYMENT_BATCH SET MESSAGE = %s, "
"PAYMENT_FILE_CREATED_FLAG='N' "
"WHERE PAYMENT_BATCH_NAME = :1",
[(i,) for i in check_to_process], log_msg, arraydmlrowcounts=True)
Many thanks for suggestions and insights!
Your code has an odd mix of string substitution (the %s) and bind variable placeholders (the :1). And odd code that creates bind variable placeholders that aren't used. Passing log_msg the way you do isn't going to work, since executemany() syntax doesn't support string substitution.
You probably want to use some kind of IN list, as shown in the cx_Oracle documentation Binding Multiple Values to a SQL WHERE IN Clause. Various solutions are shown there, depending on the number of values and frequency that the statement will be re-executed.
Use only bind variables. You should be able to use execute() instead of executemany(). Effectively you would do:
cursor.execute("""UPDATE apps.SLCAP_CITI_PAYMENT_BATCH
SET MESSAGE = :1
WHERE PAYMENT_BATCH_NAME IN (something goes here - see the doc)""",
bind_values)
The bottom line is: read the documentation and review examples like batch_errors.py. If you still have problems, refine your question, correct it, and add more detail.

How to remove milliseconds from utcnow() result in Azure data factory

I want to pass a value for parameter usertime, the value should be like 2020-07-23T13:19:31Z , which will be used in my source connection url.
For this i supplied utcnow() function in the value tab. But i realized utcnow() will return the value as "2018-04-15T13:00:00.0000000Z"
To remove the millisecond part i have used the expression substring(utcnow(),1,20).
and also used expression formatDateTime('utcnow()', 'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss').
Both my trails are useless where my expression returning error ass invalid parameter.
Could you please help me how can i supply the value 2020-07-23T13:19:31Z in Azure data factory datasource parameters.
You don't want utcNow inside quotes, here is an example from one of my pipelines using your format:
#formatDateTime(utcnow(), 'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss')
which gives this result, setting a variable named x:
{
"name": "x",
"value": "2020-07-24T13:44:42Z"
}
Build it in 'Add dynamic content' as you can pick the functions and it will format properly if you aren't familiar.
Your substring won't work because it requires a string for the first parameter and utcnow is a timestamp.

error with string variable

I'm trying to use a string variable as input to an xml function. When I use this command:
name2_node(i).setTextContent('truck');
there is no error. But when I replace it with:
name2_node(i).setTextContent(type(i,1));
an error occurs like this:
No method 'setTextContent' with matching signature found for class
'org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl'.
The variable type is a string array. In fact when I type type(i,1) in command window the result is:
ans =
string
"truck"
What part am I doing wrong?
Two things:
use a different variable name, type is a built in function which tells you the variable type, hence why it shows "string" in the output.
Then access the cell array of strings with curly braces
vehicletypes = {'car'; 'truck'; 'van'};
name2_node(i).setTextContent(vehicletypes{i,1}); % For i=2, this passes 'truck'

Evaluate variable value from string dynamically

We need to get the value of dynamically constructed variables.
What I mean is we have a variable loaded from a property file called data8967677878788node. So when we run echo $data8967677878788node we get the output test.
Now in data8967677878788node the number part 8967677878788 needs to be dynamic. That means there could be variables like
data1234node
data346346367node
and such.
The number is an input argument to the script. So we need something like this to work
TESTVAR="data`echo $DATANUMBER`node"
echo $$TESTVAR #This line gives the value "test"
Any idea on how this can be accomplished
You can use BASH's indirect variable expansion:
data346346367node='test'
myfunc() {
datanumber="$1"
var1="data${datanumber}node"
echo "${!var1}"
}
And call it as:
myfunc 346346367
Output:
test
Your code is actually already pretty close to working, it just needs to be modified slightly:
TESTVAR="data`echo $DATANUMBER`node"
echo ${!TESTVAR}
If $DATANUMBER has the value 12345 and $data12345node has the value test then the above snippet will output test.
