Want to use this smart service for a fileUpload function save into or expression rule to convert to CDT first. But not sure the syntax or name of smart service. Please advise
Hi, I have used smart service Export CDT To Excel from the version 2.0.0. The smart service works well on one environment, but with the exact same implementation, it fails to work on other environment. Need expedite assistance as this is affecting a client deliverable.
*Version 2.0.0 - 31May18
- Thread-safe implementation of date, datetime and timestamps in the "Export SQL to flat files" and "Import CSV to Database" Smart Services
@Ben Ben Dudley ,I am still facing issues in Export to SQL smart service while exporting the data in multiple sheets.
There are three tabs in my excel. Using three nodes to export each sheet data.in first node , the data is exported successfully and the generated document is passed as input to the second node to overwrite the data in sheet 2 and the output of second node is passed as input to 3rd node. The final document has data in third sheet whereas the data in sheet 1 and sheet 2 were lost.
Can you please advise on this?
Thanks in advance!
Ok I figured it out - CDT field names, as opposed to cell names. However, it seems like it might be good if it could just do columns or rows, too.
Also, if you ever made a similar function that can preserve the "auto fit to row height" setting for cells post-generation, I'd be a fan ;-)
To clarify, the columns I was passing were defined like ={"D", "E", "F"}. The field names I'm trying now are being passed like ={"D2", "E2", "F2"}. The smart service is working as normal except nothing I've tried so far actually preserves the word wrap setting on the indicated field(s).
Ben Dudley - I had seen that, but it doesn't seem to do much by way of explanation. First I tried passing in some column names (since I want whole columns to retain wrap text functionality) and that did nothing. Then I passed in individual cell names (even though it'll be a pain to come up with individual cell names for 150 rows spread across 4 columns, all needing word wrap functionality). This also seems to have done nothing. Any more specific hints?
Hi - this release note may help:
*Version 1.9.5 - 23Apr18
- Added wrap text functionality: New input “wrap_text” provided for “CDT to Excel”- and “SQL to Excel”- Smart Service to define an array of field names to have the wrap text option enabled in the generated excel sheet.
