merging two different data sets in a grid

Richard over 8 years ago

I have a data store based cdt and a set of online data from another system (accessed via a!httpQuery) that I'd like to merge in a grid, is there a recipe for such an action?

Each row in the CDT may or may not have a corresponding item in the dataset taht comes back from the REST query.

There may be a more graceful way of doing this that I'm not thinking of, but as far as I know you might need to manually aggregate field-by-field into a new CDT or dictionary in your local variable. I would suggest (mainly for sanity's sake) querying the 2 parent data types into their own local variables first, i.e. local!appianDataSet & local!httpQueryDataSet

So you might do next:

local!aggregatedData: {
fieldA: append( local!appianDataSet.fieldA, local!httpQueryDataSet.AField ),
fieldB: append( local!appianDataSet.fieldB, local!httpQueryDataSet.BField )
...
},

(then within your with()):
local!dataSubset: todatasubset( local!aggregatedData, local!pagingInfo ) ...
