RE: need to write to database with dynamic cdt type

Hi Gaurav,

Following are the 2 options i would try

a) a!writeToDataStoreEntity() might help you. based on the user selection you can dynamically update the parameters,but only thing is you wont be able to validate the values using monitoring

b)Other option is to create lookup table which contains values for all the tables. Based on the user's table selection (assign the foreign-key id which refers-to the lookup-table), you can create entry in the reference table with some entries. Only challenge is anytime when you create new table ,you need to create entry in the lookup table.

example

Lookup table

id , tablename

1 employeeinfo

2 leaverequest

3. masterdata

Reference-table (based on the user selection , populate the values here)

refid lookupid(foreign-key), cdtvalue status

1 1 employeeinfo completed

2 1 employeeinfo inprogress

3 3 masterdata new

Hope this helps.

Thanks,Barat

You'd probably have more luck with the "write to multiple DSE" node, where you can expressionize both the entity as well as the data you want to pass in. Just note you still might need to do a lot of manual logic to pass in different data types - i'd start out trying to do a very small proof of concept and see if it scales too big when you try to add other types.
