Hi @akila4 

 

May i know if you are using your local system path in the JavaScript to access the file. If yes, Could you try uploading the file to adobe's SFTP with  proper rights and try accessing the file from that path.

 

Let me know if this helps.

Hi Akila,

Seems like you haven't provided proper path of json file in your javascript activity (code).

File path is a parameter for java script code or function you have in javascript activity, please check.

    Hi @akila4,

     

    As mentioned by @akshayanand also above, how you will access the json file, you need to upload this file into SFTP before operating on it.

     

    Once this is done, you can access it from SFTP in the js activity, parse it and save the data in a table. You don't need to load it using data loading activity.

     

    please refer below post for steps

      Hi @akila4 ,

       

      Let this be your JSON data,

      Flow structure:

      Query > Js Code

       

      Query Activity:

      Condition: primary key is not empty

      Js activity:

      var que = xtk.queryDef.create(
      <queryDef schema={vars.targetSchema} operation="select">
      <select>
      <node expr="@address"/>
      <node expr="@addressType"/>
      <node expr="@addressStatus"/>
      <node expr="@quarantineReason"/>
      <node expr="@quarantineErrorText"/>
      <node expr="@lastErrorDate"/>
      <node expr="@createdDate"/>
      <node expr="@JsonData"/>
      <node expr="@id"/>
      </select>
      </queryDef>
      ).ExecuteQuery();

      var mySchema = vars.targetSchema.split(":")[1]
      for each (var i in que){
      var myJson = i.@JsonData
      var jsonObj = JSON.parse(myJson);
      var address = jsonObj.data.addressQuarantine.address;
      var addressType = jsonObj.data.addressQuarantine.addressType;
      var email = jsonObj.data.addressQuarantine.email;
      var addressStatus = jsonObj.data.addressQuarantine.addressStatus;
      var quarantineReason = jsonObj.data.addressQuarantine.quarantineReason;
      var quarantineErrorText = jsonObj.data.addressQuarantine.quarantineErrorText.replace(/'/g, "''");

      var lastErrorDate = jsonObj.data.addressQuarantine.lastErrorDate;
      lastErrorDate = formatDate(lastErrorDate, "%2D/%2M/%2Y %02H:%02N:%02S");
      var createdDate = jsonObj.data.addressQuarantine.createdDate;
      createdDate = formatDate(createdDate, "%2D/%2M/%2Y %02H:%02N:%02S");
      //logInfo(i.@pk);

      var myXML = <{mySchema} xtkschema={vars.targetSchema} operation="update"
      id = {i.@id}
      address = {address}
      addressType = {addressType}
      addressStatus = {addressStatus}
      quarantineReason = {quarantineReason}
      lastErrorDate = {lastErrorDate}
      createdDate = {createdDate}
      />
      xtk.session.Write(myXML)
      }

       

      Final output:

      Thus we can get the data from inbound transition and pass it into temporary schema.

       

      I hope this helps:

      Sujith Kumar.
